The second one is a statue that used to be in front of the US Capitol building called "The Rescue", but it was removed because it was insensitive to Native Americans. capitolhistory.org/capitol-hist...

We got one last year and it was a lot of fun. The puzzles and tasks were challenging and I'm looking forward to doing it again this year.
A golden retriever walking her human with a gigantic stick in her mouth.
Grey found a stick to bring along on our walk this morning.
yea probably. and then they realized "oh wait we don't need the americans we're set" and moved on :)
Access to the cars seemed to be organized by the Chinese manufacturers: it looked like an attempt to get Americans interested. I didn't notice any policy pushes after it, so I wonder what made them stop.
There was a brief moment last year where a ton of the car youtubers were checking out the EVs from China. They were all obviously in a whole other value/quality class than any American car.
Free business idea: kid sized battery operated Hot Wheels car but it's a train engine, subway, or light rail car.
What kind of food do you like? How far are you willing to go?
First suggestion is to find a way up to Diane's Place tomorrow morning and have a coffee and pastry on the patio. Diane Moua has won several national awards for her pastries and it's worth the trip.
Can you add the ability to link to a particular time? Then I could add a link from my 3D tracker timeline thing to your transcript.
Happy Rex Manning Day!
This is possibly the most incredible tracking video of a rocket launch that I have ever seen, and Shuttle had some really incredible videos too!
Just look at those gorgeous flame dynamics and then the booster separation... ππ§ͺ #Artemis
A bit of a different take on the amazing Artemis II launch footage.
Here I stitched clips from the four Solar Array Wing Cameras to make this panoramic video.
This is during the later part of the Core Stage burn until MECO and stage separation, sped up to 10x. ππ§ͺ #Artemis

A screenshot from the Artemis tracker (https://artemistracker.mapki.com/) showing the far side of the moon with a small green shape waving at the camera.

Wonder why I haven't heard about this little green lunar inhabitant waving at the Artemis crew yet.
We went to the Frost game yesterday and it was easily the most fun I've had a sporting event in years. Lots of action, super energetic/fun fans. Highly recommended!
Map of the Strait of Hormuz overlaid on New York City. The narrowest part of the strait is about twice as big as the 5 boroughs combined.
Map of southern Lebanon, where the vast majority of the population is being displaced by an Israeli invasion, compared to New York City. The two areas are about the same size.

NASA just dropped this image of Artemis II astronaut Christina Koch looking back at us. The first woman to ever see our planet in its entirety. Iβm not crying youβre crying π₯Ήππ§ͺ πΈ: NASA
One day someone should post one of these "rockets launching as seen from satellite" but the rocket comes all the way up to the satellite, someone gets out to clean the sensor, and then goes back down to the Earth.
The official Artemis tracking site (www.
nasa.gov/missions/artemis-ii/arow/) doesn't work for me, so I built a better one using the same telemetry data:

I've seen 3 or 4 different examples of these robots breaking through the bus stop glass in Chicago on Instagram Reels, so I imagine it did.
The sensors are only ~$300. I wonder if we could use one of the St Paul community grant programs to buy some. Then the hardest part is deploying them and maintaining them.
Cool, I have the crimper/stripper/ends for that many. Want to email me at gmail and we can find a time?
I've got some practice. How many do you need to do?
A whole lot more #nokings honking on the bridges today. >70% hit rate so far I'd say.
We've had very good luck with structuretech.com. They were quite affordable ~7 years ago when we used them last (same zipcode).
let me know before you do this so i can invest in scoopie tokens.
