Some People’s Brains Can Sense Earth’s Magnetic Field
There's a pretty long catalogue of animals that appear to possess magnetoreception, or the ability tSo detect Earth's magnetic fields, including pigeons, dogs, trout, bees, turtles and salamanders. But researchers have never been able to determine if humans have this hidden superpower as well, despite decades of attempts. A provocative new study, published in the journal eNeuro suggests our brains may indeed detect magnetic fields—at least in some people, though it’s not possible to say if it affects human behavior in any way...
“It’s kind of intriguing to think that we have a sense of which we’re not consciously aware,” Hore, who was not involved in the study, says...

What year skipped 11 days and why? Here is the answer.
People on social media have noticed an odd quirk in the iPhone calendar: if you scroll back to October 1582, you’ll see it jump straight from the 4th to the 15th, skipping ten entire days. It’s not a glitch or a hidden joke from Apple’s developers; those ten days genuinely never existed.
The days weren’t erased from the passage of time using a cosmic cut-and-paste tool. Instead, people in 1582 went to bed on the 4th and woke up on the 15th (not that much of the world would have realized at the time). What Happened in October 1582? As IFLScience explained in 2023, the Catholic church adopted the Gregorian calendar in October 1582. Prior to this, most of Europe had used the Julian calendar, introduced by Julius Caesar in 45 BCE. To understand why, we must go back to the 16th century when a major shift occurred in the way we organize days, weeks, months, and years.And here is the link.

So it looks like we might get a six-foot surf but that is about it.
Now the surf is small, but we are still having those nice King high tides.
Good hunting,
