The #balloon: let me drop some knowledge. (A thread) I co-founded the largest high-altitude ballooning project in history and was for years its chief technical architect and lead designer. I’m referring to Google [x]’s Project Loon (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loon_LLC). I have deep practical and operational knowledge about high-altitude ballooning; I’ve designed many iterations of these vehicles and personally overseen dozens of launch operations.

"We got the spy balloon! Now we won't be spied on by the Chinese!" said millions of TikTok users

The world’s most innocuous bot, @year_progress, just went hard on Twitter’s API changes. I haven’t seen this much intensity since the end of 2022, 2021, 2020, and 2019.

A U.S. Air Force fighter jet was observed shooting down a balloon off the coast of South Carolina on Saturday afternoon. The U.S. government termed it a Chinese surveillance balloon that had drifted over the country for days, prompting calls from Republican members of Congress and members of the public for the military to knock it out of the sky. Here's my VOA News radio report.

@Catlynn In case you need this chart again.

I feel relieved, I had the opportunity to take our usual @bagder (curl) + @wget picture. 👌😊

Mathematics is nifty 🤓

🗓️ For non-leap years:

👉February has 28 days (7 x 4)
👉Each day has 24 hours (8 x 3)
👉Each hour has 60 minutes (6 x 5 x 2)
👉Therefore the number of minutes in February is 8 x 7 x 6 x 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 = 8! 👐
