I'm not sure "lash out" is the right choice of words here. If someone publicly called for your death while accusing you of a crime you didn't commit, and never even apologized when you're proven innocent, I'd say you can be rightfully extremely angry at them.

Housing is too cheap? Now that's a problem I'd like to have

This paper says nothing about the "brain's navigation system". It is focused on the distribution of cone photoreceptors in the retina, and more precisely in the fovea.

1000017592

They are indeed organized in a hexagonal mosaic as you can see in the picture, and the authors present a new method to estimate spatial distribution of said cones, showing that there are anisotropies, with the cones having a larger local spacing along the horizontal axis.

The fovea (A) is the central-ish region of the retina, and it is packed with cones, which are specialized in color recognition. As you move to the periphery of the retina (B), another type of receptor becomes dominant : the rods. They are a lot better at sensing light but can't tell which color it is. That's why our peripheral vision is mostly shades of gray, even if your brain tries to convince you otherwise by adding the colors from context.

Anyway, not saying this isn't an interesting topic, but it's not the best source to illustrate it.

You can usually tell it's AI by looking at the hands. Trump's are obviously way too large for this to be a real picture.

The rover only has environmental testing to go through and is otherwise ready. So since they are launching the rocket anyway, why not just use the rover without testing instead of a mass simulator. What's the worst that could happen?

Somehow I have much more confidence in the handling of a Russian nuclear plant by the Ukrainians than I have in the handling of an Ukrainian plant by the Russians

Bumped into my brother's ex GF on a Grand Canyon trail, when we both live in Europe.

I did, that's how I could summarize what they're actually about. Now if you think those failings should add up to the same factual reporting rating than Fox News...

Yeah you can find all of their FIVE failed fact checks in the last 5 years, most of them consisting in simply reporting on what other seemingly believable sources such as other news outlets or NGOs had said. The outrage ! It's basically British Fox News /s
