2022-06-16 13:00:02 The British startup Air Company makes vodka from carbon dioxide emissions.

The carbon dioxide is drawn from the air near industrial facilities. It is then combined with hydrogen from electrolysis, a process that uses electricity to separate water into hydrogen and oxygen. After further fusion of CO2 and hydrogen, ethanol is obtained, which, when combined with water, becomes vodka.

However, the result is not cheap; a bottle of Air Vodka costs $65.

2022-06-15 20:00:03 Indie developer Dan DeEntremont is single-handedly creating a killer squirrel game on Unreal Engine 5. The squirrel is already able to move around the level, pick up several types of weapons and shoot enemies with them.

According to the author, the game will have realistic physics, due to which the rodent is pushed back when shooting, and the recoil effect of the weapon allows the squirrel to move over obstacles. When the shooter will be released is still unknown.
