Logistics here are extra interesting. Sperm whale clicks are basically a sonic weapon. This is maybe the loudest animal known in the history of the evolution, known to be capable to kill an human just with sound if they get alarmed. I wonder if we would be able to watch the destruction of the robot with a extra loud sound wave at any given point or how they designed to avoid it.
Is this actually true? I've heard this but have never seen evidence of this actually happening before. Are we saying that, theoretically, a sperm whale's ecolocation is so powerful that if a human was swimming near it within some specified range they'd die?
The only thing that we know about the flag is that it a fiberglass flag, so he must be obviously criticising the allegedly benefits of fiber in the diet.
As seen by the raised fist, the man is angry because the operation Epic Fiber has caused a blockage just in the strait of Trump, so is a metaphor about the dangers of having too much nuts in the world. Banski has planned also that the flag ends totally white by seagull activity; so this, always evolving and deceivingly simple piece of art, gives us hope for a future restoration of the blockage soon before we end nuking everybody on the process.
Denouncing the raise to nuttionalism while providing hope for the future. A powerful message.
See?, this is art, everybody can sell anything with a little practice. If they can sell a banana taped in a wall, so you can too.
I bet that we will see another TACO in a few hours or days. EU will just shrug and replace the soldiers with their own people.
The fact that Trump is building a bunker to dance (while watching the rest of America burn?) should be much more concerning. At the best outcome, it suggests that he don't plan to quit the WH ever. At the worse scenery, the idea of a major remodeling in the WH paid by private sponsors is a problem. Those sponsors can have hidden motives. How they can be sure (after surgically purging anybody competent from the place), that at this moment nobody is placing dozens of microphones or small explosives inside the columns of the ballroom? The next president will need to scan and tear off everything.
1) There are at least 403 cases registered of Fukushima residents developing Thyroid cancers after 2011 and the study is still ongoing. This is five times the expected cancer ratio.
Of those at least 155 cases of malignant cancers happened in children (Sokawa 2024). We know that thyroid cancers are rare among young people... except in one special place were a sudden increase in similar cases was registered since the 80's. This place is called Chernobyl. Children that lived in towns around Fukushima daichi where the accident happened have three times more probability of suffering thyroid cancer than children that lived in towns farther from the plant.
2) Not the strong excuse that it seems, after the company was warned by scientists about the possibility of such earthquake and the urgency to improve their safety measures. They had a lot of time to fix it, and did absolutely nothing
Somebody investing a zillion to hire people to train and feed dolphins most probably:
1) have enough money to buy robots instead and get rid of the legal and logistic trouble
2) would want to use the dolphins for activities that grant a better return of the investment like marine engineering or war (mining/demining).
Every major of a coastal city in California, or South-Africa (with a big beach visited by thousands of swimmers a day), would pay solid money for bay-watching and shark deterrent services that really work without the need of eyesore nets. People love to swim with dolphins too so would be another tourism resource in itself.
The time of your dolphins would be just too valuable and expensive to do Archaeology.
Or they know how this animals look in the real life.
Take in mind that the first page cover different morphs of the same genus. Maybe even the same species. They all look variations generated by computer, because they all are Cubaris sp and have exactly the same cephalon shape.
Only the terrestrial ones. Sea isopods are a different planet (see Bathynomus).
The kangaroos from the invertebrate world. This group contains one infamous taxonomic troll move, when an English decided to name several different genus with anagrams. So everybody now needs to remember the differences between Nerocila, Cirolana, Conilera, Rocinela, Anilocra and Olencira. All because he wanted to impress a woman called Caroline. To add insult to the crime he created also Livoneca, that everybody was (wrongly) calling Lironeca, just because exceptions are annoying to remember. The joke was expanded by a second taxonomist later with Renocila and in 1990 a third author created Creniola and Norileca. I would wish to strangle all of then with my own hands. Slowly.
If you sink a few old ships around in the area you will never need to repair it again each two years. Extra bonus if they are exactly the same ships that you found red-handed damaging the cables.
