@ai6yr @cvvhrn I've always wondered when does something transition from "rubbish dump" to "midden" in archaeology. 🙂 (seriously, middens and pits can tell us a huge amount about how people lived in the past, especially now we've got lipid analysis and other tools to tell us what was being cooked in pots we might find - intact or in pieces)

Well this could be awkward, the latest ESA prediction (thanks @ai6yr) of the reentry of Cosmos-482 puts its track pretty close to the Murchison Radio Observatory in the WA outback. 😬 🌠 ESA: https://blogs.esa.int/rocketscience/2025/05/07/reentry-prediction-soviet-era-venera-venus-lander-cosmos-482-descent-craft/MRO: https://virtualtours-external.csiro.au/MRO/#cosmos482 #astronomy #Australia

@ai6yr @mttaggart @pussreboots I'm not sure, I am having difficulty seeing how you'd get that photo and only have one of the two engines on the wing in the frame. In another thread @intrepidhero suggested a Lockheed PV-2 Harpoon. That has a very similar bump on top of the cowling and the view looks like it might match the view from the window behind the pilot. https://vmst.io/@intrepidhero/114495598726467887

@foone @sabik for multithreaded programming you can't beat The Two Ronnies.One thread signals it is about to exit with "It's goodnight from me" and the rest ACK that and confirm they're going to exit with "and it's goodnight from him". Then the program completes with "Goodnight".Oh, and there's the slightly buggy "FourCandles" package manager where you're not quite sure what it's going to install.
