Hardly new info, but BSky should know:

Warsaw's water quality is monitored by eight clams with magnets attached to their shells. If contamination in the water causes the clams to close, the magnets trigger an alarm and shut off the city's water supply.
Thank you, little guardian molluscs.

The FTC issued long-awaited rules requiring companies to display the full price of a hotel room, concert ticket or sporting event up front to customers, rather than hiding any extra charges — often called “junk fees” — until the very end of the checkout process.

I am a practicing ER doctor in California. I am deeply concerned about the Republican Party’s extreme politicization of COVID19. Their 2024 platform is anti-vaccine.

This is not just an attack on science, it undermines our shared objective reality. I honestly never imagined it could get this bad.

At almost 102 years old, Paul Snyder believes the secret to successful aging is making new friends.

He befriends people wherever he goes: the grocery store, the doctors’ office, church, the nail salon. Most people in his neighborhood call him “Grandpa Paul.”
At 101, his secret to happiness? Making new friends.
“At 101, most of your close friends have gone by,” says Paul Snyder, who lives in Kensington, Md. “But you can keep making new ones.”
