MonkderDritte, in Free contraception helps Finland reduce teenage abortions by 66%

1 instead of 3?

NeoNachtwaechter, in A veteran came out as gay in his obituary. Now, his family is praising his final 'salute'

But this is not going to lift him up again.

It might if enough people believe hard enough.

This makes me genuinely happy. Not much uplifting news actually uplifts me these days. This is one of the rare headlines that does.

cyborganism, in Morocco: Harnessing forgotten crops to combat global hunger and climate change | Africanews

They should be doing this everywhere.

If you think this is a good idea sent it on to your local politician

They couldn’t have made it 69%?!

They’ll get there.

Lawnman23,

Nice.

Big_Boss_77, in Startup creates Lego-like brick that can store air pollution for centuries
Treczoks, in Startup creates Lego-like brick that can store air pollution for centuries

I fail to see where those bricks are “LEGO like” in any way. They are rough bricks, not even sufficiently molded to appear regular.

threelonmusketeers,

Good point. Where are the studs? How is the clutch power? Are the tolerances on par with existing Lego bricks?

Treczoks,

From the picture I’d say that you won’t need a caliper to see that their tolerances are nearly as large as the bricks themselves…

Etterra, in Startup creates Lego-like brick that can store air pollution for centuries

The problem isn’t the inability to make something to do the job, but making it something that you can convince people they’ll make a profit from. Nobody wants to clean up pollution unless you either force them to do it or make it profitable.

Spacehooks, in Voyager 1 returning science data again

I’m sure it wasn’t aliens :: x files music ::

That’s what I thought too, until I read

The announcement that Voyager 1’s instruments were returning data again came two days after JPL announced the passing of Ed Stone, who served as Voyager’s project scientist from the mission’s inception in 1972 until 2022.

And realized it was the ghost of Ed Stone.

Spacehooks,

That makes more sense. He just flipped the bit while he was on his way.

Headline implicates that it was returning non-science data so far lol

cucumber_sandwich,

It was sending memory images of its RAM. So that’s not wrong.

lauha,

Cat images

NeptuneOrbit,

since November 2023, when a computer malfunction on board the spacecraft caused it to return garbled data.

fckreddit, in Startup creates Lego-like brick that can store air pollution for centuries

Yeah, I am skeptical. What would be the energy expenditure of actually storing CO2 into those blocks and what about transporting them? I have a feeling this is like carbon capture plants, great for the headlines, but not really a practical solution.

MinusPi, in Free contraception helps Finland reduce teenage abortions by 66%

Gee, who would’ve guessed.

SoGrumpy, in In Vermont, a Glimpse of a Plant Last Seen a Century Ago, Now Rediscovered - The New York Times (Paywall removed)

If I understand the article correctly, this is about plants extinct in the area of Vermont only.

I believe so, but nice to see them slowly coming back. Perhaps they never went extinct, but were thought to be extinct because they were exceedingly rare.

ieightpi, in Voyager 1 returning science data again

I thought i thought this was solved weeks ago?

Scirocco,

They figured out how to resolve it weeks ago.

It has taken this long to implement the results, and to get usable data flowing again

mkwt,

They’re basically rewriting the software, and if it goes horribly wrong, the probe will just stop talking forever. So no one was in a big rush to push this into production.
