The carbon footprint of USA's Virginia / Colorado / etc data mining operations is utterly staggering.

Hot off the press…I just read that Intel will have one trillion transistors on a single chip by 2030.
I suppose it’s not a fact quite yet. They still have several years of development left, but I still found that to be “interesting” to say the least. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

The Earth is spinning at 1000 MPH while orbiting the Sun at 67,000 MPH and our Solar System whirls around the center of our Galaxy at 490,000 MPH.
And I got a speeding ticket for going 62 MPH in a 50 MPH zone. Doesn't seem right.

"Comedian" Ricky Gervais was the lead singer of a new wave band in the early 80's. Seona Dancing
https://youtu.be/UDvYpOnN9Qk?si=OML7SWZC6Sp_dw62 Very Bowiesque. I personally like 80's Era pop music and think this was good. Didn't make it in the west, but apparently had an enormous hit in the Philippines, who view Ricky Gervais in a totally different context.. |

In 1942, six German soldiers came ashore in NYC from a U Boat with the intent to sabotage US infrastructure. They were caught almost immediately and five of them were tried and executed two months later.

Depending on your opinion the first ever wrist watch was from ,,,,,,
And yet there is documentary evidence to prove beyond any doubt that, in response to a commission from the Queen of Naples June 8th 1810, Breguet conceived and made the first wristwatch ever known, the Breguet watch number 2639

I have a real fascination with bees …
The male bees (in any species) cannot sting as they don't have the stinging anatomy, which makes them super safe. These 'drones' are much bigger than their female counterparts and have a rounded bottom. Their role is to reproduce with a fertile Queen and they don't collect pollen or nectar

I once went a whole year without buying a watch.
Hope it doesn't get me banned.

Humpback whales travel from Alaskan waters to places like Hawaii yearly from November thru May.
Even though they make the trip for mating and having babies, the males never buy the females dinner at all, once they arrive in Hawaii. There are a lot of good seafood restaurants in Hawaii but they don't eat for months, upon arrival. To help balance this out I generally eat a ton while in Hawaii though not the 1.5 tons the whales usually eat up North on a daily basis. But I do try to do my part. https://www.lovebigisland.com/hawaii...ack-whale-101/
