🪖 The UK army has conducted live-fire tests of its brand-new Challenger 3 tank, which is equipped with a new smoothbore gun, advanced sensors and state-of-the-art reactive armor, the UK government says.
The tank has been manufactured by German-UK arms manufacturer Rheinmetall BAE Systems Land at a cost of £800 million ($997 million), creating around 750 jobs at the plant and in the UK, the government adds.

WHY is Lake Natron phenomenal?
A lake covered with a crust of salt can change color throughout the year. Thanks to the halophilic cyanobacteria microorganisms that live in Natron, the water takes on juicy reddish and pinkish hues several times a year. When the temperature rises, the bacteria release a pigment red, staining the lake.
The concentrations of salt and alkali in Lake Natron are so strong that animals and birds that accidentally enter the water are killed and mummified. The exception is the lesser flamingos: these birds have ideal breeding conditions here. High water temperature, reaching 50°C in the wetlands, allows flamingos to incubate their eggs at any time of the year.
There surely is in human nature an inherent propensity to extract all the good out of all the evil.

Samourai Wallet founders arrestend and services seized: a serious attack on privacy and liberty of all
Yesterday, April 24, 2024, the founders of Samourai Wallet were arrested on charges of money laundering and providing unauthorized money transmission services. The arrests followed an investigation by the U.S. Department of Justice, with one of the founders arrested in Portugal thanks to cooperation from European law enforcement authorities.
Although investigations began around 2022, it is no coincidence, in my opinion, that the founders of Samourai were arrested at this particular historical moment.
The attack on Samourai has a political nature. The U.S. government does not care about money laundering; they are the first to launder money. They are interested in preventing substantial leaps forward in financial privacy (and thus freedom) that would limit their ability to extract resources from the masses of tax-paying slaves.

WHY can hot milk be whipped into a foam?
⠀
The proteins have curdled in it.
⠀
The albumin and globulin proteins in milk coagulate at 60 °C and their molecules stick together. If you saturate hot milk with air bubbles, films of coagulated protein form around these bubbles. That’s is the milk foam.
⠀
Still commonly cold milk is also poured into the cappuccinator so that the device can control the heating process.
