    Re: Is everybody having fun?

    I am having fun. Not sure whether it was actually fun though.

    Double sonic boom above my house in Norfolk, turned out to be an RAF Typhoon jet going supersonic to intercept an Air India flight with a potential hijack/bomb situation, now in holding pattern over Norwich before dumping fuel and diverting to Heathrow. Fun? well, my black cat flew three feet into the air, defecated and then landed, safely, of course.

    Re: Is everybody having fun?

    Yesterday was "fun" ... something that's been 6 moinths in the making finally worked... after weeks of troublshooting and configuration updates... so that was fun. Today and tomorrow is all about survival and then I'm off for 9 days (a week and two weekends) ... I plan on logging out of the company's slack workspace, turning off all alarms, and all notifications. I haven't been on vacation in over a year and it shows. I just wish I was actually going somewhere. Instead I'll be doing things around the house and doing doctor appointments and getting my annual vaxxings done... but the point is that I. will. not. be. doing. anything. work. related. period.

    I didn't know until recently that the sonic "boom" is actual constant. The "Boom" is from where you are listening.

    A sonic boom is a continuous effect that occurs as long as an object is traveling faster than the speed of sound:

    Shock waves: As an aircraft flies supersonic, it generates shock waves that spread across the landscape.
    Conical region: A conical region of low pressure forms behind the object.
    Boom: When the cone passes over an observer, they hear the boom.
    Observer location: The boom is only heard by observers in a conical region behind the object.
    Observer movement: If an observer moves with the plane at the same speed, they hear continuous booms.
    Boom width: The boom is about a mile wide for every thousand feet of altitude.
    Sonic booms sound like thunder because they are caused by shock waves expanding around a source. Other things that can create sonic booms include bullets and the
    Please remember next time...elections matter!

    This weekend I hit a major milestone with my cryptocurrency holdings that I'm very excited about.

    I just cleaned my study windows and it was a beautiful sunset. So, yes, some fun.

    Crikey, the more I hear about AI the more apprehensive I am. I was an artist and graphics designer... skills redundant now?

    Nah... You could have it create an image to complete a design of yours. It makes alot of mistakes, so I don't see it replacing graphic designers any time soon.
