Page "Bookshelf" has been re-published
The page won't be a part of an Issue, so I'm making a separate announcement here. Going forward, I'll be putting interesting resources on /pages/bookshelf , and y'all can access it from there. For now, there is only one page there: Interesting Youtube Channels (so you can see it directly without all the roundabout navigating).
Cheers!

Title: Unraveling the Collapse of New York Community Bank: Lessons and Implications
Introduction
The collapse of a financial institution is always a cause for concern, with ripple effects that can impact the economy and the individuals who rely on its services. In recent years, New York Community Bank (NYCB) experienced a major setback, ultimately resulting in its collapse. This article aims to shed light on the circumstances surrounding NYCB’s collapse, the lessons learned, and the broader implications for the banking industry.

Blabbering on tv is not the same thing as running a society. In fact, politicians don't "run the society", industrialists and operators run it. Lumberjacks run the society.
Running a society is hard work, men's work! If a woman wants to run a society, she needs to grow a pair of balls, and then "free time" will be a thing of distant dreams. WTF is "free time" anyway? My time is not free.

Because the spacecraft was designed to travel far from the Sun where solar panels are useless, it required a nuclear power source.
Key Features of the Power System
The Fuel: The system uses Plutonium-238 in the form of plutonium oxide.
Heat to Electricity: The natural radioactive decay of the plutonium generates heat. Thermocouples then convert this thermal energy directly into electricity.
The Units: Voyager 1 carries three RTGs, which are mounted together on a long boom to keep radiation away from the sensitive science instruments.
Initial Output: At launch in 1977, the three RTGs combined produced about 470 watts of power.
Current Power Status: due to the radioactive half-life of the plutonium and the degradation of the thermocouples. The power output decreases by about 4 watts every year
