I see the latest thing making the rounds and I raise you

"The cone contains the probably path of the storm center but does not show the size of the storm. Hazardous conditions can occur outside of the cone" see also: "Why Beryl Will Impact Texas Sooner Than You Think" weather.com/storms/hurri...

Beryl is gonna mess things up all week (in the Caribbean)

Obligatory image: so what's the difference between a weather advisory storm "watch" vs a storm "warning"

Hell, Bill, I wanted President Warren but "the party" has its own brain and once that apparatus and machinery settles for the 'safe' candidate that's what we're all gonna get.

Musk is gonna steal the ISS after getting paid a billion to crash it. He's already got an operative in place.

The $843 million "US Deorbit Vehicle" will dock at the International Space Station in 2029 and then ensure the large facility makes a controlled reentry through Earth's atmosphere before splashing into the ocean in 2030

NASA will pay SpaceX nearly $1 billion to deorbit the International Space Stationarstechnica.com The space agency did consider alternatives to splashing the station.

Best has to be:

"recognize you make a fan-oriented media product and good business practice means you should probably at least pretend to care about the fans. Or even think like them. Briefly. I know this isn’t your wheelhouse but this is expertise you can hire" rocketbomber.com/2023/09/08/c...

recycling an older blog rocketbomber.com/2023/09/08/c... because once again, a media co. has decided to drop a whole season of a critically acclaimed tv show all at once. "how you release the show depends on how you want it to *hit* your audience and what you want your audience to *do* with it."

mmmmm let me just settle in with some saturday morning cartoons and a big bowl of just the marshmallow bits

yes, hexagons again. (love the damn things to be perfectly honest) Thinking of a different approach to hex crawls though. this is more of a node map (or decision tree) -- players can still pick any landmark to head toward but the GM will know (will have built) the structure underneath #ttrpg #dnd

lookit that little mystery machine! I want one, in those colors.

Since I was on a nostalgia trip earlier today, I thought to check Maltin & see if the old movie guides are still available/still in print Yes! But. 'The Modern Era' was last updated in 2015. That actually... isn't too bad? I should buy these just to have hard copies.

This is it. No, not the big white classical looking building, that's something different. The Amtrak Station is the shed above the tracks, next to 15 lanes of interstate. THAT'S IT. It's not hiding anything, there's nothing under it You might see why proponents of rail might be looking to upgrade.

some weekend I'm going to find out how these peripherals show up in windows settings as devices and if they can be hacked and end up spending like $500 just to have banks of switches and red LED 8-segment displays on my pc desk www.logitechg.com/en-us/produc...
