@lexikaleiia by @sebazpictures   Get Ready for the Robotic Fish Revolution The CIA developed a robotic catfish that can take and store water samples. Which is cool. But they named it Charlie. Which is lame. No offense to any Charlies out there. Lovely name. But for a CIA-created robot fish? A catfish nonetheless? We think they should’ve taken a bigger swing.  This isn’t it, but something like Professor Longwhisker.   12.5 Minutes to Take Off  [Partner]  COUNTDOWN™ Energy is a new kind of energy drink.  It has a balance of THC and caffeine with 10mg THC and 100mg caffeine (about a cup of coffee).

Let’s not take it for granted.   Historical Collection of Found Paper Airplanes This collection of 250 paper planes was donated to the Smithsonian after the collector’s death. Two things you should know about it. The first is that it was just a fraction of his total collection. And the second is that he collected them all the old fashioned way. By jumping into moving traffic, by snatching an airplane before it dived into a gutter, by viewing airplane-shaped trash as treasure.  We want someone to make a documentary on this guy.   Science Is Here to Clean Up the Wild West of Gin The subheadline of this article reads, “A fingerprinting technique similar to MRI scanning is finally revealing what makes the ultimate gin.” A lot to unpack there. Fingerprinting technique? Connected to MRI scanning? The ultimate gin?  How does this all tie together? (Wired🔺)   The Mixer The world’s most underrated beer. These superb hotels near baseball stadiums. The last time America didn’t owe anyone money. The oldest tapeworm ever. The world’s largest digital camera. Jane Goodall’s legacy of empathy, curiosity, and courage. Where to go for a less-crowded European summer🔺. Why planes fill with white smoke when leaving from humid places. This THC seltzer with 100mg of caffeine.* *Partner     /GTFO @formgestalter | Walvisbay     Our Gentleman's Agreement We'll keep the free daily newsletters coming.
