@giveashitnature @FortWayneTrails maybe we should put up owl boxes to mimimize the ticks that are easy for dogs to pick up as they are being walked

If you're worried about ticks, put up an owl box. The animal driving most Lyme disease in the eastern US is the white-footed mouse. Ticks that feed on them are far more likely to come away infected than ticks that feed on other animals. The bigger the local mouse population, the worse the next year's tick year. A single barred owl pair raising chicks can take hundreds of rodents in a breeding season. Owls also don't carry Lyme. The bacterium can't survive their digestive tract, so an owl that eats an infected mouse is a dead end for the disease. Researchers at the Cary Institute, the leading lab on Lyme ecology, have been explicit about this: "Landscapes that support predators have reduced Lyme disease risk." One owl box on its own isn't going to fix a tick year. But a yard with owls, foxes, bobcats, and weasels in it has fewer mice, and a yard with fewer mice has fewer infected ticks. If you have woods or fields nearby, a properly sized barn owl or screech owl box (different species, different boxes) is one of the most useful single things you can do for tick exposure at the landscape scale. Match the box to the owl that lives near you. The mouse is the problem, owls are the solution.

@GeekVibesNation The one on the box is my grandson’s favorite. Look forward to assembling this with him

Formula E bambaşka bir forma dönüşüyor. Gen 4 araçlarla araç gücü 800 beygire çıkarken, 0-100 hızlanması 2 saniyenin altına, 0-200 hızlanması 4.5 saniyenin altına iniyor ve İLK DEFA resmi bir Formula yarışında araçlar 4 çeker oluyor. İki kez Monako şampiyonu olan David Coulthard bu videoda bir Gen 4 aracı Monako'da sürüyor ve "daha önce böyle bir hızlanma deneyimlemedim" diyor.

Le nouveau moteur de SpaceX (qui a volé samedi) fait quelque chose d'absolument génial et vous vous rendez pas compte à quel point 👇 Il se refroidit avec son propre carburant. Le méthane est stocké à environ -160°C. Avant d'être brûlé, il circule dans des micro-canaux gravés DANS les parois du moteur, qui traversent les pièces les plus chaudes. Il refroidit le métal, se réchauffe au passage, et arrive préchauffé dans la chambre de combustion. Le carburant fait le boulot du bouclier thermique. Ça s'appelle le refroidissement régénératif. Mais attendez, c'est là que ça devient dingue 👇 Dans la chambre de combustion, on est à ~3500°C et 330 bars de pression. C'est plus chaud que le point de fusion de quasiment tous les métaux utilisables en pratique pour une fusée. L'acier fond à 1500°C. Le cuivre à 1080°C. La paroi du moteur devrait fondre instantanément. Elle fond pas. Parce que le méthane cryogénique qui passe de l'autre côté à quelques millimètres extrait la chaleur assez vite pour maintenir le métal en dessous de son point de fusion. C'est un équilibre thermique permanent entre l'enfer et le cryogénique, séparés par quelques mm de métal. À chaque seconde de vol. Sur le Raptor 3, SpaceX a poussé ce principe encore plus loin : ils ont internalisé les circuits secondaires (igniteurs, purges, etc.) DANS les parois régénérativement refroidies. Plus rien ne dépasse. Plus besoin de bouclier thermique externe. Plus besoin de système anti-incendie au CO₂. Plus besoin de capteurs externes. Pour les devs, parce que ce principe se transpose directement: La plupart du temps, quand on a un problème on AJOUTE quelque chose. Un retry. Un circuit breaker. Un cache. Un monitoring. Une queue. Un service pour gérer le service qui gère le problème… C'est l'équivalent du bouclier thermique : tu mets une couche de protection AUTOUR du problème. L'ingénierie type Raptor 3, c'est l'inverse : tu repenses la primitive de base pour que le problème n'EXISTE plus. Et d'un coup, toutes les couches de protection que tu avais autour deviennent inutiles. Tu les supprimes. Le système devient plus simple ET plus performant. L'ingénierie la plus élégante, c'est rarement ce qu'on ajoute. C'est tout ce qu'on arrive à enlever 🚀

@staleshare @TimmyKal12 My first time was in 1979 as part of the Purdue Marching Band. Our seats were inside of turn 3. Might as well be drunk because the cars flash by so fast you can’t read the numbers!

@TimmyKal12 Walk through party row along the infield of turn 3 for free cornhole, beer, and the best views of hammered Hoosiers/snakepit survivors

This weekend will be my first time attending the greatest spectacle in racing Been a huge bucket list item for me. Any advice for a first timer?

@TimmyKal12 Enjoy the slow caution times. Not the yellow flags on the track, the hours of traffic outside the track.

World Cup for world class football! #FIFA
