My wife's brief appearance on Fox News, in a clip in which she testified in support of the NYC Pied-à-Terre tax, has garnered her first Fox Fan Voicemail!
Dude had to dig a little, as Fox doesn't yet provide the full-service on-air doxing information its viewers would like.
He (obviously) got her phone number correct (but declined to provide his own...or his name, for that matter). However, his age estimate fell short by three years.

I am of the opinion that my wife looks younger than her years...

#Quakers reaffirm commitment to trans inclusion and refuse to make any changes to toilet provision in the wake of EHRC Code of Practice
https://www.quaker.org.uk/news-and-events/news/quakers-reaffirm-commitment-to-trans-inclusion-in-the-wake-of-ehrc-code-of-practice?

"The policy also states that Quakers will not require trans, non-binary or intersex people to disclose or prove their status in circumstances where such evidence is not demanded of others.

Under the arrangements confirmed by trustees, toilet facilities labelled with a 'female' sign remain available to cisgender women, trans women, and others for whom those facilities best align with their lived experience.

Similarly, facilities labelled with a 'male' sign remain available to cisgender men, trans men, and others for whom those facilities best align with their lived experience."

Radiation damage to Hubble has been 4.3 years out of phase with the Solar cycle

Radiation damage to the Hubble Space Telescope has been several years out of phase with the Solar cycle

As well as obtaining beautiful images of the Universe, the Hubble Space Telescope's CCD detectors are sensitive radiation dosimeters that have been monitored in Low Earth Orbit for more than 24 years. The rate of radiation damage they received has varied over each Solar cycle, but several years out of phase with the appearance of sunspots or coronal mass ejections. We investigate functional forms that successfully fit the time series of damage to telescopes elsewhere in the Solar system. We obtain remarkably accurate fits to Hubble data but with physically absurd parameter values. During image post-processing, such fits can be used empirically, to correct more than 99.5% of the radiation damage's effect on image quality. However, fits to the time series with physically reasonable parameters produce worse performance. Our results highlight the diversity of radiation environments in different parts of our Solar system, and the complexity of Low Earth Orbit in particular. Our results also motivate continued monitoring of radiation damage to currently operational spacecraft, to more reliably predict the rate of degradation in (and useful lifespan of) future missions.

I think I’ve posted this before but I like it so much I figured it’s worth sharing again.😁

Black and white photo of a cat peering over the far edge of a computer desk to stare intently at a wireless white Apple Mouse sitting on its pad. You can sense that a swiping forepaw will soon follow.

@egonw The sad thing is, the old versions of the software are actually good. I'm still using 3.6, it's much snappier than the 4.x versions and does not nudge you to use their online service all the time.
