They recorded the first test images from all the mirror segments today on the camera sensor. The same star projected 36 times. Now they will focus each mirror on a single point.

Yeah, Oregon has one also. Kids love them, and some adults too. I was pretty young when i decided I didn't want to die in a cave or trapped underwater.

Well, it's been 2 weeks since I started experimenting with vaping and it has been nice. I'm still using the first cartridge, so it's lasting quite a while. I got 2 cartridges one at 94% THC 1000mg and no added flavor. I only tried it for one day before I switched to the other one, pineapple flavor 78% THC. That's the one I've been using after the first day. Holy Crap! It comes on way faster and stronger.
It is cleaner less hassle and works at what it's supposed to, so yippee! I had for gotten that I had a vaping device for bud. I'm charging it now and looking forward to testing it with my homegrown. Less harmful molecules than combustion.What if Eleanor Roosevelt had wings? -- Monty Python One important characteristic of a theory is that is has survived repeated attempts to falsify it.

What happened? Did I just get old? Yep! I got high a lot in the 70s too. Music, sex and food were all nice sensations that cannabis enhanced. Hell, we were still excited by the effects of stereo music. In the 80s we lost interest in getting high and got focused on kids, jobs, education, life, etc. Drug tests on jobs were also a worry, with cannabinoids persisting detectibly in the body for days or weeks. Once it was legalized here I tried it again, primarily tinctures which also included CBD for ingestion, to help manage pain and sleep. It also noticeably improved my symptoms of COPD. Now inhaling smoke or vapor is the most efficient delivery method. I have been watching the organization of the business side of legal cannabis and it seems quite well done here. We invested in several cannabis startups when it first was legalized for medical use here and the returns on that have been steadily growing. And my grandkids think I'm badass for growing my own pot! Neither of them seem interested in trying it and I am quite vocal in my discouragement of cannabis use by teens and young adults.What if Eleanor Roosevelt had wings? -- Monty Python One important characteristic of a theory is that is has survived repeated attempts to falsify it.

The silence from the right-wing nutjobs the past couple of weeks has been refreshing!

I have seen several articles about gravitational wave astronomy recently but this one had some nice diagrams of the gravitational spectrum defined by wavelength and what events cause various length waves. There are also some video simulations that illustrate what a complex region of spacetime surrounds orbiting blackholes, especially super-massive blackholes.

We got up to 80 last Wednesday, but snow flurries here yesterday. Further north in Portland/Vancouver area they have gotten lots of wet snow and hundreds of trees and powerlines are down.

We are at about 18 hours with temps above freezing. We probably will.be back.under tonight. It's just about time to pull the dragonfly eggs I collected in Wisconsin last September out of the refrigerator so they can continue development.What if Eleanor Roosevelt had wings? -- Monty Python One important characteristic of a theory is that is has survived repeated attempts to falsify it.

Holy crap time flies. Hard to believe it's been 32 years.
I remember those first days of utter despair when we learned that the mirror was ground incorrectly, but look at us now with one of the most successful orbital observatory missions. It turned out to be pretty well designed to allow servicing and repairs. And JWST infrared sensors are at operating temperature, I hope they show us something really spectacular first! We deserve it!Stop Tzar Vladimir the Condemned! What if Eleanor Roosevelt had wings? -- Monty Python One important characteristic of a theory is that is has survived repeated attempts to falsify it.

I have been pleased with my experiments in vaping cannabis oil. The cartridges last 2-3 weeks and a charge on the battery lasts more than a week. The battery pens for $10 or a bit less have some quality control issues. Several just never worked after being charged and a couple more quit after a couple charges. and the power setting function crapped out too. I finally bought a 1300 mah with a power setting dial on the base and a single power on button that works perfect and also gives me a better high per toke. More economical than smoking bud and less combustion by-products.
Enjoy the day yourself!Stop Tzar Vladimir the Condemned!

I have almost 4 pounds of high quality buds from last year's crop that I would like to process that way. I need to research the process.
