I'll add more as I think of more

This is a great answer, thank you very much! I can see how it might be a fun project to have my own instance and interact with other such as this awesome one. This gives a lot of info to use in "managing expectations". If anything, I am always happy to connect with others sharing a passion for science.

Great article. It ends with: "If this is real, we’ll know within a week.”

These are some key graphs for me. It would be interesting to see how we are tracking ar1 model predictions.

Absolutely. Press releases will always overhype research to make it interesting to read. It is unfortunate those in the scientific community feel they need to do this. Many institutions pressure their researchers to submit these press releases so they can show off what they do to the public. As I type this, I realize how the institutions themselves feel they need these public summaries for their survival. Would taxpayers ever support research if they don't understand it??

Perhaps what is most needed is to drop the spin and hype while still informing the public about the scientific process and results!

This guy is a rock star! I wanna go back to school for astrophysics! If only it paid the bills...

I don't know why, but the big bang does not sit well with me. Not from any scientifically informed perspective, it doesn't seem right to have something that finite.

Hunng...this is so unsatisfying. I get that we can infer the presence of dark matter, but we (me and others likewise uninformed) are lacking a good, physically plausable explanation of what it really is. WIMPs? Axions? What process is so pervasive that makes these represent so much mass and energy in the universe?

That is really cool. I've always appriciated the amazing work coming out of lbls hrtem. Some time ago they had some neat atomic level movies of phase changes! This is done in liquid? Incredible!!

What? the keeling curve got overlooked for 3 pie charts??!!

This the temp of the water - absolutely insane. At what point does the life die off? Is this common in this area?

That makes sense. Still, it's hard to imagine a swimming pool in Arizona getting this hot!

Here is another article I found to have a good discussion of this story:

101°F in the Ocean Off Florida: Was It a World Record? https://www.nytimes.com/...

Congrats! I however have only read the abstract and surmised it might be pretty cool. If only there were no paywall...

Yep, I saw that. There are none that do design review as far as I have seen. I suppose that's more engineering and out of scope here?

I've had the Jerboa issues as well. I tried wefwef/voyager and it seems to work much better.

I was having issues with this on jerboa. I just tried wefwef/voyager and its awesome.

Second for the sensors! In a related vain, I have been looking for a community to cover printed circuit boards, electronics, ask electronics. The pcb subreddit was a great resource where people would provide design reviews.

Very neat! Interesting to consider the rupture of pollens through "osmotic shock" and lightning. I wonder if these can make up significant populations of accumulation mode particles. Single particle fluorescence should be able to answer that. And, even if numbers are low, might they be efficient cloud nuclei?
