A woman was rude to me on the train today, so I googled the book she was reading and told her who the murderer is.

I finally have all 1.2 million raw image files from my latest mission to ISS! Here is a sample of one of my favorite Milky Way photos, taken from the Cupola with Nikon Z9, Arri Zeiss 15mm lens, T1.8 with custom sidereal drive that cancelled out star motion relative to our orbit.

This one page changed my life.

42 years ago today, it convinced my parents I shouldn't go back to college.

I started by upgrading PCs from a dorm room.

Today @Dell is helping build the infrastructure that powers AI, from the edge to some of the world's largest AI factories.

You never know which small decision will change everything.

Keep building🚀🙏 #PlayNiceButWin

Emergency crews are responding to a forest fire burning west of Sedalia.

The Douglas County Sheriff’s Office, Office of Emergency Management, and the Helitack Crew, along with West Douglas Fire and Castle Rock Fire, are actively working to contain the fire.

If you live nearby, stay alert and monitor official updates as conditions can change quickly.

We will provide additional information as it becomes available.

The phrase “almost there” has been used by hikers for centuries. Historians believe it has never been accurate.

Posting the mile WR race again. Truly insane. I’m trying to get my head around four laps at 55 point pace per lap. Also the pressure Kerr put himself under for months in calling his shot that on a very specific day he was going to break a WR that had stood for 27 years.

The next Louisiana Purchase? Here’s an idea: the United States acquires the Baja California Peninsula from Mexico for $1 to $5 trillion.

Every Mexican citizen living in Baja receives dual U.S.-Mexico citizenship, plus a $50,000 investment account.

Then America gets to work: world-class infrastructure, deep-water ports, desalination, nuclear energy, housing, universities, and industry. Tijuana and Mexicali could become major reindustrialization zones.

In return, the United States gains nearly 1,800 miles of some of the most spectacular coastline on Earth and the chance to build the great new economic region.

Is this a crazy idea? Of course. But so was the Louisiana Purchase in 1803.

Planning to hike a trail during your visit?

Be sure to check our online Backcountry Conditions map and follow our safety tips:

✅ Check https://t.co/EdGkRcI7x3 for current trail closures, restrictions, known hazards, and more detailed info.

🐻 Be bear aware. Hike in groups, be alert, make noise, and carry bear spray (and know how to use it!)

🌦️ Gear up for changing conditions. Rain, wind, sleet, and snow can be deadly if proper precautions are not taken. Always bring rain gear and extra clothes for warmth.

💧 Watch out for water. Many rivers or streams cannot be crossed until July or later. The water can be cold, fast, and more than thigh-deep, making any attempt to cross perilous. Carefully check your itinerary for stream crossings.

❄️ Check the weather forecast. Yellowstone can experience winter-like weather any time of the year. Calm, sunny mornings can abruptly turn into fierce, stormy days.

[US Oil & Gas Association @US_OGA]

And once again we take this opportunity to educate everyone on the role that venting and flaring play in oil and gas production.

We will do so using the Senator as an example.

Venting and flaring are the industry's primary methods of releasing built-up pressure out before it causes an accident.

Venting quietly releases natural gas while flaring sets that gas on fire because sometimes the build up is so large and dangerous only way to handle excess methane is to quickly give it the old Viking funeral.

Both of these methods are highly regulated by state and federal governments.

In the Senator's situation, pressure was building and asafety valve failed, resulting in uncontrolled release of methane.

Had it been burned - aka "flared' that certainly would have been something to see on the Senate floor.

In this case it was vented.

And now you know all about venting and flaring.
