The engineering behind Real Madrid’s Santiago Bernabéu pitch system is insane.

The natural grass retracts into a 30-meter underground greenhouse to stay fresh while the stadium hosts concerts.

Workers at the Bank took a few hours to set up the large, heavy interlocking panels (some weighing over 200 pounds) and fit them together like a giant puzzle.

Now, the high-quality maple hardwood floor for the first two games of NBA Finals in San Antonio is ready.

The Spurs have the ball down 98-88

• Refs miss a goaltending call
• Ball goes off Chet’s foot
• They ignore the coach’s challenge request
• SGA gets free throws
• Mitch Johnson is hit with a tech
• Lu Dort and Tony Brothers laughing on the sideline

Us fans deserve better than this smh

@CoachAmyJustice @NBA How about that absolute phantom foul on Champagnie when he clearly blocked the ball too?

[Football Tweet ⚽ @Footballtweet]

It's the 90th minute, the score is 1-1. Your team is down to 10 men, and you pull off this absolute BELTER to beat Manchester United.

William Osula, dream come true. 🚬

BREAKING - New video obtained by the BBC shows Alex Petti armed, spitting on federal agents, and kicking out a taillight one week before the CBP incident that claimed his life.

California's Central Valley produces 80% of the world's almonds. Each almond requires 3.2 gallons of actual irrigation water to grow. Not rainfall. Actual tap water pumped from aquifers.

One gallon of almond milk requires 162 gallons of irrigation water. Compare that to dairy milk at 8 gallons of tap water per gallon, with the rest being rainfall that falls on pasture anyway.

But here's where it gets properly grim. Almonds bloom for exactly three weeks in February. During those three weeks, California needs every pollinating bee in North America transported to the Central Valley or the crop fails entirely.

Commercial beekeepers truck in 31 billion honeybees. That's two-thirds of America's entire managed bee population, all concentrated in one valley for three weeks. The bees are packed into trucks, driven across the country, dumped into almond groves drenched in pesticides, worked to exhaustion, then packed up and shipped to the next crop.

The mortality rate is catastrophic. Beekeepers report losing 30 to 50% of their hives annually. That's billions of bees dead. Not from natural causes. From being used as disposable pollination machines for your almond milk.

The pesticides don't help. Almond groves are sprayed with neonicotinoids which scramble bee navigation systems, fungicides which weaken their immune systems, and herbicides which eliminate the wildflowers they'd normally forage on between almond blooms.

Meanwhile the aquifer depletion is permanent. The Central Valley has sunk 28 feet in some areas from groundwater extraction. That water took 10,000 years to accumulate. It's being drained in decades for almond milk.

Your vegan latte killed more bees and used more water than a year's worth of dairy milk. But it's got "plant-based" on the label so you're definitely saving the planet.
