In case anyone is wondering, it has dissipated a bit but most of the water vapor injected into the upper atmosphere by the Hunga Tonga–Hunga Haʻapai eruption is still there.

@curiouswavefn I would contend to some extent the notion that good engineering is devoid of unoriginal ideas. In my experience good engineering is the most effective and simplest application of previously identified physical phenomenon.

@eruptionsblog I would very much appreciate one. I’ve been waiting for months to no avail.

[Hefty Astronot @HeftyAstronot]

People are like, "Why are you here if it's so bad for your mental health," but, like, I also do many other things that are terrible for my mental health.

I am not a rational machine. I'm a fucking mammal. I am closely related to animals that throw poop at each other.

Fun physics fact: Boston, originally "Bose Town", was named after Satyendra Nath Bose, famous for his work developing the quantum theory of bosons, a type of particle (such as light). This is similar to Fermilab, IL being named after Enrico Fermi
