As if a “grenade type” device would actually breach a dam. It takes more than that, but the threat is indeed real. It’s why a bypass bridge across the canyon below Hoover Dam was built…to keep the potential of a semi-truck loaded with explosives being detonated on the dam would be eliminated. It’s also why you can’t get tours inside the dam anymore. I was lucky to get one years ago. Still have the hard-hat.

Yesterday, Divers doing a routine maintenance check at the Converse Reservoir Dam in Mobile, AL discovered an underwater grenade type IED. The FBI bomb squad had to be called in to safely detonate it. The Reservoir and Dam are critical infrastructure, and this is being called “an unprecedented threat“ The U.S. Department of Homeland Security has been made aware of the situation.

@4nt1p4tt3rn We can see light from stuff that was 14 b. LY away 14 b. yrs ago, but it's way farther than that now. And anything that was 15 b. LY away 14 b. yrs ago, we won't see for another 1 b. yrs, and it's even farther away and more than 1 b. LY beyond the first thing now. Is that right?

A persistent problem I have with astronomy and astrophysics: "Spacetime is expanding faster than the speed of light. There are large portions of the universe that we will never see, because they have moved so far away, so fast, that their light cone will never catch up to us." coupled with: "The universe is a bit over 14 billion years old. We're now seeing stellar objects that formed just a few hundred thousand years after the Big Bang, when the hydrogen-helium plasma cooled enough to start forming mass." You can't have both. Either we're peering back in time to just after everything sprang into existence, or there's a large part of the universe we'll never witness. One contradicts the other. Either we can potentially observe all that is, or our observable universe is only a potentially small portion thereof. It also amuses me that Hubble was the one who discovered the redshift that led to the expanding universe theory, and his namesake telescope was used to posit our ability to see almost to the beginning of creation.

One of my favorite rap songs is this Project Pat one where the chorus is “Still ridin’ clean, makin’ cheese and gettin’ muh d**k sucked”. Anyway. That’s just like Ancient Greek epics.

Christopher Nolan explains why he cast Travis Scott in ‘THE ODYSSEY’: “I cast him because I wanted to nod towards the idea that this story has been handed down as oral poetry, which is analogous to rap.” (Source: time.com/article/2026/0…)

@adamlwingfield Yeah but I've already seen it multiple times with human drivers 😂 Nobody wants to stop and figure out why the truck in front of them is stopped. It's just go go go and jam up the fuel lanes or the whole parking lot. Same shit on the highway with every car jamming up traffic.

This didn't need to be so complicated for casting. Sydney Sweeney as Helen of Troy ... $1 billion box office smash.

Chatter among Shane van Gisbergen's crew over the 97 radio as they watch their driver charge towards the front "I don't know how this is gonna play out, but it's badass." "Yeah, it's awesome."

Shane van Gisbergen's crew tells him he's up to P12. SVG doesn't want to know that. "Yeah, I don't care about that. ... Every lap at the line or out of Turn 1, tell me how many laps to go, how many seconds to the lead."
