Man, I wish there was some more elaboration on how patriots owning tether benefits the US. And also, wtf did he give it up? He lost billions of dollars and he hurt the US. What kind of patriot does that?
“The U.S. would be better off if people like me, patriotic Americans, still tightly held the ownership of this business,” Mr. Pierce said in an interview. “My group of shareholders, probably $6-$10 billion of value I gave up. Was that really the right call with the benefit of hindsight? I don’t know.”

Actually kind of interesting how this vortex is locally colder in the north, but doesn't extend as far south. No dip in temps across Florida.

@polishdub that's what we need. This flight had an unusually high number of people who had bags in the row behind them, too, so everybody standing in the aisle made it extra difficult.

Maybe this company. The drones look similar, and they did a previous show in Philly.
I missed the drone light show last night. I'm curious about the software setup for it. Apparently it's been a thing for a while, and there's a few companies doing it, but I've never seen one before. https://mobile.twitter.com/Eagles/status/1619522952667738112

If I had known about warm weather snow makers sooner, I would have started a gofundme to sneak one into the linc and fill the stadium with snow before the game.
We are receiving disturbing reports of niners fans loose in the city.

I think this article would have been "better" had it dug into the fact that the snow maker allowed the ski slope to open a month early. What were the knock on effects of that? How many people subsequently drove to the slopes in their carbon machines? How many relaxed in the ski lodge, next to a log fire? Did the snow maker use power, or did it induce even more power consuming demand? (If you want to write the angry about snow makers article.)

@FritzAdalis nice. so that's not quite nothing, and they probably have more than one, but still likely a fraction of electricity used for lights, lifts, and everything else.

Confidence, however, is the real must-wear shorts accessory. Connell says that he’s got “chicken legs” but has no qualms putting them on show. “If women can wear short skirts everywhere, men should be able to wear shorts,” says Sanders, who also wants restaurants to allow them for dinner. “I take care of my legs, I’ve got a reasonably nice pair for my age. If you’ve got it, flaunt it, I say.”
Imagine writing an entire article about energy usage without specifying the amount of energy used. Speaking of wasted energy... That's every reference to energy use. Not a single mention of watts, or amps, or tons of coal, or whatever.
Some worry the amount of energy needed to make the fake snow contributes to the very problem resorts are trying to confront
The costly machines require an enormous amount of energy to operate
The machine uses electricity to draw from local water sources, pumping 20 gallons of water per minute.
some companies argue the amount of energy needed to run them is its own cause for concern
these energy-intensive machines are “really not the answer.”
“The irony of trying to fight temperatures by using a lot more energy to make snow is pretty much using the cause [of climate change] to find a solution.”
The SnowFactory, which has been sold globally for 10 years, requires nearly four times as much energy as normal snow guns.
Like TechnoAlpin’s SnowFactory, the Latitude 90 snow-making machine requires a lot of energy to operate.
While energy consumption is high for the machines, they use way less water — 12 gallons per minute compared with snow guns that use 70 to 110 gallons a minute, according to Brown.

Bad movie results: The winner was The Good, the Bad and the Ugly. Also the only nominee with "Good" in the title. I learned about Bad (or Andy Warhol's Bad), which won a Saturn for best supporting actress. I believe the Bad Boys franchise was the most profitable Bad movie series. There were zero votes for Bad Moms, which was on the tv when I asked the question.
What's the best movie with "Bad" in the title?

@Moon "t-shirt mit einem cowboy motif" featured prominently as something one might buy in a shop in my middle school German dialogs. There's definitely something to the idea that they cared more about cowboys than I ever did.
New blog post: I tried running a honk server, but I was dismayed by the vile things that the users were posting.
