All safe so far.
The Department of Homeland Security has administered

50 staffers in recent weeks,
including FEMA’s acting administrator
and roughly a dozen officials at the disaster relief agency,
as part of an intensifying effort to root out what the department alleges are leaks of national security information

Smoke alarm (optical) from #AliExpress failed the smoke test. It feeps loudly when pushing the test button, but when held into some nice fire smoke, it does exactly nothing, despite patience.
So always test with a real life scenario. The test button only checks the batteries and the beeper are working, not the actual sensor.
I sent them a nice video and expect a refund. This isn't because it's from China, the same can happen with any.

'Gold find of the century': Metal detectorist in Norway discovers massive cache of jewelry
An amateur metal detectorist hit pay dirt in Norway, finding a collection of 1,500-year-old gold jewelry.

Gravitational waves produce a background hum across the whole universe |
The fabric of the universe is constantly rippling, according to astronomers who have discovered a background buzz of #gravitational #waves. These waves may be produced by #supermassive #black #holes merging across the universe, but they might also have more exotic origins, such as leftover ripples in space-time created shortly after the #big #bang.
Pinning down their true nature could tell us about how supermassive black holes grow and affect their host galaxies, or even about how the universe evolved in its first moments.
To find this mysterious hum, astronomers have been tracking rapidly rotating neutron stars called #pulsars that blast out light with extreme regularity. By looking at different pulsars across the Milky Way, astronomers can effectively use them as a galaxy-sized gravitational-wave #detector called a pulsar #timing #array.
While individual gravitational waves, which are ripples in space-time created by massive objects colliding, have been seen regularly since the first detection in 2015, the object of this search is different. Those previous gravitational waves all have a #localised origin and rise and fall hundreds of times a second, but the newly-discovered signal is more like a gravitational wave #background that would permeate the entire universe at much #lower #frequencies, similar in concept to the cosmic microwave background, which is radiation left over by the big bang and seen all over the universe today.
Here's a #photo (ultra-#wideangle #16mm), taken from within the #GINIX #Synchrotron #Experiment @DESY into the crowd of visitors.
On the left, Prof. Salditt explains the setup and the measurement scheme. In the bottom part, left of the yellow knob, is the sample tower; slightly left from the centre, parts of the #detector (blue camera labelled “PCO”) are visible; towards the rear, a big evacuated flight tube help the #XRays to reach the second detector bench.
Also, lots of #cables hang around.
On the track of the #BigBang: The most sensitive #detector for measuring #radioactivity is now in Dresden - What is #darkmatter? What are #neutrinos all about? How do #stars work and what was actually going on in the #universe in the first minutes after the #BigBang? To answer these questions, you need very sensitive detectors and a lot of skill.
