The Odds of Finding Water on Mars
Mars has plenty of water, and almost all of it is in the wrong place. The poles are rich in ice, the equator, where you would actually want to land, has none within reach. That leaves the mid-latitudes, and until now the honest answer about what lies beneath them has been a bit of a shrug. Two new studies from the Planetary Science Institute have changed the shape of that answer. Rather than simply asking whether the data are consistent with buried ice, they have started calculating the odds an…

That PC whose fan dropped off the other week has been bodged into working. I used a couple of plastic strips and motherboard mounts to hold them to the board with screws in the right place for the heatsink; but I found it needed more pressure on the fan for it to make good contact with the CPU, especially at the top; so outcomes the wood. This is working reasonably well; although the wedge positioning is a bit touchy to get it right.

"Compliance with…law hasn’t been a defining feature of…Trump administration. Nonetheless…law matters, & federal law is ill-disposed to aggressive ICE presence at voting locations. 18 U.S.C. § 592 states…no federal officer may keep "troops or armed men" at an election site except to repel armed enemies of…United States…same title of U.S. code prohibits voter intimidation (18 U.S.C. § 594). So too does…Voting Rights Act…&…National Voter Registration Act…"
