Let me be clear. If the state of Washington ever asked me the question:
Permanent DST or switch back and forth?
I would eagerly select "No more switching boneheads".
But I would also be emailing the state legislature asking why on earth they ended up with this boneheaded choice, when the obvious, correct, answer was right there all along: Just abolish DST.

Fentanyl or phony? Machine learning algorithm learns to pick out opioid signatures
New forms of fentanyl are created every day. For law enforcement, that poses a challenge: How do you identify a chemical you've never seen before? Researchers at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) aim to answer that question with a machine learning model that can distinguish opioids from other chemicals with an accuracy over 95% in a laboratory setting.

"Labour has taken a blow. But Reform UK has been shown up. When tested, their movement offers nothing but grievance, paranoia and imported culture-war nonsense. No answers. No humility. Just blame. And this is why Farage’s behaviour matters beyond one by-election."

'Stop looking back in anger, Nige. Manchester rejects Trumpism'
Nigel Farage wraps himself in the Union flag, but the moment voters rejected him, he ditched British values and reached straight for Donald Trump’s playbook - cry cheating and trash the result

Sugarcane hits the sweet spot for sustainable carbon

I love that so many Americans turned out to not just protest policies that hit personally,
but to rally in support of democracy writ large.
For many, it was their first time taking this kind of action,
and they were doing it in a way that expressed optimism and possibility rather than giving in to anger or despair

Being physically fit may keep you calm under pressure
Regular exercise is not only good for the body, but it may also help you stay cool under pressure. Research published in the journal Acta Psychologica found that higher cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) is associated with lower anxiety and anger and greater emotional resilience.

Detailed map reveals groundwater levels across the U.S.
How much fresh water is in the United States? It's a tough question, since most of the water is underground, accessible at varying depths. In previous decades, it's been answered indirectly from data on rainfall and evaporation. Knowing how much groundwater is available at specific locations is critical to meeting the challenges of water scarcity and contamination.
