Life Is Good, Even When the Fog Machine Leaks
Short post this week, because Nutcracker. Got some cool news this week from Second Son, AKA McNugget. Their family is growing. We’ll know more in a couple of weeks, but they think they’re due in July. Makes me think about my parents. My Dad only ever met his first grandchild. My Mom (who would have turned 99 earlier this month) only met three.

Helion has just announced they got D-T fusion working in their reactor; this is pretty big; they're not claiming break even yet - but Helion is one of the odder (non-tokamak) designs which is much further along than most others, but weird enough that no one is too sure if they'll get it to work - the next important thing is to see if they get their direct energy recovery to work;

How we conducted and measured D-T fusion
Helion’s first D‑T fusion campaign marks a major step forward in our mission to build practical fusion power plants.

Good morning! For this #silentSunday I want to share this #foggy path with you.
I was on my way down and when I entered the fog, temperature really dropped. Actually I didn't want to stop or slow down in order to avoid cooling out.
But at this spot I had to take a quick break for…

This is why I don't fully trust 48hills, even though they're on "my side" in being pro-labor and anti-billionaire. Tim Redmond thinks it's a good thing that a 100% affordable housing development was forced to lop a floor off to preserve views 😫
"The staff reached out to the neighbors,[...]took feedback, and as a result made some changes that lowered the height of the new buildings. That, in a reasonable world, is how this should work" No it's not!!…

Supes approve affordable senior housing project—but discussion raises larger issue - 48 hills
Nonprofit housers are good neighbors. Speculators are not. But Wiener's law treats both the same way

'animal(ic) encounter'
I wasn't sure if I have a good or funny one to share with this topic. But I remembered visiting a wildlife park nearby at an autumn day.
It was a beautiful stroll through the park, watching the wildlife there when this situation came to be. Unplanned, just by pure luck.
And well.. I thin…
