Here at Flightradar24 we’re big fans of anything in the sky and that includes astronomical photography, but we were pleasantly surprised when we came across Andrew McCarthy’s photo of the 30 August Super Blue Sturgeon moon. Taken in Arizona southeast of Phoenix, the photo captures not only the moon, but an aircraft passing in front of the moon.
Aircraft had been part of filming the day prior to flight
High-powered lights were placed near the fuselage
The seals on the windows melted and the panes deformed due to the heatIn a newly released special bulletin, the UK’s Air Accident Investigation Branch says that damage to a Titan Airways A321neo’s windows was the result of heat generated by high powered film lamps used during a project the day prior to the incident flight. The high powered lamps led to deformation of the window pane and melting of the window seal. ///

Kate had a surprising response to a child who asked her who she was during a stop at an elementary school on Thursday.
In a video shared on X, the mom of three was all smiles as they greeted a group of children outside the school.
When asked who she is, Kate was heard responding, “Who am I? I’m married to William,” she explained while pointing toward her husband, who was not shown in the clip.
The answer may come as a surprise to some, as Kate did not introduce herself as a Princess or a member of the royal family.
“I really like your school,” she can be heard telling students in the video, before high-fiving one child in the crowd.
And the pair’s sweet outing comes just days after her father-in-law, King Charles, revealed new details about William’s sweet proposal to her.
During his and his wife Queen Camilla’s five-day trip to Kenya, the monarch conveyed just how special Kenya is to the royal family in a speech at a state banquet.
“It was here, in sight of Mount Kenya, that my son, the Prince of Wales, proposed to his wife, now my beloved daughter-in-law,” he said.
William famously popped the all-important question to Kate on Oct. 20, 2010, but news of their engagement didn’t become public knowledge until Nov. 16 of that year.

Four weeks ago today, 200+ young Israelis were butchered by Hamas terrorists at the Nova music festival.
This is what the aftermath looked like through the eyes of an IDF soldier who came to rescue survivors.
Don’t look away.

I will never understand how college students in Ivy League institutions can justify something so horrendous. American academia is truly an assembly line for hatred.

After the war, General Eisenhower forced German civilians to walk through the death camps so they would see with their own eyes what their votes and their leaders had done. Most were just as appalled as we are today with what happened in Israel. Doesn’t take a lot of courage to slaughter unarmed kids and women. To equate the just war with Hamas with these massacres is not something civilized people do. Hamas hides behind civilians thinking that the West will call off Israel if the body count rises high enough. In this case, the only body count high enough is the death of every single Hamas “fighter”. Conveniently, the have dug their own tombs under Gaza city.

sed is a stream editor. A stream editor is used to perform basic text transformations on an input stream (a file or input from a pipeline). While in some ways similar to an editor which permits scripted edits (such as ed), sed works by making only one pass over the input(s), and is consequently more efficient. But it is sed’s ability to filter text in a pipeline which particularly distinguishes it from other types of editors.
A replacement string, also known as the replacement text, is the text that each regular expression match is replaced with during a search-and-replace. In most applications, the replacement text supports special syntax that allows you to reuse the text matched by the regular expression or parts thereof in the replacement. This tutorial explains this syntax.
This quick start gets you up to speed quickly with regular expressions. Obviously, this brief introduction cannot explain everything there is to know about regular expressions. For detailed information, consult the regular expressions tutorial. Each topic in the quick start corresponds with a topic in the tutorial, so you can easily go back and forth between the two.
I have a bunch of html with lines like this:
<a href="#" rel="this is a test">
I need to replace the spaces in the rel-attribute with underscores, but I'm sort of a regex-noob!
If you don't pursue safety in a way that is cost effective, you are killing people.[David Okrent]
We know the litany. Nuclear power is too slow. Nuclear power is too expensive. I propose another more grievous fault. Nuclear power is too safe, way too safe.
It is easy to show that, if society wants to be efficient in avoiding deaths, the amount of resources devoted to avoiding the marginal death in all hazardous activities should be the same. Otherwise we can shift resources from the activity in which the cost of avoiding a death is high to activities in which the cost of avoiding a death is low, and end up with less lives lost at the same overall cost.
If I were Alexander
Since I am running out of things to say about nuclear power, it is time to play king-of-the-world. Suppose I were given the omnipotent capabilities to change the rules currently reserved for the NRC, what would I do to resurrect nuclear power in the United States and show humanity a solution to the Gordian knot of energy poverty and global warming?
The Progressive Case for Nuclear Energy
(A presentation prepared by Nucleation Capital in 2020, updated in 2021. Click the image to view the deck.)
It's 60 years since the world's first full-scale nuclear power station, Calder Hall in Cumbria, was officially opened by The Queen.
I expected to hate this film; but that's not where I ended up. With a few glaring exceptions, the problem is not what is in the film. The problem is what is not. The crucial importance of cost is barely mentioned in passing. The fact that nuclear power was and could and should be the cheapest source of electricity is not even hinted at. And the elephant in the room, the NRC regulatory apparat, is totally ignored.
I came away thinking so close, and so far.
Here's another example of a project you've probably never heard of (I hadn't), where USA taxpayers will spend something like a billion dollars to move slightly radioactive material from one place to another. Between 1956 and 1983, one of the major USA mills for converting uranium ore to yellow cake, U3O8, was located just outside Moab, Utah on the Colorado River. The mill was built by the uranium king, Charlie Steen. It made the town of Moab. //
In 2003, the dose rates on top of the Pile were 0.014 to 0.047 mSv/d for photons, and 0.041 to 0.052 mSv/d due to radon. Both are far below the tolerance dose of 1 mSv/d, and well below the background dose rates in parts of Kerala. The dose rates at the nearest residence, which is right on the edge of the mill property, were 0.0021 mSv/d photon and 0.0115 mSv/d radon. The background dose rates in the area are about 0.0022 mSv/d photon and 0.0044 mSv/d radon. In other words, at the edge of the mill the photon dose rate is background, and the radon dose rate is less than one-fourth the EPA action limit (8 mSv/y) for indoor radon.
Never let a crisis go to waste. This may be one of the least original thoughts ever. It's been attributed to Niccolo Machiavelli, Saul Alinsky, and Rahm Emanuel among others. As Emanuel explained, a crisis ``is an opportunity to do things you could not do before". Trite but true.
The Federal bureaucracy, specifically the NRC and the EPA, present an insurmountable hurdle to the promise of cheap, reliable, pollution-free, nearly CO2 free nuclear power. They are incapable of change. Congressional prodding with pieties such as the Nuclear Energy Innovation and Modernization Act is slow walked by the NRC and then turned into even more onerous regulation. The ADVANCE Act if passed will have the same fate. Congress suborned by well endowed, wind/solar lobbies is not about to do anything that would make a real difference.
But this will change. Under the present deranged policy of promoting intermittent sources and discouraging dispatchable sources, it is only a matter of time before the nation suffers a string of debilitating brown outs and black outs. Congress will suddenly wake up to the fact that those lobbyists may have oodles of money, but they represent maybe 5% of Americans. The other 95% will be pissed.
The political beasts will be desperate to do something to keep feeding at the public trough. We must be in position to tell them what.
“Canceling” people who disagree with you over ordinary political issues is bad for civil society. Ruining someone’s life because he wore a MAGA cap or tweeted something stupid or supported the wrong initiative creates an oppressive environment for open discourse.
“Canceling” people who sign petitions and hold up signs that openly celebrate or justify the targeted, brutal murders of women and babies, on the other hand, is good for civil society. Stopping malevolent ideas from being normalized is good. Exercising your First Amendment right to free speech and free association to shun and call out people who spread odious ideas in public life is a moral imperative. //
When I say I’m a free-speech absolutist, I mean it. The state should do absolutely nothing to inhibit or censor pro-Hamas Americans from expressing their opinions. Free speech isn’t contingent on your position. Hate speech is free speech. The government has no business prodding or even suggesting limitations on our rhetorical interactions. Even outside state intervention, we should be upholding the values that promote free expression. We can peacefully coexist with colleagues, neighbors and friends who hold contradictory opinions within the normal parameters of political debate.
Likewise, Americans have a right to use their freedom to call out and disassociate themselves from people who take the side with nihilistic murder cults.
