There are also the HLSPs, of course.

I mean, that's a trace!

No, not really. Tom's STARCAT is closest.

I just submitted a paper wherein the citations failed when I updated the version of AASTEX. I reverted to the old version and hoped for the best.

Roman history with Karl Galinsky. An excellent contrast from EE classes.

I'm not in an networking state of mind but Todd, Mike, et al. were like "this sounds like a Cyndi conference." lol

And my flight was cancelled. Might be a message from on high.

So you’re saying I should stay home.

I'm in a field with many jobs in Hawaii (astronomy). The main issue is distance from...well, everything else, particularly family. When you have aging parents, or your kids leave because they can't find jobs, it drives people off the islands.

But my freedom...

After reading the TX Monthly story about the family that was swept away, that was the first thing I said to my husband. His sister lives in a house on stilts next to a river. She is very proactive about evacuating b/c of her animals, but more warning is better.

My mistake was getting too fancy and missing that I mis-matched the coordinates and the proper motion epoch. At least your targ is 127 pc away!

I have done that once and it still haunts me (even though the target was later observed in the UV).

Let me know if you have questions. I can also help with the budget proposal.

Well the news is awful, but at least Blacker Friday is being very good to me.

I've developed a sudden addiction to crossword puzzles. I guess it's my age. Next I'll be looking for pickleball games and scheduling bird-watching vacations.

My great aunt was a pastor in the United Church of Christ. She used to get arrested during protests in D.C. So I was very confused when I encountered the Church of Christ when I moved to TX at 16 and didn't realize it was a different denomination. You prohibit dancing??

Dave Brain is always good at showing up and giving talks on this.

The worst was when "erasable pens" came out. What a mess!

/10 The circumstances strongly suggest to me that ICE and the U.S. Attorney's office deliberately slow-walked the case so he'd have to spend the weekend in custody, knowing that he'd bail out as soon as he went to court. Contemptible.

/3 Note that the alleged assault amounts to throwing BACK a tear gas canister that was thrown at protestors. It’s not assault if they throw tear gas at you but it’s assault if you throw it back. Hey ICE emphasizes they threw UNDERHAND.

/8 As I pointed out last week the CDCA USAO is engaging in dubious prosecution of protestors, and must be watched carefully.

there has never in history been something so clearly intended to become a larry david skit

Season 4 of Blackadder captures all the bleak humor of this.

Honest question for the historians of empires: is the end always this stupid or are we breaking new ground here?

It's always this stupid. Always.
