TWZ: F-15E Weapon Systems Officer Shot Down Over Iran Has Been Rescued
The F-15E Weapons System Officer (WSO), missing since his plane was shot down on Friday, has been rescued after a very risky combat search and rescue operation and fierce firefight in southern Iran.
This is a teachable moment.

That’s the reason to change to Linux.
It takes some time and effort to abandon Microsoft Windows, but Linux doesn’t force software updates, require a Microsoft account, or remove programs.
Nobody is reporting the specific problem that Artemis mission commander, Reid Wiseman, had getting MS Outlook to run on his Microsoft Surface Pro, but Wiseman has a degree in Computer and Systems Engineering from Rensselaer Polytech and a master’s degree in Systems Engineering from Johns Hopkins. He couldn’t get his email software to work, and needed to get a bunch of rocket scientists to fix it.
That is messed up.

The crew looks like stowaways traveling in a shipping container.
NASA chose a good looking crew. Then I did some research.

It’s been a cold and gloomy day, so Sparky is wearing his Inspector Gadget outfit.

The Supergirl movie is coming this summer, and it already looks like the studio wants to lose money.
The actress, Milly Alcock, is attractive. She isn’t at the Melissa Benoist level, but they make it worse by portraying her as a saddle tramp. She looks like she smells and her suit is holding in her gut.
Writing for superhero movies has been weak, but for this movie, the choice of writers is baffling. Here’s what IMDB has to say about the three writers. Tom King and Bilquis Evely have no writing credits for anything that has been produced. The third writer, Otto Binder, has been dead for fifty years.

Artemis 2 launched today to take humans around the Moon for the first time in five decades. CNN was interviewing people who went down to observe the launch. The reporter asked this kid.
CNN: “Why do you want to be here? Why do you love space? Why do you love being a part of history?”
Kid: “We’re going back to the fucking Moon, that’s why.”
CNN is burying the clip, so I can’t find a version to link. When Spring Break is over, and that kid goes back to middle school, he should get a standing ovation.

It’s going to be a long night.
NOAA says thunderstorms on and off until morning. Sparky has been stressed for a few hours, and I’ve used up all my thunderstorm relaxation tricks.
We have another severe thunderstorm warning until 8:30 pm. Sparky is grinning like the creepy Joker, trembling and panting like he is in labor.
He took a shit when we went out after the last storm, so he won’t be delivering a little bundle of joy. That’s a blessing.
I haven’t mopped the basement floor yet. Since Rusty liked going down there, that would be productive. Sparky can’t see or hear as much down there.

The weather was so nice today, by late afternoon, Sparky and I went out to lie on the deck to enjoy the spring breeze.
