From the daytime thread, there is a SpaceX web ISS docking simulator

Where do I submit my astronaut application?

ISS Docking simulator game (web game, free, SpaceX)

Uses the same displays the astronauts will see.

Nailed it. All numbers 0, not just below 0.2

OK, it took me 50 minutes or so; took it real slow. (I think there were a few spacecraft behind me honking their horns, but can't hear them in space)

We have seen a fairly large opossum outside our house.

Where we live, we have deer, chipmunks, bear (not seen but footprints seen), turkeys, squirrels, rabbits (dogs want to catch one of those real bad), moles, opossum, skunks, and more.

And we've heard strange thumps on the roof. Was told that was due to turkeys, but I think we have a shoggoth on the roof, being so near to Arkham. Jukebox

I don't think they'll catch one even if it ran up and said "Eh, what's up, Dog?"

My sister, who lives in the wilds of semi-suburban Virginia, had a (fortunately, non-venomous) snake in her dishwasher the other day.

A few years ago, my wife called me to the bedroom because a (now-gone) dog was barking and acting strangely.

We had a (harmless) milk snake in the bedroom. Probably followed a mouse hole.

I found a container, caught it, and dumped it outside.

To my wife, I'm a hero, up there with men who fought bears, alligators, and other bad guys. 

A man's gotta do what a man's gotta do.

I am glad I put a big deep mote between Seattle and my home.

there is a curfew in Seattle tonight.

the good news is that since they emptied the jails and prisons for the CV19 Shamdemic, there is a lot of space to hold these Antifa thugs and keep them under lock and key for a very long time.

the bad news is that they won’t.

They'll get awards instead.

Boston has a black police commissioner - a churchgoing, goody goody guy, but big, with a calming thepresence.

I think that Boston is doing well - they only got protesters.

As for comparing protesters with the colonial Tea Party - 

The Tea Party threw tea in the harbor. They didn't burn the ships and the docks, too

In #13 Kosh's Shadow said: a company so small even the CEO took support calls.

I actually had a support call where a mother was trying to help her high school kid. Would have been better talking to him.

Needed an attachment sent. She didn't know how. Use Hotmail. I didn't. Handed it off to someone who did.

He came back later to say he asked if she had any other windows open, and she answered "No, the air conditioning is on"

BTW, the person I handed the call off to was from India, and made various remarks about Kashmir... He'd do fine here
