How many 1968 valiants need to be driving in a single TROPOMI nadir pixel to be detectable from space.

Ok, so if I read this report correctly, your son's car is blowing 5.5 g/mi NOx! So yeah, 1 mile in the valiant is like 200 miles in fleet average. The test valiant here was a 1970, so perhaps worse! Would be a good problem set question. www.epa.gov/sites/defaul...

FWIW, this is one idea being considered for the power hour at the GRC this summer. Feedback / suggestions are welcome!

I can't even convince my kids' dentist to stop giving out PFAS-based dental floss samples.

5.25" floppy disks came out in 1976, 24 years before your grad school visit. WindowXP was released in 2001. We are now the dinosaurs 🦕.

Pretty much the same here in Wisconsin ...

Replace "dogs" with swiss made mass spectrometers for an ironic twist.
