Queer middle-aged guy. I work on radars. Opinions are my own but I'm trying to make them everyone else's problem also. In my spare time I fence and make music

The engineer’s creed:

We chose to do this and the other things, not because they are easy, but because we *thought* they would be easy.

An Ottoman budget for the year 1653 includes an entry for the salaries of "the corps of Franks" (taife-i efrencan), which consisted of just one person. I wish I knew who this was

Jag tror bilderna nedan innebär att en stor del av Östersjöflottans ammunition har gått i upp rök efter att Ukraina attackerat den. På Sveriges nationaldag.

Enligt Ryskspråkiga källor (tänk flashback) är det iaf den enda depån i trakten. Blir gärna rättad!

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.

My good friend Ursula K. Le Guin has some thoughts on this

In fiction evil is often written to have depth and complexity while good is written to be simple and boring. But in real life evil is boring and predictable while good is complex and unique every single time.
