Video shared by the USGS on social media shows mud spraying up and out from the murky hot spring just before 9.23am local time in Biscuit Basin.
Black Diamond Pool lies about midway between the famous Old Faithful geyser and Grand Prismatic Spring, the park’s largest spring.
A hydrothermal explosion at Black Diamond in July 2024 sent rocks and mud flying hundreds of feet high and damaged a boardwalk used by visitors, prompting the closure of the area

I'm shocked, shocked, that waiving the transfer tax on downtown office to residential conversions did not result in a single such conversion happening.
Well, not that shocked. (The real point of March 2024 Prop C was the sneaky provision letting the SFBOS reduce the transfer tax altogether without an election. Not to produce housing but to cut downtown landlords' taxes.)

@… I've lived in DC since 1989 {edit: since 1984, 1989 in this house] and find it heartbreaking. But I've felt that way since late 2024, so I'm getting used to it, sadly.
The offices at John Quackenbush’s lab at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health
were once full of postdoctoral fellows, graduate students, and interns.
Young scientists here worked on some of the most cutting-edge computational biology research in the world,
driving new discoveries and the creation of widely used big data tools, including one the National Cancer Institute named among the most important advances of 2024.
Today, the offices are rows of empty comp…
It's January 4th and I've already got a few orders this year for my little hobby business.
One from the UK, one from Ireland, and one from Switzerland.
Last year we shipped close to 80% of the orders to the US and almost 20% to the UK, with a few other countries besides those two.
I do feel like I'm seeing fewer US sales since the beginning of 2024, file that as you will.
Overall sales were down a bit in 2024 but I did a few larger projects for folks that …
Just a reminder that the difference in popular vote in the 2024 election was only 1.5%, with a piss poor voter turnout of 64%. I think that if the democrats had a real primary and a candidate that more period could get behind it would have easily gone the other way.
Maga has no clear mandate. You see a lot of loud voices online that make it seem like the country is behind Trump and his agenda, but that isn't the case. The latest polling indicates that only 42% approve of his presid…
Found an old power bill while cleaning up. In the end of 2018 I was paying 9.05 c/kWh for the first 600 kWh and 10.94 above.
Now it's 15.1 and 17.0.
The rate of increase was very much nonlinear though: from October 2018 to October 2024 (six years) the tier 1 rate only climbed by 27%.
It went up 10.5% in 2024 and 20.7% in 2025 alone.

Ik vind zo'n winst van banken pervers. Waarom moet een bank zoveel winst maken? Dat betekent dat hun klanten minder waar voor hun geld krijgen. œf ze moeten teveel betalen voor een lening, óf ze krijgen te weinig rente op het spaargeld.

Tomb Raider: Peru
This is the 1996 game called Tomb Raider, as opposed to the 2013 game called Tomb Raider. I completed the 2013 game called Tomb Raider back in 2014, and then I completed the sequel to that game (a 2015 game called Rise of the Tomb Raider) in 2024. I have previously completed the 1996 game called Tomb Raider, back in 1998, after I had completed the 1997 game called Tomb Raider II.
