We need to get NIST to calibrate this as a derived unit from a Scaramucci.

The White House's decision to limit Starlink is what should worry Europe most. A single private network with its uptime decided in Washington is the dependency Kyiv has to design around, and Brussels should be funding a satcom backup now, not after the next cutoff.

Without clarifying the political push, and corrupt motives behind CM, I’m afraid geologists are, in general, inclined to think this is community-driven…because, minerals?

With your support, I will collect ancient wood from melting glaciers across the Alps (FR, CH, AT) to determine when these trees were alive and precisely measure glacier variations during the Holocene!

This looks like a hugely valuable resource. Like @canopyrobin.com says, it’s not just about fieldwork; it’s valuable for cis folks like me to more generally understand the experiences of trans people in their everyday lives! 🏳️‍⚧️

According to precedent the next presidential election is only two years away, so we really can’t confirm a new justice and should let the voters decide.

A lot of sighing about the Anthropocene rehashed debate today. And from my perspective not a lot of mirrors that I’m seeing in my fellow geoscientists.

This tracks. In Antarctica they use engine exhaust to burn holes in the névé and place a latrine over it. When it gets too full, cover it and burn a new hole. Rinse and repeat in a grid-like pattern. Gonna be some wild footage of calving ice in the coming centuries.

Une belle carte sur la Peste noire (de 1347 à 1352). L'épidémie se diffuse à partir de Marseille, puis de Narbonne. Notez l'importance de l'axe du Rhône (logique) mais aussi du couloir Narbonne-Bordeaux (plus inattendu à l'époque). Bilan : 30 à 60% de la pop meurt... ☠️
