Agreed. My problem is I have lived in NYC for 2 years and still haven't seen a Batman.

I think seeing Batman once/year would still be low enough an occurrence to be "rare". So assuming I see ~200 different people/day, this means I just need to inspire 1,164 NYC-ers to dress up as Batman daily.

Scientists Discover That People Act Way Better When Batman Is Present It turns out that the mere presence of a guy dressed as Batman is enough to turn dead inside commuters into momentary altruists.

It could propose a more efficient way to use energy, so in the long run the net energy lost would be less... but implementing whatever it suggests may not be straight forward or actually helpful.

Flight disruption warning as Airbus requests modifications to 6,000 planes The European aerospace giant said it had found that intense radiation from the Sun could corrupt data crucial to flight controls.

I am a little late in posting this, but mass cancellations result from discovery that computers installed on one of the most widely operated passenger planes could be vulnerable to interference from the sun.

Butterball recommends cooking a 18lbs turkey for 4.5h at 325. At this temperature the average oven draws 3,000 Watts, meaning the energy to oven cook a turkey is 48,600,000 J.

Internet says a 80 dB scream is 0.001 Watts, so you could also try screaming for 1,541 years. Could be a family activity 🦃

Not to the extent where they can completely stop/start "radiative transfer", but they play a role in how heating moves throughout the atmosphere and what undergoes the most/least transfer.

One of my geophysics "fun facts" is that what heats the Earth the most is the Earth itself.

This is b/c: 1) the Earth's atmosphere/surface converts so much of the Sun's wide spectrum of radiation (e.g. UV and visible 🌈) into infrared (heat), and 2) the Earth's atmosphere is good at trapping heat🌤️

Has anyone observed STEVE from Alaska? This is just a soft ask for now, but I am compiling a list of events to study further, and if you have a photo of STEVE from Alaska (specifically near Fairbanks), feel free to comment it below with a date, time, and location!

FLUMPH (Field-deployed L-band Unit for Monitoring Phase Hiccups) is my GPS receiver sitting next to the EOVSA LWA (Long Wavelength Array) in California.

Here is an article about the recent solar storm, it's significance, and what FLUMPH-LWA science we hope to do 🪼

D(E)AD was absolutely incredible! Had more heart than a lot of other films I have seen in the past year. Should definitely see it if you can 🎥

For the second time this semester my class asked me if I was okay 😂 #sciencegrind

‘Father’ and ‘dad’ are synonyms.

‘Figure’ and ‘bod’ are synonyms.

But, a ‘father figure’ and a ‘dad bod’ aren’t exactly the same thing…

OMG!! 🤩 SO LUCKY (we had clouds)
