Reply to TIL there is a machine for cancer diagnosis from your poop noises, called Synthetic Human Acoustic Reproduction Testing, or SHART by chockychockster
I swear half of the work on technology like this is just making the name into a good acronym.

While you can learn it as a hobby, I did go to college for it and worked more or less for 90 hours a week for 2 years straight.

There is a lot that goes into it. There's an entire branch of science called hydrogeology that is quite complex. There is a lot of high level math involved in being able to accurately predict groundwater flow.

Reply to comment by No-Neighborhood2152 in TIL the US federal government captures and sells excess wild horses to the public by MoistCoyote
Where my parents live it seems like everyone has a horse. Not as a beloved family pet, or to ride, or to work. Just to have.
You've never seen more horses standing listlessly in fields that are too small for them. No shelter in those fields. No other horses. Out of eyeline from the houses usually too.
I'd rather eat a horse than see those horses "live" like they do
