I've said it before but I'll say it again.
It's not that everyone I know who had #Covid has developed terrible new medical issues.
It's that everyone I know who has developed terrible new medical issues recently had Covid.
And in every case I'm thinking of, it's become a health crisis within about three months of their most Covid bout. (Usually not a bad bout, either.)

  1. Two months after moderate Covid bout. Previously healthy and active person. Life-threatening sudden heart attack that required an ambulance and was said to be near fatal. Required emergency surgery and months of inpatient and outpatient recovery just to get basic mobility back. Still not recovered, now newly diagnosed with cancer.

@firefly @ai6yr @sundogplanets @sarahtaber We have identification from Jonathan McDowell ( @planet4589 ):

"This definitely looks consistent with being a bit of the Crew-7 Dragon's trunk which reentered on a path right over this location on Tuesday" - https://twitter.com/planet4589/status/1794047212332208453

Someone should check the fields along a line from west to north of Asheville.

And SpaceX really is littering a lot.

@amyedge The US government is responsible! The treaties that govern this only apply to nations. It's really freaking weird, and needs to be updated like 20 years ago.

@michael_w_busch @firefly @ai6yr @sarahtaber @planet4589 I just emailed Jonathan to see if he had been contacted, but clearly I'm a little late to the party (...the space debris party. The worst kind of party).

@sarahtaber in case you are interested in talking about strategies for protecting rural farmland from space debris dumps, let me know! I'm working on this from the Saskatchewan/Canadian gov't side now (with very little headway so far)

@amyedge @sundogplanets @firefly @ai6yr @sarahtaber This was not a targeted re-entry: SpaceX just let the Crew Dragon trunk section fall out of the sky somewhere between Mississippi and Pennsylvania.

I note that the predicted ground track happened to pass very close to the Green Bank Telescope in West Virginia - although the spacecraft did not get that far.

(The prediction was over the line in Tennessee, but Asheville is close enough to be within the cross-track uncertainty).

Note to self: do not light up a smoke when you have a leaky propane tank in your car. 😬 https://www.cbsnews.com/losangeles/news/car-explodes-in-van-nuys-parking-lot/

Welcome to the May 24th BikeNite! Thanks for joining, and I hope we all enjoy chatting about cycle stuff! Feel free to answer whenever at your convenience. Anyone can join, now or later. Reply to what you like, and boost for visibility.

We'll start out with our introduction (with help from @jfparis)

Q1. Where are you posting from today? Where we are, Spring semester is over or almost over for many students. How does this affect your riding?

ai6yr,

@ascentale @jfparis A1. Ventura County, CA. I just realized that today! That means no more avoiding near the high school around new-driver-melee-time (err... lunch)!

Video of climbers stranded on Everest after collapse of a ridge -- ABOVE the Hillary Step--ps. above the "death zone" (Update: seems like this is a bit of media hype, looks like 2 dead, 3 missing, but the rest made it off on an alternate route -- I should have seen that with the original Sky News link) https://www.cbsnews.com/news/mount-everest-2-climbers-die-kenyan-nepali-3-missing/

Climbing Mount Everest seems like a Vanity project.
I know Nepal likes the money, but how many dead bodies and garbage left on top of the world is enough for them to say enough?

18+ ai6yr,

Hmm, it looks like it's going to be a very bad week for Everest. Looking for the latest on this, see there are already a bunch of deaths. Here's a Kenyan Climber reported dead yesterday (before the collapse)

Apparently a massive fish kill of some sort in Leadbetter Beach (Santa Barbara) via multiple sources -- John Palmientieri says grunion, but it could also be mackeral or anchovy IMHO.

The warmest 12-months in millennia for the Earth as a whole is right now. For the Arctic though, the warmest 12-months was in 2016, with the post-2019 years notably less hot.

I explore the "where" and "why" in the latest Alaska and Arctic Climate newsletter.

Just unbelievable: “Between mentally torturing a false confession out of Tom Perez, concealing from him that his father was alive and well, and confining him in the psych ward because they made him suicidal, in my 40 years of suing the police I have never seen that level of deliberate cruelty by the police,”

Why You Should Care About the 2024 Hurricane Season

@ai6yr This is the way. Everything on the network is blocked by default. My stuff is grouped to also block all Meta stuff, another group allows ads for a few devices that need them. Also get a nice app (iOS here, but others or web app I’m sure) to easily poke the api to temporarily disable blocking for troubleshooting- mine offers 1min and 5min.

@kimu asks about helmet preferences:

Q4. If you wear a bike helmet, what’s your current helmet? What do you like and dislike about it?

ai6yr,

@ascentale @kimu A4. Trek Rally Wavecel (which was what the LBS carries). Very comfortable and the air flow is great, great ratings! The only problem is the chin strap won't stay adjusted correctly, I have to tighten it before every ride.

Thousand Oaks Acorn: Prizes, maps, workshops and training highlight Bicycle Month

"The Ventura County Transportation Commission and the nonprofit Bike Ventura County organization use prizes, maps and training to accomplish these goals.

The commission’s new guide, “Biking Ventura County: Routes & Tips for Beginners & Families,” makes it easy to find a place to ride. It highlights shared-use paths and separated bike lanes across the county and provides guidance on safety, e-bikes and tips for taking bicycles aboard public transit. "

ai6yr,

"A Brew Ride takes place on the second Sunday of each month from 1 to 4:30 p.m., starting at 490 N. Ventura Ave. This social ride celebrates Ventura’s award-winning breweries, but safety is paramount.

“There’s no excessive drinking and riding,” Abele said. “Riders enjoy tastings and . . . chat with local brewers.”

The casual ride starts after lunch, and participants will have just enough time for one drink at each of two brewery visits. “Remember, on the road, cyclists are vehicles subject to all traffic laws, including those against drunk driving,” Abele said. "
