Or a space key.

But you get two Fn keys next to each other, so it’s got that going for it.

We truly are lost…

You can see the row of mines on the road from this drone video. But I guess being in a war zone doesn’t encourage cautious driving.

I think he says “watch this!” before he jumps.

The US election is paralyzing the presidency from making any big moves until it’s over. I think that’s why the NK involvement was timed to start now, and also why Israel chose to start their genocide now. It’s a good time to start bullshit and not be punished for it.

Unfortunately, without the veto power I expect the nuclear-armed countries would just leave the UN and it would lose what little usefulness it still has.

Would have done a lot more damage with a bit of delay on the fuses…

They’re made that way so you don’t accidentally connect a gas cylinder to a water line.

Off topic, but that’s Audiodollar - “Powerful Metalcore”

Surprisingly good song for a stock tune.

You can’t use triangulation for anything over a few light-years, the angles are just too acute. And even then, you need to use the full width of Earth’s orbit (i.e. repeat a measurement at different times of the year).

I think they just know what the frequency distribution normally is for a burst like this when it is emitted, and use the redshift of the measured frequencies to estimate the distance. Plus they correlate it with the apparent source based on direction (a certain galaxy, in this case, which helped confirm the distance estimate).

Inmates make knives out of the weirdest things.

You know what you did.

There is such a thing as Sun-synchronous polar orbits (an example).

That really was great, thank you!

No, that’s brilliantly executed!

Mmm, high tea… Haven’t played that in a while.

Ok, I guess the idea that the CMB suggests movement relative to a quasi-absolute reference frame really has become disputed lately… I also found this newer paper by the same authors. It’s a pity, I liked the idea.

The image just loaded very slowly for me (i.e. after about 10 seconds). In some posts it never loads at all, but there is a thumbnail in the main screen. This is on sync.

Well, following the main reference in the Wikipedia page leads to this:

The implied velocity for the Solar System barycenter is v = 369.82 ± 0.11 km s−1, assuming a value T0 = Tγ , towards (l, b) = (264.021◦ ± 0.011◦, 48.253◦ ± 0.005◦) [13]. Such a Solar System motion implies a velocity for the Galaxy and the Local Group of galaxies relative to the CMB. The derived value is vLG = 620 ± 15 km s−1 towards (l, b) = (271.9◦ ± 2.0◦, 29.6◦ ± 1.4◦) [13], where most of the error comes from uncertainty in the velocity of the Solar System relative to the Local Group. The dipole is a frame-dependent quantity, and one can thus determine the ‘CMB frame’ (in some sense this is a special frame) as that in which the CMB dipole would be zero. Any velocity of the receiver relative to the Earth and the Earth around the Sun is removed for the purposes of CMB anisotropy studies, while our velocity relative to the Local Group of galaxies and the Local Group’s motion relative to the CMB frame are normally removed for cosmological studies. The dipole is now routinely used as a primary calibrator for mapping experiments, either via the time- varying orbital motion of the Earth, or through the cosmological dipole measured by satellite experiments.

Do any references suggest this dipole is under debate?
