Narratively having Ever Given getting stuck in 2021 to set up Hormuz in 2026 is great foreshadowing. You want your audience to understand the basics of international shipping in a lower stakes context so you drop the real plot without a lot of saggy exposition about the minutiae of cargo logistics.

spaceweather.gov: With a broad range of user groups that range from the aviation community, to satellite programs, to general enthusiasts like pigeon racers-

I'm sorry, did you say PIGEON RACERS? AND WHY DO THEY CARE ABOUT SPACE WEATHER

TIL pigeon racers exist

No word yet on why space weather is relevant to pigeon racing

heyyyy, this one's a bandpass filter around 1 GHz. I just widened the passband and that got the capacitors up to values that only kind of scare me

I have no idea what I'm doing dot meme (golden retriever wearing glasses and a tie, sitting at a desk, typing on a laptop)

Fixed it by making the passband wider

Schematic of a bandpass filter generated by a filter design tool. One of the capacitors is in femtofarads, a unit so small it's like if your car's mileage were measured in thousandths of a millimeter

when the design is fucked

NTSB only does investigations - their rulemaking authority doesn't go beyond rules about what and how to investigate. I think it's NHTSA that actually makes highway rules.

But to your point, jfc please yes

"Y'all" in this case is car companies btw, not the NTSB. The NTSB is top notch.
