I wish Trump brought this heat he has against Iran against our own deep state here in America We can bomb civilian infrastructure in Iran but we can't even arrest a single rogue judge here in America Not a single deep state imprisonment Not even the insurrection act

@barnes_law @Timcast Kent is correct. Israel is the conflict instigator.

@Timcast No, it's what's necessary to keep the peace.

is the response to Trump backing off just to antagonize everyone??

@SpaceflightGuy Well, the way that crew is having fun and joking while they're working, I suspect they might be mimicking that sound even if they don't hear it.

On Apollo 10, the Astronauts heard an eerie whistling sound they described was sort of like “space music” as they passed behind the far side of Moon. It turned out to be interference with the radio during the planned loss of communication. Let’s see if this happens again in about an hour from now.

@Drewtamu Just need to cut down on the mistake fastballs that are getting jacked. The offense is as good as the CWS team in 2024. Pitching is close...

@tracybeanz @NbergWX Pic at right shows estimate of amount of rainfall per hour at bottom (bar chart). You're on the coast, so you're going to get 1-2 inches and nothing for a while, so the averages don't mean so much. But it gives you a feel for the likelihood, map estimates when.

@tracybeanz @NbergWX Examples from NOAA weather app for Orlando tomorrow.

RAIN: Lots of showers and storms coming to central Florida through Thursday. Some places will get significant totals towards the drought situation. More east, less to the west. Pockets of flooding are possible on the Space Coast and I-95 corridor at times with a few places that may get over 7" of rain through Thursday PM. Tuesday & Wednesday are the highest and most widespread chances for rain this week.

@tracybeanz @NbergWX Note the pic on left has a time at bottom. It shows you the movement of the storm over 50 min's, I think. That gives you an idea of when a big band will approach your path, how long it will drench you, and when it will pass. I live btwn Hou & Galveston. Use this all the time.

@tracybeanz @NbergWX I tried to tell you to use the NOAA app. It has rain totals and wind by hour, which will tell you a lot for coastal conditions. It has NOAA weather maps showing rain bands including color-coded intensity and speed it's moving.

@SBakerMD Were you in a frat at UTMB? Did you know Rob B., resident in anesthesia? He was from Dickinson...

Anyway a few days later the kid died and I have to admit I had mixed emotions about it! I survived the month went on to finish out my residency and practice orthopedics. I’ve had plenty of tough experiences over my life but the cumulative stress plus complete exhaustion of that experience will always stand out!

It was the worst month of my life!! September 2001, I was a surgical intern at the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston, Texas and I was doing a rotation at the Shriner Pediatric Burn Hospital. Now remember this was back in the day before they passed laws limiting how many hours you were allowed to work and historically surgical residency has often been fairly abusive. Long hours, little sleep and consistently being berated was a pretty typical experience for many residents, more so with the surgical ones. My size, being 6’5” and 280 lbs, coupled with the fact that I pretended to be slightly unstable kept my beratement to a minimum. Size has its advantages! Anyway, the burn hospital had the reputation among the residents as a pretty hellish experience and I was right in the middle of it. When you saw another colleague around the hospital and they asked you what rotation were you doing and you said Shriner’s, it was alway met with an “ouch, hang in there” or something similar. As an intern, even though you just finished medical school, you are basically at the level of an idiot, when it comes to managing patients. And the Shriner Burn hospital was filled with critically burned little kids in the intensive care unit where you were assigned. Now as I was just at the beginning of my journey I had not yet become used to the constant fatigue that I would learn to embrace over the next 5 years of my orthopedic residency. After 4 years of college, 4 more years of medical school I was about 60% of the way through my education, but the light at the end of the tunnel was still a long way off. Residents in general, were largely just cheap labor for the hospitals as our salaries were way less than minimum wage given the number of hours we were expected to work and quitting was never a good option. Orthopedic surgical spots were extremely competitive and highly coveted among medical students and if you were not in the top 10% of your medical school class good luck getting in. Fortunately, I was a very good medical student, good grades, good at standardized testing and a hard worker. I got my spot and wasn’t going to let being tired or anything else deter me from finishing. As I mentioned sleep was a luxury during residency, some months better than others. Over the years I can remember being so exhausted that I would be falling asleep while standing up assisting in surgery. It was a common trick to clamp non penetrating towel clips to our arms, chests or even nipples in order that the pain would keep us awake during surgery. I remember many times I avoided sitting down in the clinic because the second I sat down I would immediately fall asleep. The burn hospital was the worse place for not being able to sleep. We were on what is known as Q2 call, which means every other night you would be staying at the hospital on call to take care of the sick kids and often would be up all night. This coupled with the typical daily schedule which started at around 4 am and often lasted to 10 pm meant that you basically worked 40 hrs straight, went home for 7-8 hours and then did another 40 hours over and over again for the whole month. 120-130 hours per week was the average for the month rotation and that aspect really beat you up. Now, the guy who ran the hospital, was a world renowned burn surgeon named David Herndon, who I think might still be the chief of staff there. Anyway the rumor was that he was a little bit crazy and the staff and burn fellows were terrified of him. He was loud, yelled a lot and had no problem letting someone know that they were an idiot in front of the entire staff. Morning rounds with him was a stressful event. Each intern, residents, and fellow would be responsible for 2-3 of the ICU kids and we’d walk around the ICU going from bed to bed presenting our patients when it was our turn. It was always a dog and pony show with about 20 people following Dr

@tracybeanz @tropicalupdate I find the NOAA app good enough... has forecast, hourly predictions for temp, rain, etc., and has weather maps.

@tropicalupdate Mike, I am on the Treasure Coast. I can't find a single solitary weather person who can give me an accurate (or even up to date) forecast. Have any suggestions?!

Rainfall totals for the week are inching up there... for the east side of the state that is. Some big numbers starting to show overall. Great for those in drought! Isolated pockets daily might bring some quick totals too. spaghettimodels.com

@BrianKuszmar Yes, with most of my energy spent toughening up my young adult kids. But they'd come around.

In your lifestyle's current configuration, as of today, if all the power and communications were to shut down for a month, could you survive on your own?

@rickeyp2121 @WallStreetApes The reality is WE are the product.

@WallStreetApes The truth is these companies that want us on subscription everything should be paying US to use their products. Our data should be ours to sell, not theirs to steal.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton recently filed a lawsuit against the 5 largest TV brands in the United States over their use of “Automatic Content Recognition” “If you are showing family photos or family homemade movies on your smart tv, automatic content recognition is taking a screen capture twice a second, every half a second. It takes a screenshot, sends that back to the mothership, and that's being used because we have to know what you're watching, educational content, religious content, whatever it is you're watching, somebody wants to know. And the rationale for this, well, we can better target ads” ‘ACR takes a screenshot of whatever is on your TV screen (including cable TV shows, streaming services, Xbox, PlayStation, Roku, Apple TV, home movies and photos streamed from your phone or laptop, etc.) and sends those screen captures back to the manufacturer so they can keep track of EVERYTHING you watch on “your” TV’

@johnkonrad I work at JSC, lead one of the teams that builds and maintains all computer systems for training. Been there for 40+ yrs. Never saw it buzzing like it was Wed. My mom said it was like that for the Apollo launches and moon landings. We must all know this is more.

I saw my step-brother-in-law at Easter. Not a military guy. Fantastic guy, but we are into very different things. He runs an organic yogurt marketing firm in NYC and runs marathons. I was a little nervous because I’m getting a security clearance for a side project and had to list ALL family members. He is not a military or government person in any way. He knows my son is a Space Operations minor @ERAU_Daytona and is always supportive, but more like a good uncle than an enthusiast. Politely interested. Asks nice questions. Changes the subject. Anyway, he just got back from a family trip to Miami. I asked him casually if he could see the launch from that far south. His face absolutely lit up. “We had front row seats!” “What do you mean?” He meant he packed the whole family into the car on a whim and drove to Cape Canaveral. I have known this man for years. I have never seen him light up like that. Not about yogurt. Not about marathons. Not about anything. He was talking about that rocket the way people talk about something that changed them. There is something happening in America right now. Some rekindling of something deep. The kind of thing you can’t manufacture with a marketing campaign or a policy paper. A yogurt marketing guy from the suburbs drove his kids hours on a whim to watch fire push metal into the sky, and came home looking like he’d seen going of to the - how did that kid on CNN put it? - “F’n moon” It’s an exciting time to be American

@GroundedTurbo @IndianaGPA Just FYI that a simple wooden box costs $850 in late 2021.

@IndianaGPA Simple wooden box for me please

I didn't realize how much was involved. Thank you for what you do and the respect you do it in 🙏

@rcb05 @FortressHouston A&M has had active participation in the space program at least since mid 80's. My electrical engineering senior design project was to design an experiment that would deploy on the shuttle. And we were not the first Aggie team. Believe the building and plan came from a grant.

@FortressHouston Just spitballing here but maybe they prioritized the school that had the better aerospace program over geography.

NASA is 15 minutes from campus… How did we let the Aggies beat us to the punch on this? 🤦🏻‍♂️

@PatrickByrne I'm willing to bet those people are disarmed. Not gonna be able to push things very far in Texas.

Coming soon to a town in Nebraska near you
