Industrial scale hydroponics. I actually have a hydroponic herb garden at home. Its really cool, and it is nice to have fresh herbs and greens any time I want.

That was very cool! I resolve to not go chasing hadal zones, and stick to littoral and shallows that I’m used to. But also maybe I should try to finish Subnautica.

I kept scrolling thinking “this must be the deepest mammal dive”, but then there’d be another. Damn elephant seals dive 2.5 km and you can find mammals 3 km below the surface.
I did not know that mammals could dive this deep. And I didn’t expect an elephant seal in the midst of the whales for deep diving. That was totally surprising.
Yeah I was blown away. I wondered how they see anything that far down and/or if they use echolocation, but they do not. Must be tough hoping a random fish swims by close enough.
Not having echolocation , southern elephant seals use sight and their vibrissae whiskers to sense nearby movement. Males return to the same areas every year to hunt, while females are more random.
Super cool, (and warm) engineering here!
Going to have to go back to Katie Mack’s The End of Everything again to check this

The title is a bit misleading. It might be the beginning. But scientists shouldn’t attempt to look that far back. Too hot and dense.
That sounds like what she wrote on the book too

This is crazy. Cancer cells stealing mitochondria from T Cells does a double whammy. Winds the T Cell down, and energizes the cancer cell.

This seems like a headline that would run at the start of a movie about the robot apocalypse.
That’s how Horizon Zero Dawn happens.
Maybe we’ll get super cool robot dinosaurs to kill us.
CNN is, to put it kindly, exaggerating for effect.

This whole process sounds remarkably similar to an experience I had while playing the mobile game Cell Lab:
