Everyone near Kamchatka should probably duck; ouch, 8.7 is a big quake and the US has fired all its scientists.

TIL that in 2013 wiktionary editors voted to remove the entry for "ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn." Several reasons were cited, but most of them came down to "Iä! The hour is upon us! Their ignorance is his gift!*"

CN: antisemitism, islamophobia

*: This reason wasn't given in those words by any wiktionary editors. It is without a doubt present in the subtext, clear as moonlight, heavy as fog, dripping with poison come shrieking in the night.

I don't speak Spanish, so this is from automatic translation.

Pacific Coast South American countries, like Chile, Ecuador, and Perú also issued tsunami alerts.

Je ne parle pas espagnol, donc ceci vient d'une traduction automatisée.

Les pays sud-américains de la côte Pacifique comme le Chili, l'Équateur et le Pérou ont également émis des alertes de tsunamis.

in reply to Edwin G.

Ecuador could see levels as high as 3 meters. second alert level are countries such as Chile, Japan and Hawaii, where waves could reach between 1 and 3 meters. In the case of Peru, as well as Colombia, Mexico, Guatemala, El Salvador, the Philippines and other Pacific island nations, the estimated level is within the range of 0.3 to 1 meter, considered sufficient to generate anomalous waves or dangers for port

The meteorologist Abraham Levy he indicated that the waves planned by NOAA for Peru would be arriving between the morning and afternoon of Wednesday, July 30, and could motivate preventive closures of ports, boardwalks and beaches such as the Costa Verde. The measure, if applied, would be part of the usual protocols for waves generated by distant but powerful earthquakes.

I've had a few other former astronomers reach out to me lately about transitioning into data science/ML, and I decided to write about it.

This is my personal journey from astro to ocean, and the most useful steps I took along the way.

I can just see some Japanese automotive designer with a fondness for “chopped and channeled” street rods thinking “hmm, could we get that low look in a production car?”

And they did, I think until euro pedestrian crash standards ..

We are fortunate that we don't live in the tsunami zone. Our house sits at 500 feet. I won't be taking Summer to our regular trail to walk early tomorrow morning. Definitely in the tsunami zone.

I remember you mentioning your hill, and I'm glad you're out of the tsunami zone.


This evening's view from the foot of my bed. (Hopefully, I'm in the National Forest but possibly I'm on the Blackfeet Reservation. I'm not quite sure where I am?

I really wish people would get the hell off #Substack.

Substack sent a push alert promoting a Nazi blog

I won't read anything on Substack. It pains me because there are authors I would support if they weren't on there, like Lawdork and several others. Substack's response about the push alert promoting a Nazi blog that even included a swastika makes it even worse, ‘We discovered an error that caused some people to receive push notifications they should never have received,’ a Substack spokesperson told User Mag.” The content wasn't the problem but the technical push alert issue was.

Behooves me to ensure everyone else on @tea is aware of this account, they post all sorts of great stuff constantly.

(Some of it is more Japanese culture focused than explicitly tea related, but there is still a lot of tea!)

Matcha and other types of green teas (such as sencha, gyokuro, genmaicha, and hojicha) all come from the same plant, but undergo different processes.

As there is more demand for matcha more tea leaves are being channeled into matcha production, creating a shortage for other teas.

🤏🍃✈️MATCHA SHORTAGES?🍵👋😖

We were recently interviewed by the BBC about how matcha shortages are impacting our business.

Only a little of what we talked about made it into the article, so I thought I'd share more of what our tea supplier had to say🙇‍♂️

All this focus on matcha has created an interesting side effect...the price of matcha rose 20% in the last 3 years, but the price of other green teas went up by 30%.

The sudden scramble to produce matcha has left other types of tea also in unexpectedly short supply!
