Who in their right mind calls a ship like that. The word-by-word translation is the Deer-mountain Mountaineer, mountain being GOR in these words. It sounds so fucking stupid it’s hilarious.
I wish we were ready for another Carl Sagan. If we are then I’m waiting to be awed.
A casual post on the interwebs about losing/gaining communication with an object that uses less power than my NVIDIA 2080 beyond the gravitational pull of our Sun.
Lawl. Fuck that. Crazy. People looking for a miracle well just read the fucking article. Mankind can do amazing things when we just put our minds to it.
(Pre-edit: I was thinking I should use the ever wise internet to verify claims about gravitational pull. I’m 100% wrong but the point still stands. Damn it we can do anything if we just agree and put our minds to it. [From: NASA Despite the probe entering interstellar space, Voyager 2, along with Voyager 1, have not left the solar system and won’t for quite a while, NASA said. The space agency said Voyager 2 will leave the Oort Cloud, “a collection of small objects that are still under the influence of the Sun’s gravity,” in approximately 30,000 years, so it is still being influenced by the Sun’s gravity to some extent.])
Hail is definitely a summer thing here, storms in general actually - or at least they were before all the constant droughts and heat waves. I actually feel this summer was a lot closer to how I remember them from when I was a kid.
It’s not uncommon in summer but to that extent it is - and my comment only said that it’s not an autumn thing in Germany and I stand by that since it’s usually only happening during summer storms or in winter
In autumn it usually just rains since we don’t have those extreme short storms after a calm day the same way we have in summer and hail only happens with those
No it's projected to go up towards the 30 degrees next week again. Also, the last time I remember having 30 cm snow was a couple decades ago or so. You know, when we also owned sleds and were actually able to use them. I really don't need 30 cm hail though, but I guess the pieces weren't that large at least. I once witnessed a hail storm that had near golf sized ones, which really fucking hurt.
The fact that we can maintain communication with something so far away boggles my fucking mind. Technology is some good shit, sad that NASA keeps getting funded less and the military keeps getting funded more.
Pasquale said: "In the act I have a great big pair of moose antlers and they’re huge things - they’ve got like these huge prongs sticking out, and the gag is I have to put them on my head and I go ‘I put too much mousse on my hair’.
"But at the end of the act the curtains came down and all my props are strewn all over the stage and they bring the lights down obviously.
“As I’m starting to put all my props away and I literally trip over my moose head,” he said.
…
“Seriously, I [thought] I was going to die,” he added.
If that’s the kind of joke he’s bringing, it surely wouldn’t have been the first time he’s died on stage.
He’s carting these huge fucking antlers around on a national tour just for the lamest of lame puns. He must have workshopped this “gag” and miraculously not died on his arse, for him to decide it’s worth hauling the antlers around. Baffling.
