this is why it's important to have an RJ45 port on your laptop... (although.... looks like it's a realtek with the r8169 driver)

I have it on my laptop because it's the most convenient way to download datasets from various repositories (e.g. NASA Earth Data).

a gamma-ray burst is something wholly different from this. One on Earth would be unlikely to be observed for long enough to register before everyone is pulverized.

I've launched a radiosonde once! At summit station, Greenland in 30 kt winds. It was flapping against my head repeatedly, then I let go and it flew away so fast... Also helped launch one at the south pole but I wasn't the one who

The two smallish towns I've spent significant time in (Tomah WI and Palestine TX) both have difficult to walk to Walmarts. But glad to hear it's not universal! I see from Google maps that here in Illinois the situation seems to be

Huh? I'm not in great shape but I get 2km of walking a day just with my commute. According to my watch I've averaged 13k steps a day this week (something like 9-10 km a day, I think?). Ironically the days I walk the least are when
