Yesterday was the third time this year that an ad stating Chelsea Clinton lives in a beautiful Virginia home popped up on my laptop. My computer did not warn me this was a dangerous site, so this time, I clicked on the link.

Severe thunderstorms are expected across parts of the Northern Plains, particularly in South Dakota, Nebraska, and Minnesota, from the afternoon into the evening. The main risk with these storms will be damaging winds, large hail, and isolated tornadoes if ingredients align. Please check below for further details.

It’s not humans. How a survivor of a super-extinction repopulated our planet. There are more than 8 billion humans alive at this moment on Earth (unless something has gone horribly wrong). But humans aren’t the only dominant mammals.

The DemoSATH floating offshore wind turbine has been operational off the Basque coast since September 2023 and is providing first-hand insights into the challenges of operating floating wind turbines on the open sea. Now, Spanish engineering firm Saitec Offshore Technologies and global offshore wind player RWE have launched the "DemoSATH Lab" initiative to carry out further environmental monitoring studies around the demonstrator. The DemoSATH Lab research will study the platform's interactions with the environment focusing on the possible impact on birds, the emission of underwater noise and the interactions of marine life with the structure. The program will last until at least the end of 2025 in order to span multiple seasons and weather conditions.

There is quite a bit of discussion, and perhaps even some folklore, around whether to use “grounded” or ”floating” power supplies in instrumentation, data acquisition, and control systems. The choice to ground or float a power supply is sometimes clearly stated in the National Electric Code (NEC), but in other cases, it is left to the engineer's discretion.

A portable power station should be an essential in every home. Whether you live in a hurricane-prone area, like to go out camping or venture out during off-grid travels, you always want to make sure you have some sort of power source in case of any emergencies. It can help keep all your devices powered, even if the electricity is out. We love generators from EcoFlow and right now, the company is having a huge Home Backup Sale. You can save up to $2,799 on a wide variety of generators and even bundles. But hurry, this sale ends tomorrow, so grab what you need now.

A dangerous drug that is being mixed into fentanyl is causing those who inject it to develop a rash of sores that resembles a case of flesh-eating bacteria. People experiencing homelessness around Denver can sometimes be seen with these bloody, weeping wounds. I recently mentioned this phenomenon to a fentanyl user who told me about the xylazine connection.
