so idk if any of ya'll knew but apparently Voyager 1 has been out of contact with nasa for the past five months and contact has only just been reestablished! it takes 22.5 hours to send messages to Voyager 1 and another 22.5 to receive messages back. this little machine has been telling us about instellar space (space between systems) for years now and a chip responsible for sending the data packages stopped working so nasa scientists figured a work around that actually managed to work and now, now little Voyager 1 is going to be able to talk to us again.

like i'm so genuinely happy about this and like we really are the generation that fell in love with little robot explorers aren't we

Y'all, the world is sleeping on what NASA just pulled off with Voyager 1

The probe has been sending gibberish science data back to Earth, and scientists feared it was just the probe finally dying. You know, after working for 50 GODDAMN YEARS and LEAVING THE GODDAMN SOLAR SYSTEM and STILL CHURNING OUT GODDAMN DATA.

So they analyzed the gibberish and realized that in it was a total readout of EVERYTHING ON THE PROBE. Data, the programming, hardware specs and status, everything. They realized that one of the chips was malfunctioning.

So what do you do when your probe is 22 Billion km away and needs a fix? Why, you just REPROGRAM THAT ENTIRE GODDAMN THING. Told it to avoid the bad chip, store the data elsewhere.

Sent the new code on April 18th. Got a response on April 20th - yeah, it's so far away that it took that long just to transmit.

And the probe is working again.

From a programmer's perspective, that may be the most fucking impressive thing I have ever heard.

Trope of the day is the parent by accident aka accidental child acquisition. Somehow someone who didn't and maybe shouldn't have kids before, acquires a child or at least a younger person, who's just not leaving anymore. Suddenly they are responsible for some little idiot's well-being - and they're unexpectedly great at it.

Random Polish!Ice brainrot

Ice who grows up making Pierogi following a recipe card hand written by his great grandmother that makes enough to feed a small army

Ice who after joining the Navy doesn't have the time/money/even enough people to eat all of those pierogi so he learns to pare down the recipe to be just a few servings worth, and enlisting Slider in the long tedious cooking process.

Ice who, after he and Mav take in Bradley, makes the same pared down recipe, and teaches little Bradley how to fill and seal each Pierogi perfectly, (meanwhile mav still struggles to get it right and produces lumpy results)

Ice who makes pierogi again for roosters first dinner back at home after everything, and when roo gets there early (bc he is his fathers son) he's immediately pulled back into the assembly line they'd established so long ago

Ice who realizes that now that the daggers are also practically his kids that he can make the whole recipe again, without cutting it down. Ice who puts all the daggers through a mini pierogi making bootcamp so that they all can help out.

(It turns out that Rooster, Bob, Harvard, Coyote, Halo and Omaha master filling and sealing really easily, so their left doing that while Phoenix, Fritz, and Yale roll out dough and cut out disks of it. Fanboys pierogi are still a little misshapen but he's determined to get it right. Payback takes trays of finished pierogi back to where Ice stands in front of the stove top, ready to blanch them.)

(Hangman and Mav sit out, Hangman because "really pops it's too many cooks in the kitchen, I won't be much help" and Mav because "I was on active duty in the pierogi wars for how many years now? I am officially retired now that the reinforcements are here) (they sneak into the kitchen after dinner and bake a pretty mean dessert, so they're still contributing)

#is this comprehensible #based in my family's pierogi making traditions #it's a full on assembly line every time #bc the recipe makes so many #one or two people cut out dough #three or four fill them #and then one person (it used to be my great grandma) is in charge of actually cooking them #we always blanch them first #because then they can be frozen and saved #and then when it's time to eat we pan fry them #top gun headcanons #top gun #top gun maverick #tom iceman kazansky #pete maverick mitchell #bradley rooster bradshaw #teddy 06 #teddy06

Tell me why I just found out (some four months after it got sent off to my colleges) that in his letter of recommendation one of my teachers talked in length about the incident in which I told him that he had the moral backbone of a chocolate eclair-

SIR IM TRYING TO LOOK RESPECTABLE HERE

#let's bare in mind here #he flat out told me this was the only rec letter that someone had asked him to write this year #and during which he also called me 'easily the class star' #I'm gonna start sobbing #I got to read my other rec letter too #from a teacher I've had since freshman year #and I'm gonna cry #it's like finally hearing my parents say nice things about me #except it's teachers I have mildly parasocial relationships with #that I totally definitely didn't spend most of the time in their classes scared I would acidently call them mom/dad #god what has my life turned into #adventures of a (technically) college bound kid #teddy 06 #teddy06

my day is going terrible sadly, how is your day going?

Oh that's not good :(

Mines been overall mediocre

I joined a spontaneous eclipse viewing party in my school parking lot with half the drama club and two of the principals so that was cool

But now we're choreographing the finale of our spring musical, and I have a migraine and the big rehearsal speaker (Burt) is not helping :(

I hope your day gets better

Thinking about the fact that today I was sitting in my b block scrolling through the hellsite on my phone and the guy sitting next to me (who is kind of my friend but also kind of isn't beucase we were talking at one point but not anymore and knows a shocking amount of random things about me and has said/done some odd things but we can't get into that now) saw and was like

Oh I can't beilive tumblr is still like up and running like that's crazy that people still use it

Which sparked a discussion about different kinds of social media in which he described tumblr as being in the "dark weird evil area"

#so that was #interesting #I tried to explain that it's still very much alive #and also the who booping thing #but he didn't seem to beilive me #the only thing he knew about tumblr was dash con and the porn ban #which like #you know what that's not my place to question #plus we were watching Coraline in class #and I tried to explain the Neil Gaiman thing #but Neil Gaiman doesn't have any social media #teddy 06 #teddy06 #tumblr #hellsite
