2+ hour, 21+ min ago (359+ words) A quiet fissure in southern Nevada has revealed a climate record that few expected to find in a desert. Researchers have uncovered 580,000 years of shifting weather from a single calcite deposit hidden inside Devils Hole. Devils Hole Offers Rare Climate HistoryClimate scientists usually use long ice cores from Antarctica. These cores hold steady layers across many kilometres of depth. Hot and dry regions seldom preserve such lengthy records. Devils Hole proved to be a rare exception for researchers. The region once supported mammoths, bison, ground sloths and dire wolves. These species lived more comfortably during cooler glacial stretches. Warming periods likely pushed some animals further north over time. Devils Hole already held value due to its long mineral layers. Groundwater has flowed through the cave for hundreds of thousands of years. The core is analysed soon after its removal from…...

13+ hour, 6+ min ago (994+ words) Last summer, I found myself wandering the neon-lit streets of Las Vegas at 2 a.m., craving sushi and nostalgia in equal measure. That's when I stumbled into an all-you-can-eat sushi joint with velvet booths and a glowing fish tank that looked straight out of 1985. Nevada's retro sushi scene is alive and thriving, serving up endless rolls alongside that classic Vegas charm we all secretly love. Walking into Sushi Neko feels like stepping through a time portal where disco balls meet dragon rolls. The mirrored walls and plush red seating scream old-school Vegas, while the endless parade of California rolls and spicy tuna keeps your belly happy. I once ate seventeen pieces here before admitting defeat. The staff didn't judge'they just smiled and brought more wasabi. Located in Las Vegas' Chinatown, this spot features a more modern Japanese d'cor rather than retro interiors,…...
