“Basically they are like landfills, but wet landfills,” said Gregory B. Baecher, a member of the National Academy of Engineering and a professor at the University of Maryland.

I do wish they’d stopped for a sec and talked it through. Those kinds of things are sometimes more for the audience than the characters, to show thoughtfulness and point out the ethical issues around it. The episode was only 43 minutes long, they certainly had the time to spare.

Someone who truly believes the moon landing was a conspiracy and a hoax perpetrated by NASA and the United States government cannot be dissuaded from this belief by reason alone. Try explaining to the conspiracy theorist that, for instance, the moon landing took place in the early hours of dawn when temperatures are much cooler, or that there were no solar flares during the times of the Apollo voyages, or that the aluminum hull of the Apollo spacecraft was designed to insulate the astronauts against radiation of the kind one might find in the Van Allen belt, and the facts will fall on deaf ears.

That’s actually why I loved the episode First Contact itself. It was a more realistic portrayal of probably what the Federation does when making first contact with a new world by researching them and get a sense how well they would be able handle the idea of meeting a new species. And first contact isn’t made with a shuttle landing on the capitol’s lawn alerting the world at once but by meeting the leaders first and disseminating the idea through them before the public knows. I can’t remember how long the process takes but it sounded like years and much more methodical.

In May 1960, the Richmond SPCA held its Be Kind to Animals Week to promote membership. Here, the organization’s Mrs. Samuel B. Taylor accepted a 50-cent payment from Deborah, a 4-month-old chimpanzee.

Kurtzman confirmed we will see them this season. But I never thought they could have a tie in to the Red Angel arch but that would be interesting if they are.

EVEN IF this work absolutely shows an increase in DLR due to CO₂ (and, it might), there is still the same gap, between an increase in DLR and planetary warming. As pointed out in Ramanathan & Collins 1991, just because you have all the things you like, increased DLR, water-vapour-amplification, and (localized) heating … it doesn’t (in the the case studied by them) cause planetary warming.

Any time I see one of these flights thru an asteroid field, I wonder why they aren’t deploying the Deflector to maximum.

Brynn Cartelli, “Last Night’s Mascara” | What the what? The new single by Season 14’s winner, which she also wrote, is about the last thing that I expected from her after her poptastic, Julia Michaels-penned “Walk My Way.” It leaned more toward the rock side of pop-rock than the pop side — or, if you will, more toward torn-up jeans than to glittery eyeshadow. But it was catchy as hell, and Brynn had the voice to pull it off. Now I’m really curious to see what her album will sound like.

I’m asking James, and he repeatedly flings Harries 2001, Feldman, and a few others, as “evidence”

The copper equivalent (CuEq) calculation represents the total metal value for each metal, multiplied by the conversion factor, summed and expressed in equivalent copper percentage.  Grades have not been adjusted for metallurgical or refining recoveries and the copper equivalent grades are of an exploration nature only and intended for summarising grade.  The copper equivalent calculation is intended as an indicative value only.  The following copper equivalent conversion factors and long-term price assumptions have been adopted: Copper Equivalent Formula (CuEq) = Cu% + (Au (ppm) x 0.6378).  Based on a copper price of $2.60/lb and a gold price of $1,300/oz.
