En aquest episodi de @lacomoditat comptem amb la presència de Miquel Férriz, bomber forestal i representant sindical de la CGT.
Parlem sobre temes d'actualitat com el finançament rus a influenciadors, el 'xiringuito' de Vox a València Activa, la polèmica dels bous, la boda de Juan Carlos Caballero i la lluita dels bombers forestals per millorar les condicions laborals, la prevenció i gestió d'incendis
OK, this is a new angle:
"Cabraser filed a federal antitrust lawsuit against six academic #publishers (Elsevier, Springer Nature, Taylor and Francis, Sage, Wiley, and Wolters Kluwer), on behalf of a proposed class of scientists and scholars who provided manuscripts or peer review, alleging that these publishers conspired to unlawfully appropriate billions of dollars that would otherwise have funded scientific research."

Very well done for persisting !!!
So often I have similarly felt like asking for a hint, not seeing any way forward. It can be tough, but rewarding!

OTD on Sept. 15, 2017, the NASA Cassini spacecraft ended its 20-year mission to Saturn by plunging into the planet's atmosphere and disintegrating like a meteor.
The fiery ending was chosen to avoid the possibility of Cassini someday colliding with one of Saturn's moons and contaminating it.
Let's take a look again at this Emmy-award-winning video by NASA which showcases Cassini's accomplishments and ends with an animation of its fateful farewell.
As Cassini ran out of fuel, a final close flyby of the moon Titan on April 22, 2017 was used to reshape Cassini's trajectory so that its next 22 weekly orbits crossed and explored the 2,000-km wide region between Saturn and its rings. This phase was called the Grand Finale.
At times, Cassini skirted the very inner edge of the rings; at other times, it skimmed the outer edges of the atmosphere.

Check out this thread for some fascinating info on Saturn's moon Enceladus.

This spectacular image of Enceladus and its water jets was taken by the Narrow Angle Camera (NAC) onboard the Cassini spacecraft from a distance of ~14,000 km on Nov. 21, 2009.
Image size: 1580 x 977 pixels (136 x 84 km)
Resolution: ~85 meters per pixel.

Here is dramatic view of Saturn and its backlit rings with Earth, Mars and Venus in the distance, taken on July 19, 2013, by Cassini as it slipped into Saturn's shadow.
This image spans about 651,591 km across. Cassini was approx. 1.2 million km from Saturn when the images in this mosaic were taken.

This is a false-color image of the enigmatic hexagon in the clouds above Saturn's north pole.
The hexagon is formed by a symmetric jet stream about 30,000 km across, with winds about 500 km/h. In addition, the hexagon spins around a tight vortex over the north pole.
A set of these images were taken over 10 hours by Cassini on Dec.10, 2012.
See science.nasa.gov/mission/cassi… for a timelapse animation of this image.

Indeed.
All of Cassini's 395,927 raw images can be seen at

A few priceless processed images from its final hours can be seen at science.nasa.gov/missions/cass…
This view of Enceladus was taken about 4 hours before the final image.
