    Well, Houston just rode out Hurricane Beryl, and let me tell you, it blew

    "Beryl was so bad... that I had to use a friends internet connection." Dang the unimaginable suffering /s

    ITER’s timeline for fusion stretched out even further

    Did a 15 year delay blamed (partly) on the pandemic? This does not bode well for the project if they are going to make such laughable claims.

    The hunt for the most efficient heat pump in the world

    So the guy “saves $3,420 annually in utility costs”? I take it his ‘unattached house’ is a good size manor? Or else I need more info here. Are British houses so energy inefficient? I live in Minnesota in a 102-year-old house with poor insulation and single-pane windows and I spend nowhere near...

    Yes, you should be a little freaked out about Hurricane Beryl

    First hurricane of the year and Eric writes an article predicting doom. Just another year at Ars... ;)

    AI-generated Al Michaels to provide daily recaps during 2024 Summer Olympics

    Hard pass on this. Does anyone listen to Al Michaels for the quality of his voice? No. It’s the humanity behind his observations and opinions that matter. Not some facsimile of his vocal sounds set to the words of some random editor or A.I. system.

    US drug shortages reach record high with 323 meds now in short supply

    Gingrich left office in 1999. Surely there was opportunity during the intervening 7 years for action. And surely there has been plenty of opportunity over the past 18 years to rectify the situation. Or the effect does not match the cause.

    CDC reports dips in flu, COVID-19, and RSV—though levels still very high

    Normal pattern here. Flu outbreaks usually start in more populated states (NY, CA, GA) then hit MN a few weeks later. I have been watching the CDC reports for decades now. You can find week by week progresssion for the past several years for comparison. Each year is different but you see this...

    That’s right, Aqualung. We can’t have a proper echo chamber with the likes of YOU spouting off here!

    Stewart’s show was a flop. Whats the mystery regarding his cancellation?

    Poison expert allegedly poisoned wife—with a shockingly toxic gout drug

    Classic sorry of poisoning death and subsequently catching the criminal. Good to see he went down for this, though in hindsight all the clues are so obvious. Reminds me of some research a few years ago looking into historical mass murderers. I was quite surprised to learn of the extensive...

    Report: Apple’s cancels The Problem with Jon Stewart over China, AI topics

    Maybe if Jon Stewart had even half the ratings of Oliver. I think Stewart was drawing something like 5% the audience however.

    Plant-based cheese may be getting more appetizing

    I guess when quality can only go in one direction. Reminds me of gluten-free beer. So, so bad (and some of the funniest reviews I ever read on some beer tasting sites). The only palatable variants became the IPAs, which just overwhelmed your taste buds with hops. But I digress…

    Common red food dye banned in Calif.—30 yrs after FDA found cancer risk in rats

    Good point. Good dyes are a cancer on us all. (pun intended)

    Common red food dye banned in Calif.—30 yrs after FDA found cancer risk in rats

    I think food dyes, as well as many other substances should be removed from food and other products. However, as stated in the article the reverse of what you hit on is the case as well, that the mechanism of cause of cancer in rats was never determined, so therefore extrapolation to humans is...

    Mercedes-Benz’s level 3 autonomous driving system takes over in heavy traffic

    ‘…a lot of different conditions’? Methinks you did not read the limitations described in the article. Pretty severe if you ask me. Highways but <40 mph, must be following another vehicle, lane markings must be clear, etc. Easy to assume liability within such parameters.
