U.S. Navy Heard What It Believed Was Titan Implosion Days Ago — The Wall Street Journal
  • The fact that we have these low frequency listening arrays has been known publicly for a long time. More closely guarded are the analytical techniques.

    It's likely that the watch team flagged the implosion as artificial in real time, but could not identify the cause until other pieces of info were aggregated. The found wreckage today likely confirmed their suspicion.

    source: worked at the navy's listening post watch floor years ago.

  • everybody migrating from reddit now
  • But also, with the fediverse structure, there is no way to lock out alternative apps. Functionally, all apps are third party.

  • Cormac McCarthy has died at 89
  • Writer of my favorite books. I am broke.

    "How surely are the dead beyond dead. Death is what the living carry with them. A state of dread, like some uncanny foretaste of a bitter memory. But the dead do not remember and nothingness is not a curse. Far from it."

    Cormac McCarthy, Suttree

    To me, he and Camus illuminate the struggle of life. You make your own reason. The struggle is the reason.

  • I'm really enjoying no down votes on Beehaw
  • Yeah, but what do I do to get that little rush of self-satisfaction from down voting a comment I disagree with? /s

    In all seriousness, it may require a little more diligence from community mods to police comments which violate beehaw community standards since they won't fall to the bottom or be hidden as fast.

  • What to do when it's too hot to sleep?
  • On hot summer nights on Brazil it was routinely 27°C plus. No AC, nary a breeze. I learned to sleep with no covers and a fan pointed directly at me.

  • Advice needed: DIY chair mat

    I want to make an inexpensive chair mat similar to the one in the picture to place on high pile carpet. I already have left over materials from other projects:

    1/2" OSB sheet

    1/2" Plywood sheet

    20 ft2 vinyl plank (has a thin foam backing)

    I plan on gluing the plank to one of the above sheets and then cut the mat to the desired area (56"x48") with a circular skill saw.

    Questions: What glue should I use to glue the vinyl plank? Should I use the OSB or the plywood?

    Tell us about unpopular games you love, or even just appreciate some aspects of, contrary to the inteenet hivemind?
  • Planetside 2. Loved huge coordinated battles with hundreds of players even though it often was a buggy, laggy mess.

  • Zelensky Responds to Donald Trump’s Plan to Stop War ‘in 24 Hours’
  • Is crazy. Putin's behavior is not marxist or communist. He's a mob boss. A fascist dictator. He is heavy into nationalism and racism to maintain his power.

    I guess Trump really doesn't want Putin to release that tape of him getting pissed on by a stripper.

  • Favorite Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episodes?
  • Early season favorite: Season 1, Episode 19, "Duet"

    Kira is a great character in DS9.

  • the hopefully final June 2023 financial update for Beehaw (lol)
  • I have definitely noticed a difference in performance between yesterday and today, so I'm happy the mods are scaling and that they have the funds to do so.

  • KLANGPHONICS - Dendrometry (Live Melodic House)

    New favorite band.
