That's a sloppy article with more words than information. "It sought to destroy the beating heart of the Iranian nuclear program." Useless metaphor, belied by the Natanz vs Fordow distinction later in the article. Never says if the "nuclear fuel" is uranium or that Isreal has nuclear weapons.

I can believe that someone nominated by Trump doesn't know about Gene Cernan being the last man on the moon in 1972. I can't believe Trump getting someone on the moon without bragging about it.

It's 1 poll, and Quinnipiac results are on the left-leaning side among pollsters.

I'm about your age with a daughter at Smith. I fear for her international classmates.

I'm so glad we read to my daughter from very early on - honestly it was kind of "what do we do with her? at 6 months. Touchy books like "My Furry Friends" helped link words, visuals and touch even before she could speak. She's 18 now, and has been a self-driven writer since about 10.

Installing at 75% on my Pixel 7 Pro now. It's over 1 GB so this is not a quick one.

Assuming jumper's c-of-g is 1m above ground, clearing +1m on earth goes to +6m on moon, so 7m total jump.

Yale expanded undergrad enrollment by 800 undergrad students 8-10 years ago with funding from a major donor for that purpose. They recently announced another 100 students per undergrad class.

Tens of billions of dollars per year come into the US from foreign students. Stupid Trump.

A good physical sky atlas is better than an app. Sky & Telescope's Pocket Sky Atlas in either standard or jumbo is great.

Could you make a map for services as well? Education, entertainment, financial, etc.

Joe Lieberman, my then senator, nixed the public option because he didn't like some of the people who were for it. And, of course, Conn's insurance industry.

Lonsdale was also great in The Day of the Jackal (1973).

Education runs a trade surplus in the tens of billions for the US. Trump is shooting himself in the foot, again.

Agree on everything. Best wishes to Biden. The % of men who have detectable prostate cancer is roughly the same as their age. It's a matter of whether it's slow or aggressive and moves to other parts of the body.

That's a big "if" and it doesn't apply to Biden.

Sometimes they do. About 10 years ago a donor gave Yale 10s of millions to fund expanding enrollment. From memory is was for 800 more undergrads.

The GOP proposals have increased deficits right away then cuts in FY '29. No real revenue increases.
