Sounds interesting, unfortunately both the "before" and "after" pictures are labelled as showing the "uncorrected" state.
I'm guessing the right one where the blue is overlapping the dotted cross is the corrected one? Is that the three sigma contour?
Seems a bit far to call it "very good agreement"...

Jo, Rysslands false flags brukar vara på nivån "Sprängde ett utedass vid övergiven anläggning och påstå att ett slag utkämpas och tusen dog".
Någon tyckte det kunde förstås som att bränna båtarna efter att armen gått i land. Men det skulle mest vara signal till eliten och dessa är inte så många: enklare för Putin att bara ställa nån med pistol bakom varje.
On a different note it's disheartening to see how many more starlink satellites are in my recent photos compared to even two years ago
People love to generalize about the sociology, especially about the prevalence of activist research, political perspectives, and overwrought claims. I wish my new paper with Micah Altman, "The State of Sociology: Evidence from Dissertation Abstracts" answered these questions. https://osf.io/preprints/socarxiv/a8uyp

The WSJ story reada more like it was the Dutch that sat on the intel, not the US. Especially as the dutch could have just biked over to Germany if they felt it was really important to tip them off ...

Nord Stream bombing was never really a threat to US support, Washington tried to block it legally and has gained a lot financially from Europe having to buy it's gas. By now supporting Ukraine has become a solidly partisan issue, the bombing is not likely to flip that.
It will be interesting to see what it does Germany on the other hand, it was quite a few billions that Ukraine spoiled, and the Germans aren't big on giving away money...

Do you have any similar rule of thumb for the mindless pro-Putin trolls?
#Trees are methane sinks
"Our paper details how we examined in situ woody surface (bark) methane exchange in upland tropical, temperate and boreal forest trees. [...] Sometimes we found a little methane emitted from the tree bases, but the higher up the tree we went, (> 1m above the forest floor) we observed something unexpected: Methane uptake from the atmosphere resulting in a net tree methane sink.
[...] Ultimately these procedures allow us to suggest that trees may contribute 24.6-49.9 Tg of atmospheric methane uptake globally. Similar in size to the only other land-based sink that we know of. And when taking these numbers for upland forest, we established that trees maybe 7% (temperate forest) to 12% (Tropics) better for climate than we’ve previously given them credit for."

Most people think the Baby Boom in the United States was “officially” from 1946 to 1964, and yet neither of our two principal candidates for president in 2024 are Baby Boomers. How is this possible?

Har väl mest att göra med vår övergivna neutralitet, som betytt att vi alltid deltagit hittills? Eller är det så att vi var med tidigt så det är några tidiga OS länder som Ryssland och USA alltid kommer sakna?
It remains way past time to stop letting corporations unilaterally make a mess of the sky.
Not with Starlink, not with OneWeb, and not with Qianfan.

Not sure what this account will be about, mostly boosting things I find interesting.
