It took all of 24 hours for Brazil's communist dictator to begin punishing his political opponents after "winning" his reelection.
Yes, after this weekend, we should absolutely end the semi-annual time changes and remain on Standard Time.
Drone warfare is here.
Purdue University's IDEAS Lab built an autonomous drone that tracks runners through dense forests completely without GPS or cloud networks.
By running 3D LiDAR mapping and obstacle-avoidance AI entirely on-chip, it can weave under tree canopies and predict target movement through blind spots in real time.
Massive implications for next-gen search & rescue and edge AI.
From experience with pastoral visits to an elderly parent: Ive always heard the gospel read, and sometimes there's a summary of the day's homily. But communion and prayer have been the focuses of the visits.

On Sunday, clocks across the US will return to where they should have been all along.
ALT A three-panel meme contrasts standard length, standard weight, and standard time. The first panel shows rulers with the text “Standard Length: 1 inch = 1 inch” beside a smiling bespectacled Wojak. The second shows metal weights with the text “Standard Weight: 1 pound = 1 pound” beside the same smiling character. The third shows a clock surrounded by suns with the text “Standard Time: noon = noon” beside a crying, distressed Wojak, humorously emphasizing support for permanent Standard Time and opposition to shifting clocks away from solar time.
The latest sunrises of the entire year are this week - not because of astronomy, but because of the artifical setting of our clocks.
Next week, we'll get to have sunrises and sunsets at natural times.
The SNF theme song is like one of those tweets that says 'For every 10 likes I'll make this guy's head bigger' but it's 'for every season we keep using Carrie Underwood we'll make the song worse.'
Standard Time is best because noon is when the sun is overhead. When we have 10 or fewer hours of daylight in a day during winter, then yes, the sun will set at other before 5PM. That's science!
British Columbia electing a conservative government is insane. Maybe there's still hope for Canada.
