How does that even happen? It’s obvious by how quickly they updated  the poster that they already had it made, but at some point before the release of the original poster. Some asshole decided they should upload the poster without her. Who are these people? What goes through their head?

No, I disagree. I don’t see this as a problem with how people are taught about the solar system. We are taught the order of the planets outward from the Sun, and now, sometimes, what a planet actually is. This work answers a trick question because the answer to the question, “What planet is closest to the Earth?”…

Hopefully they didn’t actually calculate the planetary positions; planetary ephemeris files are widely available (your tax dollars at work!).

The whole calculation is interesting, but ultimately quite captain obvious. The kernel of the implication is that Mercury is on average the closest to each of the planets... because it’s the closest one to the sun, or the (approximate) centre of each planet’s orbit, and is never much further than half the diameter of…

Much like how Uranus is actually the planet we are “closest” to in a third way because this planet’s full of assholes.

Pluto [...] but it’s not a planet anyway, as defined by the International Astronomical Union. Please do not email me about this.

Took them long enough...

Eventually, he dropped Singer from the project because he was unable to secure a domestic distributor.

This isn’t 100% related to his body, but I’ve found that I’ve liked Simon Pegg less the more famous he has gotten. I don’t know if it’s that he seems a bit more pretentious or what not, but of Edgar, Nick and Simon, I’m a bit less endeared to Simon now.

Sorry Steven, you’re wrong. The fact is that “TV movies” in the traditional sense barely even exist anymore beyond The Hallmark Channel. I would concede that a film designed to fit the rhythms of commercial breaks and edited for time by default is a very different beast from a theatrical film, but Netflix clearly…

You don’t talk about which companies can’t handle the bottlecaps and which can and where those are located. Hell I could have a badass recycler that can actually handle this.

Yeah, this site should really stop with the “You’re Recycling X All Wrong” articles. They are less then helpful when so often the right way to do things is so localized.

Well, some people put beautiful pictures on their bodies with tattoos. I’m pretty happy with mine.

I watched it again this morning, and what struck me after last night was that Prince was covered neck to toe, and the only thing he took off was his soaking-wet do-rag...and he was exponentially more compelling to watch than Proactiv Spokesman Adam Levine could ever hope to be on his most skin-exposed days.

It looks like his tattoos were chosen by a focus group and he got them all at once 

The mere fact that it is Fox who keeps hiring him speaks volumes.

At the bar I was at, no one wanted to watch the halftime show. So I pulled up Prince’s halftime show from 2008 and Chromecasted it onto all of the screens. The bar was a lot happier and this may be my superhero moment of 2019.

Those are not tough guy tats. Those are a textbook example of non-offensive, safe white-boy tattoos. They trigger the “omg what a tough guy” response in middle classers, especially suburbanites. They produce music that is exactly like them, milquetoast, and rely on a fanbase that doesn’t know any better to get people…
