Data crunching + learning about a woman who went missing 30+yrs ago
Immediately after she "left" her husband moved in his girlfriend who he started dating/abusing when she was 16 as her school teacher.
EVERYONE independently says "he defo killed his wife"
The police are like... I guess she ran off?

Biologists recently described this geothermal amoeba, Incendiamoeba cascadensis, which thrives at 147°F (64°C) and pushes the known eukaryote temperature limit past 140°F (60°C), suggesting that complex life can endure far hotter conditions than once thought! 🧪

This game is SO fun

Croatia have a “close doors” ban (for dickhead fans) BUT there’s a loop hole in the UEFA ban that means it doesn’t apply to under 14s

SO! The Croatia football league have filled the stadium with school kids and the crowd noise is amazing 😂

I assume the emphasis is on “break” not “coffee”?

I think I’m getting a little too close the maximum tolerate dose of caffeine.
Here's a reminder on #InternationalCoffeeDay: It's OK to take a (coffee) break. ☕
