Guardian: Five doctors on the supplements they swear by, from Vitamin D to lion’s mane
Which vitamins does a GP specialising in hormones take to help her mood? And what does a medic reach for when someone they live with has a cold?
fwiw.
Wales Online: Drivers given ‘£1,000 fine and points on licence’ dash cam warning
Dash cams have become increasingly popular with drivers in recent years. They can be very useful - particularly if you are involved in a crash and want to prove what happened.
But there are also rules that have to be stuck to in relation to their installation and use. For example, insurers must generally be informed if you are using one.
Stuff.co.nz: Secret Service investigating how a gunman who shot at Trump was able to get so close
An Associated Press analysis of more than a dozen videos and photos taken at the Trump rally, as well as satellite imagery of the site, shows the shooter was able to get astonishingly close to the stage where the former president was speaking. A video posted to social media and geolocated by the AP shows the body of a man wearing gray camouflage lying motionless on the roof of a manufacturing plant just north of the Butler Farm Show grounds, where Trump’s rally was held.
The roof was less than 150 meters (yards) from where Trump was speaking, a distance from which a decent marksman could reasonably hit a human-sized target. For reference, 150 meters is a distance at which U.S. Army recruits must hit a scaled human-sized silhouette to qualify with the M16 assault rifle in basic training. The AR-15, like the shooter at the Trump rally had, is the semi-automatic civilian version of the military M16.
Now Nvidia has revealed that the displays of the now-iconic Las Vegas Sphere—a gigantic spherical entertainment arena sitting at the heart of Sin City—are powered by 150 of its RTX A6000 desktop workstation GPUs.
For those that like big numbers, well, hold onto your hats. Each of those GPUs feature over 10,752 cores, 48 GB of memory and have a 300 W TDP, for a grand total of 1,612,800 cores, 7,200 GB of GDDR6 memory, and a potential maximum power draw of 45,000 W at full tilt (via Wccftech).

it’s estimated that the Sphere is capable of drawing 28,000,000 watts of power. For reference, 1,000,000 watts, or 1 megawatt, is said to be enough to satisfy the instantaneous demand of 750 homes at once in the California/Nevada area, meaning that 28 megawatts would be equivalent to the power necessary for 21,000 homes.
A draw of 28 MW of power!
AppleInsider: Apple Watch saves Australian swimmer from ocean riptides
Byron Bay resident Rick Shearman had been out for his usual morning body surf at Tallow Beach when he got deluged by strong breaking waves that were carrying him further away from land. He was eventually carried out a kilometer (0.6 miles) offshore, trying to find a channel to get back to land.
“I copped a couple of big ones on the head and was held under for a while, I started to panic a bit and cramp up under water there,” Shearman later told an ABC North Coast reporter. “It became clear after about 20 minutes that I wasn’t going to make it back in and I needed some assistance.”
Fatigued by the effort to avoid breaking waves and unable to get back to the beach, Shearman remembered the emergency function of his Apple Watch. While treading water, he located the SOS function on the device and called the Australian emergency number, 0-0-0.
NewsNation: Trump rally shooting witnesses saw suspect climb on roof with rifle
Another witness, named Greg Smith, told BBC News the suspected shooter had crawled on top of the building located just outside the event. He said he pointed the gunman out to police.
“I’m thinking to myself, ‘Why is Trump still speaking, why have they not pulled him off the stage’… the next thing you know, five shots ring out.”
Smith was listening from outside the rally and said he saw the gunman around five minutes into Trump’s speech.
“We noticed the guy bear-crawling up the roof of the building beside us, 50 feet away,” he said. “He had a rifle; we could clearly see a rifle.”
Just Have a Think (YouTube): America’s grid battery revolution. [video]
China is often held up as leading the way in renewable energy, but it’s actually the USA that has most enthusiastically embraced battery energy storage to help stabilize the electricity grid, and in some surprising locations. But is it all about the noble effort of decarbonisation or are we seeing some market profiteering here?
A good overview of what’s going on with industrial-sized batteries around the world.
BlogTO: Man quits job after 9 years to open one of Ontario’s most unique candy stores
After spending just under nine years working at an Indigo location (five of which he spent as a manager) in London, Ontario, Josh Stern felt it was time to make a big change.
Taking stock of all he had learned and where he wanted to go next, the idea for All The Candy, Richmond Hill’s newest and only exotic candy store was born.
I wonder if any candy store workers have decided to quit selling sugar to open a bookstore?
NYT: Photo Appears to Capture Path of Bullet Used in Assassination Attempt
Michael Harrigan, a retired F.B.I. special agent, said the image captured by Doug Mills, a New York Times photographer, seems to show a bullet streaking past former President Donald J. Trump.
CleanTechnica: The Duck Curve & Solutions For It
Normally, in the past, fast generation responses were made by simple gas turbines, which have cheap initial cost, are fast starting and ramping, have some running costs and some fuel costs, and for the most part are ideal for sudden loads. Their overall marginal cost was usually higher than other generation, but nothing else would do that job so cheaply and so well … until batteries came along. Now battery energy storage is cheaper than natural gas plants and BESS are replacing gas turbines progressively in California. This started as far back as 2018 and has spread to other parts of the US as battery energy storage prices have plummeted.
