La Paz, Bolivia is at about 13,000 feet. That’s pretty high up.

But are sockets not files?

They did this to Houston, but they did an extremely half-assed job. It was one thin layer of additional asphalt covering over the whole intersection. But you can still see the pride crosswalk peeking out from underneath at the edges.

I’m still very upset.

Especially now that the sidewalks have been defaced with hate messages, which were then blacked out with spray paint. Is there a way to get the spray paint off the concrete and go back to chalk?

Their lawyer is trying to get lower bail for them. That’s why he’s saying this stuff.

I believe the government is still trying to get remand with no bail.

Yeah. You gotta ask “what did you allegedly do?”

Used to be fabric bags. Then in the depression the flour companies realized their customers were making clothing out of the bags, so they started using cool prints for the bags.

I’ve seen these pictures attributed to USS Abraham Lincoln on some other sites.

That ship recently suffered a major supply crisis while it was on station in the middle east. The reason is that Iran was able to deny the use of all of the nearby bases with their drones and medium range missiles. Thus the US Navy resorted to resupplying Abraham Lincoln from Diego Garcia, which is thousands of miles away.

So it’s plausible to me that these are real images, and they represent a very serious problem for the navy: both in terms of total calories and in the loss of morale from low quality.

In any case, Abraham Lincoln has since been relieved, and will make a liberty port call in Thailand after 245 days at sea.

Draft age gonna change in any real war.

When I was in school, the full price of the cafeteria lunch, with 8 oz milk, was $1.25. That was very affordable, and the federal nutrition guidelines meant it wasn’t that unhealthy. Finally the actual food wasn’t actually all that unpalatable either.

Breakfast was free for everyone under a federally funded program. But I didn’t eat that because you had to show up at 6:30 am to get it.

The Atchafalaya is a distributary, not a tributary.

The FCC regulates closed captions on over the air broadcast television.

They’re not going to regulate the Internet streaming services.

D’Angelo is not impressed.

No. But they do occasionally advertise their TV and movie rental services as videos in the feeds.

If you read the chart on that Wikipedia article carefully, the estimated temperature profile is based on data from two Apollo missions.

All of the Apollo missions spent all of their surface time during the lunar morning, relatively early into the 14-day lunar day. They did this partially because the cooling systems couldn’t cope with the full heat of the day, and partially to ensure good backlighting during the landings.

So there is going to be some “diurnal” surface heating and cooling that is probably modeled but not measured.

Mathematics is a search for absolute truth, as proven from axioms.

Meanwhile, this is said about statistics: There are lies, damned lies, and statistics.

Your car radiator is actually using convection to convect heat into the air.

The spacecraft radiators use radiation to dump heat by emitting infrared photons. Photons do not require a medium. This type of radiator works by maximizing the area of hot surface exposed to empty space (which has an effective temperature of 3 K). They have to be pointed into a dark area and away from the sun. There’s no advantage to fins, because you want to maximize area perpendicular to the dark sky.

Both devices are called radiators, but they are different kinds of devices.

Solar sail effect is going to be dwarfed by regular atmospheric drag in low earth orbit. At perfect right angles the radiation pressure on the panels is 4.5 micro-Pascals. Meanwhile, in low orbit there’s enough residual atmosphere to generate a dynamic pressure (for drag) of 5 milli-Pascals, give or take (and strongly depending on the space weather).

So atmospheric drag is around 1000 times more than photon pressure. And the drag is big enough to be noticeable over weeks and months, requiring regular boosts to stay in orbit.

You could put em on the moon with a heatpump into the ground.

The interior of the moon is not super cold. You could still run a heat pump, but I don’t know what the conductivity is like.

This ruling confirms that there is no other legal path to obtain that data which isn’t a warrant.

The supreme court ruling doesn’t go this far.

The ruling says that a search occurred when LEOs obtained the geofenced location data from a service provider. The case was sent back down to the circuit court to determine whether or not a warrant was required.

There are various exceptions that allow the government to conduct warrantless searches under the 4th amendment. For example:

• the “frisk” in a Terry stop to search for weapons.
• search with consent
• search incident to arrest
• hot pursuit and exigent circumstance allow police to follow suspects into a place, but not usually to then go looking for stuff.
• searches within the (generous) border zone for border enforcement
• searches at airport security and similar contexts
• public roadway DUI checkpoints and other road safety checkpoints that stop all drivers.

It’s not obvious that any of those apply to this case, but maybe they do. The circuit court will decide.
