Navy Set to Unplug Critical Hurricane Satellites this Week Abrupt termination of satellite data by U.S. Department of Defense sends forecasters scrambling for a fix on the brink of the busiest stretch of the hurricane season

If you think I've forgotten about the hurricane satellites, think again. The Navy is permanently unplugging them this week, on the brink of the busiest stretch of the season. There's so much more to this story, and I have the latest scoop. โฌ‡๏ธ

For folks who are thinking about induction cooking, I recommend starting with an induction hotplate, which are like $65 at Ikea or wherever. Most people are really happy with the cooking experience and often move half or more of their cooking to induction, even with just one "burner" available.

Agreed though I think they would happily take the rice. California rice is very good and theirs is artificially expensive

I was once listening to such lyrics while in an axe body spray befogged Lyft to DFW and I realized that they may also be interpreted as commandments. If you want to be one of us you must like [this product] and only [this product] and god forbid you like anything โ€œfancyโ€

Think it was @yanisvaroufakis.bsky.social who wrote that the problem with sunsets is that you canโ€™t charge money for them. I guess for *some people* itโ€™s the same thing with solar power

At a Large News Org where I once worked in the early 2000s we made audio slide shows, which used our correspondentsโ€™ voices, sometimes field audio like NPR, and photographs. It was maybe primitive relative to broadcast news but it hit the bandwidth sweet spot. Also photos are not just still video.

Maybe we should pluralize it as datas like โ€œdatosโ€ never mind the double plural risk that the Spanish laugh at in words like โ€œespaguetisโ€ ๐Ÿ

People canโ€™t say X anymore without me thinking they mean Twitter. German has the word Dingsbums โ€œdinksboompโ€ to mean โ€œsomethingโ€ and in French they say โ€œmachinโ€

Could you use one of those next time please
