@wrx7m the award still applies.
That's like getting hit by a bus because you walked when you were supposed to stop at the crosswalk.
Not debating that they are idiots. Just stating that I have seen people eat shit because they were walking and not paying attention to anything outside their phone.

Polar vortex brings deadly cold snap to US states
Cities are all but shutting down across the US Midwest as the region shivers in a deadly cold snap known as a polar vortex.
At least seven people have been killed in several states as a result of the arctic weather.
Temperatures fell to -30C (-22F) in Chicago - colder than parts of Antarctica - and -37C in North Dakota.
Freezing weather will chill 250 million Americans, and 90 million will experience -17C (0F) or below.

Earth’s magnetic field nearly died during critical transition
Late formation of the inner core might have revived magnetic field.
Although you’ll never visit the core, it does affect your life quite profoundly. Earth’s magnetic field is produced by the convection of the liquid outer core, and that directs compasses and shields us from the effects of the solar wind. The history of Earth’s magnetic field is a big question—not least because we’re actually not sure when the inner core solidified.

More mysterious brain injuries in Cuba; Canada halves staff after new case
Cuba fumes that Canada's actions "do not help find answers."
The Canadian government announced Wednesday that it will halve the number of diplomats at its embassy in Cuba after a 14th Canadian has mysteriously fallen ill with brain injuries there.
The latest case from December suggests that the enigmatic incidents—which began in late 2016 and have been considered by the US government to be attacks—are still ongoing, straining relations between Cuba and the US, and now Cuba and Canada.

Weird. Falling ill with brain injuries? I usually attribute an injury some sort of physical trauma.
