Thanks to Violet Affleck’s public comment, pretty much every media outlet of note in the world is now writing about masks and Long COVID… even the New York Times!

Talking to another about what to do in the city. Revealed that I'm just a simple desert rat who really doesn't like the city or the ocean. Think I boggled the city-mouse's little brain.

On the phone with the Southwest customer service rep. Make a joke about waking up way too early to check in. "Oh, no, your reservation comes with Early Bird Check-in." "What?" "Yeah, the reservation you made has early Bird Check-in, you don't have to do anything." "What what?" Thank you, Travel!

Ordered some cheap little Bluetooth ThermoPro sensors to monitor the temp in various places in my house so I can keep rooms cool or shift where the fans are pointed. Now I'm just geeking out over data!

Violet Affleck: "To confront the Long COVID crisis I demand mask availability, air filtration and far-UVC light in government facilities, including jails and detention centers and mask mandates in county medical facilities. And most importantly, the county must oppose mask bans for any reason." 🔥🔥🔥

Amen!!! My small contribution is that microwave frozen stuff is really good these days if it’s way too hot to use the stove. Cobbling recipes together this way makes me feel more like I’m cooking (shoutout to microwave rice, ❤️ u).

ICYMI - new by me, including the White House Cyber Safety Review Board ignored its directive to investigate SolarWinds, Apple's compliance with Russia's VPN/VoIP ban, Biden's brag about ending the pandemic, and more.

I like it cause of all the training sessions, though if I was a networker type person, it'd be huge for connecting with others. Plus it's really REALLY neat to see what smart people are doing with the software and new technologies. It was fun a few years ago seeing all the drone enabled projects.

Filling in the ESRI schedule with a colleague who is also going and trying to decide what we are both attending, what we are attending separately, what sounds cool vs what sounds useful, what makes a good backup if we need to bail on the chosen session.

Maybe to comply with GDPR requirements? I'll have to look the next time my VPN grabs a Europe server to see what changes.

It also makes me think about this map, from the data that Where's George was able to generate. It shows the borders across which money mostly doesn't travel, and is a pretty good map of our broad economic and cultural divide. The darker the line, the stronger the border.

@bobmoorenv.bsky.social Breaking this out to have the chat without cluttering up the replies.

Funny thing was my coworker has no idea why FB tagged him for that post. But I was on a call w/ NDOT the other day and they were discussing the software they use to plan out new roads. Sounded interesting.

I need a smart piston or something. If outside temp < inside temp, open window. Same with the reverse, close it when it's hotter outside. That way I can keep it closed when I go to bed and it's still 90°+ outside, but wake up enjoying the ~60° breeze coming in.

All-time record shattered today in Las Vegas, beating the former record by 3 degrees F. Records that once seemed impossible, made possible - if not likely - by climate heating. As I say, with climate change expect the unexpected.

Reminder that AC can cause dehydration. I know that there is a heat wave hitting and it’s super easy to think “I’ve got AC so I’m good” and not realize that you’re getting dehydrated. Keep water close to hand and take a drink regularly, even if you don’t feel thirsty.

I just realized I haven't seen the usual hot weather advice / prep posts that normally pop up before a heat wave. Wonder if those sharing got overwhelmed with the useless "Dur, it gets hot in the summer" nonsense and gave up posting? Or if like a lot of posts lately, I just miss them in the noise.

I had mine at 78, bumped it up to 80 to see if that's too much for me (thinking the eventual power bill). Haven't tried lower, just trying to keep things closed up and the various fans on for circulation.

Huh Reported today I saw two Western Kingbirds. Grey head, yellow belly, dark wings and back, done. iNat: Yeah, that one has bars on its wings among other differences. That's an Ash-throated Flycatcher. Me: A who what now? Cool, that brings my year total up to 127.

The neat thing was the adult was peeping along fairly consistently, to the point it just became part of the soundscape. Then, it suddenly changed! I glanced up (cause I was mucking with my camera) and just managed to spot the American Kestrel fly in low over the river and land in the nearby tree. 🪶

I had so much fun watching these two Spotted Sandpipers along the river bank today. It was a joy to see the little puff ball bobbling away as it moved between the reeds and grasses.

I uploaded a combined video of the two to my YouTube channel if anyone is interested. youtu.be/ZtNxVjWJS_8
