Love’s just made it a little easier for truckers to get a shower
One of the best feelings after being all sweaty for hours on the road is that refreshing hot shower. But sometimes you have to wait! For jobs that are highly time sensitive, no one wants that!
The Love’s Connect app has updated with a new feature that will allow truckers to check when the “busy times” are for showers at every Love’s location, so drivers can take a look when they’re near one, or they can plan a trip around hitting a Love’s at a non-busy time.
There’s a New Love’s Location that Just Opened
Related to the shower app news, Love’s just added a new location
There’s a New Love’s Location that just opened in southern Texas on July 8. It’s in Brownsville near Highway 511 and Highway 48, and it has 39 parking spots as well as a Chester Chicken and a Godfather’s Pizza. This one has 4 showers in it.
One of the nation’s largest car haulers files for bankruptcy

Longtern cryobiosis is the term of the day as some worms born around 42,000 years ago in Siberia are wiggling around again.
The worms are roundworms called Nematodes.
According to the Russian researchers, who worked in collab with Princeton U’s Department of Geosciences, “We have obtained the first data demonstrating the capability of multicellular organisms for longterm cryobiosis in permafrost deposits of the Arctic.”
Scientific research paper at Springer: “Viable Nematodes from Late Pleistocene Permafrost of the Kolyma River Lowland” >
“After being defrosted, the nematodes showed signs of life. They started moving and eating.”
There are two worms that are back in action. One is 42,000 years old and the other only 32,000.
Mdou Moctar (b. 1986) is a Tuareg songwriter and musician based in Agadez, Niger, and is one of the first musicians to perform modern electronic adaptations of Tuareg guitar music. He first became famous through a subtle trading network of cellphones and memory cards in West Africa.
Mdou Moctar is a popular wedding performer and sings about Islam, education, love and peace in Tamasheq. He plays a left-handed Fender in a takamba and assouf style. He is originally from Abalak and has also lived in Tchintabaraden and Libya.
Moctar says that in Agadez, guitar is like football in Brazil: Only about 10% don’t play. His first guitar was one he made himself as a kid with a box and the cable from a bicycle brake.
The language he sings in is of a Berber language family called “Tamachiq,” more frequently called “Taureg” in the West.

On the Maxing Out of Attacks and Noise - Jerry Seinfeld
When Seinfeld was asked last month by AP about whether being attacked (legally or critically), he gave the following comment:
“Not really, because there’s so many voices that they kind of cancel each other out.
“It seems to me that every single person, everywhere, is under attack of their comments section of whatever they think or whatever they said. So to me it has no impact. Because it’s too much noise. It’s all just noise that everybody drowns each other out, so I don’t really worry about it.”
He used to be a guitarist for Big Business, and now is most familiar to music listeners for his collabs with the Melvins.
In his Sound of Sirens studio, he showed EarthQuakerDevices (yes, the guitar pedal company) this effects rack.
He has shelves of pedals, not all hooked up, but on top there’s that patch bay, so it’s easy for him to run cords in and out of any pedal he’s recording.
