The #balloon: let me drop some knowledge. (A thread) I co-founded the largest high-altitude ballooning project in history and was for years its chief technical architect and lead designer. I’m referring to Google [x]’s Project Loon (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loon_LLC). I have deep practical and operational knowledge about high-altitude ballooning; I’ve designed many iterations of these vehicles and personally overseen dozens of launch operations.

Another little #linux question I've pondering for some time.

Let's say I build myself a nice little #nixos on a VM. How can I make that into a "live cd" ISO that I can flash onto a USB drive and use as a live environment.

I dont need it to have an installer, just make the image bootable and useable on the USB?

Possible?

Made it to the botanical gardens, accidentally walked into an orchid exhibit! Lots of people. Wow.

Spying on superpowers is fine. Its the spying on the citizens that is the bigger issue IMO

@zleap the lack of privacy in other countriea is a huge issue. But china has a history of some really horrific atrocities that even the usa cant match (though comes close at times)

I am so proud of this project website that we will be using to recruit participants in the Northeast region of the UK https://www.solitude-lab.com/solitude-as-opporunity-for-rest

My team is working with charity partners, teams that work with retirees and mothers, and we really value making it professional, fun and #accessible #science. We make our brochures available online and also as printouts.

This process of thinking about the logistics and putting this together is so much fun!

Water has unique properties, and each discovery about it underlines this fact. A new type of amorphous (non-crystalline) ice has been discovered. Amorphous ice is rare on earth but plentiful in space -- and may also be the major form of ice in Jupiter's large moons, causing tectonic shifts & quakes.
