Sunspots 871

Things I have recently spotted that may be of interest to others*:

Education: Grammarphobia discusses watching "on the TV," vs. watching "on TV."

Environment:  Gizmodo reports that the number of serious earthquakes in Texas increased markedly recently. Fracking is probably the main cause.

Gizmodo also reports that Florida utility companies are fighting solar panel installation in the state.

Gizmodo also reports that about 25% of wild large cats in Zambia had been injured by traps or guns before death.

Gizmodo reports on "rogue waves," waves twice as tall, or more, as those surrounding them.

Finances: Gizmodo discusses the causes of inflation. It's not simple.

Health: NPR shows us a graphic history of the connections between the variations of the SARS-COVID comples of viruses. There are some surprises.

Politics: Gizmodo reports that a majority of donations to the supposedly Canadian "Freedom Convoy" are from the US. Canada has taken action to require reporting of large donations to such groups.

The graphic used in these posts is from NASA, hence, it is free to use like this.
