I’m terrified of Maron. So the whole time I talk to him I’m like, “If he insults me I’m going to say, ‘I’m going to be a millionaire by making an app that skips the first 10 minutes of your podcast.’

Emperor penguins become first creatures to be counted from space

The first census of a entire species using satellite images reveals double the number of the birds, meaning the impact of climate change can be monitored far more accurately.

The new research, using very high resolution satellite images, has revealed almost double the number of Emperor penguins living in Antarctica - 595,000 birds - compared to the last survey in 1992

The work revealed seven previously unknown colonies and analysed 44 colonies in total. The study, conducted by scientists at the British Antarctic Survey and international colleagues, is published in the journal PloS ONE.

The science teams were able to differentiate between birds, ice, shadow and penguin guano (droppings) by using a digital technique called pan-sharpening. Scientists then used population counts on the ground and detailed aerial photography to calibrate the analysis of the satellite images.

Being able to assess the total number of birds from space is valuable because the penguins breed in remote and often inaccessible areas, with temperatures as low as -50°C, and so are very hard to study on the ground.

Cool.

My dick. It does the job.

My dick. It does the job.

I am a male 35. I hold no beliefs in the supernatural, deities, and any woo. I cannot say I know that these things are not possible or real. But as it stands now I remain skeptical till evidence is presented. I feel like a stranger.

I don’t know. And neither do you. If you accept the current consensus science presents of the reality we reside, then you understand our place. We have none. No place in the whole scheme of things that has any noticeable affect on the universe.

This may seem a hopeless and cold view on life. It is in a way. No more hopeless than any western idea of pasteurized Christianity. The idea of a heaven and all that it entails fills me with dread. Paved streets of gold, mansions for everyone, no fear or sadness. Just a eternity of unyielding happiness worshiping at the feet of a loving god whom loves you do deeply that you either love him and blindly obey his every whim or burn in the molten lakes of hell forever. Oh boy! sign me up.

This and many other issues I have with man made fiction dressed up and sold to a willing populous. A scared and undereducated mass of frustrated and overstimulated bodies. Righteous in there ignorance, and fueled with Mt. Dew and bigotry.

Or I don’t know what the fuck I am talking about. I could be a huge douche. A post-modern middle class asshole with a skewed sense of reality. Maybe, maybe. This is all possible.

The one thing I do know is I live here now. So lets fuckin party get nude and have fun. Let us now be us now.

Why not join me…
