This is the preserved shell of a giant 'ancient armadillo' creature called Glyptodont that roamed the earth around 20,000 years ago. A farmer in Argentina uncovered four of them in a dried-out riverbed near Buenos Aires in February 2020.

Water levels at Shasta Lake.

One of your best posts in a while!

That pick of Shasta Lake (Lake Shasta?) is amazing. It may not look like a big difference, but I suspect that difference accounts for an enormous amount of water.

Regarding the subsidence in Cali, when these huge volumes of water come in and sit on top of the land, do they increase the subsidence before they have a chance to soak in? Especially that one spot, what is it the San Joaquin Valley and Lake Tulare?

Yes, evidently this really is a movie!








Colossus was the first *large-scale* electronic *digital* computer. Built in 1943, it was used at Bletchley Park to decode the ultra-secret Tunny cipher [far more complex than Enigma and used for the highest grade of German intelligence].

The Skyrocket had a novel appearance when it first debuted in April 1940. A snub-nosed fuselage that suddenly ended on the leading edge of the wing and twin tails to match the two engines. It was a low-wing monoplane with a short fuselage that began aft of the wing’s leading edge with a twin tail assembly.

Saturn Analog Computer. Electronic engineer testing a new transistorized computer just completed at English Electric, Kidsgrove Works in Staffordshire, UK, 1960. Developed from the miniaturization experience gained building the "Mars" prototype a year earlier and integrating many of its more successful parts. Used for developing missile guidance systems and radar equipment, it was a type of computer that used the continuous variation aspect of electrical quantities (analog signals) to model the problem being solved. In contrast, digital computers represent varying quantities symbolically and by discrete values of both time and amplitude.

Watched it tonight. It's only 70 minutes long, which is about 60 minutes longer than it needs to be. It's bad, really bad.
If you want to watch it, it's available on Roku and Freevee, probably some other free streamers

What's worse? They're making another one.
