I was today years old when I learned there were two Fitzgerald ships that sank in the Great Lakes
Today’s the anniversary of the sinking of the Edmond Fitzgerald, which went down in the Great Lakes with no survivors
“Wait wasn’t that a few days ago?” Nah you’re thinking of the other Edmund Fitzgerald, which sunk in the Great Lakes with no survivors

Thrilled to see our work in the NYT on heat pumps in cold climates.
Key facts:
- <0°C, heat pumps remain far more efficient than fossil/resistive heat.
- In most of Europe (rarely < −10°C), COPs stay strong.
- Even near −30°C, up to 2× resistive (less data).

@hankgreen.bsky.social why are there no warnings on packages of Brazil Nuts? Eating more than just 5, yes *FIVE*, can cause Selenium poisoning, leading to symptoms such as bad breath, diarrhea, nausea, skin rashes/lesions, nerve pain and fatigue.
