hmmm. Correlation is tricky. Does education have that effect, or are those with the patience to succeed academically different to start?

One of my 2 daughters is getting married today. It’s a happy occasion obviously, but it makes me realize my time on this planet is winding down.
That means it’s time to kick in the jams & start doing stuff. Volunteer, get involved, see as many concerts as possible & try to do some good.

This is wild! "Dark" oxygen produced at the bottom of the ocean, possibly by natural electrolysis associated with the polymetallic nodules that are the major target for deep sea mining.

So crazy that for years, the scientists who discovered this refused to believe their sensors were working properly.

You must know that mining manganese nodules was just a convenient cover story for the construction of the Hughes Glomar Explorer and the HMB-1 "mining barge" the CIA built in the early 70s to raise the sunken Soviet nuclear missile submarine K-129 and get at its code books? Right?

Second photo is a series of mobile phones from the 1980s to the present, becoming increasingly small and compact. Caption says: 40 years difference.
