#BREAKING: the Fish Doorbell is LIVE! 🐟 🛎️

Fish migrate down Utrecht's waterways every spring, but the lock is rarely opened then. Hence, the "fish doorbell". If you spot fish on this literal live stream, you can send a photo to the lock-keeper to alert them to open the gates!

Migration really gets going in April, so stay tuned.

$5.1 million a year so that 150 people can sleep outside in cold, wet tents. That's $2800/month/person, so someone can sleep outside in a tent. Just absolute insanity.

Two years since the new version of google icons and the struggle is still real

The fact that Americans are risking their lives traveling to a region of Mexico controlled by cartels in order to obtain healthcare says a lot more about the USA than it does about Mexico.

Why does school teach us to selectively pick evidence that supports our thesis? It's the opposite of what it should teach...

How come I finished university and never had a class about intellectual honesty?

Someone asked: I've owned only Brother printers for the past decade and more. They don't pull this DRM crap and they work well with Linux.

Do not -- do not -- buy a printer (or anything else) from HP. Unfortunately, since Congress refuses to make illegal what is flagrantly unfair and unethical, that is your only option. Such a sleazy, arrogant company. https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2023/03/customers-fume-as-hp-blocks-third-party-ink-from-more-of-its-printers/

Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! A new spider genus!

Meet Abba transversa—named for the pop group ABBA—a new genus and species of orb-weaver in the family Araneidae. Scientists identified it from specimens that were collected in coastal areas of Queensland and New South Wales in Australia, and the name was inspired by the band's songs and the "Mamma Mia!" film musicals, which "provided hours of entertainment for the authors." 🕷️ https://phys.org/news/2023-03-spider-genus-band-abba.html #science #NewSpecies #spider #ABBA

Heeeyyy, it's my first byline for @cnn! Bees pick up "waggle dance" steps when they're novice workers, by checking out the dances of more experienced hivemates. If they miss that chance, their dances are riddled with errors—some of which never get fixed 🐝 https://www.cnn.com/2023/03/09/world/bees-waggle-dance-scn/index.html #SciComm #science #bees #entomology

it’s incredible to me that some birds can just glide so casually in the air. and the fact that each feather is likely sensing the air movement and adjusting accordingly is mind blowing. these northern harriers glide so slowly for how graceful they are. it’s wild. big fan of harriers over here.

#Python people! what's the best way to share an #interactive #notebook with people online? I have come across mercury https://runmercury.com/tutorials/website-python-jupyter-notebook/ but happy to hear about other people's experiences. I wasn't looking to run a full binder run, just a simple dashboard.
