It was the first insect in the United States that we know for certain was driven to extinction by human activity. It vanished forever from the San Francisco sand dunes in the early 1940s. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1761274209.jpg http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1761274209.jpg Children of a miner on the back porch of their home, for which they pay $5.25 monthly rent plus $0.90 for electricity, Bell County, Kentucky, 1945. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1761274209.jpg Stagecoach in Routt County, Colorado.

In 1947, after receiving permission from his mother (since he was not yet 18 years old), Steve McQueen enlisted in the United States Marine Corps. He was sent to Parris Island for boot camp. He was promoted to private first class and assigned to an armored unit. He initially struggled with conforming to the discipline of the service, and was demoted to private seven times. He took an unauthorized absence, going UA by failing to return after a weekend pass expired. He was caught by the shore patrol while staying with a girlfriend (Barbara Ross) for two weeks. After resisting arrest, he was sentenced to 41 days in the brig. After this, McQueen resolved to focus his energies on self-improvement and embraced the Marines' discipline. He saved the lives of five other Marines during an Arctic exercise, pulling them from a tank before it broke through ice into the sea. He was assigned to the honor guard responsible for guarding the presidential yacht of US President Harry Truman. McQueen served until 1950, when he was honorably discharged.

Survivors of Big Foot’s band sit solemnly at a Native American camp—children wrapped in blankets, women standing behind them, and one woman carrying a child on her back. A line of teepees behind them marks what remains of their home.

http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1761337159.jpg During the Korean War, the USS Wisconsin was struck by a North Korean 155mm shell. The hit barely scratched the ship but what came next became legend. The crew unleashed all nine 16 inch Mark 7 guns at once, obliterating the enemy battery in seconds. A brutal reminder: never wake a sleeping giant. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1761337159.jpg In a landmark breakthrough published in Nature, Google’s Willow quantum chip has achieved the first verifiable quantum advantage in history. Running an algorithm called Quantum Echoes, Willow completed complex atomic simulations 13,000 times faster than one of the world’s fastest supercomputers. This means quantum processors are finally performing tasks that classical machines cannot replicate, marking a pivotal moment in computing history. Could this be the beginning of the true quantum era? http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1761337159.jpg http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1761337159.jpg http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1761337159.jpg |

Visitors at the Columbus Zoo were stunned when a chimpanzee nearly perfected juggling after a week of watching a street performer practice inside the park. The juggler had been entertaining guests daily, tossing colorful balls in front of the chimp’s enclosure. By the end of the week, the chimp was copying the act, tossing rocks and sticks with surprising skill. When asked about it, the juggler laughed and said, “Most people have to worry about AI taking their jobs. Turns out I have to worry about chimps.” http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1761419695.jpg |
