@MBKplus @eteq Nope just the tiny and massive ones. MW-mass galaxies are only useful for studying star formation

@jbprime @UCIPhysSci I'm so happy to see that they're still around. Absolute savior when I didn't feel like making the walk to UTC

[Shea GK @SheaGKosmo]

@AstroBailin @MBKplus But definitely self-interacting, and likely even self-propagating DM.

[Shea GK @SheaGKosmo]

@MBKplus @AstroBailin Too right to succeed: seriously, we must've done something wrong while on FIRE

Cameron Hummels' goal was to traverse the entirety of Death Valley on foot in 4 days — cutting the previous record nearly in half.

His pack was 25.4 pounds. He carried just 2 liters of water to tide him over until he reached a small seep at Mile 17.

@aussiastronomer @PFHopkins_Astro Congrats @PFHopkins_Astro! Extremely well deserved!

[Shea GK @SheaGKosmo]

@desikanarayanan @aussiastronomer @PFHopkins_Astro @BrandSanderson Definitely second Mistborn; it's a great entry-point into the Cosmere. Stormlight is slower, but also absolutely terrific, and it'll keep you busy for awhile. As a bonus, @BrandSanderson writes books faster than I can read them sometimes!

Happy to announce our public data release of the FIRE-2 cosmological zoom-in simulations of galaxy formation:

What does New York Times omit? That LAPD already has an astonishing $3 billion budget, most of it spent on low-level traffic, drugs, homelessness, mental illness related stuff AND that LAPD is in midst of big budget fight trying to get a 12% increase. https://t.co/ZaBIOYTqjq
