Even the small raptors, like this Eastern Screech owl gets x-rayed. A hood or towel is placed over the head to keep it calm. Wings and legs are spread out and taped down on our x-ray table. The x-ray is quickly taken and within a minute we can view the x-rays online.

this is the first meme I have ever made (yes I am that old) - so be gentle :)

what does being modern mean to you?

Though i'm pretty torn if it is even meme when it's entirely factual.

Great Britain has only two days of fossil gas stored after a decline in energy reserves, as more tankers carrying liquefied natural gas (LNG) are diverted from their course to Europe towards Asia because of the Iran war.

Great Britain had 6,999 gigawatt hours (GWh) of fossil gas stored on Saturday, according to figures from National Gas, which owns and operates the gas national transmission system. This compares with 9,105 GWh a year earlier.

Maximum capacity is 12 days of gas, and current storage levels equate to under two days of reserves, leading to concerns that Great Britain could run out of gas if the crisis in the Middle East escalates further.

The larger star symbolizes the CCP, and the four smaller stars symbolize the four social classes of China's New Democracy mentioned in Mao Zedong's "On the People's Democratic Dictatorship": the working class, the peasantry, the urban petite bourgeoisie, and the national bourgeoisie.

Socialism is when proletariat and bourgeois work together hand-in-hand to build up and bring wealth to The Nation™ to the benefit of The People™! It's called dialectics buddy, read theory!

AI has made it vastly easier for malicious hackers to identify anonymous social media accounts, a new study has warned.

In most test scenarios, large language models (LLMs) – the technology behind platforms such as ChatGPT – successfully matched anonymous online users with their actual identities on other platforms, based on the information they posted.

The AI researchers Simon Lermen and Daniel Paleka said LLMs make it cost effective to perform sophisticated privacy attacks, forcing a “fundamental reassessment of what can be considered private online”.

In their experiment, the researchers fed anonymous accounts into an AI, and got it to scrape all the information it could. They gave a hypothetical example of a user talking about struggling at school, and walking their dog Biscuit through a “Dolores park”.

In that hypothetical case, the AI then searched elsewhere for those details and matched @anon_user42 to the known identity with a high degree of confidence.

Another highly sought after species that I was lucky enough to see in Argentina was this exceedingly cute Buff-fronted Owl.

Does anyone else see themselves in this article?

Republican Senator Thom Tillis said on Sunday he believes White House adviser Stephen Miller “should go” and that his role in the Trump administration has been a “big problem”.

The senior senator representing North Carolina, when asked on CNN’s State of the Union if he thinks Miller should go, during a conversation about the administration’s immigration crackdown, responded to host Jake Tapper stating “Oh, of course I do.”

“He is not worried about substance. He’s more worried about form, but I also think that he has an outsized influence over the operations of the cabinet. And I believe we’ve got qualified cabinet members there that sometimes are doing less than what they want to, because of his direction and his outsized influence. He’s a big problem in this administration. He has been from the beginning,” said Tillis.

CJ, Captain Jack, isn't with us anymore.

He came as part of the three pack with Belka. CJ was completely fearless. To the point of problematic. His fearlessness was a great asset in helping tame feral cats. He was a teammate. He would let them know there was nothing to fear because he didn't know fear. He would give even the nastiest feral beastie a bath.

One time the power company knocked on my door. Then needed to trim the trees that were getting in the way of the power lines. Each and every one of those trees was a Bradford pear tree. They said "can we cut them?" and I said "can you cut them to the ground?"

They were very happy to do that for me. But then CJ disappeared that same day. We called the animal shelter and let them know that we were looking for this cat. A month later they got a call. They had gotten a call from their trapper. "I got this cat that was trying to play with the 18 wheelers delivering supplies to the Builders Supply. But I noticed after catching him that his left ear was deformed and then it was also tipped but you couldn't tell that because of the deformity." We can only assume that he hitched a ride on the logging trucks and ended up five miles away.

Animal control said "is it a dusty orange cat with a deformed left ear? We are looking for him."

That's how CJ became the rare tipped ear cat with a microchip.

He stayed with us for many years after that, but we knew his fearlessness but eventually take him. One day he didn't come home. He lived his best life every day and served as an example to us all.

US among three countries so far backing measure triggered by Middle East war, according to reports

G7 finance ministers are preparing to discuss the release of emergency oil reserves, according to reports, after the US-Israel war with Iran sent the price of crude above $100 (£75) for the first time since 2022.

The ministers will discuss the release of the reserves in a call coordinated by the International Energy Agency (IEA), according to a report from the Financial Times.

The emergency meeting would take place at 8.30am New York time to discuss the impact of the Iran war, the FT reported, citing unnamed people familiar with the matter.

I recently started using my Chromebook more and was struggling to find a way to make the video playback smoother when using mpv running on ChromeOS.

I quickly realized the default config doesn't use hardware accel on ChromeOS as it is disabled for crostini.

I wrote a guide on how to enable it and use a custom config to enhance the user experience.

GitHub repo is a fork modified to enable mpv hw accel support in crostini.
