Where is a self-service coffee shop without any control?

In the American town of Valley City, in the state of North Dakota, the coffee house "The Vault" has opened, operating on the principle of self-service and without any control. Visitors are invited to choose a drink, pastry, calculate the amount to pay and pay in cash or by card.

Paintings are also for sale here, also on the principle of honesty of clients, and there are many shelves with books to read over a cup of coffee.

Random interesting fact from the Great Encyclopedia:

Are lizards poisonous?

There are few animals in the world that would have such a frightening appearance as some lizards! And yet, of over 2500 lizard species, only two are truly venomous. This is a gila-tooth living in the deserts of America, and a beaded lizard from Mexico. Lizards are close relatives of snakes and, like snakes, they are reptiles with scaly skin.

However, unlike snakes, their long body can be divided into three parts: head, torso and tail. Most species have four legs. With such a variety of lizard species, we can naturally meet many exceptions. For example, some lizards do not have legs at all and are absolutely similar to snakes. They have a fair amount of strength, which helps them defend themselves from enemies. They can drop their tail! This often saves them when some enemy stops to grab them by the tail. Subsequently, the lizard grows a new tail!

Although most lizards are born from eggs, there are species that are born alive. Most lizards feed on insects, but some species feed on birds and small animals. Most often, lizards are found in the tropics, but in general they live all over the world, except for the Arctic. Wherever lizards live, they perfectly adapt to the environment. For example, those lizards that live in grass or trees are brightly colored, while those that live in the desert are dark gray or brown to blend in with the sand.

The chameleon, which also belongs to the lizards, can even change its color depending on the environment. Lizards have a wide variety of sizes. One of the Central American lizard species is no more than 8 centimeters in length.

There is another species called "lizard", and its representatives reach 2 meters in length. In India, there are lizards, which are called "dragons", the length of which can reach up to 3 meters. They are a truly awesome sight! These dragons can easily kill a fairly large animal with a single blow of the tail. Lizards love to bask in the sun. Therefore, those of them that live in places with a cool climate simply fall asleep for the winter, hiding somewhere from the cold.

Machine for thinning flowers in gardens 02.05.2024

In modern agriculture, technological progress is developing aimed at increasing the efficiency of plant care processes. The innovative Florix flower thinning machine was presented in Italy, designed to optimize the harvesting stage. This tool is equipped with mobile arms, allowing it to be easily adapted to the needs of the garden. The operator can adjust the speed of the thin wires by controlling them from the tractor cab using a joystick. This approach significantly increases the efficiency of the flower thinning process, providing the possibility of individual adjustment to the specific conditions of the garden, as well as the variety and type of fruit grown in it. After testing the Florix machine for two years on various types of fruit, the results were very encouraging. Farmers such as Filiberto Montanari, who has used a Florix machine for several years, have reported a significant reduction in the time and labor required to thin flowers. ... >>

Advanced Infrared Microscope 02.05.2024

Microscopes play an important role in scientific research, allowing scientists to delve into structures and processes invisible to the eye. However, various microscopy methods have their limitations, and among them was the limitation of resolution when using the infrared range. But the latest achievements of Japanese researchers from the University of Tokyo open up new prospects for studying the microworld. Scientists from the University of Tokyo have unveiled a new microscope that will revolutionize the capabilities of infrared microscopy. This advanced instrument allows you to see the internal structures of living bacteria with amazing clarity on the nanometer scale. Typically, mid-infrared microscopes are limited by low resolution, but the latest development from Japanese researchers overcomes these limitations. According to scientists, the developed microscope allows creating images with a resolution of up to 120 nanometers, which is 30 times higher than the resolution of traditional microscopes. ... >>

Air trap for insects 01.05.2024

Agriculture is one of the key sectors of the economy, and pest control is an integral part of this process. A team of scientists from the Indian Council of Agricultural Research-Central Potato Research Institute (ICAR-CPRI), Shimla, has come up with an innovative solution to this problem - a wind-powered insect air trap. This device addresses the shortcomings of traditional pest control methods by providing real-time insect population data. The trap is powered entirely by wind energy, making it an environmentally friendly solution that requires no power. Its unique design allows monitoring of both harmful and beneficial insects, providing a complete overview of the population in any agricultural area. “By assessing target pests at the right time, we can take necessary measures to control both pests and diseases,” says Kapil ... >>
