@elonmusk @Ivan3ManAtLarge Yeah. It’s called Sunday School.

The word of the day today is parallax! Specifically stellar parallax. So what’s parallax & what does it mean to astronomers? As it happens, @RichardDrumm was part of the UVA Parallax team in the early 1980s. And he will tell the story at #365DaysOfAstro https://t.co/TLSptcBJCi

@elonmusk Statistically, no.

@itskyleconner How about an efficiency race? I’m in Charlottesville, so an easy drive. My 2022 M3 LFP/RWD vs various others!

[The Astronomy Bum @RichardDrumm]

@elonmusk I’d love to be able to save dashcam clips to an extra thumb drive on the roadside after an accident. I have some old 16gig drives That I could keep in the console.

Yes, there will be a lineup of planets in the sky this month but they're not actually "aligned" in their orbits...they just happen to be on the same side of the Sun right now to all be visible from Earth between dusk and dawn.

@OutofSpecDave May I recommend Levelator? It’s software that’ll ride the levels in your audio & even it out. Then you can set a consistent program level.
BTW, I’m the Astronomy podcaster you met at the meetup last year.

@brandenflasch @AustyUSA How can I tell what battery is in a used Model Y? When the Y refresh comes out there’ll be good used cars to scoop up.
