In a happy turn of events, MacIsaac told the Post that she plans to donate proceeds from the cake to the Human Rights Campaign, which advocates for equal treatment of LGBT people and has stated that Trump is not qualified to be President.

THAT is how a responsible businessperson handles orders for people she…

That’s the tone I was trying to convey.

Its slowness is believed to be partly attributable to--get this--because the atmosphere is fucking DENSE. It drags the surface of the planet so hard it lost 6.5 minutes between the Magellan and Venus Express surface readings of its rotation. Over billions of years, its atmosphere has slowed it down, though it’s not…

That’s a very good question!
The reason why just about every other body in the solar system rotates in the same direction is because they all came from the same protoplanetary disc, which was rotating in that direction before it formed into planets. Conservation of momentum states that they would have remained…

Oh if I had the time I would do nothing but post astronomy bites. Astronomy and astrophysics are my favorite sciences!

Sparks? Oh fnordy no that’s a supernova. Their sex eyes at each other make my ovaries explode.

He doesn’t need to wear something that represents America—He *is* America. Don’cha know.

It’s upside down, a trait shared by Uranus, though Uranus is not quite *as* upside down as Venus. Uranus’ axis is tilted by 98 degrees, Venus’ axis is tilted by 177 degrees. By comparison, Earth’s axis is tilted by 23.5 degrees.

Also, fun fact time! You can walk faster than Venus rotates.

Here are your stars.

Laws answer “how does this work” and theories answer “why does this work”

it’s as simple as that.

This is because theories and laws answer different questions. Laws answer “how does this work?” and theories answer “why does this work?”

There are other sorts of radiometric dating than carbon-14 dating.

Let me respectfully say, then, that when you say “It’s probably not evolution, it’s biology” I have to disagree. This is mainly because the theory of evolution has enabled us to understand biology to an amazing degree considering what we were stuck with before in scientific study. We could not, for example, understand…

I remember getting a thundersnow in Colorado. At first I was thinking, “oh it’s just live fire from Ft Carson” and then I was thinking, “in this weather?” Asked my husband if they’d schedule live fires in this weather and he was like, “nope, was wondering about that noise too” and I was like “that’s thunder” and he…

We came close to breaking heat records here in Montgomery this last week. Normally the temp is supposed to be just shy of 60F. This week it has gotten close to 80. As much as I love it, it’s so wrong. (Of course this immediately followed a bone-chilling cold snap where we dipped into the teens and barely rose above…

Nah NYC is awesome like the ocean. Whales poop in the ocean, and oceans are still great and I wanna swim in them forever. Twitler Russolini can’t ruin NYC with his existence (though I think more highly of whale poop too).

Also, this dickhead forgot that Kennedy *always* sides with abortion rights. Even if they ramrod the most rabidly Christian Taliban judge into SCOTUS, they’d lose (hell the 9th circuit will slap their shit so hard their grandmas will get constipated).
