Biden: "And then the Russians say to me, 'You keep expanding NATO, we're going to make friends with China. I almost burst out laughing, I could barely contain myself, I said 'good luck to you guys. If China doesn't work out, try Iran". 😂

ICYMI — Tucker Carlson says that no one cares if you’re a flat earther, but if you question what happened to Building 7 on 9/11 live on television you’ll lose your job.

"One of the leading ideas to explain why so few people are left-handed is the fighting hypothesis. It suggests that left-handers have an advantage in combat, but it comes with a hit to overall health.

"A team of researchers recently proposed an update to the hypothesis. They say that right-handers actually have a greater fighting advantage, because wielding a pointy weapon with one's right hand makes the heart harder to stab during combat. 
Based on this revision, the authors predict that left-handedness could increase in the population over time."

🇺🇸 NYT: The defunct US First Republic Bank (FRB) was taken over by the regulator and sold to JPMorgan Chase & Co.

The publication writes that this was a move aimed at curbing the two-month banking crisis that shook the US financial system. FRB, whose assets were hit by rising interest rates, struggled to survive after the collapse of two other major banks two months ago.

👨🏿‍🔬 Goosebumps are a universal physical phenomenon induced by thrills and chills. The hair-raising experience is a result of adrenaline stimulating minuscule muscles that pull at the roots of our arm hairs — in turn, making us bristle with bumps. This happens when we’re cold, when we’re emotional and, according to a pre-print paper released in PeerJ, when some people just feel like it.

The ability to create goosebumps at will is called “voluntary piloerection.” It is very rarely documented: There are only three single-individual case studies published about people with this talent, and scientists don’t have a clue how to explain it.

Brazil Unblocks Telegram

A Brazilian judge on Saturday suspended an injunction that blocked the Telegram messaging app across the entire country. The service was stopped after the Brazilian authorities requested user data on alleged neo-Nazi criminals, which the company says is impossible to provide.

In a ruling published on Saturday, a federal judge in Espirito Santo declared that “it is not reasonable” to restrict the “freedom of communication of thousands of people” who have nothing to do with the criminal case being investigated, G1 news reported.

Google, Apple, and four Brazilian telecom companies were ordered by a Brazilian court last week to remove Telegram from their app stores and block access to the platform after the company failed to turn over data on the administrators of a neo-Nazi group chat to investigators.

The Ukrainian "Center for countering disinformation" has compiled a list of American citizens who "contributed to Russian propaganda."

▪️Former representative of Hawaii Tulsi Gabbard and journalist Glenn Greenwald, who claimed the presence of American biological laboratories in Ukraine. The Ukrainian authorities refute this information to this day.

▪️Retired US Army Colonel Douglas McGregor, who said Zelensky was a "puppet". According to him, the President of Ukraine "exposed a huge number of his own population to unnecessary risk" by refusing to give in to the demands of Russian President Vladimir Putin.

▪️Academic John Mearsheimer, who gave a lecture ennoscriptd "Why is the West to blame in Ukraine?". In it, he argued that NATO and the EU dragged Ukraine into conflict with Russia, teasing the possibility of membership, but not even intending to grant it.

▪️Military historian Edward Luttwak, who in April 2022 called for a peace agreement and holding referendums in Donbass on joining Russia.

Jacob's ladder

The apparatus consists of a high voltage power supply and two electrodes arranged in a vertical plane at an angle to each other.

During operation it is possible to observe the formation and movement of an electric arc from the bottom to the top of the electrodes. That effect is explained by the fact that the arc consists of plasma heated to 5000-7000°C, it warms the air around itself and rises up, pulling the arc cord behind it.
