So, what the worst thing for which you ever got in trouble?
When I was 10 years old (1974), my buddy Craig (9) and I caused a (very minor) international incident because we got on the wrong subway train in West Berlin and wound up in Soviet-controlled communist /EAST/ Berlin. As a result, Major Dad (USAF), his boss (Craig's LTC Dad), their boss, AND the base commander all had to put on their fancy-dress uniforms to retrieve us.
I spent the rest of the summer on HOME CONFINEMENT.

I wonder, do the radio waves and microwaves and whatnot that astronomers receive from space have similar layers and harmonics to the sound waves we hear on earth?

@dmacphee itβs insane that weβve reached a point where millions of people think that the right way to reach truth in medicine is for a doctor to go on the radio and debate a comedian.

I never say this, but, you should delete this.
I wrote about why Twitter has become a national security threat, and how its owner keeps making decisions that help violent autocrats and harm democracies around the world. Currently, Musk is not only re-platforming Kremlin-linked accounts β heβs amplifying them, despite Russiaβs continued involvement in war crimes and the distribution of terroristic content.

So... me. Work in aerospace, more space, not as much aero. Can fix my own car, choose not to. Can fix the random appliance of your choice. Hardcore introvert in person, which is why I love online. Lifelong science fiction fan. Read constantly. Scalzi is my favorite author, because he mixes exactly the right amount of snark into his writing. Together with a guy 30+ years, married since it was legal. Own a home in CA and don't plan to leave unless I immigrate to another country.
