Don’t really follow celebs. She always seemed to have a pretty good persona when I’d watch some snippet video. But when I read she was friends with George Bush, and actually chose to hang out with him, she died for me. Won’t watch anything she does again.

Just checked, the rover weighed 460lb, so on the moon about 76lb. And the fall rate would be slower, so might not be too awful. If it was damaged and they had to walk/hop back several miles that might be a strain.

“I double dog dare Donald Trump to sit in a class of 39 sixth graders and breathe that air...” - National Education Association President Lily Eskelsen Garcia

Having another deranged narcissist enter the fray isn’t even the least bit funny or entertaining.  The very best response to him is to simply turn away and hope he gets help.

Just sounds like one more instance of two countries separated by a common language. Backup lights on the west side of the pond. Bonnet, windscreen, boot, and reverse lights on the east side.

What’s the shelf life of KKs? Do they hold up well when frozen?

So anxious to try these out, but I can’t find toast at my grocery store anywhere. Is that yet another item made scarce by the virus?

I’ll take a wild guess 90-some% is fishing for drugs. One of the biggest moves we could make is de-criminalizing all drugs, just as Portugal did in 2001. Crimes should be based on behavior, not possession of something for personal consumption. Take away the real motivation for stopping someone for an improper lane…

Menagerie of mangy mammals?

For Trump? Only if it’s someone else doing the dying to prop up the economy for his benefit.

Mostly off topic, but has anyone else noticed recently that the glue used on the paper cover on Whole Foods 365 peanut butter now allows removing the cover cleanly, instead of maddeningly being nearly impossible to get all the paper off for so long?

“Is that wrong?”

“At this stage we really need everybody manning their stations and prioritizing coronavirus response work” which is why Herr Trump has decided to disband the task force.  We’ll think another excuse for the ex-members to avoid testifying later.

Yeah, I get that for the referrals to specific items that are on sale, but it makes extended review articles next to worthless for me.  I’d rather see ads and get honest reviews than puff pieces incentivized for positive spin.

Would scans of star fields detect it, like seeing the effect of a lens where the distances between stars would appear to distort as it passes in front of them during its solar orbit? I have no idea how complete our star scans are or what solar system objects might interfere with my imagined detection, but it seems…

Be honest, is there a kickback involved here? This sounds an awful lot like a subsidized article. Having said that over many decades I’ve often purchased refurbished electronics, and have never regretted it. If it’s a legit manufacturer refurb there’s very little risk, at least of it not working out of the box as it’s…

Which would all imply we haven’t been detected by a civilization able to reach us with destructive capacity. Consistent with my tentative belief we haven’t been visited.

It’s certainly possible that the earth has been identified by intelligent beings as a potential life incubator. Less likely that they’re close enough to have detected signals indicating our technology.  I’ll believe they’ve made the effort to physically visit us when I see compelling evidence, which so far I haven’t.

Yes, and I’ll believe some civilization has done that when I see it.

Ok, add 50 years to my radio signal estimate. That’s 75 years to get there and 75 for them to get here if they set off immediately. Still a very small bubble of the universe for it to have been seen by a sufficiently advanced civilization brave enough to risk meeting us.
