Now making the rounds on social media, racking up hundreds of thousands of "likes," is this false claim: "Local authorities in Russia's Kamchatka Peninsula have declared a state of emergency after an exceptionally severe snowstorm buried neighbourhoods, triggered rooftop avalanches, and caused fatalities. Snow accumulation ranged from 3 to 12 metres, engulfing buildings, blocking roads, and covering vehicles and entrances, with some residential areas nearly buried under towering snowdrifts." The claim was accompanied by AI-generated images: Folks, 12 meters is nearly 40 feet.

What's shown in the photo is drifts well over a hundred feet. In fact, seven feet of snow fell on the city.

While that's not nothing— two people did in fact die —it's not even close to the claims and images above.

Is it a problem that steering wheels are circular? Peugeot's designers, like Tesla's, seem to think so.

The French marque's Polygon concept features a new "Hypersquare" steering wheel, which they refer to as a "new ergonomic approach." The company says that by modulating the ratio between the speed the car is traveling and how far the wheels turn, the new interface offers "effortless handling in every situation." The idea is that at high speeds, the ratio is normal, i.e. only small movements are required to say, change highway lanes.

But at slow speeds, each degree you turn the wheel—or whatever the hell we have to call it now—turns the wheels much further. The maximum rotation in these low-speed situations is 170°.

In Dublin, Ireland is the Explorium , a/k/a the National Sport and Science Centre. This is a family-friendly facility that features hands-on activities to teach kids and adults about science.

In addition to featuring a Lightning Room with a gigantic Tesla coil, a Robotics Arena and a VR Zone where you can walk around with life-sized dinosaurs, there are physical activities where participants can run, jump and climb. The interactive exhibit that teaches about centripetal/centrifugal force is rather novel.

Called G-Force Bike, it consists of a bicycle you can ride through a full vertical loop. "When you cycle fast enough, the inward-pointing force overcomes gravity, allowing you to complete the loop safely," the Explorium explains.
