RE: https://mastodon.social/@esoastronomy/116844620404236120 Ok well maybe my hideous SpaceX million sat simulations *aren't* wrong. I just couldn't believe it was that bad. But yeah, this is pretty much what I get too.

A plane struck a drone at 3000 feet in New Jersey. Some say it was seen still flying when a helicopter went to go look for it but perhaps it was a second drone. The comment about a Russian VIP landing at the same time is true but this has long been an issue so I take all the conjecture with a […]

People talking about Faraday bags as general countermeasures to phone surveillance, which they definitely are not. They have a very limited role in personal "opsec". Do you need one? Probably not. But if you DO need one, make sure it actually works, and that you understand what it does and […]

They include a) refrigerants with less GHG impacts, b) reduction in refrigerant leaks throughout the supply chain, from manufacturing to transport to disposal, & of course, most of all, c) decarbonizing the electricity sources that power AC. More on all that here:

As the 250th Anniversary of our country approaches I encourage you to reflect on the Americans who came before who deserve a greater place in the stories we tell of our history.
