I'm contracting with a company that can determine when any employee globally attempts to copy data to a USB or memory card. A group of four security people are notified as soon as the USB or memory card is sensed - the employee's password is immediately reset snd he is logged out. They have to call IT security to have it reset. Should I have our IT team offer to support the Navy?
And now for something weird...

COVID-19: How Thailand is using a 'cheap and effective' traditional herbal medicine to treat coronavirus
Thailand's government is using green chiretta to treat people with asymptomatic or mild coronavirus infections, following a trial in prisons which found that 99% of those who consumed the plant recovered.
Note: I would say "Stop it, don't take the "medicine"!
99% recovery is just a hair less than the recovery rate for people in that counrty overall. Makes me wonder who is editing these articles. Wait...who is writing these articles?

I work for the Navy (civilian electrical engineer employee - not a contractor though). In theory, that's what supposed to happen already! If I were to plug in a USB to either of my computers, it'd immediately lock the computer, lock me out of all computers, and deactivate my access card. I'd have to explain to IT and security both why I was plugging in a USB device to my computer, and try to convince them to reactivate my card. This is supposed to be military IT policy (no exceptions! I think it was actually the result of an executive order a number of years back, but I'd have to check that). That story indicates something went awry somewhere with security that should not have gone awry, and some folks in IT and security are gonna have some hard explaining to do....
Edit: I think we have a similar policy with SD cards. To do any data transfers, we have a number of steps and hoops we have to jump through.
I hope someone looks into it because a rock that size would have likely been hot enough to light up her pillow and mattress.
Great attempt at a publicity stunt, seems to me. And good luck at finding the real one to prove otherwise.

It's likely just a chuck of a bolide that fractured as it hit the atmosphere. Individual exploded pieces wouldn't all be exceptionally hot or marked from the main body entry period.

Geomagnetic storm warning as solar flare expected to directly hit Earth today
A massive solar flare is due to hit Earth today, authorities are warning - potentially disrupting power grids and bringing the Northern Lights as far south as New York.
The flare - officially known as a coronal mass ejection (CME) - was observed on Saturday on the side of the sun directly facing our planet and comes as we enter a period of increased solar Activity..
An alert was published by the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) which warned the geomagnetic storm could cause power grid fluctuations with voltage alarms at higher latitudes, where the Earth is more exposed.
NOAA added that satellites may be impacted too and could exhibit "orientation irregularities" meaning ground control would have to redirect them, as well as anything in low-Earth orbit experiencing increased drag.

Sounds like I should turn off my Ipad, my work computer is off today because my cat is sick and I’m off. So, very good to hear this might add to current events, which some are highly abnormal and others not so.

Apartment in town: Cost.
HOA controlled subdivision: So you won't have neighbors putting aluminum foil on their windows.
Not much more than that.
That I understand. Luckily we live in a mobile society. Our youngest son and his wife are leaving their ~500 sq/ft condo they bought in Seattle for 400k to move in to a 3500 sq/ft home in Savannah for about the same price. I had a 30 minute portal to portal commute for years and didn't mind doing it. Less than my son in Seattle or son-in-law in Pittsburgh and I live in the country and still have property right smack on the coastal marsh. If I moved my property to Sea Island just a few miles away it would be worth 10 times as much and not a bit more enjoyable. We have a lot of folks come here after retiring and selling their home in the NE and buy a much better residence here and still have plenty to bank for retirement. When they opened the King's Bay Naval Trident Submarine Base they had a lot of Raytheon and Lockheed engineers relocate from California. They were selling their multimillion-dollar home in California and building new and better ones for a few hundred k and banking the rest. Which is why I came back here as soon as I and my wife got our degrees and never left.

I sold out in San Jose California about 20 years ago and moved to Mesa, Arizona where we had a house built for 1/4 what we sold our (larger) house in California for. As one of my friends said when offering investment advice "Buy land. They aren't making more of it.) That was way before China started making islands : -)
I've kept my eye on real estate over my adult life. I managed to move out of towns with real estates bubbles just before they burst three times. When the biggest employer/biggest industry in your city starts laying off people, prices are going to drop.
Buy land if you want your children, grand children or beyond to have value, otherwise, be careful. There are houses from the 2004/2005 era that were sold in the bubble of Northwest New Jersey that dropped and are still below their peak (15 years later).
