Another one. Unusual to see a Christian, presumably mostly white, school attacked. Cue many sentiments about "thoughts and prayers", as if that helps.  ::)

In this Science segment, we take a closer look at Google's announcement that it has cracked a key challenge in quantum computing, with a new chip capable of almost unfathomable speeds. Dubbed Willow, the chip performed a standard test in under five minutes, whereas today's fastest supercomputers would have taken billions of years. So what exactly is the quantum revolution and what is it set to change in our world? FRANCE 24's Julia Sieger tells us more.

Alright folks, it's official! Lockdown in the US is now over! You can come out of your hidey-hole now...because at long last, the vicious and deadly 'murder hornets' can no longer hurt you!  :laughing:

Invasive 'murder hornets' are wiped out in the US, officials say

Murder Hornets Have Made Their Way to Europe

Yep, Europe has experienced these pests for a few years. Thanks for your wishes, SGR!
They can be dangerous, even fatal, if you happen to stumble right near their nest, but they are less territorial if you comes across them a couple of hundreds metres from the nest looking for fruits etc. I'm not saying they will whizz off like a fly might but they will tend to concede if you wind up a towel (like what might happen in rugby changing rooms) and whip it in their direction.

But let's back up a bit. I always knew them as the "hornet". Who the hell came up with the term "murder" hornet? Is this the same lawyer who came up with "manslaugther" hornet?  :laughing:

QuoteA 32-year-old man was arrested after police say he stabbed the president of a company he worked for Tuesday morning in West Michigan.

According to the Fruitport Police Department, officers were called to Anderson Express Inc. in Muskegon for a report of a stabbing. A preliminary investigation determined that at about 9:20 a.m., the employee, from Walker, Michigan, allegedly stabbed the company president in the side during a staff meeting. The employee ran from the building and fled in his car.

Another CEO but luckily he survived this time.


I was this cool the whole time.

Call me skeptical. I'm not convinced they've been eradicated from the U.S.
