Instead of firing John Tortorella, the Flyers should have just told him he can't be on the bench, send him to the press box and refuse to tell him why or what he could do to change things.

Wired: jailbreaking your license plate
NEW: A security researcher has shown how digital license plates can be hacked to enable a less benign feature than adding novelty message to plates and reporting a car missing: a jailbreak that can alter a car's plate number to avoid traffic tickets and tolls—or even pin them on someone else.
Hackers Can Jailbreak Digital License Plates to Make Others Pay Their Tolls and Tickets
Digital license plates sold by Reviver, already legal to buy in some states and drive with nationwide, can be hacked by their owners to evade traffic regulations or even law enforcement surveillance.

Love this type of stuff! Nasal-delivered vaccines for Covid should have been a "thing" long ago. From what I've read, the theory goe that nasal vaccines will actually prevent transmission rather than just lessen severity once infected. But not needing cold storage is big too!
THIS IS HUGE! Researchers at TAU and the University of Lisbon have developed a groundbreaking nano-vaccine against COVID-19, delivered via nasal spray WITHOUT requiring cold storage. Preclincial studies show the vaccine was effective against ALL major SARS-CoV-2 variants. Let’s talk about that! 🧪🧵⬇️

Target opens at 6am and they're selling a limited number of Taylir Swift books. At 4:11am a fascinating development... there are a number of us here. In our cars. It's cold out. Nobody really wants to be the first in line. How soon before someone cracks and leaves the warmth of their car? 🤔
