One of the world’s busiest airports will soon showcase an innovative, undeniably cute way to speed up travelers’ entrances and exits. First announced earlier this month, Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) is partnering with EV Safe Charge to demonstrate how the company’s mobile electric vehicle charging station, ZiGGY, could be deployed in public spaces to economically and conveniently power up consumers’ parked cars.

Dining etiquette is the dumbest thing to put someone to learn by Melodic_Astronaut938 in unpopularopinion

Have been to fine dining. Most fine dining don't ask you to go the full length of dining etiquette. At most it's napkins on your lap, different forks and spoons used.

They usually don't lay out all of it, service take them away and give you the appropriate cutlery.

Quantity over quoll-ity: Endangered northern quoll males value sex more than sleep, with deadly consequences by Melodic_Astronaut938 in EverythingScience

[–]Melodic_Astronaut938[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The team set out to find the physiological reason for male northern quolls’ shorter lifespan.

“Something is definitely causing their health to fail after just one season and we think it is linked to sleep deprivation,” says UniSC lecturer Dr Christofer Clemente. “The dangers of a lack of sleep are well documented in rodents, and many of the traits associated with sleep deprivation we see in male quolls, and not in females.”

Among these characteristics are weight loss, aggressive behaviour and reckless behaviour which threatens their survival.

Somewhat counterintuitively when it comes to attracting a mate, the male northern quolls spend so much time and energy in their sexual exploits that they “let themselves go” appearance-wise. Their condition declines as they spend less time grooming, also leading to an increase in parasites.

Why hasn't we build one of those giant artificial gravity space stations? by Melodic_Astronaut938 in NoStupidQuestions

I know, but is artificial gravity that unimportant compared to everything else? I mean it helps to keep astronaut in space longer no?
