Liked this Twitter thread from Katie Mack. Right now, in the center of the Sun, there's a nuclear reaction converting hydrogen to helium, producing neutrinos, photons, & positrons. A neutrino from this reaction will pass through you just over eight minutes from now. The photons won't arrive for...

Yeah, he's helming an agency spending billions ordering space capsules, while Musk is on a trajectory to be crusing around in starships. NASA announced Monday it will order at least six reusable Orion crew capsules from Lockheed Martin for $4.6 billion to fly astronauts to the vicinity of the...

Down 20 lbs now in 2 weeks, and im just miserable. Cut BP meds in half to help with the light headedness. Went from walking 3+ miles a day w/ coworkers before starting meds to needing a break walking in from my car. Doc says I'll get over this 'in a couple weeks'. Vitals are largely...

The left handle of this controller... !

whynotboth.gif. Really though I don't care, I just want us to keep progressing. Mars, Moon, whatever. I'm 40, I want to see as much of this future as I can.

Because science. You can make methane and liquid oxygen fuel on Mars, the constraints are power and amount of water ice that's available iirc.

So in 11 days im down 14 lbs and have had an average blood sugar of 115 (106-126). But I have no energy to handle this Monday slate staring at me. I'm motivated though, even if I'm all glassy eyed and complete sentances seem occasionally challenging as my body gets used to less blood sugar /...

8.2.5 hits next week.

Time to start adulting better, or 3 months from now I'll be on insulin. - Vitamin D - Lisinopril - Jardiance - Metaformin - Atorvastatin

New research suggests there are probably hundreds of billions of planets just in our own galaxy. This is based off a sample of red dwarfs that appear on average to have 2-3 planets per system. https://www.syfy.com/syfywire/red-dwarfs-tiny-faint-and-loaded-with-planets

Yes. Slowly working on flying. I do the Mechagon and Nazjatar dailies like twice a week.

I love this quote and have used it quite a bit characterizing how serious this.

Yeah, I've already lost like 6 lbs with the food changes and being more active in the last week, and don't get my official diagnosis/treatment plan until tomorrow afternoon (just can see my blood test online). Lots of veggies, beans, some fruit, turkey sandwiches w/ sandwich thins and regular...

Here's Io transiting Jupiter from Cassini some time ago: Now here's a similar event, from Juno's perspective: More data/reprojections can be found here: =PERIJOVE+22"]JunoCam : Processing | Mission Juno

What are people using these days? I've got a set of Companion 5s that are driving me nuts. They go into standby when there hasn't been any audio for a couple minutes because I'm controlling them through a mixer instead of the PC.

glucose 260, a1c 10%. You guys w/ diabetus have favorite app(s) or anything? Go Thursday for followup / treatment options.

Avalanche on Mars. Avalanche Season on Mars

Here's Curiosity doing some drilling on Mars.

Water has been detected in the atmosphere of an exoplanet in the habitable zone of it's star. https://nouvelles.umontreal.ca/en/article/2019/09/11/water-detected-on-an-exoplanet-located-in-its-star-s-habitable-zone/

EA launched a cloud streaming technical test tonight. Signup for their community testing (stuff like the new PvZ was tested through this recently) here: https://myaccount.ea.com/cp-ui/communityplaytesting/index Medium about the cloud test: Verge about it: EA’s cloud gaming service is...

Launch trailer.

They are both on Xbox Game Pass FWIW.

What a shit show in Oakland. Antonio Brown got into it with Mike Mayock after he published his fine letter, Brown had to be held back, threatened to punch him in the face and punted a football and said 'fine me for that'. Now the Raiders are going to suspend him, which makes his 2019 salary...

Yeah only just got into Gears 4 hode mode over the last couple weekends, was a lot of fun. Will be playing a lot of Gears 5 I think. For Origin Premier subs: - FIFA up, releases next week - New Plants vs Zombies game is live

Reworked Steam library coming on the 17th. https://www.polygon.com/2019/9/4/20849185/steam-library-events-labs-updates

Yeah, I already own so much of their library, it's hard to justify for just the catalog. I am interested enough in their regular releases though to give a shot for now. This would be the first sub I drop if gaming time or interest decreases, just less value than Origin / Game Pass for me...

Should we generic up the title of this thread a little and have just one for updates to Origin / UPlay+ / Game Pass (and later perhaps Stadia, Xcloud, etc) ? UPlay+ is entering it's free trial month today. You can try Ubisoft's Uplay+ gaming subscription for free today The Uplay+ service...

Looking forward to watching teams try and cover Tyreek Hill, Sammy Watkins, Mecole Hardman, Travis Kelce and LeSean McCoy every down this year in Kansas City.

LeSean McCoy reunited with Reid and Veach in KC after being released by the Bills earlier in the day yesterday.

Trump tweeted this image of the failure:

The only thing that bothers me in that last video is how the cloak/back animates. Other than that, looks and sounds really cool.

Meanwhile, Iran tried to launch a satellite today.

Image taken from the surface of asteroid Ryugu at night:

Crazy that this was only 6 years ago.

It's got a purpose now, it's first 3 launches are for Artemis. Hopefully they at least open up Europa Clipper to having other options.

So Congress mandated the Europa clipper be launched on SLS when they funded it. Because of delays and the Artemis program, the probe will have to sit in storage for years waiting for a ride if nothing changes.

Aborted before the attempt, will try again tomorrow same time.
