@carlysagan Okay that makes a lot more sense. I'm hoping that your workstation also has a cat 😀
@carlysagan The heart's a pump, but the imagery is played out. So I figured a 5500 psi turbopump would keep it fresh 😂
@carlysagan 1. That pizza looks amazing.
2. The ergonomics of that workstation could use some improvement.
@Angel__Puss With the way everything's going, both are acceptable 😂
Super Bowl day means you're stuck with a Large Dish post from me. This time it's the NRAO's Very Long Baseline Array. Ten 25m dishes across CONUS, Hawaii, and St. Croix which combine through the magic of interferometry to work as a dish that's approximately 8000km in diameter.

Approaching a gallon of sap per tap on this first run of a very early start. I have not seen my trees take off like this so early. My north slope sugar maples aren't quite awake yet, but it looked like they're getting going when I pumped out the barrel this afternoon. Forecast is also looking good to keep going nicely for a while. Almost too warm in the middle of the month. #maplesyrup
