Three jobs applied to today.

(And yet another offer from a company I'm not familiar with asking me to take up a contract in Toronto. I can't afford to move. Not yet, anyway.)

Watching full city council arguing over whether to go with an investigation by the city's auditor-general or a full judicial inquiry re: what exactly went wrong re: the first expansion of Ottawa's LRT system and why. It's been going for the better part of five hours so far, still in progress as I type this. It's gotten rather heated at times!

I see that New Shepherd 18 went without a hitch. Eleven minutes and, at age 90, William Shatner is now an astronaut in addition to everything else he's been across the decades, flawed as he's been.

What else? I think that I realized yesterday that I'd forgotten that I'd been borrowing a CPAP machine for at least a year before actually purchasing one. Memory issues...

Good point.  I know NASA astronauts were always wired to an amazing degree during launch, I assume they still are.  And I would assume that NASA is requiring them to be so during SpaceX launches.  But what about non-NASA launches or from orgs like BH or Virgin?  There's also the question of what could be done if something went amiss: on a NASA launch, the people are trained and have medical equipment.  Of course, with BH and Virgin, they're not up very long - currently.  SpaceX just sent those people up for what?  Three days?  And I believe they did conduct some experiments, though I'm not sure how serious they were.
