You are, Number Six.

@justindeanlee Atlas Shrugged more likely.

I am once again asking you to consider that we may be living the plot of The Three Body Problem.

@pitsenberger Magnificent

We had to get up early because Big Boy's schedule had changed, so we headed out of the mountains into the Great Central Valley outside Lincoln, CA. It was a cold, rainy day, which made for some dramatic scenes. We parked by an "at-grade" crossing where trains usually blow their horns. We were not disappointed! Why was it going so slowly? That paid off big time for us as another train was coming, and Big Boy had been put on a siding track while a freight train passed. That allows us some time to get up close and personal with the massive engine.

@colebrax This is a remarkable movie

“If I had a thousand sons, the first humane principle I would teach them should be to forswear thin potations and to addict themselves to sack.” Falstaff makes the case for strong drink in this incredible scene from 'Chimes at Midnight' (1965), discussed in my new video with @Pinball_Lez : youtube.com/watch?v=Zsrxv6…

@HistoryUnd @grok is it true that dads with high stress jobs tend to have daughters?

@rorynotsorry Sounds like a plan. Curious, what is the format of the stuff prior to lyophilization? A wet sludge?

I want to open up a sterile GMP lyophilizing facility that lyophilizes directly into pen cartridges instead of vials. VCs call me.

@ithacarising This book grabs you by the hair and drags you forward.

Jacques Barzun was the last of the proper cultural heavyweights. He was a one-man artillery of learning who could drop a 500 year history of the West on your lap at 93 and still leave you wanting more. While the rest of us were busy specialising ourselves into narrow little boxes, Barzun strolled through the whole shooting range - music, literature, education, even baseball - with the easy stride of a man who actually enjoyed civilisation and wasn't afraid to say so. His From Dawn to Decadence isn't just a book, it's a cathedral built out of sentences, each one polished until it glints. He taught Columbia's Great Books course like it mattered, because to him it did. He championed clarity, style, the whole liberal-arts ethos against the rising tide of jargon and decline. He received the Presidential Medal of Freedom the old-fashioned way: by defending the life of the mind against its reduction to mere public relations. Few ever matched his range or his refusal to be dull. As one of France's greatest exports to the US - Parisian by birth, thoroughly American by choice and formation - Barzun was cultured, witty, and unmistakably humane. A giant, and one we're unlikely to see again.

@andrewkphotos Wonderful stuff

@OrangeAlert3 Yup all handheld

Since my last F-117 post went so well, here’s another! I shot this from the side of a mountain I hiked along a low level flying route with my camera. I caught 2 of these guys that day.

@QueenAnticommie No

Once you hit a certain age you become permanently unimpressed by almost everything

Photographers, what camera are you using?📸

@jtlynch60 No eye contact. I repeat: no eye contact.

Good evening from Caprock Canyons State Park, home to the Texas' official State Bison herd.

@JosieMarcellino Don't know anything about your breasts but you've got a way with words.

@Naturalphilosy How'd it work out for him?

@Shirinsmit I was disappointed to learn it was G6 and not "cheese stick".

Absolutely hate to admit this, but I haven’t felt fly like a G6 in a long time

@jtlynch60 You're a talented rascal

If you're curious exactly where and how I took a photo, you can find the exact location and camera settings at my Flickr site. All my photos taken since 2009 are geotagged and sorted in albums. flickr.com/photos/jefflyn…

@redbirdracing @BigDickBarclay I have two of the Honeywell T6 thermostats. Each has a remote sensor which sets the temperature (no averaging multiple temperatures or 'smart' modes). This works great for me.

@BigDickBarclay Any recommendations for good tstat. Maybe even with a sensor(s) that could be set somewhere other than tstat location?

“I googled that stat and it’s only 20$ on amazon.” Okay man buy that one and install it yourself. I’m not your dad.

@wordsmithI @worldclick56 You can drive there on a pretty rough dirt road out of Pinedale.
