Before you all get mad that this is about sports, there's a lot of discussion of the science of women's athletics, such as

It was fitted by Prof Joanna Wakefield-Scurr, from the University of Portsmouth, who proudly goes by the nickname the Bra Professor.

Here are her breast facts:

*Breasts can bounce an average of 11,000 times in a football match

*An average bounce is 8cm (3in) without appropriate support

*They move with up to 5G of force (five times the force of gravity), comparable to the experience of a Formula 1 driver

Laboratory experiments – using motion sensors on the chest – have revealed how a shifting mass of breast tissue alters the movement of the rest of the body, and in turn, sporting performance.

 

Teams of scientists are researching the unique ways that elite sport affects the female body – how breasts alter the way you run, but the right sports bra could give you the edge; how the menstrual cycle could impact performance and what role period trackers could play; and why is there a higher risk of some injuries, and what can be done to avoid them?

WebGPU has been in Chrome since version 113, and Safari has plans to release it this fall.

From the article

This modern graphics API provides web apps with direct access to a device’s GPU, unlocking way more power than older web graphics tech like WebGL.

To put it simply, WebGPU enables smoother gaming, richer visualizations, and faster local computation within the browser.

For developers eager to dive in, there’s a solid WebGPU tutorial, a collection of WebGPU Samples to experiment with, and full API documentation over at MDN. The tech itself is backed by two W3C standards—WebGPU and WGSL—both of which Mozilla has helped shape since 2017.

The question is, "Will he continue voting for the party that did this, despite 'not supporting Trump'"

Because the moderate Republicans are leaving the government, and it's the MAGA Republicans that remain. For example, Republican Sen. Thom Tillis voted against the BBB, but then made the announcement that he would not be running for re-election. And why? The Super PACs would have punished him.

So the 2% party, if he tries really hard.

With few exceptions,[1] the U.S. system has two major parties which have won, on average, 98% of all state and federal seats.[2] According to Duverger's law two main political parties emerge in political systems with plurality voting in single-member districts. In this case, votes for minor parties can potentially be regarded splitting votes away from the most similar major party.[2][3]

It tells you, "DHS’s Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) offers cybersecurity best practices for securing US networks."

CISA workforce cut by nearly one-third so far

The agency has lost roughly 1,000 staffers in the wake of the Trump administration’s workforce cuts.
