The GAN has done a good job of reproducing the sky as it appears in astrophotographs of the Milky Way, I'd say, presumably because there is fairly...

That might well serve to drive the local mice indoors in a house with no cat. My parents once lived in a tenement flat, with cat owners on the floor...

That seems likely to be part of a HLS mockup, I'm not aware of any indication it has anything to do with the prototypes.

As I mentioned in another thread, Mrs Extravoice received her second COVID vaccination shot late last week. Officially, she won't be fully...

It was current events when I was at the uni.

LOL, I've received infractions for my comments wrt selvaarchi's continued aggrandizement of China's space efforts. But this time I am on his...

I mean before the horizon, sorry...they sometimes seem to have a gap at the bottom. Maybe the few times I actually saw the Milky Way was not quite...

You could make your podcast channel about where their are rough scratches in a rock and call them runes and proving Europeans were always here. Or...

There are literally 10 cats patrolling the neighbourhood (outdoors). But every now and then -autumn- the odd mouse decides that's it's more comfy...

I haven’t been tracking it as closely, but local cases are up substantially, despite a >20% “fully vaccinated” status. I wonder if the main driver...

Perhaps the blunt nosecone spotted earlier? Which is not in the overview image.

Mrs Extravoice received her second Pfizer shot late last week. Only side effect was a sore arm and extreme fatigue the next day. She is very much...

Yep. I’ve said words to that effect and usually, with colorful embellishments. I don’t think anything in my old house is square, plumb, or...

I don’t know if he is the first to coin the term “Elon Time.” It’s not a new issue. Anyway when I first heard Elon’s estimate, I predicted it...

Er, what makes you say that? The image you attached doesn't seem to indicate anything of the sort.

I was fortunate to get a Pfizer shot early, followed by the second one 3 weeks later, and that seems like a month or two ago. I had next to NO...

Yes, it looks like either a browser or OS thing. I get the same thing in Chrome, though I can see tooltips for the blank spots and the strikethrough...

Well that's just weird. I don't see any icons in that position; just a couple of blank spaces which (when clicked) offer to wrap tags around text. No...

Looks like the LOX header tank may be moving out of the nose... https://twitter.com/_brendan_lewis/status/1380646421410377728

A Category 2 Cyclone is due to cross the W.A coast about 900 km north of Perth today. We will, almost certainly, not get any damaging winds down here...

Money trumps public health, every time.

Well, nutz. The project is to build "not-a-workbench" in the garage. I've built three support frames, one of them more complex because reasons....

If you see one mouse, you've got about a hundred times that many. Get a cat.

Wait, what? Q and @ are among the most used? I took typing in high school. I don't recall, but it was probably in the summer, because my...

Sunny and windy, all day long. I love where I live, except for the wind.

Grant Hatch Since you have now turned this thread into your advocacy of a non-mainstream idea, it is entirely your obligation to demonstrate the...
