Wednesday is Prince spaghetti day!

Thank you for this info. I had no idea why a couple weeks ago the calendar app was suddenly needing to connect to the net on startup and then doing a splash ad. Will be installing the Fossify version shortly!

Wait.. you mean "Today, the Trump-Vance FTC..." is an exaggeration? Personally I never knew that we were supposed to prefix administration names infront of agencies but guess I'm a dope.

If the girls aren't in ground, move them indoors during that wet/damp stuff. Nothing worse than getting bud rot with a couple weeks to go.

They're enormous (6+ feet tall) in 10 gallon pots with stakes all around. Moving them will be a challenge =(

I might get out the leaf blower and try to gently give them a dry.

I have two near 7 footers, plus 15 more from the bags. Luckily have an area with a vaulted ceiling. I use two things meant to hang backdrops for photo/video shoots that can go up 10" and hang a few lights on that. My bags are 15G for the photos.

If you have a garage that isn't too much of a mess you can always pop them in and out of it during the worst of the wet.

Can confirm. North central VT a lot of brown/leaf drops very early without even rain. Of which, with this morning's 0.25" we are at 1.08" for Sept after 1.72" in Aug. That said, there are some reds developing and a smattering of yellows.

Advise leaf peepers to skip my town and just stay in NJ ;)

But for any who still want to do it, rec that you check webcams at the various mountain resorts (Jay, Stowe, Sugarbush, KMart, Mt Snow, etc).

While Serber's book is good, if you really want to know the technical details about Manhattan/project Y, get a copy of Critical Assembly: A Technical History of Los Alamos during the Oppenheimer Years (1943-45) ISBN 978-0521541176 in paper (can't speak to quality, I have the hard cover). It is quite accessible.

spoiler:

probably the biggest engineering problem was the explosive lens

Sabine Hossenfelder has been on about this topic in the field of physics publishing for quite some time now.

It really is a terrible thing, though I can understand how some researchers feel trapped in a system that gives them little if any alternative if they wish to be employed the next year. Not just one thing needs to be changed to fix it.

Citation based metrics are much more prevalent in physics than in math (at least in the US and most countries in Europe). When compared with physics, my impression is that mathematics has the tradition "slow, long term" over "rapid, incremental." Of course, it's not perfect.

Not anymore :(

It is not an uncommon occurence in the White Mountains for stray boulders to injure and sometimes kill hikers. Just another reason not to wear headphones/buds while hiking, even a split second warning could be critical.

One man's biased is another man's correct.

At first I thought it was Green Mountain Power ;)
