In Texas, being paid to not mine bitcoin is more profitable than mining bitcoin. This has moved from a simple grift to hostage-taking.

@SRLevine Yeah, the standard stuff. You can cancel the app’s access afterward, but if someone doesn’t like the idea of that stuff then of course they should ignore.

Friends, if you don’t mind (and you have a Facebook account) would consider voting for my pal Mike? It’s free to cast one vote, though you can also donate to support national parks.

  Attached: 1 image Geneticist Liane Russell was born #OTD in 1923. She pioneered the study of mutagenesis and teratogenesis due to radiation, and identified the role of the Y chromosome in sex determination. Her work led to diagnostic x-ray safety standards for women of childbearing age. Science, the joy of wild places, and civic engagement as a response to fascism – this is one of my favorite threads.

1. Looking northeast over Lake Michigan just after sunset. The water is gray-blue and lapping gently on a tan, sandy beach. A small beacon is visible at the end of a breakwater that extends out into the lake. The sky near the horizon is rosy red, then a yellow-pink, and finally evening blue.

1. The symplectic potential for leaky boundaries
  
  Charges associated with gauge symmetries are defined on boundaries of spacetimes. But these constructions typically involve divergent quantities when considering asymptotic boundaries. Different prescriptions exist to address this problem, based on ambiguities in the definition of the symplectic potential. We propose a method well suited to leaky boundaries, which describe spacetimes than can exchange matter or radiation with their environment. The main advantage of this approach is that it relies only on the bulk Lagrangian and it is not tied to a specific choice of boundary conditions. The prescription is applied to four dimensional Einstein-Hilbert gravity in the partial Bondi gauge. This leads to a finite symplectic potential for unconstrained boundary data and reveals two new corner symplectic pairs associated with the relaxation of the gauge.

[Fact checkers]
This needs context. Trump never actually specified which Constitution he swore to uphold and protect. We can’t know which one he meant.

Heavy as heck and vacuum insulated. Going to fill them with ice and leave them outside this weekend when it gets back into the 80s and 90s, see how long they last.
