It was -21 degrees, according to my car, at Tudor & Elmore a few minutes ago. #anchorage

I just looked up what "Hamnet" was about for the first time. I was pretty disappointed. #noham

Snapped these super moon shots this morning. Is it just me, or is it slightly wider than it is tall? Some kind of perception distortion or optical illusion?

Just felt several seconds of shakey shakeys at my house near Kincaid Park in #Anchorage. Maybe this one?

Oh nm. The original application letter from 2023 says it's specifically for "during periods of execessive summer heat" even on those warmest days, less water than what's permitted is expected to be used

Very interesting. Got an HVAC or engineering question.

If your building is in urban Alaska and needs industrial cooling, wouldn't it be way more economical most of the year to steer that excess heat somewhere worthwhile, instead down the storm drain?

From 'Crossfire' to 'CeaseFire': C-SPAN executive launches program that promotes common ground For many years when he worked at CNN, Sam Feist was a producer for β€œCrossfire,” which highlighted often loud political differents.

"CeaseFire" as the name of a show is so provocative! But not in a spicy chili pepper way. It's more like the underappreciated bleu cheese with a hot wing -- that facilitates eating more hot wings. #media #politics

So that plane is right-side up under the ice, and the people are sitting on top of the top side of the wing.

Which means somehow, it appears that the plane did a 180 (or 540 or 900, etc) before it came to rest under the ice.

But that would mean the people are sitting on the underside of the plane's wings. But that's not right, because then the fuselage would be above the ice. And also, you can see in other photos of the plane on a tarmac somewhere that the underside of the wings are white and the topside is green.

You can see the lines where the plane made its landing approach on top of the ice, and the prop end of the plane under the ice facing the approach.

At first, I thought the plane's gear got hung up above the ice, and the front end kept going, and spun around until it was upside down under the ice.

I will stay up a little thinking about what this means, but presumably will rest before I fully figure it out

#PetPeeve: When anyone says they "Will not rest until X" when X is a thing that will obviously take more time to resolve than they can humanly work without rest.

I appreciate the sentiment, but it always strikes me as a blatant lie. Maybe a robot could say it honestly?

NASA issues update on chance of asteroid hitting Earth The 2024 YR4 asteroid is currently the most dangerous space object near Earth.

"The odds of the 2024 YR4 asteroid hitting the Earth have increased from 1 percent to 2.3 percent, but experts say this was expected and are not worried about it."

www.newsweek.com/2024-yr4-ast...

I would appreciate it if some experts would worry about this for the rest of us, please.

6-year-old Jeremy would be so stoked! πŸŽ…

I guess grown up Jeremy is also stoked, but for different reasons.

Ugh. Woke up with a flat tire. Found this. It got ... screwed? Sounds like an easy patch job for an auto shop, though.

At the end of last ski season, I forgot to take this pin off the zipper pull of my ski instructor employee jacket when I turned it in.

I had ski instructor rehire orientation today, and my pin found its way back to me. So satisfying! #lostandfound #alaska #psia
