Theres a wind turbine being built in the forests of Sweden or should I sayfromthe forests. A 2-megawatt turbine made by Danish wind giant Vestas will be mounted atop the wooden tower. Once the rig gets up and running it could poweraround500 homes. The towers are made from laminated veneer lumber, produced by glueing several massive layers of wood together. The startup says the material has a higher strength per weight than steel....
Welcome back to you’re weekly episode of Dumping Them Out. I give a shot to not repeat GIFs too often, but it’s inevitable. I can’t remember which Boob GIFs I’ve already used and which ones I haven’t. They all just blur together at this point. To be honest, I’ve been a little unsatisfied with their quality the last couple of Sundays. Pixel wise that is. That would be inappropriate to say....
Shit makes no sense to me. It’s like they’re all being held hostage. Here are 50 of them: 1. Retire somewhere pleasant like Florida, South Carolina, Southern California, etc. Maybe on one of the Virgin Islands. Retire somewhere unpleasant like Detroit, Canada, North Korea etc. Work at Barstool Sports. Retiring with a job at Barstool would be so fun. Be a homeless crack addict who sits outside of the Barstool Sports office....
Barstool Sports top blogger Karim (last name?) has already done that plenty. If you don’t know by now, then you probably don’t give a shit. And if you don’t want to read about him again, then stop reading now. I’ve already got your click. Or who Karim is. Or who I am. But that doesn’t get you 33 up-votes in the comment section. Trust me, I understand how much 33 up-votes in the comment section can make your day....
The rapid rise ofAIhas evoked mixed feelings to say the least. Some experts champion it as a force for good, while others forewarn it poses a risk of extinction. Respondents are also excited about AIs integration into healthcare diagnostics, road assistance, and flight and hotel recommendations. However, the vast majority of the European consumers surveyed believe that society isnt ready yet for AI. Behind the hesitation lie concerns over the spread of misinformation, child protection, and personal data privacy....
Flight times of nearly an hour, say, rather than 34 minutes. Fixed wing and multi-rotor drones are just the beginning. The battery industry is moving fast, Aanhane says. Leydenjarsbatteryuses a silicon, rather than graphite anode. This component, also known as the negative electrode, is where negatively charged particles called ions lose electrons. The electrons then travel through an electrical circuit, providing current. It’s free, every week, in your inbox. With research and development racing ahead, especially in countries such as China, theres no time to lose....
AI image generatorscould undermine upcoming elections in the worlds biggest democracies, according to new research. Each of these countries will soon go to the ballot box.

Scientists have developed tiny robotic tentacles that travel into the lungs to detect and treat cancer. The deviceis just 2.4 mm in diameter and ultra-soft. After reaching its destination, an embedded laser fibre can deliver localised treatment. The robot was developed at the University of Leeds STORM lab, which tested the system on a cadaver. They found that it can travel 37% deeper than standard equipment, while causing less tissue damage....

Or, maybe everyone will think Im an asshole, which isnt any different from my day to day. Feels like a win-win. But, primarily, I wanted to confirm the boys liked me. Then, and only then, did I feel legitimized. Never once did I question why that was - dudes rock! Guys know whats good! I let myself think that I succeeded a lot of the time. I wanted to win....
And so it begins. We’ve finally reached that nexus point of where Still Summer meets Not Quite Football Season. I think “hero” is too strong a word. But go ahead and use it. You’ll get no argument from me. Some random observations: –Today was the second practice of Camp: 2023. He might as well have introduced a special guest appearance by David Tyree and just finished me altogether. But they were just here for the football practice....
