When the Mendocino earthquake ruptured off the California coast in 2024, it shook houses off their foundations, sent a 3-inch tsunami racing toward shore and touched off a fascinating science experiment — in the server room of a local police station, of all places. More than two years before the quake, scientists installed a device called a “distributed acoustic sensing …

The Rashee Rice case creates bad optics for the league
In sports, like in politics, people have their favorite teams. In sports, like in politics, people will apply double standards and embrace hypocrisies, all in the name of circling the wagons around their biases and rooting interests. That’s absolutely happening in the Rashee Rice case. Fans of the Chiefs are quick to attack the notion that Rice and the Chiefs …
