I clicked around for a while until I got the cards to download, the link is on this page.

Some fantastic activities for kids, I'll be trying some out later today.

The last and one of the best episodes of the season. I'm off to listen to Justified and some Lonely Island!

I've covered gravity energy storage before but this is a great visualisation of how effective it is.

This quote could be attributed to almost any time in the past decade.

At this time in Europe when we are beginning to hear populist speeches and witness political decisions of this selective kind it's all too easy to remember Hitler's speeches in 1933, which were not so different from some of the speeches of a few European politicians now.

On climate change:

There is an expression in Spanish: “God always forgives, we forgive sometimes, but nature never forgives.” We did not respond to the partial catastrophes. Who now speaks of the fires in Australia, or remembers that 18 months ago a boat could cross the North Pole because the glaciers had all melted? Who speaks now of the floods? I don't know if these are the revenge of nature, but they are certainly nature's responses.

This is a beautifully lightweight web page from Apple that illustrates how to construct and adjust the face shields they're producing.

For your first ever visit, on a broadband connection, it takes less than 2 seconds to load. Well under a second if you refresh. Fonts and the animated GIFs are the bulk of the traffic between you and Apple.

Between Apple, Ford, Dyson, Tesla and others turning their manufacturing might towards items that will benefit the battle against Covid-19. Hopefully these contributions will make a real difference to how long we're impacted for.

There are already few variations of this type of cover plate on Amazon. I actually bought a couple from eBay which work well but need the entire face plate from Philips. This one on Kickstarter looks pretty clean and I'm tempted to replace ours with these.
