Weird feeling as while looking to answer to the question "how do I get the coordinates of the minimal value of a numpy.ndarray ?", found that I already asked that question ten years ago: https://laurentperrinet.github.io/sciblog/p…

A rare daylight #fireball coming with a loud bang was seen and heard Tuesday morning over the U.S. and Ohio in particular: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dHBjApk3d6w - see https://skyweek.wordpress.com/2026/03/12/allgemeines-live-blog-ab-dem-12-marz-2026/ for links to many more reports.

And multiplied by many, a society that values this will outlast every society that doesn’t anyway.

#MastodonPoll: Which of the following regulations regarding leaf blowers would you support? Choose as many as you like.
1. Decibel limits
2. Fuel efficiency standards (the relevant metric for cars is miles per gallon, so the corresponding one here would be what, leaves blown per gallon?)
3. Fuel type restrictions (i.e. ban gas-powered ones completely)
4. Full ban, both gas-powered ones and electric
