I can't believe the shuttle chased down a satellite to fix it in five spacewalks. How many satellites have had service missions like this?

The public doesn't really know. The shuttle did a handful of secret missions that could have involved satellite service.

There is also a sort of mini shuttle that has launched a number of times in the last decade called the X-37B which some have speculated might be used for servicing satellites.

It's definitely an interesting concept! The way you say the shuttle chased down satellites makes me laugh, as if the satellites were trying to escape and were zig zagging around! In reality, every mission to the ISS does the same thing as the shuttle rendezvousing with the Hubble.

I use this to search for transactions in my bank transaction history for taxes. Very useful!

I do. But I did it on purpose, also switched my 'a's to look typewritten, I did it when I was handwriting my college essays.

I've always written "a", just because I think the other style is ugly. I have a Christmas stocking which I insisted, long ago, on having embroidered with the same style of "a".

I tried once to write "g" with loop below as commonly printed, but I couldn't make it look decent.

Tangentially, I recently played the tetris theme on a stepper motor. https://twitter.com/alana31415/status/1389886733769007108

Whoops, mis-copy-and-paste. Thanks!

Yeah, also it's console.memory not console.memory()

I appreciated whomever burned a dependabot alert.

This was a great read. Maybe slightly overengineered but I really liked the writing style, I read both parts.

I happen to be taking magnesium for headaches and vitamin D because I'm deficient. Thanks for the info!

Thanks for making f.lux and picasa!
