Sand made from recycled glass can be mixed with sediment to make a medium for plants to grow in. That can help with coastal restoration projects.

I am always excited whenever people introduce new ways to tackle contemporary environmental issues that have evidence to back it up as a solution. I know that glass is not usually recycled nationally and so having a use for them like replenishing coasts would be a revolutionary outcome! Cool find Dustin!

I will not be meeting the new surveillance state trooper, thanks. I think we need to amend ACAB to AUACAB (all unmanned automated cops... you know the rest). "Designed as a force multiplier, the PUG combines advanced autonomy from Perrone Robotics with AI-driven analytics, real-time crime data, and a suite of sensors including 360-degree cameras, thermal imaging, license plate recognition, and drone launch capabilities." I think the language and branding around this new type of policing is concerning. Calling it a force multiplier and branding it as a new state trooper is weird and gives off the vibe the intention is not to bolster public trust but to reduce overhead costs and issue more tickets. But these are my feelings off the rip, I think I'd need to do some more readings outside of this biased blog post to understand how and why it'll be used within its jurisdiction.

I did my scoop.it on how a North Carolina town is spending 300k on police drones. I wonder how this will change law enforcement in the near future. How do you even control an autonomous police car?

Ukraine wants their oil back. Why risk lives to get it back when you can use drones? Rather than kamikaze pilots, we have kamikaze piloted systems. How fun! Get your oil back.

Army Secretary Dan Driscoll says the Army is developing small drones based on Ukraine lessons, envisioning every infantryman having a drone for future missions.
William H's insight:
The portion in this article that caught my attention was that Daniel Driscoll, the US Army Secretary, explains the use of drones while paired with interceptors can imitate Israel's Iron Dome but at a smaller scale. If this type of technology can be achieved, this could revolutionize missile warfare and combat.

Naming the program skyfoundry is cracking me up, it reminds me of the terminator and skynet. 10,000 drones a month is a lot though, I wonder how much strain that puts on the facilities that develop the chips, source the metals components, and then ultimately the upkeep of the software for such a large fleet.

What does an acid trip typically feel like? Each person’s experience with acid will be different. Indeed, each trip may be different. One might be very light, but others can take a frightening and overwhelming turn. Symptoms may begin to show 20 to 90 minutesTrusted Source after taking a dose. The main episode can last several hours. Acid is a long-acting drug. It stays in the body 6 to 15 hoursTrusted Source. Most acid trips won’t last more than 9 hours. The trip During this period of “tripping” or active effects, you may begin to experience sensationalized perceptions of what’s happening around you. This can include “seeing” color or “tasting” sounds. Stationary items, like furniture, may begin to “move” or swell or shrink before your eyes. Coming down Coming down from the trip will feel like you’re gradually returning to Earth. Signs may begin to lessen in intensity. You may feel tired after getting through the hours-long trip and want to sleep. Afterglow An “afterglow” is possible for several hours after the end of the trip, too. This may feel like everything is “lighter” or “brighter” than before the trip. You may also have moments of flashbacks for several hours, even days, after the acid trip is over. Microdosing A microdose is a small dose of a psychedelic drug like LSD, often one-tenth of a normal dose. It’s sometimes used to help treat symptoms of anxiety and depression, but it’s not meant to completely encompass your day. However, little is known about the long-term effects of this practice.

This article goes over how nature can help us achieve our goal set forth by the paris climate agreement, which is to limit global temperature rise to less than 2 degrees celcius. If we are smart and careful we can use nature as our ally to help fight climate change. However if we are not so smart nature could hinder our fight with rising global temperatures and contribute ultimately to natures desctruction.

This is cool how they are now observing shark's behavior with drones. It's also a great use to show the public that we shouldn't try to wipe out something based on movies or some instances, but observe and research it instead. Dr. Eugenie Clark would be proud and excited for this use of technology!!

This is such a great read! It's so interesting to see the creative solutions people come up with. I wonder if wolves are just not a fan of metal or if any other type of music would also work. I could understand them mainly being scared of a fast flying aircraft coming towards them and not AC/DC necessarily.
