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. yaledailynews.com/blog/2025/02...

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.

The 1906 earthquake and fire weren't great for trees.

Plurality, 49.8% (just to be pedantic).

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).

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.

A Trojan Horse, just like the Qatari 747 🙃

The passive verb "seen" is doing a lot of work here. Who are seeing this?

Posession by Qatar would leave security worries, of course.

Source please, if even if just for the termination.

Having worked most my career in a field with a majority of managers being women, it's not just men who are the jerks you describe. One frequent yeller was known as the dragon.

At least it's the joke of a House doing this instead of the joke of a Senate pushing through Trump judges.

Could you use the name of the company, Freight Logistics, instead of 'clck to find out' phrasing?
