💻 I took several completely independent datasets and "pitted" them against each other. One of the results is shown in this chart: the more "concrete" (roads, buildings, parking lots) my machine learning model identified in a community, the higher the surface temperature recorded by the thermal sensor.

🔥 The result: Data from different sources confirm one another. The difference in surface temperature between "green" and "concrete" residential areas averages 8–10°C throughout the summer. On certain days, this gap is likely even wider.

📉 This chart shows only established residential communities. If industrial zones were included, the trend would be even more dramatic. While modeling errors certainly exist, the overall physical pattern is undeniable.

Do yourself a favor. Follow the #today tag.

In it you'll find people talking about their lives. How tall their grass is growing. How long its been since they've seen a loved one. How worried they are about their plumbing.

It's where we can remember the joy and sorrow of shared experiences together.

i am pleased that watching the #artemis mission can give everyone else also watching a break from the "regular news", which, to put it quite gently

everyone needs a fucking break from

thank you space nerds, for doing super cool space shit! I wish i could play too
