Today is 20.00000% of the way through 2024.
It's chin-up day. It’s well before the Ides of March, let alone the end of Q1. I just surpassed the total number for all pulls in 2020.
Forget that what I was doing in 2020 barely qualified for pulls: they weren’t all the way down, and on top of that, my form was otherwise abysmal.

La crise du Covid-19 a plombé l'espérance de vie moyenne à travers le monde
L'espérance de vie moyenne, qui ne cessait de progresser depuis des décennies à travers le monde, a subitement décliné en 2020 et 2021 pendant le plus gros de la pandémie de Covid-19, selon une étude parue mardi dans le Lancet.

“Looking across the ten markets where we have collected data for five years, the percentage of women among the top editors has changed from 23% in 2020 to 25% in 2024. A linear projection suggests that, at this pace of change, there could be gender parity in top editorial positions by the year 2074.”

Grand jury indicts fake electors who falsely certified Donald Trump as 2020 winner in Arizona
The grand jury's decision could levy criminal consequences for a plot intended to subvert the will of Arizona voters.

In a dissenting opinion to the state of New York court of appeals 4-3 decision to overturn Harvey Weinstein’s 2020 conviction by a jury for sexual crimes against 3 named complainants, Judge Madeline Singas accused the ruling majority of participating in a “disturbing trend of overturning juries’ guilty verdicts in cases involving sexual violence.”
“The majority’s determination perpetuates outdated notions of sexual violence and allows predators to escape accountability.”

Precise Mass, Orbital motion and Stellar properties of the M-dwarf binary LP 349-25AB
LP~349$-$25 is a well studied close stellar binary system comprised of two late M dwarf stars, both stars close to the limit between star and brown dwarf. This system was previously identified as a source of GHz radio emission. We observed LP~349$-$25AB in 11 epochs in 2020$-$2022, detecting both components in this nearby binary system using the Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA). We fit simultaneously the VLBA absolute astrometric positions together with existing relative astrometric observations…

PFF Brutally Blasts Las Vegas Raiders For One Specific Thing
The commencement of the Tom Telesco era as general manager of the Las Vegas Raiders in the upcoming NFL Draft holds significant intrigue, starting with their pick at No. 13 this April. Telesco steps into a role with the Raiders facing numerous roster gaps, and observers are keen to witness the impact the new general manager will make on Day 1. For the Raiders, recent first-round selections have been fraught with disappointment, particularly evident in their choices from 2019 and 2020. Among the…

Thermal transport in a 2D amorphous material
Two-dimensional (2D) crystals proved revolutionary soon after graphene was discovered in 2004. However, 2D amorphous materials only became accessible in 2020 and remain largely unexplored. In particular, the thermophysical properties of amorphous materials are of great interest upon transition from 3D to 2D. Here, we probe thermal transport in 2D amorphous carbon. A cross-plane thermal conductivity ($κ$) down to 0.079 $\rm{Wm}^{-1}K^{-1}$ is measured for van der Waals stacked multilayers at ro…
