Your other reminder is you don’t owe anybody anything on social media. If some rando is hassling you or giving off bad vibes block their ass. There are billions of people out there you don’t owe them all any of your time

Heading says "Tale of two rivers: North and South Loup Rivers, Nebraska." Maps of the stream network within basins of the North Loup River upstream from Taylor, and the South Loup River upstream from St. Michael. The North Loup, in the Sandhills dune field, has a very sparse drainage network (low drainage density). The South Loup, in thick loess terrain, has a dense drainage network

Plot of daily discharge for the South and North Loup rivers, 1940s to 2024. The South Loup has large spikes of discharge separated by intervals of minimal flow. The North Loup has much steadier flow.

A tale of two rivers, acting the way you would expect them to, based on their basins.

(not the full basin of each river, used the parts above gages at Taylor and St. Michael which are roughly the same area)

If anyone from the UN wants to talk, here’s a nice summary. The astronomy community does NOT endorse this proposal, just take it from one of THE EXPERTS on ISOs with Rubin. Meg (and many others) has helped the community plan for +10yrs for these kinds of studies.

Forget King Kong, forget Spinosaurus. In honor of the 120th anniversary of the naming of Tyrannosaurus rex...we’re going to bash our cheap plastic dinosaur toys together and talk about a fight between T. rex and Triceratops.
