California Taxpayers Forced To Prop Up $2 Billion Ivanpah Solar Disaster
The Ivanpah Solar Electric Generating System "concentrated" solar thermal plant in the Mojave Desert is by any measure an unmitigated disaster.
The party that is now claiming they are rescuing the Ivanpah they mandated to exist was scheduled to be closed this year - because it's low costs were always a pipe dream and it's maintenance estimates were the optimism no scientists believed.
But California ignores scientists. We ignore them on 80,000 Prop 65 cancer warning labels on harmless products, we ignore them on pesticides, and we ignore them on energy.

Weekend Science: Why Don't Young People Want To Date?
Younger man, Generation Z according to marketing groups who invent new generations every 10 years, have a lot less interest in dating than in years past.
It could be that they feel besieged in culture. When sociologists blame the "Johnny Bravo" cartoon, which caricatured masculinity by having him get dunked on by women every episode, for toxic masculinity, you know we have a cultural militancy problem.

Rosie The Riveter Was Born On This Day In 1920 - Or Not
Rosie The Riveter was born on this day in 1920.
Well, one of them.
And maybe on this day. All of those diet claims about centenarians and their lifestyles could be suspect if so many are fraud or clerical error the data are meaningless. No one is even sure when Rose Will Leigh, the original archetype for "Rosie the Riveter", was born.
The B-24 Liberator bomber consisted of 450,000 parts held together by 360,000 rivets of 550 different sizes. It weighed 18 tons. During World War II, Henry Ford's Willow Run plant in Michigan produced 8,685 of them, thanks to 42,000 employees working around the clock.

Long Before The Inca Colonized Peru, Natives Had A Thriving Trade Network
A new DNA analysis reveals that long before the Incan Empire took over Peru, animals were being transported across the Andes, a trek that also involved rainforests, highlands and deserts.
The analysis was of parrot feathers discovered at Pachacamac, Peru, a religious hub that is far outside the birds’ native rainforest range. The burial feather assemblage included the Scarlet Macaw, Blue-and-yellow Macaw, Red-and-green Macaw and Mealy Amazon. DNA sequencing, isotope chemistry and computational landscape modeling says the western side of the Andes was just as inhospitable to these species one thousand years ago as it is today.
