Another Milestone for X-59

NASA’s X-59 quiet supersonic research aircraft is seen during its “aluminum bird” systems testing at Lockheed Martin’s Skunk Works facility in Palmdale, California. The test verified how the aircraft’s hardware and software work together, responding to pilot inputs and handling injected system failures.

You have so many choices to make when it comes to your food. You have to choose whether to cook or to eat out, what to cook, what groceries to buy, and what foods to choose to make you feel your best but also taste good. It can be enough to send your head spinning. You can easily get caught in the hamster wheel of indecision, not sure what to commit to. 

Enter Chipotle. Chipotle is always there for you. It picks you up and saves you from choice. You know it will taste good, you know it will fill you up, and you probably have your order honed down to a science. It never fails. It’s never bad. It always hits the right quadrants of spicy, salty, fatty, and crisp. It’s always enough food. And odds are there is one not that far from wherever you are in the world. Chipotle revolutionized the concept of fast food, and we’re all better for it.

‘Ruby absolutely disgusts us. She’s disgusting’: Neglectful parents call their 32-year-old daughter’s 48-year-old girlfriend disgusting, get angry when they storm out of the restaurant #Fun

Everyone has a lot of hot takes about age-gap relationships. We all have personal preferences for how old is too old or how young is too young for us when dating. It can be weird to see your family members or friends start dating someone who is, in your opinion, way too old/young for them. If your 34-year-old sister suddenly starts dating a 54-year-old, it might make you question her judgment. Or if a coworker brings a woman 30 years his junior to the office Christmas party, you might ask why women his age don’t want to date him. It’s common to see an age-gap relationship as a symptom of a deeper problem instead of a neutral reality of a relationship. Of course, some age gaps are more suspicious than others: I would raise my eyebrows at a 35-year-old dating a 22-year-old much more than at a 45-year-old dating a 32-year-old

Webb Finds Icy Disk

Webb has found crystalline water ice in a debris disk around a young, Sun-like star called HD 181327. Based on its presence in our own solar system, scientists have expected to see it in other star systems — but haven’t had sensitive enough instruments to provide definitive proof until now.

Are Light Pulses from the Nearest Habitable Exoplanet Natural or Artificial? #Paranormal

I received an email from Mia Holland, an editor of a German public broadcast outlet, which checks TikTok videos for their truthfulness and takes action against the spread of disinformation and fake news on social media. Mia stated: “I’m currently working on a TikTok video concerning the exoplanet Proxima b. In the video, it is said that light-glow from Proxima b appears to pulsate regularly and might therefore indicate a technological civilization. We know that Proxima b is in the habitable zone and that the planet is exposed to flares from its host star, Proxima Centauri. But whether the explanation…

Africa: Is the New Global Order a Boon for International Taxation Collaboration? #AfricaNews #Africa

[allAfrica] As countries grapple with the fallout from the Trump administration’s retreat from the international order, experts question whether this will accelerate global fragmentation. Pedro Abramovay, Vice President of Programs at the Open Society Foundations, argues that this shift could, paradoxically, enable stronger international cooperation, particularly around global taxation, which would benefit Africa and the global south.

23-year-old refuses to cancel her college graduation trip because her 32-year-old sister’s babysitter canceled before her and her husband’s anniversary trip: ‘She got super upset and said I was being selfish and immature’ #Fun

It’s so common to see married people prioritized above single people that we don’t even give it a second thought. We are especially trained to prioritize married people who have kids over single people who don’t. Single people’s lives are seen as less serious and important than those of married people. They are expected to be able to drop everything, no matter how important to them, if their family members with kids need anything from them. It’s important to be there for your family, and a lot of people get a lot of fulfillment out of being a good friend or caretaker to children who aren’t theirs. But if your responsibilities and duties are constantly being deprioritized because of your age or relationship status, you might need to start setting boundaries with the people in your life who are asking constant favors of you because they clearly think your life is unserious.

Couple try to bring unwell 2-year-old son on friend vacation, demand back non-refundable 00 when told they can’t come: ‘Morgan told us we were selfish and horrible friends’ #Fun

It is an unfortunate truth that every so often, vacationing with friends is a much nicer idea in theory than it is in practice. While it is fully possible to go on a friend trip and have a wonderful time, it can also bring out people’s more unpleasant traits and uncomfortable relationship dynamics. It is the kind of thing that can either go very well or end very badly.

The more people who are involved in a vacation, the more this is true, and if kids are involved, there are also a lot more things that can potentially go wrong. Becoming a parent is always going to make certain activities more risky, and this has to be accounted for in the planning stage. If it isn’t, then there is always a possibility that certain experiences are going to leave a lot more regret than enjoyment, and maybe even jeopardize some relationships in the first place.

Barn swallow juvenile (Hirundo rustica rustica) at the Ormož Basins nature reserve, Slovenia. Taken during a period when the storm Boris blocked migration routes, and low temperatures left the swallows struggling to find prey and stay warm in that area. This one was visibly weak, nevertheless, it had just caught a moth, with remains visible around the beak, and its scales on the face.

Who are the Stolen Generations? #Australia #News

Australia has a dark chapter of history that many are still learning about. Following European settlement, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children were removed from their families and forced into non-Indigenous society. The trauma and abuse they experienced left deep scars, and the pain still echoes through the generations. But communities are creating positive change. Today these people are recognised as survivors of the Stolen Generations.
