emptyother , in Why do people hear their names being called in the woods?
@emptyother@programming.dev avatar

I know I heard my name called occasionally as a kid. Clear as day but directionless, seemingly from very close to me. I figured its just a bug in a developing mind. But could also be that my mom got damn angry if I didnt hear her calling so I was always listening for it, and like the article describe, I picked up noise and the brain filled in the expectation.

Looking forward to a photographic journal of learning to build similar walls on LallyLuckFarm.

You know it is going to happen.

People are fucking dumb sometimes. That's all.

He did a lot of good work. I also feel happy knowing that we actually found the particle physically while he was still alive. That has got to be satisfying. Rest easy, Higgs. ❤️

It's always a sad thing to hear but 94 and leaving a mark that puts him up there with the greatest minds of all time. Bravo, sir. Bravo!

It is "solid evidence that tyrannosaurs drastically changed their diet as they grew up," said Dr Darla Zelenitsky, from the University of Calgary.

"We now know that these teenage [tyrannosaurs] hunted small, young dinosaurs," said Dr Zelenitsky, one of the lead scientists in this study, which is published in the journal Science Advances.

But, Dr Zelenitsky, added, "these smaller, immature tyrannosaurs were probably not ready to jump into a group of horned dinosaurs, where the adults weighed thousands of kilograms".

Staff at Alberta's Royal Tyrell Museum of Palaeontology eventually noticed small toe-bones sticking out from the ribcage.

"The rock within the ribcage was removed to expose what was hidden inside," explained Dr Therrien, who is the other lead scientist in this study.

While the adults bit and scraped with their powerful "killer banana" teeth, "this animal was selecting and even dissecting its prey - biting off the legs and swallowing them whole".
