Ok I’m going to have to find a copy of this somewhere.

What's a skill that's taken for granted where you live, but is often missing in people moving there from abroad?

I was thinking about that when I was dropping my 6 year old off at some hobbies earlier - it’s pretty much expected to have learned how to ride a bicycle before starting school, and it massively expands the area you can go to by yourself. When she went to school by bicycle she can easily make a detour via a shop to spend some...

Was a bit of a learning curve for me, having moved from subtropical Florida to Colorado the land of eternal winter. I bought a Subaru.

When I first moved here I thought to myself,”Damn there are a lot of Subarus here.”. The reason became abundantly clear during my first winter here lol.

The original moon landing programs at NASA. I massively nerd out over Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo.

The Gemini 8 mission was very nearly a disaster if it weren’t for Armstrong’s exceptional piloting skills. Gemini 8 was scheduled to rendezvous with an unmanned Agena rocket and dock in Earth orbit. The Agena had been a problematic vehicle so the default if anything went wrong was to assume it was the Agena and to decouple. In this case, after Gemini docked successfully, both craft started gyrating in an unexpected manner. Armstrong decouples from the Agena and the movement gets worse (a maneuvering thruster was stuck open) and the Gemini starts to violently spin, which ultimately would have been fatal to Armstrong and Scott. Armstrong realizes they’re in danger and fires the reentry retros, slowing the Gemini craft and aborting the mission early but saving both himself as well as astronaut David Scott.

I honestly couldn’t say but I know what scene you’re talking about! NASA has Col. John Stapp to thank for a lot of knowledge about the effects of acceleration on the human body. The “fastest man on Earth” was a career Air Force flight surgeon who worked on Project Manhigh. He often put himself into the rocket sled they used to observe how acceleration and deceleration affected the human body, surviving a 38g deceleration. He was temporally blind for some time after that because of bleeding into his retinas.

I just finished re-reading the entire Expanse series and fell back on an old friend, Harry Dresden. Going to put that Weir book on my list though. I really enjoyed The Martian so I’d like to explore more of his work.

The book is very good as well! Additionally, for me anyway, it doesn’t spark the internal struggle of, “The book/movie was better!”.

Texas wants Planned Parenthood to repay millions of dollars (apnews.com)

The case now before him in America’s biggest red state does not surround abortion, which has been banned in Texas since the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade last year. But Planned Parenthood argues the attempt to recoup at least $17 million in Medicaid payments for health services, including cancer screenings, is a...

These were my favorite parts

“Last year, Paxton said it was “unthinkable that Planned Parenthood would continue to take advantage of funding knowing they were not entitled to keep it.”

And

“Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, who is now temporarily suspended from office pending the outcome of his impeachment trial next month over accusations of bribery and abuse of office.”

The tech actually cracked a joke somewhat like that at the vet lol. But they love her there she’s honestly a sweet, talkative cuddle bug unlike her sister Abaddon, who doesn’t seem to like anyone but me and dares you to fuck around and find out.

Who in their right fucking mind thinks letting teenagers work at landfills, meat processing plants, and logging companies is a good idea?! I think the record clearly shows that teenagers don’t always make the best damn decisions. Jesus wept this shit is insanity.

Texas troopers told to push children into Rio Grande, deny water to migrants, records say (www.houstonchronicle.com)

WASHINGTON — Officers working for Gov. Greg Abbott’s border security initiative have been ordered to push small children and nursing babies back into the Rio Grande, and have been told not to give water to asylum seekers even in extreme heat, according to an email from a Department of Public Safety trooper who described the...

At least one of them has a conscience. Texas you continue to reinforce my belief that you are a shitty place run by evil people. Jesus wept, these are human beings were talking about here.

I don’t understand why people turn a blind eye to this. Am I naive? Yeah, probably. Am I missing the shades of grey in a many layered and complicated geopolitical situation? Certainly. But what, and I cannot stress this enough, the fuck? How does this continue to be ok?
