Captchas are for free image recognition training, not verifying humanity. My ability to identify fire hydrants is not what makes me human.

It went from 1 pound air loss per day to 2 pounds per day.

So it is significant in the statistics sense. That is a very measurable and sudden change which definitively shows that either a new leak has occured, or an existing leak has suddenly worsened.

However, 2 pounds per day loss is not severe on its own. Presumably the worry is that without knowing what caused the sudden increase, they can't know whether a sudden and much worse intensification of losses will occur. So the astronauts not involved in repair activities should be ready to evacuate until the situation is fully evaluated and a repair plan is ready.

Oxygen generators recycle CO2 back into O2. They can't create new air. So lost air is replaced from compressed gas storage tanks that get replenished from supply flights. 2 pounds per day is easy to supply from the tanks. The issue here is not knowing why there is a sudden doubling of losses and therefore lacking confidence that the situation won't worsen rapidly.

Bad headline from the Guardian on this one.

There's a big difference between evacuation readiness and evacuation.

There was a sudden, but not catastrophic increase in air loss from 1 pound per day to 2 pounds per day. Until the source of the loss increase is found, NASA doesn't know if this is new damage such as from a micrometioroid impact or if existing damage is growing. Like a leaking dam, damage in weakened metal can grow rapidly without warning. So the astronauts not involved in the repair efforts are ordered to be ready for evacuation if the situation starts worsening rapidly.

I personally expect the source of the leak to be found and repaired without evacuation.

Some of the nicer burr grinders are significantly quieter. Still not close to silent, but much less likely to disturb someone in another room.

Indices that don't include spacex can still be affected. As the major indices have to make liquidity available to purchase SPCX, that will suppress the value of everything else in their baskets to some extent. So the indices not including SPCX may be immune to direct SPCX volatility, but they won't be immune to all the effects of rapid inclusion.

No one said it was a love match.

Is there much of a resale market to recuperate some of the costs on modules you replace? I could see slower depreciation being part of an economic justification, but only if there's a robust second hand parts market.

I don't think it's the wokesters being owned here.

I thought that was a bowling alley carpet.

Does he have any young kids who have recently gotten into bedazzling?

I wish inverter type microwaves were standard. The vast majority of residential microwave ovens only modulate on like a 10 second interval. So you put it on power setting 3 or 30 and it will pump out full power for 3 seconds then off for 7 seconds. This works for things like defrosting meat, but a bunch of foods will still start popping and drying out in those few seconds. Inverter microwaves modulate many times a second so they can warm much more fragile foods without searing them.

In times of turmoil, it is prudent to keep a healthy portion of your savings in liquid assets.

I'm surprised they have negative bouyancy with all that trapped air in their feathers.
