    My favorite theory at the moment is that life has always been here, before the planet.

    Back when the universe was smaller, before mass was formed as stars and planets, the density of free floating mass was at some point high enough that there would have been temperatures around 20°c everywhere in the universe and water and other molecules were floating freely in space. At that point, for millions of years, life could have evolved in space.

    When the universe expanded, mass got separated and formed into galaxies, planets and stars from gravity, while life was just dormant luggage hiding everywhere possible. On Earth the conditions once again got just right to step out of hibernation and evolve, but it could potentially happen on any other planet as well.

    I like this theory because it doesn’t involve as much random chance and it could mean that we can discover life elsewhere in our own solar system, instead of only hoping that future generations will eventually encounter it in other star systems…







  • Why wouldn’t they? Pension funds invest in everything

    My pension company gives me the option to choose a risk profile to limit how they are allowed to invest my money. The safest investments aren’t always the best over time, so currently I have a medium risk which will be sloped down as I get closer to retirement. I could also get a more direct control of their investments, but that requires a lot more time and worry than I’m willing to use.









  • Yes. There are plenty of people willing to do the job, including all the nasty shit they deal with, but then they see the pay and it’s simply a better decision to push papers around instead.

    The willing to do the job is also being used against the nurses. Strikes are very difficult for them, because they have a real responsibility and it is extremely hard to stop caring for the patients.


  • Maybe he’s right.

    Billie Joe has been married to the same woman for more than 30 years. That’s a lot more family value than the MAGA idol ever managed in any of his several marriages.

    Green Day also didn’t encourage people to attack the Capitol, unlike the “patriot” MAGA idiots.

    It’s a low bar, but Green Day is a lot more respectful and respectable, even by their own definitions.
