The sky was just bright blue over casa del aerodork. If this is anything like the transformer explosion during Sandy, it may take a very long time to replace the equipment.

Send good vibes.
Words cannot adequately express my disappointment that this wasn't the alien reckoning we were promised by Hollywood.
@GlytchTech get your soldering iron and make your way over to the East River.

In the early hours of September 3, 1916, bombs joined the rain falling from the sky above London Colney and South Mimms, England.
Obscured by might, the crew of Zeppelin Schütte-Lanz SL 11 dropped their high explosive payload. Shortly after, they were picked up by searchlight above Hornsey and targeted by an ineffective barrage. They slipped into the clouds undamaged.
Roughly 15 minutes later, the monolithic SL 11 began bombing Ponders End. The ship was spotted again by searchlights at Waltham Abbey. This time, fighters scrambled into action.

Spacelab was a modular laboratory flown in the cargo bay of the Space Shuttle.
1-connecting tunnel between orbiter and Spacelab.
2-payload space hinges
3-footstalks
4-experimental unit
5-hyperbaric modules
6-external platform
7-infrared telescope
8-magnetic field probe
9-payload space
10-back side of front part of orbiter
There are not a lot of images of the connecting tunnel, which ran the length of the cargo bay. It was one of the most exposed places an astronaut could be on a shuttle mission.

Chaff has been thrown/dropped from aircraft since WW2 as a radar countermeasure, filling the air with clouds of reflective metal threads.
The early chaff forms were chopped wires or black paper backed with aluminum foil.
Chaff today is more threadlike.

while “retreat” is often used to mean an all day work session on something like the budget, it appears this time “city council retreat” means the worst, silliest kind of waste of time — ice breakers and trust building exercises
i’m about to bring you blow by blow coverage of an agonizing eight hour meeting. hold onto your hats, friends
charlottesville.org/home/showdocum…
it’s gonna be a long day - from here to the planning commission work session, then the civilian review board meeting. but this should be the last meeting marathon of 2018.

@mattfarina @Crell @sdboyer This is an absolutely fair criticism - we have not handled the community process around dependency management well. The core Go team was not involved early or often enough for that process to lead to a smooth landing. As tech lead for Go, that was my fault, and I apologize.
@mattfarina @Crell @sdboyer Ever since I wrote “go get,” we on the core Go team hoped the community would take care of dependency management. Keith Rarick's goven and then godep, and Matt Butcher's glide, and Dave Cheney's gb all seemed like promising steps toward a solution.
@mattfarina @Crell @sdboyer In spring 2015, Jason Buberel spent a while surveying these efforts and trying to understand how to unify them. The evidence he gathered clearly showed that a major impediment for all these tools was the lack of support in the go command for what we now call vendor directories.

just started talking to Pascal Lamy, who starts with "Brexit [is] like trying to remove an egg from an omelette". Mixing the omelette (ie the SM) took a very long time; extracting from it will also take a very long time, and will be 'very complex' and 'costly'.
He continues with the omelette, noting that the success of 'three baskets' will depend on how 'cooked' the omelette is. Uses cabotage as an example; both sides would like to retain the rules, but EU might attach conditions on driving/working hours. Is that acceptable to the UK?
Eg, separating out bits of the 'omelette' is going to be much more complicated than suggesting policy areas can fall within 'three baskets' acknowledges, per Lamy.

Almost all of the Road Runner cartoons are available via the @BoomerangToons app.

I subscribed for $5 & decided I'm gonna watch & tweet about 'em all in chronological order, even the later, terrible ones, for which I have an irrational affection.

Here we go.

Boomerang lists them alphabetically not chronologically so Chuck Jones masterpieces sit side-by-side with 1960s atrocities (& later 'revival' attempts.)

I am going to start at the beginning. I will also be including Wile E. Coyote/Bugs Bunny & Ralph Wolf/Sam Sheepdog shorts, FYI
September 17, 1949: "Fast And Furry-ous"

Chuck Jones intended this short to be a parody of cat & mouse "chase" cartoons. Instead, he accidentally created the definitive chase cartoon series of all time.
