There seems to be a weird popular misconception about Paw Patrol being some sort of police recruitment propaganda for toddlers. I've (unfortunately) had to sit through hundreds of episodes and it really isn't. The police dog is not particularly treated as a main character as all of them are given pretty equal screen time and storylines (out side the recent film, which does focus on him). And even when the episodes do focus on Chase it's barely police work, certainly he doesn't go around pointing his gun at immigrants. His main ability as a police officer seems to be that he has a megaphone.

Check out Luma it's an iPhone app that makes it really easy to create Nerfs and render out videos from them. Although I don't think it handles long paths like this method yet.

Yeah it seems like such a strange mindset to me too. I feel like some people find it hard to think of things outside of a monetary system. We live in such a financialised world. You can't just read a book and enjoy it, you have to add it to your balance sheet, ammortise the costs, fill out a psychological tax return at the end of the year.

While I think maths was one subject that held out as male-dominated, and it still probably is at university level and beyond, recently girls started to out-perform boys at school level. https://www.theguardian.com/education/2021/aug/13/girls-over...

If you kill yourself while cycling then you were almost certainly hit by a car, which is probably more likely if you are drunk cycling. But this is also the fault of bad cycling infrastructure and arguably the driver who cannot avoid another road user.

If only there was some way every member of the public could have a say in political decisions. Hopefully one of those clever startups figures it out.

The article discusses this. Egypt are apparently starting to produce a lot of green hydrogen for export to Europe.

> “The anti-fentanyl antibodies were specific to fentanyl and a fentanyl derivative and did not cross-react with other opioids, such as morphine. That means a vaccinated person would still be able to be treated for pain relief with other opioids,” said Haile.

Not really clear if it prevents ODing but the article says:

> Our vaccine is able to generate anti-fentanyl antibodies that bind to the consumed fentanyl and prevent it from entering the brain, allowing it to be eliminated out of the body via the kidneys.
