The Andromeda galaxy is 6 times bigger in the sky than the full Moon: it's just too dim to clearly see it with the naked eye.

This composite image shows what it would look like at night if it was just brighter.

By “steal an election” do you mean having the FBI lie to the FISA court 17 times to get phone taps on an entire presidential campaign then having political operatives & the IC employ Mccarthyism & concoct a ridiculous conspiracy theory that the president is a traitor & working for an enemy nation, then getting the media to report it as fact for four straight years , then getting 51 CIA agents to lie to voters about a computer being Russian propaganda, then getting social media platforms to blanket censor the reporting of that computer story & ban accounts that do, then doing two bogus impeachments then having FBI assets dressed as MAGA supporters inside the Capitol before FBI assets outside the capitol instigated a riot, then mislabeling that riot as an insurrection in order to criminalize a political movement, then employing lawfare for 4 completely bogus prosecutions?

Is that what you mean Or am i misunderstanding your tweet?

X has cautioned me that I haven't posted anything original in a while, and therefore I may be a "bot"; and therefore my "reach" may be limited. Well I'm not a bot, unlike X, which is all software, and therefore definitely a bot. Something about the pot and the kettle?@elonmusk

The US is mostly run on fossil fuels, also in 2023

82% of all energy (not just electricity) consumed comes from coal, oil and gas

Nuclear is 9%, renewables (mostly biomass) is 9%

Solar and wind contributes 2.5%

Our former President showed tremendous grace and courage under literal fire tonight. So thankful for his safety and so sad for the victims and their families.

Starlink is ideal for rural locations, especially for connecting farmers with high-speed internet

Lest we forget, 80 years ago today the greatest armada in human history was hurled at the Normandy coast, with the ultimate objective of smashing the Third Reich. Thousands of 20-year olds were asked to do what nobody should ever be asked to do, but there was no alternative.

@AlboMP What kind of idiot are you, @AlboMP ?

How does the winter cold affect wind and solar output?

In Germany, on the few days of <0°C, wind and solar output averaged 12GW, half the output of milder 5-10°C days.

Moreover, on these cold days electricity demand was 10% higher.

Remarkable video presented in Saturday's Army-Navy game showcasing USS CARNEY DDG64. The count of "22-0" presumably refers to Houthi-launched missiles and aerial drones - this is a higher number than what's previously been reported
