I for one welcome our new Andromedan overlords... you know, in a few billion years.

Or 600 years if we ever discover Element Zero develop Mass Effect technology.

Why isn't Barney the Purple Dinosaur in 8mm? The answer is more complicated than you might think.

Dystopian fiction always made the future look interesting or at least allegorical in some way.

This is way too banal and I hate it.

If you see the actual video, watch for the shit-eating grin she give Hannity after bringing up being in the Epstein Files and whether Fox "News" is covering that... it's *MAGICAL*

Hannity: When did you notice Biden’s cognitive decline?

Miller: I think it was through all of the times that Trump has fallen asleep in public and talked about magnets getting wet.

I got to live vicariously through a person that lives 40 miles north of me... super jelly I couldn't see it from my place in Bolingbrook. I blame Naperville's light pollution.

Seems like that space would lead to some... sub-optimal acoustics.

There are various arrangements that are favored more or less by thermodynamics. Aromatic rings are highly favored (benzenes, naphthalenes, anthracenes, phenanthrenes, etc)

Also, the separation generally follows the number of carbons, and the more gives more possible arrangements.

Yah, except for saying "this % would likely boil at this temperature" (which is very valuable to refiners), the chromatograms are just... messy, spikey blobs.

Okay, so... sort of.

First, fossil fuels actually come from plants.

Second, you can do an isotopic analysis to learn more info about the source of the crude oil it came from.

It's not my area of expertise, so I don't know the specifics, but there is valuable info in that kind of analysis.
