Anthony Bourdain died on this day eight years ago and him describing Waffle House is still the single-most important description of America that has ever been articulated.
Yeah it’s a missed call, a flagrant 1 and all that. But every Wemby incident from the Naz elbow, to the Dort shove, to this has been Wemby letting opponents know if you try to play him too physically you might get hit with the Shaolin fists of fury and I honestly gotta respect it
99.5% of Mars has been mapped at 5 meters per pixel. We've had a complete high-resolution mosaic of a planet 225 million kilometers away since 2023.
28.7% of Earth's own ocean floor has been mapped. As of last month.
That camera is falling into what is functionally terra incognita. Miyakojima sits on Ryukyu limestone riddled with hundreds of underwater caves and vertical shafts, some dropping 70 meters through formations older than modern humans. Most have never been surveyed. We know the topography of Olympus Mons better than we know what's 50 meters under a Japanese tourist island.
The reason is physics. Electromagnetic radiation travels fine through a vacuum, so a satellite can photograph Mars from orbit. Radio waves die within meters of entering seawater. Mapping the ocean floor requires dragging sonar equipment across it on ships, line by line, like mowing a lawn the size of 360 million square kilometers. The Seabed 2030 project started at 6% mapped in 2017. Nine years later, they're under 30%.
Over 700 people have been to space. Roughly 27 have reached the bottom of the Mariana Trench. The deepest point on our own planet has had fewer visitors than the Moon.
The ocean is right there. That's the problem. We assumed we could get to it whenever we wanted, so we pointed the telescopes outward instead. And every few months a diving instructor drops a GoPro into a hole and the internet loses its mind because the footage looks like another planet.
Same planet. We just haven't looked yet.
Dunking on the player who raised the MVP you wanted right in front of you and your biggest rival since you were 16 at the same time.
This is the greatest picture of all time.
This is not a criticism of Sip but a general observation. There should not be anymore talk about Ohio State and Oregon. Focus on catching Minnesota, Iowa and Illinois first.
This is where I disagree with the right. Comedy is subjective. It’s either all allowed or nothing is allowed. Dark humor isn’t everybody’s cup of tea. You can’t laugh at George Floyd jokes and be mad over Charlie Kirk jokes.
My philosophy when playing Arc raiders was to play as much as I could at release and enjoy it before it got incredibly sweaty and unfun.
I am glad I made that decision and I am also glad I have not launched the game in 5 months
Without a doubt, our best trail camera capture yet: the first documented observation of a cougar with kittens in Minnesota in modern history. Turn up the volume to hear all the vocalizations.
The footage, which was captured on March 25, shows a cougar with 3 large kittens while they feed on a deer they killed just south of Voyageurs National Park.
We captured this surreal footage because we started a study to understand the survival and mortality patterns of deer in our area this winter. As part of that work, we GPS-collared several deer in the area in January.
In late March, we received a mortality signal from a GPS-collared deer and found the carcass buried under a pile of leaves on a hillside—a tell tale sign of feline predation.
We suspected it was likely a bobcat but thought, just possibly, it could be a cougar. So we put up two trail cameras on the cached deer carcass and 4 hours later, two cougar kittens returned to the kill.
The entire family showed up that evening and spent hours in front of our cameras. In total, we captured 7.3 hr (435 minutes) of video footage of these animals. We will share more footage soon!
Huge thanks to the Minnesota Environment and Natural Resources Trust Fund for supporting the Voyageurs Wolf Project and the recent effort to understand deer survival in the area. Their support was critical to this observation—without it, we would never have captured this footage.
And huge thanks to the >10,600 donors who have supported our project and enabled us to purchase trail cameras supplies. The cameras (and batteries, SD cards, mounts) we set at this kill were purchased with funds from donations.
