It is used for charging batteries, not providing constant power. It disengages on lane change according to the article, but that should not be a problem if there are batteries.

"Mice genetically engineered to spontaneously develop breast cancers in all 10 of their mammary pads also responded to the treatment."

Woha, I had no idea that we can genetically engineer animals to develop cancer. That is impressive, and a little scary...

if you are buying a house you are probably a member of a family with two adults and hopefully two incomes. That makes a $1M more realistic.

At least that is the way it works here in Stockholm where $1M houses frequently are bought by people with way lower salary than 180k, often not even 180k combined in the family. However, prices here are very inflated and rates are super low.

You can easily do HIIT with minimal infrastructure. Burpees and jumping squats for example will get your pulse up in no time.

It will likely require a shower afterwards though which might pose a problem.

"... but I’m not cut out to be a stay at home parent"

As with leadership skills, I think that enjoying to be a stay at home parent also must be learnt. It might seem hard, or boring, or tedious to some. But I am convinced basically anyone can make an enjoyable experience of it if they actually make an effort. It will not come automatically, it will take some time and effort.

Now that is a great collection, thank you!

One thing that I think would make the collection even better is spoiler free titles to maximize the suspense.

For example, the screen saver story lost much excitement when I knew the cause from the title.

Reading this I am once again fascinated by the link between body and mind. My hands start to sweat as soon as I read the headline.

I have some issues with the statement "No scientific evidence this product works". To me it is toothless and not very convincing. What if the product never has been tested scientifically? In that case, it might work...

However, if a label would say "10 peer reviewed and published scientific studies find no evidence that this product works". Now that is convincing.

Agreed. However, Germany is typically not regarded as a part of Northern Europe. Although that can be argued since there is no formal definition if Northern Europe.

The article only mentions that consuming this particular seaweed eliminates methane. I am missing the production perspective. How much more/less greenhouse gasses are created during production of the seaweed compared to traditional fodder? The net total is what counts.
