The Mormon Church is being fined 5 million because it hid a 32 billion dollar investment fund. This was not accidental. The SEC proved that both the investment firm and church went to great lengths to knowingly hide these assets. For the folks playing along at home, that’s a fine of 0.016% on the investment. Imagine lying on your taxes and you hid an extra $100K offshore and the IRS said “No sweat, pay us $15.63.” If there are no other repercussions, that’s not a fine, that’s encouragement.

These little guys are called the "Leaf Sheep". They have the face of a cow or sheep, but a back that looks like a house plant. These animals can photosynthesize, are only about 5 mm long, and can be found in shallow marine waters in #Japan, #Indonesia, and the #Philippines. They are like farm animals, act like a plant, and live in the sea! Credit Image: via the Beauty of Planet Earth

“we analyzed simultaneous recordings of more than 10,000 pyramidal neurons during 1–2 hr in visual cortex of awake mice (seven mice, nine recordings, recording duration 1.52 ± 0.51 hr), performed and first reported by Stringer et al., 2019.”

Now that’s a data set that keeps on giving! Outstanding.

Before his 1962 orbital flight, John Glenn was wary of trusting his life to a machine's trajectory calculations and asked that Katherine Johnson check them. #BHM

"Productivity jumped as offices closed, and stayed high through 2021. When companies started mandating a return to the office, productivity dropped sharply."

The return to the office could be the real reason for the slump in productivity. Here’s the data to prove it | Fortune

💥 Roof top solar grows by a whopping 114% in the UK in 2022.

Highest number of installations reported by MCS since 2015 when subsidies were cut by 65%.

High energy prices and cost reductions in solar modules have driven up demand since.

I just discovered this video from
Transport Canada related to #DroneSafety. Every single statement about how privacy laws apply to recreational pilots is incorrect. Every. Single. One. I think I'll have to do my own video on privacy law and recreational UAV pilots. https://youtu.be/bfA5kKh4K1E

Life is way too fucking short to worry about that one person you feel like you have to walk on eggshells around. They’re not your friend. They’re a narcissist who gets what they want from people through manipulation and fear. You don’t need their approval.

Wow. WaPo digs into why the South has the lowest credit scores in the country (adding to individual consumers' borrowing costs, freezing then out of credit at all). The answer: Medical debt. Because the South didn't expand Medicaid.

The real story behind all those UFOs the Air Force was shooting down last week is quite embarrassing.

I’m guessing someone at NORAD has now figured out why the sensitivity settings on the radar was turned down in the first place.
