Random funny/fascinating/cool/odd stuff: Wireless electricity may be closer than we think (5 Viewers)

Gas industry did a wonderful job convincing us that "natural" gas was a good solution. If they called it methane cooking, well, that doesn't have quite the same ring to it.

With induction becoming more and more prevalent, gas stoves in homes will slowly go away anyway.

How ridiculous that people's response to "this appliance causes millions of children to develop asthma - maybe we should think about not having these around" is "GTFO nobody tells me what to do!"

Big Gas imo

Let’s be real. Nobody was ever banning gas stoves completely out of the blue.

Is there a giant fan just off camera to the lower right of the frame? The 2 shots around the 20 s mark seem to curve in a way they shouldn't

Took a few looks and it does curve but with a ton of backspin which acts like the way a knuckleball soccer ball curves.
See video.

When I was little, my dad and I came upon a young whitetail buck (a spike with just 2 little nubs) that had gotten his head stuck in a fence. The wire went past the horns and he was too big to go through it forward and the wire behind the horns kept him from backing out. We had just seen a group of deer and assumed that he was probably a part of that because it didn't look like he had been there long. We were able to pry the wire apart far enough and kind of pull on his head to get the horns lose and off he went. Great memory.

YLE weighs in on the gas stove debate (with guest expert):

Gas stoves culture war. Is there a public health component worth discussing?

For this post I partnered with Dr. Jon Levy, Professor and Chair of Environmental Health at Boston University School of Public Health, who has been working on this topic for decades. Also special thanks to Luis Melecio-Zambrano—a science journalist and student—who helped me “translate” the...

Mini creatures with mighty voices know their audience and focus on a single frequency

From insects to birds to bats to frogs, these little loudmouths have found ingenious ways to deliver their messages at high volume.
theconversation.com theconversation.com

In the cloud forests of South America, amid the constant cacophony of bird and insect noise, a deafening blare pierces through the background from time to time. Belonging to the loudest known bird, the white bellbird, Procnias albus, this sound would be painful to humans listening nearby and capable of causing immediate hearing damage from about a yard away.​

Woodpeckers stuff 700 pounds of acorns in the chimney of a house.

A technician called to investigate maggots coming out of the wall cut into a wall of the chimney stack and out poured acorns that had piled as high as 25 feet high inside the two-story structure.

“Came across this on a job. Bird was a bit of a hoarder,” was the Facebook post by Nick Castro,who owns the pest control business. “Filled up about 8 garbage bags full of acorns weighing in about 700 lbs. Unreal never came across something like this.”

Apparently the woodpeckers have been at this awhile, and there's a group of them doing it.

In this case, it appeared that the woodpeckers, who had initially tried storing their nuts in the house’s wood siding until a previous owner wrapped the house in vinyl, began stacking them inside the chimney, Castro told the Press Democrat. Because the nuts kept falling into a wall cavity, the birds couldn’t access them. So they kept filling the gap with more and more acorns. “Bird was a bit of a hoarder,” he wrote on Facebook. “Never came across something like this.”

Generations of woodpeckers can take up to 100 years to perforate large trees with 50,000 acorn cubby-holes, said Brierly. The birds form polyamorous families with up to seven males and four females, who are joined by other relatives that help them raise their young.

Sometimes staging spectacular battles, these families defend their granaries in oak forests across coastal Oregon, California and Mexico. “Of course these are acorn woodpeckers,” Brierly said. “So their entire ecosystem, life history and way of living revolves around acorns.”
