This Is Litterally The Craziest Thing I've Seen During A Wc Game So Far

I had been staring at this pigeon on my balcony for ten minutes trying to determine whether pigeons are dumb or secretly the wisest animals on our planet.

Then it turned its head 180°, looked me straight in the eyes, and wispered (wispered!) in the most clearest Australian accent I've ever heard, "Zoo wee mama." At that moment I knew.

If peanut oil is from peanuts,

canola oil is from canolas,

And olive oil is from olives,

Where does baby oil come from?

It's funny how...

Teens these days can probably name more mass/school shootings than presidents. Ha.

Engineers fly first-ever plane with no moving parts

Since the first airplane took flight over 100 years ago, virtually every aircraft in the sky has flown with the help of moving parts such as propellers, turbine blades, and fans, which are powered by the combustion of fossil fuels or by battery packs that produce a persistent, whining buzz.

Now MIT engineers have built and flown the first-ever plane with no moving parts. Instead of propellers or turbines, the light aircraft is powered by an “ionic wind” – a silent but mighty flow of ions that is produced aboard the plane, and that generates enough thrust to propel the plane over a sustained, steady flight.

Unlike turbine-powered planes, the aircraft does not depend on fossil fuels to fly. And unlike propeller-driven drones, the new design is completely silent.

“This is the first-ever sustained flight of a plane with no moving parts in the propulsion system,” says Steven Barrett, associate professor of aeronautics and astronautics at MIT. “This has potentially opened new and unexplored possibilities for aircraft which are quieter, mechanically simpler, and do not emit combustion emissions.”

He expects that in the near-term, such ion wind propulsion systems could be used to fly less noisy drones. Further out, he envisions ion propulsion paired with more conventional combustion systems to create more fuel-efficient, hybrid passenger planes and other large aircraft.

Barrett and his team at MIT have published their results in the journal Nature.

Home Needs

- Cleaning products (mop, broom, dustpan, bleach, vaccuum, gloves, cleaning wipes and anymore you think you may need.

- First aid kit. You never know when you might need it, So it’s always good to have one in case.

- Spare tire. Once again, You never know when you might need one.

- Power outage essentials. Flashlights and batteries.

- Fire extinguisher, Better safe than sorry.

- Whistle. Most people can just call the police if they spot something suspicious, But in a case where you may not be able to phone the police, You can use the whistle to alert anyone nearby.

- Laundry baskets, Microfiber cloths and towels.

- Some good and fulfilling meals and lots of water.

- A weapon of some sort to keep by your bed/nightstand. I would recommend a baseball bat but anything works. In case of an intruder, It’s good to have something by your side if needed.

I don't need help because I'm female, I need help because I'm human.

Some dude asked to help me carry some bags and I told him, "No, I'm fine, thanks." He kept asking so I was about to hand him a bag, but then he went on to say, "Men need to help Women." Nope! He lost his chance. I don't need a MAN to help me with something I can do myself. Especially not because I am a WOMAN. My grandma (who I was with at the time) tried to excuse his statement by saying the male person was just trying to use manners, but I won't stand for it. Saying it's "manners" just prevents us from acknowledging that statements like that make it okay to make women sound/feel inferior.

Now that there's no South American team playing, I want Russia to win so we can end this cup feeling like how we have been since the group stage. Completely and utterly confused.
