LOS COLONOS | Tráiler Oficial | Enero 25 en cines YouTube video by MUBI Latinoamérica

I also recently watched the 2023 Chilean film "Los colonos," about the genocide of the Selk'nam in Patagonia at the beginning of the 20th century, and similarly the final ten seconds just floored me in a way that was really unexpected www.youtube.com/watch?v=WDQ9...

THIS IS HUGE! Researchers at Stanford University have developed a dual-antibody treatment that remains effective against ALL SARS-CoV-2 variants by targeting a less-mutable part of the virus. This breakthrough could lead to longer-lasting therapies that OUTPACE viral evolution. 🧪🧵⬇️

I wish I could edit the post. I re-read it and it is a wonder you understood it :-)

TIL.

I use is Fongo, and Skype as fallback. I guess the downside for you is that Fongo, and possible that you can only get a Canadian number (but Canadians are as nice as kiwis :-). Getting the right add-on, you can make calls everywhere in the globe.

Good morning with good news: Chile is using wind and solar to rapidly decarbonize its grid. Wind and solar skyrocketed from 5.50% of Chile's electricity in January 2016 to 42.93% in January 2025!

Jan 2025 43%
Jan 2022 31%
Jan 2019 14%
Jan 2016 5.50%

Rapid decarbonization!

The FAA is facing a major crisis without a leader because Elon Musk pushed him out FAA chief Michael Whitaker resigned earlier this month after facing criticism from Musk.

We did not have a FAA administrator to respond to the tragic crash last night in DC. Why? Because Elon Musk pushed the head appointed under Biden to resign after he fined SpaceX for failing to follow safety license requirements. www.theverge.com/news/603113/...

en un país en que el hábito de la lectura se perdió, no es de extrañar que sólo una persona lea.

En realidad, el resto estaría pegado en sus teléfonos.

La canción fue escrita en un momento en que la mayor inmigración es caucásica. La xenofobia chilena está arraigada en el clasismo y racismo.

A Dutch study on the relationship between spending and visitors’ choice of transportation showed that, on a monthly basis, cyclists and pedestrians contribute about 25% more to total spending in centres than car users. dutchcycling.nl/knowledge/bl...

This sounds like the current Canadian policy.

"[…] voters who […] think that problems like finding it difficult to see a doctor or buy a house are because of immigration. Cutting immigration is only likely to make those problems worse, by stopping doctors or construction workers coming to the UK"

Predictive text models do not ever "answer your question"

They predict what an answer to your question would probably look like.

Which is very, very, very different
