My mental health and substance-use recovery work unearthed a history of trauma. Yet it is the benign ignorance of psychiatrists that has caused me the most pain since finding sobriety.

Trial of Wolbachia-infected insects draws praise for new disease control method

A study that dug into the history of the Amazon Rainforest has found that indigenous people lived there for millennia with "causing no detectable species losses or disturbances". Scientists working in Peru searched layers of soil for microscopic fossil evidence of human impact.

It’s now nearly four decades since the iconic Commodore 64 8-bit computer saw the light of day, and the vintage format shows no sign of dying. Enthusiasts have produced all kinds of new takes on the platform, but it’s fair to say that most of them have concentrated on the original style keyboard console form factors. A completely different take on a Commodore 64 comes from [UNI64] in the form of the Handheld 64, a complete Commodore 64 in a Game Boy style form factor that uses the original 64 chipset.

In all likelihood, Android Automotive is a flavor of Google's near-ubiquitous operating system you've never actually used, and probably won't (statistically) for a long time yet. It's also, in my eyes, the most important version of the platform since the original. About two weeks ago, I spent four days with Automotive in the Polestar 2, an EV from the sister brand of Swedish carmaker Volvo, that launched in the United States in 2020.

Say you’re an evil scientist. One day at work you discover a protein that crosses the blood-brain barrier and causes crippling migraine headaches if someone’s attention drifts while driving. Despite being evil, you’re a loving parent with a kid learning to drive. Like everyone else, your kid is completely addicted to their phone, and keep refreshing their feeds while driving. Your suggestions that the latest clown squirrel memes be enjoyed later at home are repeatedly rejected.

Few if any pieces of alleged extraterrestrial “evidence” are as well known or as controversial as the “Alien Autopsy” film released in 1995, which supposedly depicts the autopsy of an alien that crashed on a ranch just outside Roswell, New Mexico, in August of 1947. You can now own the “Alien Autopsy NFT” for a cool $1,000,000, proving that the 90’s never really went away.

Eventually Mars won't be only domed cities and underground bunkers. It will be a live planet with towns and villages. Picture of the Day 23/05/2021 - a view of what could be a village on a partly terraformed Mars by Portuguese architect Nuno Fontarra.

"Our findings indicate that some of the contents of yogurt may actually change the way our brain responds to the environment," said UCLA's Dr. Kirsten Tillisch.

How important are the contents of a dream? While some would say that they reflect the deepest desires of the dreamer, others insist they are best forgotten in the morning because they have no practical significance. Some people would even say that dreams reflect nothing but random firing of neurons (do they know what 'random' means?).

It took scientists 375 years to discover the eighth continent of the world, which has been hiding in plain sight all along. But mysteries still remain.

This is definately an upgrade and worth watching.

North Korea tallest abandoned Ryugyong Hotel - the 'Hotel of Doom'. It was supposed to become the world's tallest hotel. Instead, it became the world's tallest abandoned building. The pyramid-shaped Ryugyong Hotel is 330 meters (1,080 ft) tall and one of the most prominent features of Pyongyang's skyline.

--The new labeling standard went into effect on October 1, and the supermarkets and stores have until April 1 to get rid of products with older cartoon emblazoned packaging.

"Ham and bananas hollandaise" was a thing.

For decades, the only sign of the lost village of Curon was the curious appearance of a 14th century church spire rising out of the middle of a lake.

We are working toward a true account of the universe, and the world we see around us is an accurate picture of reality. Or so most of us believe. At the same time we think we, along with our experience, are a product of evolution. Yet evolution is driven by survival not by truth.

Long before Jamestown or the Pilgrim Fathers landed at Massachusetts in 1620, the US English style of spelling words such as 'honor', 'color', and 'center' were alive and well in British English. Etymologist and broadcaster Susie Dent opens an 'aluminum' can of worms and teaches Brits a thing or two about their shared linguistic heritage.
