Hello! Hi! I have book news!

I can't thank my agent enough for this, and also @MarkStout, because it was his words on my thesis, which sparked the idea that Tsien's story needed to be a book.
Megan Abbate at Bloomsbury has bought, at auction, former political staffer, strategist and activist Celeste Pewter's Infinite Sky: The Story of Tsien Hsue-Shen, the Scientist Who Took Two Countries into Space. The middle-grade biography explores the life of a young Chinese immigrant who arrived in the U.S. in 1935 to study at MIT, becoming a professor at CalTech's Jet Propulsion Laboratory before anti-Communist paranoia prompted the U.S. to deport him back to China. Publication is set for winter 2026; Molly Ker Hawn at the Bent Agency negotiated the deal for world English rights.

What Medieval People Thought of Different Religions: Insights from Francesco Suriano - Medievalists.net https://www.medievalists.net/2024/07/medieval-different-religions/
Have you ever wondered how people in the Middle Ages viewed those of different faiths? You might think they focused on moral and religious differences, but one medieval Italian writer, Francesco Suriano, offers a surprising perspective: the real differences lay in everyday habits like clothing, food, and pets.

Bismarckplatz, vor der Straßenbahn

Meinung | Danke RNV... Nicht!


Welcher Spezi kommt eigentlich auf die Idee für die Straßenbahnlinie RNV5 die kürzesten verfügbahnen Modelle einzusetzen? Die RNV5 mit der ich gerade vom Hans-Thoma-Platz zum Bismarckplatz gefahren bin war rappelvoll. So voll das nicht alle rein kamen obwohl die Leute sich in Sachen Aufrücken an sich sehr gut verhalten haben. Auf einer solchen Strecke um die Zeit so kurze Bahnen einzusetzen gehört bestraft. Zumal wenn man bedenkt das der Bahnverkehr durch die Sanierung der Dossenheimer Landstraße eh schon ausgedünnt ist!

CrowdStrike Offers $10 Gift Card as Apology for Shutting Down Basically the Whole Earth


CrowdStrike, the cybersecurity firm behind last week's epic global computer meltdown — seemingly the largest IT outage in history — is offering its partners a hilariously inadequate mea culpa: a $10 Uber Eats gift card in apology.

It's a hilariously inadequate gesture for a slip-up that cost Fortune 500 companies more than $5 billion in direct losses, according to a new analysis by insurance firm Parametrix, and forced countless IT professionals to work around the clock over the weekend.

Adding insult to injury, at least some of the gift cards were "canceled by the issuing party" and were "no longer valid," according to TechCrunch.

Liebe #FahrradBubble & Interessierte,

im Moment schwappt eine Erregungs-Welle auch hier durchs #FediVerse:
Das #Verkehrsministerium plane angeblich ein Gewichtslimit für #Fahrradanhänger von maximal 50 kg.

Allein: es stimmt (so) nicht.

Es ist die (leider üblich) verkürzte, reißerische Darstellung in verschiedenen Medien, was die Aufregung auslöst (siehe Screenshot aus dem FahrradWohnwagen-Forum).

Der Hersteller "Hinterher" schreibt im CargoBikeForum:
"Demnach dürfen Fahrradanhänger zukünftig maximal 50 kg Gesamtmasse aufweisen, ansonsten brauchen sie ein eigenes Auflaufbremssystem."

Der Hersteller bietet aktuell wohl keine Modelle mit Auflaufbremse an.

Weiterhin schreiben sie aber:
"... tatsächlich gibt es zu der ganzen Geschichte bisher keine belastbaren schriftlichen Aussagen von Seiten des Ministeriums und der BASt."

https://www.cargobikeforum.de/forum/index.php?threads/massive-versch%C3%A4rfung-der-stvzo-f%C3%BCr-anh%C3%A4nger-geplant.10115/

https://fahrradwagen.com/d/5246-massive-versch%C3%A4rfung-der-stvzo-f%C3%BCr-anh%C3%A4nger-geplant

Ergo: erst mal alle wuschig machen, obwohl noch nichts offiziell ist?

L'idée est donc de proposer ici un tutoriel en image.

J'utilise le navigateur Firefox depuis un ordinateur de bureau. Si vous utilisez un autre navigateur, ça devrait marcher aussi. Depuis un ordiphone, ça peut être plus délicat, mais ça reste faisable : j'en ai fait plusieurs depuis le fond de mon lit 😀

Première étape : repérer le post vers lequel on veut créer un lien interpod
Comme je sais que ce post contient le #motdièse LienPermanent, je fais une recherche :
recherche mot dièse

Je trouve le post en défilant la page !

Je copie le lien présent dans l'icone 🔗

Copier le lien

Je colle ensuite ça dans une zone de texte, soit celle de rédaction de mon message, dans une autre fenêtre, ou bien ailleurs, un fichier de note, un .txt, etc...

Je copie l'adresse de l'utilisateur en survolant son avatar avec la souris
Survoler l'avatar

Ce qui me permet de finaliser la rédaction de mon lien permanent interpod de la manière qui suit :

Despite what our capitalist rulers want us to think, everything is not fine...
_________________________________

The northern hemisphere has had a large number of intense wildfires in the first half of summer, carrying vast amounts of smoke across Eurasia and North America.

These wildfires are generally caused by long periods of hot and dry conditions in areas of high vegetation, and have resulted in increased carbon and smoke emissions.

Large-scale and intense wildfires have developed throughout the late spring and summer, with numerous fires burning in Canada, Alaska, and eastern Russia.

Guillermo Rein, a professor of fire science in the department of mechanical engineering at Imperial College London, said: “In recent years the fire season is expanding, starting earlier and lasting longer. But it’s not just the fact the wildfire season is widening, it’s also that the intensity of wildfire season is becoming unprecedented.”

According to official Russian figures, the number of wildfires this year has decreased by 30% compared with the previous year, but the area burnt is 50% larger, highlighting the intensity of the wildfires.
