I think one reason data center outrage is so pronounced is people spent decades recycling and composting and otherwise scrimping to offset energy use and protect clean water, and the second we hit an inflection point for cheap electricity the banking industry said we’re taking all of it, fuck you

Gus the T. rex fetched $50.1 million at auction, a new record price for a dinosaur If this is how much dinosaurs cost now, how can museums afford them? Where does that leave science & education? Will the public still have opportunities to be inspired? www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Can anyone recommend a cell phone charger for cars that isn’t dash/window mounted (would over heat here in a min flat!), and doesn’t occupy a cup holder. I’ve tried the vent ones, they always fall off. I currently have one that fits in the CD player but it hates bumpy roads. Anyone? Recommendations?

They're using Rhino Pipeliner 5000, which freezes as sprayed-on curds almost exactly as it hits the surface. Won't flow out, flatten, and self-level like standard epoxy or paint would. Under standing water, the orange peel texture is a perfect scaffolding for algae, bacteria, and general bio scum

With Martha Hayden retiring after 47 years, we labeled the group picture of the May, 1996 joint meeting of WAVP and UFOP in Vernal, Utah. Certainly a unique grouping of Utah's Paleontologists from this century. Three Utah State Paleontologists and representives from every museum in the area.
