I wonder if someone’s gonna make light of the USAF officer corps’s predilection for swinging at some point by developing a program whose acronyms are “UCUCK.” Unrelated to but inspired by this post, just fyi.

Second, instead of a balloon, what was it, a drone? I'm trying to imagine something the size of a car that would enter our airspace unwelcomed. I can only think of glider/drone/balloon type items, unless it is.... aliens.

Some crank on Trappist-1D right now:


I'm still surprised they didn't shoot the balloon down once it entered Alaskan airspace. There's no way they didn't see it given that has been the expected air route for Russia and China for all of 80 years, and it's not like shooting the thing down over the empty mountains would be a hazard. Whatever prevented them from doing that last week, the gloves are off now.

ET stay away, it's a bad time to randomly drop by... again.

No casualities - looks like the site had been prepared with berms and was being remotely defused with a robot. I guess after 80 years some of this stuff is a bit touchy !

I'm glad to see the safety procedures worked. Hope for the best, plan for the worst.

Mia is the one in the background, she is a Pyr/ lab mix that we board occasionally.

He's not a mascot, but I just want to share my favorite picture of Detective Tubbs Lumpkins, MD. This is the night my wife brought home an abandoned 2 week old kitten, who I refused to name until her first vet appointment- where we found out she was younger than we thought.
"What rescue cared for her?"
"My husband."
"Wow. He did an amazing job. Any experience?"
"He'd say the Infantry. He just loves little furry things "



If the big hoss in the background is anything like the 100 pound black lab we had when we brought in a stray kitten, its reaction will be something along the line of "HI NEW FRAND I DOG".

It was. They are still buddies- he just doesn't try to carry her out by her head anymore.

The good Detective assumes everyone is his friend and that they enjoy truffles, where he licks and sniffles his friend. He accidentally murdered a guinea pig by trying to cuddle it.

Regarding the recent hoopla over the gas ranges, haven't they been banned from new construction in like, a bunch of all states already?

I think natural gas was banned in CA at least, dryers, furnace/boiler, stove. I just got my stuff in before the change but electric is so efficient now anyways I kinda want to go that route. Just finished my in floor radiant and will just use a flash water heater for heat but I wish I had known you could do cooling with it as well and then my house would be perfect.

Eventually I suspect my gas range will become expensive or it will simply get old. Either way, I intend to replace it with an induction range. Hopefully I also have solar and batteries in place by then.

Farewell, good Hunter. May you find your worth in the waking world.

I do like the benefit of gas stove, fireplace, water heater when winter comes and we lose power for a week on end. It means we have hot water, a cook surface, and a warm room in our house no matter what. But we are probably being exposed to at least one of those appliance micro leaking all year long so that’s not good.

My gas stove in my last house had a safety feature where it would lock out the gas if it lost power so it wasn't even useful during a power outage.

I've got an induction cooktop now and it's fantastic. The cookware compatibility thing is a way smaller issue than people make it out to be. Unless you're using a ceramic tagine or a lovely aluminum nonstick pan, pretty much any modern cookware made in the last 10 years will work.

Yeah that's a weak spot. I've got a large sautee pan that's OK for stir fry and some of the higher end induction stoves apparently work with flat bottomed woks, but they're pretty pricey at the moment. As someone who cooks a lot of east/SE asian foods it hasn't been a huge issue, though.
