The video used knots and meters. So 66.21 kn and 8.57m.

Saildrones aren’t intended as a hurricane monitoring platform. The marine work I am most aware of them used for is multibeaming the seafloor, so my reaction as a seafarer on a research vessel is, “it survived?!?!?” (Also which model?). That’s a sea state 7 and Beaufort of 9.

Which should answer your question that yes, there are not much in the way of other data points like this. There might be some other NOAA floats, buoys, and some vessels with weather station data which can report, but having an unscrewed vessel like Saildrone is just starting to be used. Marine research doesn’t have the military budgets to just throw things at storms.

Perhaps this should be decreed in a new Geneva convention as the only allowed long range missile system? That would make wars less deadly and more useful.

Say more please? What’s the advantage?

People are doing work to figure out how bad the famine will be..

Getting twitter.com redirecting to cardsagainsthumanity.com would certainly be worth 15 million. Ha!

Maybe he’ll get fined enough by the FAA for SpaceX violations and SEC for missing court appointed meetings he’ll decide to just give up twitter and go back to digging holes underground. Unlikely I know but good for a laugh.

4 fingers?

In general I don’t disagree that CNN a corporation which has a fiduciary bias to it’s peers in the news it promotes. That is a bias of corporate person hood.

Many other issues there, but I’m curious on a spectrum in the US and in comparison to other similar organization in the US, how you would place CNN? Right leaning? Center? Far right?

Ah so you have a methodology, which is experience based, uses your individual knowledge? Can you explain how you judge political bias, so others can use it?

I applaud your interest in self-reliance, but how do you determined you are not being manipulated by either side?

It’s getting it’s info from Media Bias Fact Check so explain to me how their method is wrong? You prefer All Sides. Or Ad Fontes Media? Both of which also say leaning left.

Indeed, Russia still has some currency reserves, the shadow gas fleet, huge increase in domestic production of arms, and has some how kept it’s GDP growth up. Not that it doesn’t have issues on it’s horizon, but time is still there to wiggle around them. Also you are correct about Ukraine, many reasons to be enthusiastic, but Winter still looks like it might be rough.

And Trump, well yea still many days to the election and he may yet pull Vance’s thumb out of his ass. Can’t say I don’t like the nice poll numbers from swing states though, seems like Harris has some good appeal to the swing voters.

Anyone know what launch method is intended if the Taurus was given to the Ukrainians? Can the F-16 they have launch them? Or are they considering a modified ground launch method (similar to the GL-SDB)?

Good choice, although the swiss aren’t selling to Ukraine apparently (veto’ed several transfers). There are a few other CIWS systems which would also be good. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MYJ2KKnl6kA

Interesting! Any list of good TUI games on Linux?

For those who are curious, they did this at the Transportation Technology Center near Pueblo acorrding to this article.

Possibly, but in other social contexts (aka a cafe in Europe or elsewhere) time pressure might not be a priority. Having a single seating for the entire morning may not seem viable, but can be in some places.

Mind you that’s mostly non-liquid accounting of his stock and assets. Not that he’ll have to worry about what he spends, but it’s not cash in the bank billions.

What feeds do you watch? Anything stand out? Thanks for the tip on the app!

Anyone else use NewsBlur Apps or WebApp. They have a free and paid, which works well enough to aggregate the sites I need to get a diverse news collection in an RSS like format.

I still miss google reader and past times, but gotta adapt.
