To our dismay, the artist and author Marjane Satrapi has passed away.

As she wrote, ordinary Americans and Iranians have more in common with each other than we do with either of our governments, which have far too much in common with each other.

In the wild, researchers have found that most wolf packs are simply families, led by a breeding pair, and bloody duels for supremacy are rare.

We practically live on our phones these days. Scrolling and scrolling, endlessly. Entrepreneur Aza Raskin is responsible for creating this infinite scroll. He also testified against Meta, who have been under fire — and in court — charged with making their apps addictive to children

While everyone is looking for the next rare-earth metal to build batteries, Finland is just looking at the beach. Polar Night Energy has developed a "sand battery" that stores renewable energy in giant silos filled with—you guessed it—sand.

It’s elegantly simple: excess wind and solar power heat the sand up to 600°C. That sand can hold that heat for months. It doesn't turn it back into electricity (which is inefficient); it pumps that heat directly into the homes of entire communities during the brutal Finnish winter.

Especially beach sand which seems like an unlimited ressource but is not. You need a shitload of sand to build a skyscraper (bad), and highway (bad), a tunnel for metro (still bad ?), a high speed rail (good ?)

Just googled the first link I found but it' has been a huge issue for years https://thenaturenetwork.co.uk/were-running-out-of-sand-and-thats-way-more-dangerous-than-it-sounds/

Maybe that's a good solution for Finland and their very low density of population and endless sun in summer but sand can not be the solution.

Can you be fat but in fashionable way that doesn't cause any discomfort to me ?
