THIS GUY LIVES UNDER SFO'S TAKEOFF PATH SO HE BUILT A CEILING PROJECTOR THAT TRACKS EVERY PLANE FLYING OVER HIS HOUSE IN REAL TIME
he uses a cheap $30 radio receiver to pick up the signals that planes broadcast while flying.
then projects them onto his ceiling in real time
when a jet flies over his house you hear it outside and at the exact same moment a plane glides across his ceiling labeled with the airline, aircraft type, and destination
pure black background so the projector's rectangle disappears and only the aircraft are visible
but he didn't stop at planes
it also draws the real sky behind them. sun, moon, bright stars, constellations, and live satellites including the ISS. all at their true positions for his exact location and time in real time
so he's lying in bed watching the actual night sky projected onto his ceiling with real planes crossing through it as they take off from SFO
there is a huge market for every man alive that runs outside to see the helicopter
vibe coded the whole thing himself with a cheap radio, a projector, and some clever software
We appear to have a new type of Chinese nuclear powered submarine on out hands. The most remarkable aspect about it is its construction at Jiangnan in Shanghai, in a dedicated new facility.
A few additional remarks in a quick thread.

This is a absolutely fantastic example of data manipulation. Credit to @nikstankovic_ for spotting it (you can see his reply to @AgatheDemarais's post).
Not surprising coming from The Economist but the manipulation is still quite insane once you understand it.
Let me explain 🧵
Akhal-Teke; a Turkmen horse breed, from Turkmenistan Teke tribe, also known as Desert Horse is one of oldest and most beautiful breeds. Since ancient times, they have a reputation for speed and endurance, intelligence, and a distinctive metallic sheen. The shiny coat of the breed led to their nickname, "Golden Horses".
Akhal Teke looks like glass, pearl, silk, coming from a fairytale. History of Akhal Teke horses, dates back to 5000 BC. Due to its elegance and beauty, it is referred to as "Horses of Paradise" or "Golden Horses of Persia", and "Flying Wings of Nusay".
These horses are adapted to severe climatic conditions and are thought to be one of oldest existing horse breeds. There are currently about 6600 Akhal-Tekes in the world, mostly in Turkmenistan, although they are also found throughout Europe and North America.
(Akhal is the name of the line of oases along the north slope of the Kopet Dag mountains in Turkmenistan. It has been inhabited by the Tekke tribe of Turkmens)

Why does the U.S. submarine industrial base suck, and how can America fix it?
How a rational short-term decision to cancel Seawolf led to decades of problems that still aren't solved.

The Biden administration is, disregarding environmental protection laws, killing wildlife, and desecrating indigenous graves to millitarize the border and prevent refugees, aslyum-seekers, and wildlife from migrating into the US.
This is horrifying.
Vinyl chloride is not only flammable, but it's also a brain, lung, blood, and liver carcinogen. Authorities decided to burn hundreds of thousands of gallons of this chemical after a train derailed in East Palestine, Ohio.
But it’s gotten almost no national news coverage…
Ohio: Dead fish and cattle being reported as far as 100 miles away from the site.
Journalists covering the story have been arrested.
What the HELL is going on?
WTF is going on?!?!?
I’ve been checking with friends and online—absolutely ZERO coverage in the American mainstream media about the Ohio chemical train derailment.
Attached are photos of the event—and screenshots of CNN and the New York Times websites.
