Why propel spacecraft when we can dream big. Shift the whole planet! Muahaha.

Key Points

• A rocket team reports the first successful detection of Earth’s ambipolar electric field: a weak, planet-wide electric field as fundamental as Earth’s gravity and magnetic fields.
• First hypothesized more than 60 years ago, the ambipolar electric field is a key driver of the “polar wind,” a steady outflow of charged particles into space that occurs above Earth’s poles.
• This electric field lifts charged particles in our upper atmosphere to greater heights than they would otherwise reach and may have shaped our planet’s evolution in ways yet to be explored.

Thanks! I was having so much fun I didn't notice.

Complete model collapse can't come soon enough.

Crashing has not been an issue on my deck. I'm 3 days shy of my 2 year anniversary with my steam deck. I can recall it crashing maybe 3 or 4 times, each of those linked to some custom game launcher and all in the default mode rather than desktop. For a while it used to hang when woken from sleep, but that hasn't happened in 6 months so I assume was fixed in an update.

I'm using desktop for emulation and games from GOG and Epic.

Fecal Mist, the new fragrance for him, by Dior.

In the same cubicle is an angry, impatient toilet. It has a goatee.

'Watch Dogs' is what I do at the park. 'Watchdogs' are guardians or protectors. The name of this game has irritated me for a long time.

Interesting. I was brought up in the '80s and '90s thinking I belonged to the middle class. Tory-voting, Daily Express-reading, shares-owning parents, father a professional with his own business, living in a safe, blue seat.

It took me many years to realise that I am in fact working-class. The social mobility my parents thought we had has been quickly disassembled for mine and following generations, and despite having a 'good job' with a reliable employer, I live hand to mouth and can never dream of even saving money, never mind investing in shares.

From your post, I can now understand why my parents thought they were middle-class Tories, despite one of them growing up in a hugely deprived town with a very basic education and the other being an immigrant.

TL;DR Photo editing features on devices back to Pixel 6.

We’ve spotted evidence suggesting that Reimagine and Auto Frame, the two new Magic Editor features, could soon be available on Pixel 6, Pixel 7, and Pixel 8 series phones.

Looks French.

It is the horseshoe crab of trees

Not being in the USA, I rarely get to watch America Football, but that was beautiful.

Given the right conditions, some plants can live indefinitely. Others die shortly after seeding.

Do plants die of old age though? Now that question has been put in my head, I need to know.

Be back in a bit, going down a rabbit hole.

The culture novels, such a good pick!

I played the game back when it originally came out. Like any media based on a book, it was slightly frustrating for a while that the graphics didn't match the visuals I had imagined whole reading the book. I still have the discs somewhere, might see if I can get it running somehow. I suspect I'll find the game mechanics to be clunky but today's standards.

I'm surprised there hasn't been a movie made yet.

I commend your efforts. Good work.
