I was recently revisiting some Billy Joel. He really was a great folk storyteller.

Like, Allentown tells a history so succinctly but authentically. It really is a skill he honed.

I used to lurk on reddit but have been much more active here.

Basically if I'm on kbin, I try to comment or post if I have a reason

This is always such an interesting topic. I remember doing a project on this in school. This would be such a nice upgrade for the public.

The tough thing is how much US rail & land is privately owned by commercial operators. Plus virtually all of that rail would need to be redone to accommodate HSR. Additionally, I think tickets would often need to be subsidized to be competitive to alternatives in many cases (some regional flights will already likely be the same price as what commercial HSR tickets would be).

The cost always makes it tough to justify versus other potential places for the government to spend its money.

Not that I wouldn't like to see it done. I think having HSR would be transformative for America in a great way.

The vibes do be powerful

I think you may have just created one of the first memes of this community.

I'm going to make this tomorrow and toast it to you

Given how long ago I took this, I unfortunately don't have lens or ISO details.

Loved r/analog and never posted there enough. Now I really want to make an effort towards the online film community and not just lurk.

TL;DR the particular issue called out in the article is that Threads imports data from IG.

Meta is in dialogue with EU regulators as whether this would be seen as one social media platform sharing with another. Until Meta gets more guidance on this and any other possible issues, they are holding off launchin in the EU.

Love this! You should post in one of the Analog magazines too! We're building up content there

I may be off, but I'd auggest looking up an "atomic clock" and either reading about it or watching a short video explanation.

In short, let's say you built a "clock" that measured time based on how long it took a photon (light particle) to bounce between two sensors (1 bounce = 1 "tick" of the clock). If you began to move the clock through space, the faster you'd move the clock, the longer it'd take the photon to complete one tick because the photon is now moving angularly with the clock. You can take this to the most extreme by theoretically moving the clock at a speed arbitrarily close to the speed of light, where it'd almost never complete the "tick."

I believe that is the principle at play here when they're measuring light from ancient phenomenon like quasars. What they're finding interesting is that, based on their math, effectively the shape of the light wave from those quasars is different than if those quasars were currently happening, which they can use as evidence that these events unfolded at a different "speed" than our current universal conditions.

That's just my best attempt to connect concepts I've studied to what is clearly a far more complex analysis. Still, I hope some of that helps introduce the relevant concepts to interested minds.

Pretty good! Been hanging out with an old friend all day today. I missed him and really appreciated remembering how much fun a good friend is.

Also made an account on Her (social app) for the first time. I already got people messaging me and it's been an incredible boost. Very excited!

Heck yeah! What's got you feeling driven?

It's funny - I loooove Majora's, but I have to acknowledge the impact wouldn't be the same without OoT.

My answer is both of them bc they're such a package.
