There are some… encryption efforts that are dependent upon *precise* corrections to time stamps.
NIST is one of those government agencies that a huge portion of the world is unaware of their dependence upon.

Even within the US, who exactly will have access to this technology (if it works)? And who can afford treatment under the punishing US health system?
Meanwhile, the US has ceased its foreign aid, condemning millions to preventable deaths. How will cancer research in the US help folks overseas?

Looks like Tomy found the problem with their lighting, and shipment of the Refit Enterprise is now in March 2026.
It looks like they've added a new purple light mode to the warp engines. It's shades of Malibu Stacy's new hat, but it's awfully good of them to do something to make up for the delay

For example: “In 1987, NCAR began testing a new Doppler radar that predicted dangerous wind shear events and alerted pilots…There has not been a microburst-induced crash of a commercial airplane in the United States since 1994.”

My aunt did some ancestry and my family goes back to like 10 years after Plymouth Rock. My grandfather still saw us as having come from Wales. We are a nation of immigrants. Also my grandpa captured 8 Nazis and would be pissed at the fascists in charge now.

For those (reasonable) Baratza Encore users who complain about fine coffee dust clogging the works, the solution is this rubber bellows that sits on top of the hopper. At the end of the grind sesh, push this down a few times to clear out the fines. Highly recommended.

...but do they have any idea where those pitches will end up???
The Nats have compiled a young core of pitching prospects that all throw absolute heat www.federalbaseball.com/general/8799...
The Washington Nationals have an impressive array of flame throwing pitching prospects
Most of the Nationals top pitching prospects have one thing in common, they throw absolute gas

Had a very short work trip to Rockville, MD yesterday, so took the 1:30 pm early outbound MARC Brunswick Line up from Union Station. I hadn’t ridden any part of this route in probably a decade. I’m now aboard the Metro Red Line back towards DCA this morning.
