Facebook Thread Of The Year of the Day: A girl gets a tattoo of her boyfriend’s face on her arm. He calls her “branded cattle” and breaks up with her.
Yeah, you’re going to want to read the whole thing.

When you’re scientifically literate, the world looks different to you. It’s a particular way of questioning what you see and hear. When empowered by this state of mind, objective realities matter. These are the truths of the world that exist outside of whatever your belief system tells you.
One objective reality is that our government doesn’t work, not because we have dysfunctional politicians, but because we have dysfunctional voters. As a scientist and educator, my goal, then, is not to become President and lead a dysfunctional electorate, but to enlighten the electorate so they might choose the right leaders in the first place.
“Structural batteries” could change the way electricity is stored.
A new technique developed by BAE Systems could be set to revolutionize electrical technology, by allowing electrical energy to be stored in the structure of a device.
To develop this technology, scientists at BAE Systems merged battery chemistries into composite materials that can be moulded into complex 3D shapes and so form the structure of the device itself. It can then be plugged in when it needs recharging or utilise renewable power sources, such as solar energy.
The technology was initially conceived with the idea that it could form the structure of a soldiers backpack, to lighten the load of additional batteries. Now it has also been demonstrated in a high tech micro unmanned air vehicle, as well as in a prototype electric vehicle which is aiming to become the world’s fastest electric racing car.
