If I’m not mistaken this part of the trail is also pretty steep, more so than it looks in the picture. The views are amazing when the weather is clearer.

Power plant and bridge days sound like it’s infrastructure week again.

Do you have to provide it explicitly, or is the algorithm inferring it from all of your habits (which you “provide” in the form of clicks and views)?

My objection is to using the phrase “20k’ above Mt. Everest” when that’s an altitude above sea level.

where a helicopter took her 20,945 feet above Mount Everest. After strapping in to her board and freefalling for several minutes, she landed on a flat runway at 12,356 feet

This makes no sense. That puts the starting height at 29029+20945=~50k feet. The Guinness record for highest helicopter flight is 40,820’.

This article says 20945 was the starting height. Saying this is “over” Mt. Everest is rather misleading.

"Let’s talk about health again for the 25th time,” he said at the start of the interview. “My health is perfect,” he added.

Quick, bring out the conspiracy theorists - he’s admitting there have been conversations about the 25th amendment!

They need it for safety from that rogue lion on the left.

It’s broken, searching for “Epstein” has no results.

The contact list is fun, Trump has a box around his name (page 80).

Zero for the triggering action. A human rolled out a permissions change in a database that led to an unexpected failure in a different system because that other system was missing some safety checks when loading the data (non-zero chance that code was authored in some way by AI).

Tomatoes are mildly acidic, so something similar should get you an approximation of the flavor. Pickled onions might be a good choice, or some other lightly pickled fruit/veg (maybe beets for salad). Actual dill pickles are not going to be too acidic to be a good substitute (but are a great thing to put on sandwiches in addition to tomato anyway).

Pineapple might work in some cases, but it has a strong flavor and sweetness that won’t work everywhere a tomato does. Salsas are a good place for this as a tomato substitute (along with mango and corn), but pineapple does also work well in some sandwiches.

Following that incident, airlines and TSA began asking passengers to voluntarily remove their shoes when going through security.

Voluntarily?? When was it ever voluntary?

Genius. If you vaporize them they can’t melt.

I hear Greenland has WMDs - in the form of melting glaciers that will cause some kind of climate catastrophe. /s

They do. The problem is that controlled burns are by definition small so they can be controlled and there’s a lot of forest.

I’ll bet you one upvote, and I’ll pay it right now!

Seeing an annular eclipse is an excellent application of orbital mechanics! Enjoy!

Drop a ball. It goes fastest just before and after it hits the ground, and slows down until it gets back to near the height you dropped it from

The probe is the ball, and slingshotting around the sun is like bouncing off the ground. The potential energy (height of ball/distance from sun) gets converted to and from kinetic energy (speed).
