messal_shale: Messel Shale food web (2014)
A network of feeling links among taxa based on the 48 million years old uppermost early Eocene Messel Shale. Edge property 'certainty' denotes the certainty of the edge. Metadata include evidence, habitat, and trophic roles. The edge direction goes from consumer to resource.
This network has 700 nodes and 6444 edges.

Two wildfires are burning at or near the North Rim, known
as the White Sage Fire
and the Dragon Bravo Fire.
The latter is the one that destroyed the lodge and other structures.
The park initially was managing it as a controlled burn
but then shifted to suppression as it rapidly grew to 7.8 square miles (20 square kilometers) because of hot temperatures,
low humidity and wind, fire officials said.
No injuries have been reported.
Millions of peo…

A historic Grand Canyon lodge has been destroyed by wildfire, park official says
The Grand Canyon Lodge, the only lodging inside the park at the North Rim, was consumed by the flames, park Superintendent Ed Keable told park residents, staff and others in a meeting Sunday morning. He said the visitor center, the gas station, a waste water treatment plant, an administrative building and some employee housing were among the 50 to 80 structures lost.

This is me (playing bass) with my first band ever called Rapa Nui. This was officially our first gig, although the first one happened a few months before this one, in Sarajevo, in front of the then-demolished Youth House.
Back then, I hated melodic punk, feeling the buzz from bands like Motorhead and different extreme metal and grindcore artists.
However, in 2016, I rediscovered an old favorite.
This is a story of how Bad Religion made me start listening to punk rock, an…

How I Started Believing in Bad Religion
For almost a decade, after their song You, made me fall in love with punk rock, I hated the band called Bad Religion. And then they turned out to be one of my favorites ever.

Modelling of Counter-Current Gas-Liquid Annular Flow in a Vertical Annulus
Annular two-phase flow involving upward-moving gas and downward-flowing liquid within a vertical annular geometry is a common configuration in various engineering systems. In such systems, accurately predicting the pressure gradient is essential for understanding flow stability, equipment performance, and system design under counter-current conditions. This paper presents a general mechanistic model to predict the pressure gradient in counter-current annular flow within a vertical annular space…

Great overview by @… of the failing mess that is Mozilla. I've never understood why they took GOOG's funding directly rather than setting up an endowment and spending its earnings, a strategy ~immune to losing future funding from their competitor.
While Mozilla is awful and heading in the wrong direction, I continu…

Firefox is fine. The people running it are not
Opinion: Mozilla's management is a bug, not a feature

It's worth bearing in mind that all AI companies are in that phase where they burn money to attract the most customers and hope that the competition blinks first. That means all AI is pretty badly underpriced.
For coding, that's a problem. It's just on the edge of being arguably positive for some. If the price goes up by an order of ten, the bubble is going to burst. And it may take the other AI use cases with it. After all, coding was kind of a killer app.
