@astro_Pettit @Space_Station I’m honestly more impressed that you made your own tracking mount and aligned it with the orbital plane than by the fact you traveled to space to get the shot. Great work!

We found an old photo from the 1940s of my mother in law who died in 2011 at age 92. In the photo she was reading a copy of The New York Daily News. Using my newspapers.com subscription, I found the exact same edition and was able to precisely date the photo. Also was able to read through the entire paper including ads, giving us a great sense of connection to the time.

One of my favorite follows (& also a very important resource for research) is @_newspapers they have over 30K newspapers & 1 billion pages of United States news archives (some European as well)
They provide perspective into why things happened but also quirky stories like this

In 1940, an address mix-up led an auctioneer to accidentally sell the Goodwin family’s home of 16 years instead of the house next door! See this clipping in The Berkshire County Eagle on our site. @BerkshireEagle newspapers.com/article/the-be…

@Rasmussen_Poll Here is a very similar sculpture at the marina in Marina Grande, Capri. Same artist?

@walterkirn Thanks, but the Church Lady beat you to it: How conveeeeeeeenient.

I hope I prepared you all over the last year for these "events" with my Age of Luigi stuff:

@thewaronbeauty And person to person interaction is being replaced by pre-programmed transactions with anonymous systems that have no accountability.

Two small business next door to each other.
Everything is being replaced with Private Equity / corporate chains.
Extremely sad.

@psupisky @niccruzpatane I think it must mean 420 watts per panel, for a total of about 5,000 watts. There are 12 large panels shown. They look to be approximately the size of 400 watt panels, certainly not each only 35 watts.

@niccruzpatane 420 watts? Really. 4 lamps? I love tesla. I have a tesla. But this doesn't sound like anything worth crowing about.

Here’s how Tesla’s new Solar Panels look installed on a roof. They’re beautiful.
• 420W
• Mounts on existing roof.
• 18 Total Solar Power Zones (vs Standard 6) enables more production during mornings and evenings (equals to about 6 extra days/yr of production).
• 25 Year Warranty
• Low Profile Installation with no visible fasteners.
• 33% faster installation by using a groove-based frame system for streamlined assembly.
• 71.1” x 44.7” x 1.57” (including frame)

@ResisttheMS So they’ll just keep driving them with expired stickers?

JUST IN: Illegals can no longer register vehicles in Texas.

That’s quite pricey. I built my own 12 kWh backup system for less than $2,000. It will recharge phones, keep lights on, power my full size fridge, 65 inch tv, toaster oven, computer and GFiber router (or Starlink if GFiber signal goes out) for 4 days, or longer if my 2 200-watt solar panels get sun. LiFePO4 battery prices have really come down. You can get good ones for $0.10/kWh.

True, install a @Tesla Powerwall to have uninterrupted power for your house.
When your utility goes down, you will be one of the few in your neighborhood with working lights, working refrigerator and able to charge all your devices.

Bringing energy storage to the home is like indoor plumbing. Your toilet tank has storage. Your water heater is storage. You don't know it yet, but you're electrically living like you're in the 1930s.

Say what you know to be true, act in ways you know to be right and effective. But don’t suffer from the delusion that you have all the answers, or ever will.

@evanbkatz @BogdanDidic That would explain all the contrails in the sky tonight.
English
@BogdanDidic Ok but hear me out, what if it was a stunt to make us all feel like something weird is going on.
