Try the random practice challenges or the plant challenges for now. They had some seriously weird mollusks, velvet worms and centipedes at times.

It’s actually designed for rain, and adapted for the extreme rains expected with the torrents and downpours resulting from climate change. It looks nice upstream, and the work will continue downstream where there are currently porous drain planes and culverting.

Thanks for sharing, but it had a soft paywall.

At least they had compassionate nurses…

Painted into a corner, the Nusslocks were forced to drive to a nearby facility that was not bound by religious restriction — but not before a nurse at Providence handed them a bucket and some towels “in case something happens in the car.”

I love jackdaws. They’re smart and mischievous.

He was (likely) wrongfully imprisoned for a crime that occurred 26 years ago. So it’s both long imprisonment and the costs of trying to overturn the conviction, including fact seeking, labs, lawyers, prosecutors, judges etc.

The Erasmus program enabled a lot of Britons to study abroad and widen their perspectives. I think it brought a whole lot of benefits to the UK, and while it obviously benefited almost every youth participating in it, I think that the UK as a whole probably benefited the most.

 

OC, but not ”my” photo. Posted with permission by the person who took the photo this morning.

 

Found this on the sidewalk yesterday. Probably (tastefully) arranged by someone, but as it’s late summer in the middle of a heat wave it stood out.

Taken from a Swedish news broadcast (a sad story about a father and his child who drowned when swimming in a river).

 

Eiffel Tower lit up to mark change, seen as way of protecting law that decriminalised abortion in 1975.

The French parliament has enshrined abortion as a constitutional right at a historic joint session at the Palace of Versailles.

Out of 925 MPs and senators eligible to vote, 780 supported the amendment, which will give women the “guaranteed freedom” to choose an abortion.

There was thunderous applause in the chamber as the result was announced on Monday; in central Paris, the Eiffel Tower was illuminated to mark the occasion.

The measure had already been passed by the upper and lower houses, the Sénat and the Assemblée Nationale, but final approval by parliamentarians at the joint session at Versailles was needed to effect constitutional change.

The prime minister, Gabriel Attal, told those gathered in the opulent Congress Hall in the palace’s Midi wing: “We are haunted by the suffering and memory of so many women who were not free. We owe a moral debt [to all the women who] suffered in their flesh.

“Today, the present must respond to history. To enshrine this right in our constitution is to close the door on the tragedy of the past and its trail of suffering and pain. It will further prevent reactionaries from attacking women.

“Let’s not forget that the train of oppression can happen again. Let’s act to ensure that it doesn’t, that it never comes this day.”

He added: “I say to all women within our borders and beyond, that today, the era of a world of hope begins.”

Mathilde Panot, an MP from the hard-left France Unbowed, who proposed inscribing the abortion rights in the constitution, told the meeting it was “a promise … for all women fighting [for them] everywhere in the world”.

 

From the article:

The man is blaming the automaker even though the manual door opener was under his left hand the whole time.

A man in Arizona says that he was recently trapped in his Tesla after getting in, closing the door, and then realizing that his battery was dead. What he didn’t know is that the manual release for the door was under his left hand the whole time. Now, he’s blaming the automaker and raising awareness.

Rick Meggison, 73, says that Tesla needs to address what he calls a “safety concern” involving how to exit the car when the battery dies. The main door latch actuator on all Tesla models is electronic so if the 12-volt battery dies it won’t work. To ensure safe exit of the vehicle Tesla includes a manual release. Meggison didn’t know about that and ended up trapped in his car for 20 minutes on a hot day.

“I couldn’t open the doors. I couldn’t lower the windows. The computer was dead, so I couldn’t open the glove box. I couldn’t open anything,” he told ABC7. Of course, he could’ve opened the door in about two seconds had he known that the manual release was just ahead of his window switches. His situation has many wondering who’s to blame in situations like this.

 

I've been watching Trucker Dashcam // Sweden while cleaning around the house today, so this is from another one of his videos. His one of the nicest truckers I've ever heard of. He mainly does dashcam compilations nowadays, and includes videos from friends and subscibers as well.
The GIF is severely cropped and small, sorry. Used ImgFlip again, will look into some better options soon.

In the clip (and the timestamp in the below timed link) you see the trucker approaching a toll station. Apparently "clever" car drivers think it makes more sense to take the pedestrian/bike path to avoid the toll station and instead save a few SEK.
