Re earlier toot (https://fosstodon.org/@DrHyde/114406337148264313) ... yes, it appears that the transporter bridge *did* have a baby!

My daughter works as a structural engineer. One of the projects she is working on at the moment involves making the replica skeleton of large sauropod safe for display in countries where earthquakes are common.

The American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) urges continued support and robust funding for NOAA, the federal agency that is the source of critical weather and climate information, including forecasting during severe weather events. This is literally a matter of life or death.

Read the letter and the details of just some of the essential services NOAA provides to more than earn our support.
