Cats negotiating obstacle courses. It's impressive that they can place their front paws so precisely; what really amazes me, though, is that they can do it with their back paws, when the obstacles are no longer in sight. bit.ly/3pWmUsy

Ford went from <100 electric vehicle ads in 2019 to 1500 in 2021. And Audi now spends more on EV ads than on internal combustion engine car ads. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

We are seeing an increase in relay thefts where thieves boost the signal from an ignition key inside your house to steal the car parked nearby. If you have a keyless entry vehicle please consider extra security such as faraday bags for the keys (BOTH SETS) & steering locks etc. https://t.co/ETMN8ffyrq

*Amazing* detailed data on 3rd shots and vaccines from Alberta.
Essentially: “The hospitalization rate among 3x-vaccinated 80+ year olds is lower than the hospitalization rate among unvaccinated 12-29-year-olds.”
Incredible. Wow.

Get your booster, mkay? Just because the fda slow walked it early doesn't mean you should slow walk it yourself as well.

Yes, But “green” nimbys will still find a way to object.

Remember, kids, geothermal is a much more abundant energy source than nuclear fission, on this planet at least. https://t.co/qwq3HxaoBA
