Old people know stuff. Like, there will always be war. When you fall and break your hip, your knowledge will increase. So if you are, say, 50-something, trying to tell me socialism is good or (insert your big gripe here) is bad, I say grow up and get a life.

The Zvezda service module transfer tunnel, known as PrK, has suffered from cracks and leaks for some time, and has been mitigated by Roscosmos as much as possible to date. The cracks have always been a concern that NASA watches very closely. NASA and Roscosmos have been working to determine the root cause of the cracks, and Roscosmos manages the issue through operational mitigation measures and periodic partial-repair efforts.

Following new leaks, Roscosmos has elected to proceed with a more extensive repair operation on Friday, June 5. Out of an abundance of caution, NASA has directed all four of the agency's SpaceX Crew-12 members and NASA astronaut Chris Williams to assume an elevated safety posture in the Dragon spacecraft while the repair is underway.

We continue to work with our Russian counterparts, along with the rest of the international community that supports the space station, to arrive at a more permanent resolution.

I just sent a home owners exemption form to a home worth 1.4 million.
They have an annual tax bill of $14,776

Californians exemption saves them a measly $70.
@CAgovernor Ron is offering 250k exemptions.

c. 1960's My aunt and great uncle (WWI vet) and other vets from all over teamed up to make these these flowers by wrapping crepe paper on a wire matrix. Maybe this tradition died when they did?

[Sandra Yoakum @sandra_yoakum]

When I was younger they gave out the paper poppy and it was custmery to give a donation and you'd wear them to show respect, why do they not still do that?

[Island Codgers @IslandCodger]

@FloreFlos No criticism, but we never answer polls. You don't know what use will be made of the result and there may be sneaky manipulation of the question. Just Vote.

@KassMiass Thanks, generous words, yes, it turned out (not all my projects do!)

Mandolin, my work, carved and tuned to Loar specs, back when I was doing a lot of luthier work, building and repairing.
I didn't do the ivory inlay, NOT traditional.
Inlay too much? Your opinion!
Good projection and balance.
