"A study of real-world crash data released Tuesday by the #Insurance Institute for #Highway Safety shows that higher #speeds are more likely to cause serious injuries in #pedestrian crashes, regardless of vehicle height. The risks are amplified for #vehicles with taller front end….The majority of vehicles sold in the U.S. are now #SUVs and light #trucks, which can have front ends that are often 40 inches or taller. ” https://www.npr.org/2024/12/10/nx-s1-5222277/taller-vehicles-are-more-dangerous-to-pedestrians-even-at-low-speeds-research-finds

When the #moon 
first formed some 4.5 billion years ago, the day 
was less than 10 hours 
long. But since then, the moon’s gravitational pull on the #Earth 
has been #slowing our planet’s rotation. The #sun's 
gravity #speeds it up. https://www.utoronto.ca/news/astrophysicists-reveal-why-earths-day-was-constant-over-billion-years
5 Jul 2023 Fossil data record the number of days per year or, equivalently, the number of hours per day. Interactions with the #Moon and with the other #planets 
drive changes. #Lunar tides have been active since at least 3.2 billion years ago. There were about 27 #Solar days per synodic month around 3000 Ma https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/sciadv.add2499
University of TorontoFor a billion years, Earth's day lasted just 19.5 hours – a new study reveals whyA team of astrophysicists from the University of Toronto has revealed how the slow and steady lengthening of Earth’s day caused by the tidal pull of the moon was halted for over a billion years. They show that from approximately two billion years ago until 600 million years ago, an atmospheric tide driven by the sun countered the effect of the moon, keeping Earth’s rotational rate steady and the length of day at a constant 19.5 hours. Without this billion-year pause in the slowing of our planet’s rotation, our current 24-hour day would stretch to over 60 hours.

Ookla speed tests showed #Starlink #speeds dropping again in Q3 2022. Median download speed in the US is about half what it was at the end of 2021.
Starlink's median US #download speed hit 105Mbps in Q4 2021. It dropped to 90.6Mbps in Q1 2022, 62.5Mbps in Q2 2022, and 53Mbps in the Q3 2022 report released on Wednesday.
