(for now)

Changes in the gravitational field definitely travel, and do so at the speed of light.

Look up LIGO

Expanding a little on the last part, Earth’s orbital velocity is about 29.8 km/s so that’s the speed at which we would suddenly be leaving the former location of the solar system in a direction that depends on what time of year it happened. Regardless of direction though, the escape velocity of the Milky Way around where we are is about 544 km/s so there’s no way we’d be leaving the galaxy. On the other hand the plane of the galaxy is only about 6 degrees off from the galactic center at the moment, so if this happened at the right time of year (don’t know when that is) we could launch somewhat towards the core. We would not however get very close to it because the sun’s own orbital velocity is about 230 km/s so we’d still be in close to the same galactic orbit overall, just potentially a bit more eccentric.

It was an elective amputation because he couldn’t walk on it, I didn’t see any mention of gangrene or anything else infectious.

It was not a case where it was removed for threatening his life like gangrene would have been.

There are a lot of categories of food and drink that I will never understand how anyone likes them. ‘Unsweetened and carbonated’ is reasonably high on the list for me - carbonation itself is bitter in my experience, and bitter by itself is unpleasant.

Of course different strokes for different folks, I don’t think people who like it should stop, I just don’t get why they do.

So you’re saying it should actually be pronounced “La Croiks”?

Because no clock ever should show 00:60.

Well, it’s 59:60 but close enough.

Naa, they ‘took over’ WCW in about nineteen ninety eight six.

Well, actually…

That would be infuriating.

Tiny floating hat style.

Beautifully said.

Yeah, I was writing for the perspective of someone whose votes mattered at all to begin with (which isn’t myself). Indeed the electoral college is its own catastrophe and needs to die.

Anyway, yes, the DNC is to blame. I agree.
However a part of the mechanism that helped trump win is opinions like “even if I was in a swing state there’s no way in fucking hell id be voting for a genocider” - I get it, I really do, but if I were in a swing state myself there’s no way I’d help the rapist convict even worse genocider win. There were no good options this election, but there were orders of magnitude differences between levels of bad.

I agree with most of what you said, but voting 3rd party in the general election really is mathematically equivalent to simply not voting.
And it’s worse when it’s voting 3rd party in place of voting for the least bad of the two electable parties, then (just like not voting) it’s mathematically equivalent to voting for the most bad of the two parties.

This is not an opinion. It’s how the elections are structured, and I would very much prefer a better structure, but we don’t have it and have to work with what we have.

Even in the primaries, voting 3rd party usually simply means being unable to influence the major parties - but in this case you are absolutely correct that the “primaries” were a farce.

I was thinking another kind of flying and slightly disappointed that the elephant wasn’t pink

Huh.

I mean I get that this is part of the crypto push he’s making, but still interesting that it’s drug related and yet the GOP president is ok with that.

I do find it interesting that the artist redraws everything each time. Maybe they trace over the previous frames, I can’t tell that, but definitely not copy+paste.

Interesting. What country is that?

Here (USA) I think if a mall tried that it would be suicide. They are already struggling to get enough customers against online shopping and many malls and some major retail stores are going out of business.

They do. I use it all the time to look up who played a character and what else they have been in.

Hey, that’s not nice, they just asked a question.
