United Launch Alliance’s #Delta IV #rocket launches from Cape #Canaveral pad SLC-37B.
The military originally planned to build another set of Saturn I launch sites, but that vehicle’s production was stopped.
When Boeing needed a site for their new rocket, #SLC37B was chosen.
In this #landscape #photograph, it’s possible to see the white Mobile Service Structure that houses the rocket until the night before #launch, as well as the fixed umbilical tower, which provides the vehicle with fuel and other materials from the ground reflected in the #pond in the foreground.

Just watched a story on NBC News about how the understudy for #Jasmine for the #Broadway run of #Aladdin got the experience of a lifetime with the help of #Delta airlines when...

While in flight coming back from vacation in Europe she received news that she would be performing as Jasmine that evening (the lead).

Delta went WAY above and beyond! (I've talked about how awesome Delta is as an airline and why they are a cut above, well this is just another example.)

The flight attendants moved her to first-class so she would be off the flight quicker!

The pilot changed gates so she would clear customs quicker!

And to top it off, Delta arranged for a HELICOPTER TAXI to pick her up from the airport and take her to Broadway cutting a 90 minute cab ride down to SEVEN MINUTES!

Which STILL didn't leave much time for her to get into makeup, get her hair done, and step into wardrobe before the curtains raised that evening.

Suffice it to say, her flight attendant did enjoy comp'd tickets to the show that evening (and well deserved).

I've said this before, the DNA at Delta is just
different than other airlines. Yet another reason why I'll happily fly them over other airlines when I can.

For the pedants:

The rocket is beginning to rise off its launch pad and the bright flames and exhaust of the engines builds up behind the rocket. In front of it there is a gray, truss-work tower that has truss umbilicals that are retracting away from the rocket. Two tall, truss towers flank the rocket, and a tall, rectangular building with cut-outs designed to hold the rocket sits behind it.

Oh, Delta.

You can say "Coming in 2024: A Simpler SkyMiles®" and "we are making changes to simplify the way you qualify for Medallion Status" but we all know it's a bullshit move that benefits only you and de-values your frequently flyers. What absolute shit.

#Bullshit #Enshittification #Delta #SkyMiles

A Simpler Program

Starting January 1, 2024, all you will need are Medallion Qualification Dollars (MQDs) to achieve Status. No need to keep track of miles (MQMs) or segments (MQSs) flown.
New Medallion Status Thresholds

With many more ways to earn MQDs, this is what you will need to achieve in 2024 to earn 2025 Medallion Status:

. Silver Medallion: $6,000 MQDs

¢ Gold Medallion: $12,000 MQDs

. Platinum Medallion: $18,000 MQDs

. Diamond Medallion: $35,000 MQDs

It has three orange cylinder-shaped booster strapped together side-by-side. They are brigh orange with a white stripe across the top third. The two outer booster have a white nose cone while the center booster has an upper stage and payload fairing, both white. The rocket sits on a concrete pad, and a gray tower extends multiple connections to the rocket. Behind it is a white tower with a gap that the rocket clearly fits inside of. On either side of the rocket there are two truss towers.

Some combination of #Delta and #AirFrance lost my checked bag whilst returning from Chicago a couple of days ago. I've never had a bag lost before. I've done a fair number of commercial flights over the years and try as much as always to go carry-on only, but I guess it was bound to happen some day.

Anyway, I filled out the paperwork at the airport and my claim has been filed, but I'm not sure what sort of delay to expect. It's not the money; mostly I just want to get my stuff back. :/

It's so distressing. Talked on the phone with a close friend, our friendship decades old, who is sick. She never got the Covid vaccine, refuses to, and had a devastating case of #Delta a couple of years ago. She's obese with co-morbidities and over 65. She refuses to wear a mask.

I asked her if she took a Covid test. She insisted it was not Covid as the woman she got it from went to the doctor and the doc simply told her it was 'some virus'. So, she didn't even test.

She says she's really tired and when she's active it sets her back. She is wandering around without a mask. Tomorrow she's going to some church function and will be passing around her little gift.

I've stopped talking Covid with her because it's pointless. Still, it's distressing. We haven't seen each other since mask mandates were repealed here. She refuses to wear a mask, even for me (still working on that).

It occurred to me that she doesn't want to hear about Covid anymore. To her it's over. I realised that Covid interferes with what she wants to do- it's that simple.

So, the mere thought of Covid is inimical to her. The idea that it still exists, the enemy. No, wait, the fact that I would mention it as a possibility is the enemy. It's as if uttering the word is to be the bearer of bad news, to despoil, to inject darkness. She recoils.

I don't get it. It just makes me want to cry. This is the world now. Full of despair.

Cough has been a thing throughout, runny nose more of a thing, chest pain similar rates between delta and omicron. Loss of taste/smell is less common in omicron than original. Dr. Racaniello points out the study didn’t account for any population differences, and that the symptoms were self-reporting. They concluded the symptoms might as well be the same between all #COVID variants.

After a day of travel I can confirm #Delta remains my favorite airline. This time they were cheaper than #Southwest and offered a bereavement fare that made it a little cheaper than that.

Plus no chaos at the gate with the cattle lineup, no awful jokes from flight attendents, screens in every seats, USB charging ports. Better in every single way.

"The class-action lawsuit says #Delta’s #carbon neutrality claim is demonstrably false as it heavily relies on junk #offsets that do nothing to counteract the #climate crisis.

The case argues that there is a market premium for green products and that Delta has profited from a misleading environmental claim."

…Dr. Racaniello pointed out that by the time #omicron came around, many vulnerable ppl were already killed off by #delta. Dr. Griffin says many recent deaths aren’t happening at the hospital, but in nursing homes or at home. If you’re old and in poor health, we know now that being on a ventilator for weeks isn’t going to make a difference. Thus, #COVID deaths are more invisible. It’s hard to compare the population apples to apples with studies that compare different time periods.

Didn’t think of posting here until after I got home.

So didn’t do a ‘clear shot’ without my sons and I.

So here goes, and you get my mug too!

‼️1st PhD paper out now‼️

Want to know how health authorities used social media to target young people with COVID-19 messages?

We conducted a content analysis of posts shared by the Australian health authorities during the #delta #COVID19 outbreak and found the authorities all used #facebook but rarely used platforms young people actually use like #instagram and #tiktok🤳🏽

I wish #Delta would let you know in advance that you’re going to have to change terminals between your arrival gate and baggage claim. Or if the walk is just going to be over a certain distance.

Walking from Concourse C to D after 6.5 hours of my ankle swelling on the plane was not fun.

In related news, please don’t crowd the person walking with a cane. 🙃

Alpha, #delta, and #omicron variant RNA was more likely to be detected in exhaled breath (<5 microns) than ancestral strain #COVID. Scientists were able to culture live virus from the exhaled breath of a few fully vaccinated and boosted people. 😰

(The hosts note here that being able to culture live virus does not equate 1:1 with transmissibility, and that looking at RNA =/= live virus.) 3/

OH WOW it seems like my baby and I were counted in a #COVID cohort study published in Nature Communications! 🤩 Data from Kaiser NorCal looked at COVID infection & hospitalizations in <6 mo babies from #mothers vaccinated during pregnancy (🙋🏻‍♀️). #Vaccine effectiveness of a mother’s 2+ doses for her baby was 84% (0-2mo), 62% (2-4mo), 56% (4-6mo) during #delta but 21%/14%/13% during #omicron. Hospitalization for COVID was reduced by 80% in infants born to vaccinated mothers overall. 8/

Heads up people who fly on Delta frequently. If you have status, then you likely have a bunch of (expiring) drink vouchers in you Delta app wallet.

Ask your flight attendants (kindly & respectfully) if you can see if anyone buying a drink in economy can avoid paying and use your vouchers instead.

Takes seconds and can save someone some money and maybe make them feel nice for a moment.

All it takes is scanning a QR code on your phone, but make sure to ask during a food/drink service.

@rbreich I very much wanted to return to my electro mechanical #assembly line job at Lam Research. I have severe #asthma and was ordered back to work when #delta was just on the rise. I refused because they are not requiring #vaccination. Lam said I quit and tried to stop my #unemployment during #covid ; they always said we were a family. I treat stray dogs better than that. Now I make a quarter what I did. Covid broke my life.

Does anyone know of a delta #3DPrinter with a dual extruder? Either with dual hotend or with filement mixing.
