  1. Some concerning changes are impacting the waters around #Bermuda.

    After 40 years of tracking, scientists have noticed that the #Atlantic #Ocean surrounding the archipelago is warming and losing #oxygen, as well as becoming increasingly #salty and #acidic. These observations give a sense of the rate of change in the recent past of ocean warming and ocean chemistry. They provide key indications of future changes in the next decades.

  2. I really love the #Alien #movie #scifi franchise. Some of the best #space #horror yet.

    But I kinda have a #problem. A small problem, really: Conservation of Mass.

    How does a #chestburster grow into a full-sized baddy without eating its weight in #prey?

    Also, it has an #exoskeleton -- where are the molted shells?

    And what nutrients could it get from its food to get #blood that #acidic?

    OK, OK, fine, 3 small problems. Three biggish small problems, Suspension of Disbelief notwithstanding.
