A picture of a simple solution to the situation in Strait of Hormuz where oiltankers would simply hit a trampoline and backflip over to the other side of the strait to avoid the dangers completely.

Saw the best and most realistic solution on reddit:

make stuff.

make stuff that's ugly and imperfect and messy.

make stuff that will never in a million years sell.

make stuff that's just for you.

make stuff that has been done a million times before but do it in your way, and who gives a fuck if someone else did it better?

just make stuff.

overlooking a series of circular water filled tanks of a sewage treatment plant at night. 

lights line a long brick building on the horizon as a blue-black sky is stark behind a veil of thin puffy clouds in the distance.

good night, sewers.
good night, streams.
good night, operations and maintenance teams.
good night, settling tanks.
good night, stream banks.
good night, engineers, scientists, crews, managers, inspectors, analysts too.
a good night for us means serving with care.

good night, sewers, everywhere.

I sometimes worry that too many people think being a good critic means being a self-righteous dick about every little thing and I think far too many miss the point that you can't critique anything if you don't know how to love something.

Not an 80s movie, but I have always appreciated how Fahernheit 451 was far more about the author's hatred of TV screens than it was about his love for books.

GOOD NEWS! Researchers at Stanford University have developed a UNIVERSAL vaccine known as GLA-3M-052-LS+OVA, that protects against a wide range of respiratory viruses, bacteria AND even allergens. The vaccine is delivered intranasally AND provides broad protection in the lungs for several MONTHS.

David Attenborough [whispering]:

“As the predators close in on their helpless prey, we can only watch in silent horror, for it is not man’s role to interfere in the hierarchy of nature.”

Exposure to leaded gasoline is likely a significant cause of violent crime. Getting the lead out has been a huge success.

The hole in the ozone layer was actually very serious and a global effort allowed it to recover. Y2K WAS actually a serious problem and people worked countless hours to make sure nobody even noticed. Air and water pollution was catastrophic in many places and incredible effort reversed that damage.

Is that such a big difference from 9am? Those are short daylight days, regardless.
