Smashed records.

do any americans go overseas, ride a bullet train, and think: nah, we don't need this?

Well, well, well! This platform is starting to become quite active with friends. ☺️ Hi, y’all!

An international research team has successfully drilled and retrieved a 9,186-foot-long (2,800-meter-long) ice core from Antarctica that dates back 1.2 million years. The sample extended so deep that it reached the bedrock beneath the Antarctic Ice Sheet.
