Damn!! The Arecibo radiotelescope has been destroyed after the instrumental platform collapsed on the dome the night between November 29th and the 30th. At least two of the towers broke apart, probably related to the failure of two main supporting cables in August and last month.
What a sad, sad end to a legendary instrument.

Looks like he has a stroke or some other problem.
They are not nice to him and he may have needed medical care.
He may have been poisoned with drugs as well.

Yeah. There’s a joke running in Spanish whatsapp… a common saying in Spain is to “bid farewell” to the old year. The joke says we won’t “bid farewell” to 2020, rather tell it to “f*** off”…

My days are usually 9 to 12 hours since I don’t count sleeping time.

Hm… not counting sleeping time? That makes my days 17 to 18 hours (but I try to have a nap for half an hour after lunch). Looks like a lot of time and sometimes it is, but I am very proficent at wasting/spending it according to my goal of living comfortably, if not happily. 
Eventually after not finding the missing book I wanted to read next, I’m going with plan C.
So now i’ll read a bit and call it a day… nighties lovelies!
Also: YT has pet channels about everything…
…like obstacle courses for hamsters. 
I had hamsters when I was a child and the last ones delivered enough bad experiences to hate them critters. Cats are waaaay better (at least they don’t effin eat each other…).

The latest video up on my channel is all about Ada Lovelace who was the first person to communicate the ideas of a substantial computer program.
The best way to understand her role in the history of computing is to read the work she is famous for, so in my video I take a look at her paper ‘A Sketch of the Analytical Engine’.
It contains amazing insight into the potential of computers, written a hundred years before Alan Turing would give us his idea of the modern computer.
It also covers the mind-blowing mechanics of the steam powered mechanical computer which the program was written for.

It takes a lot of energy, like the creation of a vacuum,
to sustain 100 million degrees of temperature, however,
the effect of the gravity from it is not designed to work
on earth.
Sure, it is on a smaller scale, however, the amount of
energy can be quite stronger than the system we have
on earth.
Already, the nuclear reaction is stronger than we have,
as for asteroids or celestial bodies hitting the earth also
causing reaction stronger than it can sustain without
astronomical changes.

Featured snippet from the web
A team of German and Lebanese archeologists just uncovered the largest manmade stone block ever discovered. The block, which was found in a limestone quarry in Baalbek, Lebanon, measures 64 feet by 19.6 feet by 18 feet, Gizmodo reports, and weighs an estimated 1,650 tons. ~ Dec 3, 2014
### The Largest Manmade Block Ever Was Just Discovered in …
So 1,650 **tons** for the largest block (from antiquities),
compared to the previous 1,600 ton wash tower lift,
with 1 machine,
is a 50 tons difference.
However, 2 machines could lift over the 2,000 mark,
if not 3...
(If not 3 machines, not 3,000 tons mark,
because the added weight and mass and gravity,
and wind effect and related effect also amplify on magnitudes,
not based on weight only...)

How are microchips made - from sand to semiconductor:
Microelectronics usually is hidden to society – however, it is a constant companion in our daily lives.
It tremendously contributes to the ongoing development and digitization of our world.
But what is actually behind this technology?In this video we explain how microchips are made and what conditions are necessary for manufacturing.

That footage is both amazing and horrible… amazing because the timing and the cold blood of the drone operator who kept filming, and horrible because of the (mostly) rapid unscheduled disassembly of good old Arecibo radiotelescope…
I’ve been interneting all evening, not feeling like playing, and now I’m off to bed. Nighties lovelies!
Also: this is like the thing that could top 2020…
If we could prepare and survive, a disaster like this would turn our “spaceship Earth” into a true spaceship… nuclearly heated from the core, with the world’s biggest ice rink as a surface and literal cave dwellers occasionally taking a elevator to watch the stars and look for a new home…
