Great secrecy surrounded uranium mining in the Soviet Union. Yet the impact of the resulting contamination is indelible in the memories of the locals who experienced it https://t.co/tTptPX02Y5

FT asks: "Can Europe’s economy ever hope to rival the US again?"

A reminder that once you strip out population and dollar strength (which doesn't impact living standards in Europe), countries in the EU are *converging* with the US, not falling behind. https://t.co/HJ2Qyb2tqo

1/ Europe doesn't have a tech industry. But why is that the case? The short answer: it's not because of regulation.

You think housing prices will keep going up because you've seen it all your life. But this is a historic anomaly that is likely to reverse soon: Prices might start shrinking in many places.

The Doppler effect is named after Austrian mathematician Christan Doppler, who died aged 49 in Venice falling from the top of the Bell tower of San Marco. One of his students, also present, thought his scream sounded funny and worked out the pitch thing and named it in his honor.

Historical: regular flights from Nukus to Muynak will start to fly from the 1st of April. 3 days a week: Mon, Fri, Sun. Czech propeller planes LET 410. 10$ in one way, 20$ both ways. Already available at https://t.co/81xcansRaC. Should be a very spectacular flight!

Somehow, a guy named "Pope" is keeping tabs on who's lying about attending church, using cell phone data.

What a world we live in...

[Philipp Heimberger @heimbergecon]

There are large differences in how much people claim they go to church and how much they actually do:

In surveys, 1 in 5 Americans say they go to church.

But data from cell phone trackers suggest it's actually 1 in 20 Americans.

@Valen10Francois ...🇺🇸 emits 3x more CO₂ per capita than 🇫🇷 or the 🌍 as a whole ⬇️

Time is running out: switching to smaller cars is just a tiny price to pay

[Jules Hugot @JulesHugot]

@Valen10Francois Surprisingly, most comments are about how "cool" it is to drive a truck in the🇺🇸 emitting 2x more than the most sold 🚗 in 🇫🇷

It takes everyone to chip in to address climate change, starting with the biggest polluters

🇺🇸 friends: small cars are just fine. You'll get used to it.
