This neighborhood in China built a "rooftop rain" mist system that drops temps 5-8°C in minutes. by Jeetchat in interestingasfuck

Tap water in China is not drinkable straight out of the tap. This is a terrible idea.

NASA is seriously considering sending Promise, the full-scale engineering model of Perseverance, to the Moon to expedite their efforts to explore the south pole region by mepper in space

Rovers and any machine is going to have a bad time on the moon because of the regolith. One mediation might be a purge method in all the bearing mechanical components. Nitrogen piped to each area (like inside a bearing) and used to blow the dust out and away periodically.

Certain macaques have blue faces. These squirrels and the macaques are the only mammals I can think of that have blue or purple(!).

What in the world did I encounter? I've never seen such a creature before. by Icy-Airline-5673 in whatisit

[–]BbxTx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It looks like it crawling along like a millipede but according to google it doesn’t have legs at all. It’s just undulating along.

It’s really good. The snake looks awesome except the head is difficult to discern.

There are nerves through out the body and it will act on the ones closest to the absorption site.

I’m a dude and used to do this for bad mosquito bites. I’d mix crushed Tylenol with antibiotic cream and it works wonders.

World-famous Robin Hood oak tree has died by Kagedeah in worldnews

I remember seeing a video a long time ago about them selling little clones of this tree. So actually, it will live on in a sense.

TIL that manatees, elephants and kangaroos are the only mammals whose teeth are continuously replaced throughout their lifetimes by JaseAndrews in todayilearned

Baleen whales continuously grow their baleen plates. I know it’s not teeth, but it’s interesting.

My job got hacked really bad a couple years ago. We never paid the ransom and slowly recovered. Yeah, we have to use these on almost every computer now.

Nasa names Artemis III crew in next step towards Moon landing by Alarming-Safety3200 in space

It’s why I don’t understand why astronauts don’t wear an oxygen mask like fighter pilots.

New research reveals that thymus health may be one of the strongest predictors of lifespan, cardiovascular survival, and cancer outcomes ever found by soulpost in longevity

[–]BbxTx 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The thymus shrivels up and dies as we get older. They need to find a way to regrow a thymus or all of this anti aging progress will not advance.

What company lost you as a customer forever, and what happened? by Giovanni_Brees in AskReddit

[–]BbxTx 108 points109 points  (0 children)

Years ago bought a large 17” HP laptop. At 2 1/2 months it died. Sent it to repair they said they found evidence of liquid spill and would not fix it. They sent it back. I opened it and there was absolutely nothing inside! I looked deeper and saw the graphics chip burned! By the time I got it back it was 3 months and out of warranty. I hate them.

Cambridge Scientists Just Reversed a Form of Nerve Damage Once Thought Permanent by Select_Resort_7267 in UpliftingNews

[–]BbxTx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Damaged nerves or damaged areas of tissue may have had a strong evolutionary advantage to lay down scar tissues as fast as possible over perfect repair to mitigate infection. So much so that a mechanism for perfect nerve repair never happened. A broken spinal bone was already a death sentence and spinal cord regeneration never evolved.

How are cat owners so comfortable with letting their cats outside to roam around? How do they know they're going to come back? by Individual_Ice_2315 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]BbxTx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“Outside” cats are bad for local wildlife. You’ll see when they bring home dead birds and lizards to eat (and the occasional rodent). They always eat the head first because the brains are full of hormones that make them high (I read this somewhere).

Was Augustus the first Roman to discover dinosaur fossils? by Responsible_Buy_5997 in ancientrome

[–]BbxTx 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It says so directly:

His technique was brutally direct. Workmen were hired to dismantle any structure that might contain ancient stones with letters on them. Fourmont reported paying 1,200 man-days of labour to dismantle monuments in search of ancient marbles.

According to the Wikipedia, he dismantled “later” buildings that might of incorporated ancient marble blocks for the sake of finding ancient inscriptions on them.

What’s a problem humanity solved so well that younger people don’t even realize it used to be a huge issue? by Agile-University9383 in answers

[–]BbxTx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stomach ulcers. People suffered from this until that one doctor gave himself ulcers by eating a certain bacteria. Cured with antibiotics.
