1. A Twitter colleague directed my to an old abandoned US project that sought to develop a nuclear powered cruise missiles in the 60s. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_P…
Proposed at a time our SBIRS were still in early stage of development and I'd bet a boatload the systems now would
2. spot these and our aircraft could simply shoot it down. But in the world of Putin trying to give Trump and excuse to surrender to the Kremlin that might work. And why develop it at at ship yard? I'm still standing with propaganda weapon but at least it passes the first
3. test of all propaganda: Some minimal degree of plausible believably.

1. I'm often critical of MSM but, in all candor, they are doing as well as news reporting can likely do in this information war. They are limited in their ability to accurately report because Trump & Kremlin know to never give them time to take a breath & assess the battlespace.
2. But I'm not a news reporter. I can do the analysis that they can't do either because it's not in their skill set or, more likely, because they still don't get the big picture. The folks on cable news like @FrankFigliuzzi1 get it but he's trained to not show all his cards.
3. Okay, let's examine white supremacism and the recent attacks with a mind towards stopping them. First, this phenomenon greatly expanded in Europe and has recently exploded. When Syria's civil war started, because I had spent so much time in Germany, I knew what was coming.

1. South Dakota Sturgis Bike Rally was not Trump country this year? So destruction of US farmers does matter? @RoundsforSenate may find himself in a horse race if @TheDemocrats can find strong candidate. Wanted: Person to fight to save #SouthDakota from the #OrangeMenace.
2. I had Rounds in my "Safe Seven" group. He's going in the barrel with #LeningradLindsey and #MoscowMitch McConnell my endangered species group. Funny how much folks can take but when you go after their farms, perhaps you've gone too far.

@LindseyGrahamSC @senatemajldr
3. Let's give our friends in the @SoDakDems a follow and roll up our sleeves to save South Dakota from @SenateGOP.

1. This is international terrorism and can be confronted by the full anti-terror infrastructure of the US govt.
18 USC 2331 defines international terrorism, in part, as activity that
-Involves violent or dangerous acts that violate criminal laws
2. -appear intended to intimidate or coerce civilian population
- that transcends national boundaries in terms of means by which the acts are accomplished, the persons they appear to intimidate or coerce or the locale in which the perpetrator operate or seek asylum.
3. IMO the extreme right is now an international terrorist force operating world-wide and link together by an online recruitment and radicalization infrastructure and are clearly within the 2331 definition. The full power of US law enforcement in the US and US law

Never seen timeline of Robert Swan #Mueller III's time in Vietnam

Mueller was identified as CIA material in 68/69, was in UVirginia 1970-73, CIA debriefed in 1969

1971: CIA Summer intern program, a young #BillBarr is enrolled (also in 1972)

Mueller+Barr friends since 1971?
[2] Need to revisit work of @btaylor_71 and others

RSM3 married into the Cabel (a Standish)- I mean the Caball- in 1966

Did he really need 2 years of officer training to let his leg heal before going to Vietnam in Nov 1968?

The worst of the bloodshed just ended that Sep 1968
@btaylor_71 [3] Surely his father at du Pont had nothing to do with it

Surely his grandad who was the exclusive distributor of uranium fuel rods to the US Navy had no impact

Mueller got a letter of praise from the Pacific fleet commander every time he made his bed properly

The end of another semester of engaging students with @WikiEducation at @MissouriSandT @sandtcasb in #HistSCI means another tweet thread about this super fun project.
49 students, 32 articles, 40K words added, +285K views so far. I love their work! Take a look!
I'm going to group them. First group-- #WomenInSTEM #WomeninHistory
Students found that, uh oh, it's HARD to find reliable sources on women in science! This didn't stop them, though. They pushed through and learned some new research skills.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annie_S._… is 1 product.
Tycho's sister, en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sophia_Br… was another article that needed work. The women who worked on this one had to find all sources on Tycho then sift through for the 2-3 pages about Sophia. Thank goodness for good #librarians at S&T who were patient and helpful!

If you're angry about the recent deletion of articles by @jesswade from #Wikipedia, there is a way to help. Of course, that way is also open to you if you are not angry about those deletions: Help to edit Wikipedia. 1/n
After all, Wikipedia is "the free encyclopedia that anyone can edit"! Only that it's not that simple, of course. It's easy to become enthusiastic about contributing to Wikipedia, start editing, have some really frustrating encounters with other members of the community, and 2/n
then leave because who needs that kind of aggravation when they are just trying to volunteer for something? This thread is about how to do good things on Wikipedia and avoid at least some of the frustration-inducing pitfalls. 3/n

@IrisClasson Still do.
@IrisClasson There is a story behind these 1988 tractor feed print outs, which follows shortly.

I should put dinosaur or old-fart on my job description.

CC @isotopp
@IrisClasson @isotopp The story has to do with this.
A "translation" of amazon.com/Programming-Fo… but I wish I had had the original back then, as in fact it was a knock off, mostly covering FORTRAN IV and 66.

Im seeing more discussion on possibility of using (smaller) #nuclear reactors to generate heat (instead of electricity) to eventually help decarbonize district heating (& cooling via evap. chillers), industrial process heat, etc. I've wondered: what are the economics? #thread 👇
Heat is much less valuable then electricity. Then again, a nuclear plant is a great heater! Only about 33% of heat generated by a reactor is converted to electricity. So would it be worth it to produce heat instead of power?
There are 3412 Btus per kWh of electricity. So 1 MMBtu = 293 kWh. One kWh wholesale electricity sells for say 3-6 cents. So that's about $8.80-17.60 per MMBtu of electricity sold.
