I'm a freelance Vision Engineer. When I have spare time I run a website for the Dandie Dinmont Terrier Club, and dream about getting back into gliding.

@DJSnM Would a Vandenberg launch normally expect to have a speed disadvantage compared to a Cape Canaveral launch due to Earth's rotation?

@QuicklineUK Still no updates? Internet down for the third evening running. Supposedly 24/7 support not answering. Just the same message saying you have network problems. Great when it's working, but your customer service is terrible.

[Simon Rishton @scrishton]

@QuicklineUK My internet has been down for most of the last 26 hours. The 24/7 support line just goes to a recorded message that says there is a problem and 'further updates will be provided'.

Any further updates?

@engineers_feed The currents flowing through AB, AD and AE are identical, so the potential at B, D and E is equal. Therefore you can link B, D and E without current flowing across the links, and the resistance from A to G is unchanged. Same with C, F and H. It is now a simple r/3 + r/6 + r/3.

@TheHStirling @red_black_blog @reece_dinsdale I doubt that Reece's luggage is made from Sapient Pearwood.

@VintageBarbara @MrJamesMay Hope it doesn’t ‘report back’.

@timruss2 @PhotonEmpress So that's what they meant by "the vacuum of space".

@SpaceX Love the shadow on the deck of JRTI.

[Simon Rishton @scrishton]

@KariLeno @SpaceX No, they just read the instructions.

[Simon Rishton @scrishton]

@reece_dinsdale So sorry Reece.

@DJSnM I have a pair of Canberra starting cartridges on my hearth.

@StuartHumphryes Interesting that she has what looks like a smallpox vaccine scar on her arm. It seems that was already a thing 113 years ago.
