Legit mad scientist ever trying to rip a hole in spacetime while simultaneously being a spiritualist and VEHEMENT anti-fascist. Insane pursuits include photography, astronomy, DIY electronics, microbiology, computer programming, Earth and space science.
I was up till almost 1AM last night with fireworks explosions shaking my windows. People so beaten down by Biden's horrrrrible economy that they can't afford eggs but somehow they can afford to turn hundreds of dollars into smoke all night. Give that money to me and let me do something REAL with it.

An interesting thing to ponder: Without this already weak attractive force, the entire universe would be merely a fog of simple elements like hydrogen and helium. Nothing would ever have formed of it.

They're both going to be glowing dust anyway with companions of that size orbiting that close. After all the impact events subside and the new planet forms, A will for sure be the largest.

Thanks a lot for that one. Now when I make scampi that's going to be in my head.

Good God, another four + probably 40 years of "alternative logic". I'm this close to rooting for Hothouse Earth.

The current election IS long term consequences.

Well, then you're already way ahead of me, lol.

Wait, you're retiring at 80?
I'm on the retirment plan to be buried in the big dumpster out back of work.

In my area, you can kind of ego-score people based on whether you run into them at the local Publix or the local Walmart. People that think they're all that shop at Publix or Whole Foods here. People that actually need to stretch their paycheck shop wherever they can spot a good deal.

Don't worry, $50 trips will be a thing of the past VERY soon.

WOOP! Boston! I love Boston. :-)

Yep. It's the Christian way; Cave into those pesky little impulses knowing you can just go to church and wash the shit off into the holy water and still go to heaven. Don't worry about everyone you hurt on the way there, Jesus loves you anyway.

Oh, and.. Follow the white rabbit. The Matrix has you.

I'm legit jealous. All I got was a couple of old white men bitching about stock prices going to shit while I was trying to get away from a party for a newborn baby.

This isn't a bad place to start if anyone needs ideas for a stocking stuffer this year. I'm available to test it out for you if need be.

If instead of forcing religion on kids, we "forced" them to explore the night sky with a 16 inch Schmidt-Cassegrain with the option of a decent USB astro-cam, we'd all DEFINITELY think differently. I think we might even get new religions out of it.

I reject your scraps and select NGC5866 instead. It's frickin' glorious.

Well, you can do a lot worse than having a hexagonal polar vortex.

Hang on and let me warm up my MAGA Simulator:

"Yeah but if you put greedy people in charge then they'll fight like hell to make money by making everything more profitable so we all win in the end."

Sorry, it's a little buggy.
