In Antarctica the seals etc retreat back to the ocean when it is cold, as the water is far warmer than the air.

Your logic is seriously flawed. It only works when compared to humans. Two examples from Antarctica: Adelie penguins live for about 20 years, but do not reach maturity until about 5 years old, or about 1/4 of their lives. Antarctic Skuas can breed after 1 year but live to in excess of 30 years, probably many more.

While they may interest long-term readers, Events, Reboots, and Crossovers are the number one thing that stops me wanting to try leaping in. Good solid stories that run for about 12 issues that can be put out as self contained graphic novels are the things that will interest me. If I have to have a detailed knowledge

You make no mention at all of Saw Gerrera?

And this is why I would never buy a house anywhere there is a home owners association.

So will there be a director’s cut in a few years from now? Something akin to his version of Donner’s Superman 2?

If your only motivation is astronomy, it would be far simpler to just paint it black, and it would still be useful for eclipses etc.

I have a modest car, and a very large pending insurance claim on my house for earthquake damage.

We had several that you could hear what sounded like a massive explosion and grinding rocks directly beneath us.

Having lived through a couple of thousand of them now, in answer to your first part, depends on how big it is and how much splashing there is from the bowl, in answer to the second part I did get to use the line “Did the earth move for you?”

If the epicenter is only 5K directly beneath you there is no build-up, it is instantly full-on. The slow initial waves followed by the more violent shakes are the ones centered quite a distance away. We are still waiting for our house to be repaired from lots of quakes 4 years ago.

You know what happens in a real earthquake? Not you little couch shaker, a REAL earthquake. No pause. No build-up. Just instant full-on chaos. Then trying to hang on for your life while hoping the building stays up around you.

They are not skeptics, they are deniers. If there was enough real science to support an opposing view like theirs, then they could be considered skeptics.

Go full-on and just get the cast of Voyager or DS9, none of them seen to be doing anything much these days.
