New Tech, reading research, always trying to learn.
There is no greater education than one that is self-driven.

The Pacific Northwest is ripe for a major earthquake — and shaking and tsunamis wouldn’t be the only threats from such an event, according to new research.

Apparently, for the current Administration, people who use illicit drugs "lead lives not worth living."
There are few things as cost effective as Narcan, especially in a country where (entirely preventable) opioid overdoses have been a leading cause of death for years. For every 6 kits distributed 1 OD is prevented. The $56M in this grant trained >66K people and distributed >282,500 kits in 2024 alone

Dual use prevalence has increased but there's been a shift away from more frequent smoking toward more frequent vaping.

To acquire this ultra-detailed image, Andrew McCarthy used an astrophotography technique known as "lucky imaging," which involves taking quick bursts of maybe thousands of photos and stacking the best ones on top of each other to form a single image.
