@EITMonline My previous boss sent his son to this and they had a several day course on how to fly on private jets alone as a child. How you should Interact with personal stewardess, pilots, safety, waiting for your car on the tarmac, where you can run and not run, etc.

They had to cover windows, release the pandemic, get help from the CCP, had more Mail-in Ballots than ever in history, and they still had to switch votes at 3AM

FBI Dir Wray did nothing about it which is Treason....why should we be paying his pension

@EITMonline I know several gay couples that share everything including underwear

@ElissaDeSouza @NavyYardCrime Stabbing at Half Street and L SE in Navy Yard. Police and paramedics responding outside Coda and the new urgent care. 12+ cruisers. Please report this

@nevertweety @recallallen 5 minutes combing the web is a hell of a lot less pathetic than patrolling a neighborhood and ripping down 10+ signs. Calling out Marcus KYD for the sad man he is. He should get a life.

[Heywood @Data_Wonk]

@recallallen Follow up: It's MARCUS KYD of Highwood Drive SE. A self obsessed washed up adult theatre "actor".

[Heywood @Data_Wonk]

@recallallen Maybe others can track him down. I was able to see he is active in DC and MD theater community. But could not find name

@SexxyBoiiDreezy You're the only racist one here

A lot of cool things have happened since I have been away working on my thesis, and one of the absolute coolest is that MOXIE, an experiment sent to Mars on the Perseverance rover, completed its mission of turning the CO₂ in the Martian atmosphere into oxygen. This is a gamechanger - it proves we can have access to oxygen on Mars, taking us leaps closer to a crewed Mars mission.

MOXIE is a golden box weighing 37.7 pounds and about the size of a microwave oven. The gold protects the rest of the rover from the intense heat that MOXIE uses to perform its experiment, heating and compressing the CO₂ before passing it onto the electrolysis unit which then converts it into O₂.

The CO₂ is heated to about 800°C and compressed, and then the conversion with electrolysis begins. But you can't simply split the O₂ off from the C, you need two CO₂ molecules that then split this into two CO molecules, plus one O₂ molecule. This process requires less energy and is faster than splitting the C from the O₂, and prevents the buildup of carbon solids on the electronics, which would degrade the experiment. The O₂ is stored and tested for purity, while the CO is released into the atmosphere.

From the time Perseverance landed on Mars in March 2021, MOXIE has produced 122 grams of oxygen of at least 98% purity, which is twice as much as NASA expected and enough for a small puppy to breathe for 10 hours. This proves that making oxygen on Mars is possible! This takes us leaps forward in the quest to send astronauts to Mars: it shows we have a way of providing astronauts oxygen to breathe, as well as to launch a spacecraft on the Martian surface and return back home. This is important because taking enough oxygen there would be impractical: a rocket would need around 55,000 pounds of oxygen to simply lift off of Mars. So these results from MOXIE show that we wouldn't need to bring oxygen and can make it right on the surface of the planet! Next step would be a full-scale system can convert enough oxygen fast enough, and store it, on Mars.

The future of space exploration looks brighter than ever! 🚀

Thanks to Prop 47 thefts under $950 will not be prosecuted, so cops will not bother showing up. Just a reminder that you get what you voted for, California!

A little under an hour of NW DC neighborhood fireworks condensed down to 20 seconds.

A helicopter flies past the first few seconds - I bet they had a nice view!

@EITMonline I saw two Bald Eagles perched on the Capitol Dome once. I almost shat my pants. I literally cried

How bad did they want Trump out of office? Follow the disease. Follow the money. Follow the media.
Follow the election. Follow the lies. You decide in which order.

Pull back the curtain.
Oh yeah and find out exactly who “they” are. The trickiest part, eh?

@RepRaskin literally didn't even address the graduating class in his commencement speech today. Instead all he said we're campaign talking points he and his liberal ducks gag on every ight as they cum to. How will this make me a better lawyer? You made 400 enemies today

[Heywood @Data_Wonk]

@RepRaskin you failed at impeaching the president. The now twice acquited president and all Americans see you for the failed attempt at success you are. Give up. Now.

[Heywood @Data_Wonk]

@RepRaskin you need speech writers. I had hoards of liberal graduates saying "What time he fuck is this?" To me all afternoon. You are a shame to AU
