If wind turbines were the number one bird killer, wouldn't figuring out the best color to paint the blades or other mitigation strategies be worth it?

A small device was demoed to me that could accept an object and report if it had cocaine on it. The officer asked for a dollar, I handed him one, and they put it in. The machine detected cocaine. I was surprised to learn that the powder is

There appears to be a belief that 'poor people' are hopeless maniacs that lack all self-control. It's a disparaging mindset that lures in and compounds addictive behavior. How many full lives aren't lived due to egotisti

This does not apply to the original Snipping Tool (the one that's 'moving...'). New iterations of classic Snipping Tool require more clicks and the implementation is worse too.

After a recent hurricane decimated our area, a battery powered emergency AM radio was, for some time, the only source of information available. Communication resiliency shouldn't be decreased without good reason.
