@HarryMaguire93 "could of" stay home and learn the language

I was confident I could of played a major part this summer for my country after the season I’ve had. I’ve been left shocked and gutted by the decision. I’ve loved nothing more than putting that shirt on and representing my country over the years. I wish the players, all the best this summer 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

@sewarespekt @michalpur "jezdil" jste MHD nebo jste se vozil v křesílku? Holt pohodlí něco stojí.

@michalpur Zcela upřímně, doprava byl jeden z důvodu, proč jsem před časem změnil job. Jezdil jsem Praha - Středočeský kraj a zpět. A jako to nešlo, prostě nesmuchlám část života a nevyhodím ji, jen kvůli politickým aktivistickým ňoumům co nerespektují potřeby obyčejného lidu.

V roce 2017 ztratil průměrný pražský řidič v kolonách 24 hodin ročně. Loni to bylo 106 hodin (TomTom). To je nárůst o 342 procent, přičemž congestion level je 53 procent. To znamená, že v průměru cesta trvá o polovinu déle, než při volné jízdě. Ve večerní špičce je congestion level 97 procent!!! Podle jiného indexu INRIX je Praha 9. nejucpanějším městem Evropy a situace se rychleji zhoršuje jen v Lisabonu a Ljublani. Ujet 10 km ráno trvá v průměru 27 minut a večer 32 minut. Bonusová otázka na závěr. Kdo nastoupil v roce 2018 do vedení města?

@DJSnM @NASAAdmin Drive safe Scott

Yesterday while driving to the airport for a training flight I heard @NASAAdmin talking about the impact flashes observed by Artermis II crew on the dark side of the moon. Specifically I heard these described as 'Micrometeorites' and thought they would be bigger, so it got my brain running on estimating the actual size of these objects based on what I knew. By the time I got to the airport 10 minutes later I had concluded the mass of these impactors is kilograms, so not 'micro' meteors, and that's not a dig at Jared by any means, for his EVA on Polaris Dawn he had almost certainly discussed micrometeorites, things the size of a grain of sand, that could damage the suit. But, what I really want to talk about is the mental arithmetic I did while driving, because I do these order of magnitude estimates for all sorts of questions. So I don't have any deep understanding of how bright the flashes would have been to be visible to the crew, I don't have a deep understanding of human visual acuity. But I started from the assumption that this is comparable to a faint star appearing for a second or so. I know the absolute magnitude of the sun is 4.8, that's how bright the sun appears at 10 parsecs. That's towards the fainter end of stars, and if one appeared for a fraction of a second it might register. I know a Parsec is 206265AU. (and 206265 is number of arc seconds in a radian). I also know the solar constant at earth is about 1370W/m^2. So to get the solar flux at 10 parsecs I'd have to divide by 2062650^2 - but that's too much math, just approximate to (2*10^6)^2 - or 4x10^12. dividing 1370 by 4 is roughly 350 or 3.5x10^2 Which puts solar illumination at 10parsecs at about 3.5x10^-10 W/m^2 So that's my standard light flux for 'faint star'. Let's now assume the flash lasts 1 second to avoid adding extra math, change watts into joules. Now, reverse this and figure out the energy of the object on the moon, for that we'd need to know how far they were from the moon. And I didn't carry that around in my head, but, I knew the closest approach was about 4000 miles, and the eclipse was past closest approach. So I used the number of 10,000km because that's 10^7m making the math easy - I need the square of that so 10^14. To figure out the energy emitted we take the energy per square meter and multiply it by the surface area of the sphere with a radius equivalent to astronaut's viewing distance. Take that 3.5x^-10J and multiply it by 4xPIx10^14 4 Pi is about 12.5, so I use 3.5x12.5 as about 40 (because I know 12.5x4 = 50). It's about 7% low but I don't care for small errors. So total energy is 4x10^5J. But that's just the energy that comes out as light, the energy of an impactor mostly goes into other forms, I learned this while making my video on @NASAAmes Vertical Gun Range. I know it's between 0.01-1% of the kinetic energy that comes out as light. So, using 10^-3 that gives impactor energy of 4x10^8J Now figure out the impactor mass, impact speeds are 10-15km/sec, remember kinetic energy goes as v^2. Now you might think that 10km/sec gets you a nice factor of 10^8, but then you need to multiply the mass by a factor of 2 (because of 1/2 m v^2). But if you use 14.14km/sec then that eliminates the factor of 2, and puts the velocity closer to the high end. So, point is I just adjust the energy by 10^8 and leave the 4 part as my mass estimate. 4kg of course. Not a micrometeorite. So, my mass estimate for an impactor is on the order of a few kilograms, but there's massive error bars here, because I don't know how bright the flashes looked to the astronauts, I don't have a detailed model of the human visual system or the luminance conversion efficiency of meteorites. I have an order of magnitude estimate I did in my head while driving, and 90% of the process is just multiplying by powers of 10, simply adjusting the exponent. Sure you have to carry numbers around like the solar constant, absolute magnitude of the sun etc. But I bet many of you have esoteric numbers you carry around in your heads. I then proceeded to go flying and feel soundly humbled by ATC overloading my brain.

@AndySaunders_1 Shouldn't it be earthset for Artemis and earthrise for Appolo?

Some of this new imagery is uncannily familiar. Bottom image: representing the end of the Apollo program - Earthset on the final Apollo mission (Apollo 17). Top image: representing the start of a new era - Earthrise on the first crewed Artemis mission (Artemis II).

@KrisOfAllTrades @adamscochran Honest question: how is Axios involved?

@adamscochran Just line up the Axios tweets

Currently doing a deep dive on the insider trading related to Trump’s war announcements. I knew it was large, but, there is A LOT more than is seen at first glance. It looks like it’s much more coordinated, may include complicit journalists and is over $100B+ in notional value traded. If you have any tips, or anything you’ve seen that you think is suspicious related to trading, news scoops, or that may link journalists or headline news aggregator accounts personally to Trump’s inner circle (such as hey this guy went to school with Jared!) drop me a DM so I can pull at that thread.

@ChrisOn50570948 @naomirwolf Valid question but apparently not an Artemis image.

@ChrisOn50570948 @naomirwolf It's a full moon now. Does the Sun light on both near and far side? The spacecraft actually was in an eclipse, so this is a valid question.

@unwoketradwife @Matt_Collect @mattvanswol @NASA @jeremypmurphy But now it's "digitally altered" 😱

@Matt_Collect @mattvanswol @NASA @jeremypmurphy Oh maybe that’s why I couldn’t reply 😂 thank you for flipping it the correct way for comparison. I wonder why they wouldn’t just do that for us 🤷🏽‍♀️ who knows. This should help me make a better side by side.

@CSI_Starbase Dude I love your rocket content but you are so clueless when it comes to F1

Max Verstappen crashes Everyone: Clearly the cars fault.

@MaybeJusSayin @SecWar @boyscouts Yes, keep the children separated! Boys and girls, rich and poor, black and white, religions, nationalities. We don't want them to realize we're all different but equal. That is the only way to lead into the brave new world. Hail Hegseth!

@SecWar LOVE IT!!! This is past due. @boyscouts should NEVER have given into DEI and done away with BOY scouts. The girls already have Girl Scouts, I don't know why they needed to make Boy Scouts co-ed. BAD decision. Why can't both have their own spaces?!

The Department of War has officially put Scouting America on notice. It’s time to get back to basics — and DoW is leading the charge.

@EdgesBenson @BrandonStraka Maybe just don't cheat, if you don't want to be called out on it lol

@BrandonStraka Swedish curling wouldn’t be where they are without Canadians allowing them to live, train and compete in Canada. Total slap in the face by team edin and the Swedish organization and media. Team edin, hasselborg and wrana should be banned from Canadian and gsoc curling events.

NEW: Canada’s Marc Kennedy claims Olympic cameras were “premeditated” to catch his team after they were filmed ‘double-touching’ a stone. Sweden says they’ve warned about alleged Canadian cheating for 7–8 years.

@BBCSport There's one tune I've heard over and over again playing on site at the #bigair events at the Olympics. Clubby type tune. Any idea what it might be?

Hey, @grok - why was the response you provided deleted? Was it done by you or by someone who works for X? Here is a screenshot of the deleted response:

This country was built up by all sorts of people who believed in the free market and opportunities only it could have provided, and not in utopian communist delusions.

Beavers build a dam that local authorities had been planning for seven years, saving them $1.2 million. A project to restore wetlands in the Brdy Landscape Park in Czech Republic had been in development since 2018. But it turned out to be unnecessary—local beavers, which have lived in the park since 2020, took matters into their own hands, building dams in the required locations.

@jshepherdjr64 @icon7482 @manniefabian You were if the CIA and FBI weren't too busy infighting. That's not a conspiracy theory, that is the result of your investigation btw.

@icon7482 @manniefabian Were we able to stop 9/11? Don't be a tool.

The Mossad spy agency reveals footage showing its actions against Iranian air defenses and ballistic missile launchers in Iran this morning. According to an Israeli official, the Mossad built a secret explosive drone base in Iran for this morning's operation. The drones were used to strike ballistic missile launchers at a base near Tehran, preventing Iran from firing projectiles at Israel as this morning's strikes began. Additionally, vehicles carrying weapons systems were smuggled into Iran. These systems took out Iran's air defenses and gave Israeli planes air supremacy and freedom of action over Iran. A third covert effort involved Mossad commandos deploying precision missiles near anti-aircraft sites in central Iran.
