Opel GT - Wikipedia

They should do their homework first. I almost purchased an Opel GT for my 1st car. My dad wisely told me to first look at the cost of insurance. After I decided it was a bad idea, reinforced that by pointing out how costly it would be to find repair parts in the USA

Epaulette shark - Wikipedia

Just a color pattern it is named after

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epaulet...

I can't be the only person who visits the aquarium, squees at the epaulette getting noms, and rushes to the googles to price shark eggs.

The difference is that i already know that I am not prepared to cope with feeding/upkeep costs.

"Are there any technologies the left is excited about?"

This seemed like an old-school prompt for blogging (complimentary,) so I blogged about some ocean conservation technology that I'm excited about.

Baby Shark Sighting Misrepresented in Media Coverage A photograph of a small great white shark made headlines, but for the wrong reasons. The coolest aspect of the study was missed.

Friends, this 2024 photo is going viral again.

Captions suggest that it is unequivocally a newborn great white shark, that no one has ever seen a baby great white shark before, and that finding one is a holy grail for marine biology.

None of these things are accurate, as I wrote at the time: 🧪🦑🌍🦈

Marine Oxygen Levels Are the Next Great Casualty of Climate Change The increasing frequency of dead zones will affect billions of people who rely on the ocean for survival

Large swaths of the oceans have lost 10 to 40% of their oxygen, and that loss is expected to accelerate with climate change
Water without adequate oxygen cannot support life, which is catastrophic for marine life and billions humans who depend on fish

Not to play "administration's advocate," but there's a possibility that releasing petroleum from strategic oil reserves did make a difference.. not by reducing prices, but by lessening the increase in prices that was going to occur.

Like you, this is not my field. Just throwing out a hypothesis

That is a good point. Yes it could. I had the same thought, and People Magazine is not what I would call a reliable source. That's why in the comments I also included a link to the people who made the claim of albinism. Please, take it up with them & let me know why

"The dolphins probably sought refuge in shallow areas that interfere with orcas’ echolocation and movement – but then ended up getting stuck among the sandbanks and tidal channels themselves, says Arias."
