"2. Heavy rainfall associated with Rosa or its remnants is expected to affect parts of the southwest United States by early next week, which could cause flooding in this region."

The 18% is the hypothetical worst set of senators; the numbers for the two sides today are that the Republican majority represents 44% of the people and the Democratic minority represents 56% of the people.
The actual numbers today (using 2017 census population numbers) are that the 49 Democrats & Independents in the Senate represent 363,971,955 people and the 51 Republicans represent 286,078,457 people.
(This adds to 2x population of US minus DC, since 2 senators per person.)

$ echo '–' | iconv -fcp1252 -tutf-8 | iconv -fcp1252 -tutf-8 | iconv -fcp1252 -tutf-8
–
So it's an en-dash (U+2013) in UTF-8, converted 3 times from CP1252 to UTF-8.
Seems intentional...

For the record, buying my first ticket in Berlin's mobile app play.google.com/store/apps/d… this April or May took me about three tries, because each time I hadn't set up enough while not walking. Probably at least 20-30 clicks.
I think you want @davidbaronmusic , not me.

Bay area smoke on the bad side today. HRRR Smoke from 12:00 UTC suggests it might clear a little today, but could get substantially worse tomorrow afternoon as a big blast of smoke from Klondike fire in SW Oregon moves in.

Yeah, I have all that. But I think I used to be able to say to keep all the notifications, but make them silent. And I no longer see that.
Didn't older Android versions have the ability to make notifications for a particular app be silent but still visible? I miss that feature, and currently want it for Google Fit. That I met a fitness goal doesn't need to interrupt me. I've now disabled Fit notifications entirely.

Occasionally in twitter or in person is likely sufficient. Or, if not, maybe a comment in the internal phonebook.
You may wish to give pronunciation guidance. (e.g., separated k vs. Russian "kh" versus Sanskrit-derived "kh")
We've known people who say that their nickname wasn't designed to be pronounced and decline to state a canonical pronunciation. The pronunciation was picked for them.

Doesn't the last screen paginate across the next six hours or so... if you wait around for a minute to watch it change?

futureboy.us/fsp/moon.fsp has good data for this. 24° elevation, bearing of 146° (so 126° right of the sunset), and a picture the shape of yours... assuming San Francisco location.

Also, per timeanddate.com/sun/usa/san-… sunset yesterday in SF was at 272° and per timeanddate.com/moon/usa/san… moonrise was at 115°. So the sunset was 157° to the right of moonrise, though that angle difference would be smaller 3 hours after moonrise, but probably not by a huge amount.

3. When the moon is at some intermediate elevation (between 0° and 90°) then the threshold for this effect would increase from >90° to the right (at 90° elevation) to higher angles as the moon gets lower. Maybe it doesn't hit 180° right until 0° elevation? Not sure yet.

I think:
1. If the moon were precisely on the horizon (0° elevation), this wouldn't happen.
2. If the moon were straight above (90° elevation), you'd see this if the sun had set >90° right of where you'd aligned (and then elevated 90°) your camera, but not if <90° right

Seems like there's a huge dependency on major unknowns such as:
- vertical and horizontal separation requirements for aircraft (now quite strict)
- NIMBYism over the new heliports/vertiports they propose
But the proposed directive is a ways from being final, so I wouldn't expect countries to consider these decisions until quite close to the six month deadline.
