That’s a very workable plan. Thank you.

I’d venture “Yadda Yadda” since we can do multisyllabic utterances.

Wow! ❤️

So how could she have broken with Biden as the current VP?

She sides with Palestine, so she supports Hamas? She doesn’t support Israel? She supports Iran too!?

That’s just the tip of the media iceberg that would have been thrown at her.

Let’s say she does that. Do you think with the numbers that DJT turned out that she’d have gained so much more than she would have lost that it would have made a difference?

Let’s further say that she did, and it was, and she won the election. She’s now thrown a long-term, strategic ally under the bus on the world stage. Not only that, she’ll have to forcibly disarm them, potentially feeding them to the wolves in the Middle East.

How does she politically recover from that? ALL of that?

And please don’t mention “genocide” in your reply. That’s already a know variable in play.

Can you (or anyone) provide a politically viable path through the above ‘top level’ landmines which would have gotten her into the White House and into a position where she could take direct action to stop the genocide?

You said nothing this year, right? RIGHT!?

😂😋😉😳

Vans don’t have trunks asshole!

(A paraphrasing of “Castles don’t have phones asshole!” from The Rocky Horror Picture Show …)

Trunk-or-Treating!

Sorry you unknowingly took a stress bullet for the team! However I really appreciate the heads up.

It’s interesting that the article mentions them looking for tests, yet doesn’t mention applying the theory to things we’ve already tested with other predictions. The Bullet Cluster, for example.

That seems really suspect to me. It would seem ‘a given’ to run the hypothesis against that which is already measured to validate it, or not. But to ignore established metrics and go out looking seems to be a fish looking for fishermen.

Including the envelope it came in and every bit of paper too!

Hell the poster may want to slide a few junk mail pieces that didn’t have a SASE with them into the ones that did just to get rid of them as well!

Very true! I recognized one name in your post. The rest sound too much like dwarves from Tolkien.

Okay… 🤨😂🥰

There’s growing speculation that 13.767 billions years may be the earliest that the universe can support life, due to events like this. The universe had to expand, a lot, to get to a place where life had a chance to evolve, and not get obliterated by these types of events.

Plus our galaxy may be in a void. A really big one at that:

In 2013 Barger and two colleagues, Ryan Keenan (then at the Academia Sinica Institute of Astronomy and Astrophysics, Taiwan) and Lennox Cowie (University of Hawai‘i) counted some 35,000 galaxies from multiple surveys. What they found is that the Milky Way appears to live in a relatively empty area. Per unit volume, there’s half again as much light reaching us from galaxies 1.5 billion light-years away as there is from galaxies right around us.

It’s as if we’re living in the suburbs, and the skyglow we see in our backyard comes more from distant cities than from our neighbors.

If this sparse region that we live in is a true cosmic void, then at 1.5 billion light-years in radius, it’s well above average in size, says Hoscheit. Typical voids have radii between 90 million light-years and 450 million light-years, he says. But this void would be so big, it would encompass the Laniakea Supercluster, which the Milky Way and its Local Group of galaxies call home, as well as the Tully Local Void, which Laniakea borders. “It would be the largest void known to science,” he says.

So the fact that our black hole (Sagittarius A*) hasn’t done this, and that we’re far away from other black holes that have done this, just might be why you’re reading this reply.

Let’s toast to our existence in the backwaters of our galaxy and the KBC void! 🥂

While you’re there try the Apple Fritter! It’s like monkey bread* made with apple cinnamon bits, then deep fried and dipped in glaze.

*=Monkey Bread is just pull-apart bread made from large chunks of dough.

Is that Ed!? Holy shite he’s really changed his look!

Nothing beats a Pizza Hut Pan Pizza, so they get my vote!

I wish people would realize that terraforming is the only way we’re going to colonize other planets.

Sci-fi showed us landing on Earth-like planets and making a new home. Reality will show us dying in a completely alien biosphere as bacteria and viruses we have zero resistance against ravages our bodies the moment we’re exposed to it. And we’d expose the new biosphere to pathogens it has zero resistance to.

We might be able to adapt by living in a protected environment (i.e. our biosphere) and slowly exposing generations of our descendants to the new biosphere. But many, many of us would die in the process. Not to mention genetic mutations.

I wholeheartedly agree!

I guess they just don’t have any other curated content to fill that space… /s

I think you may have replied to the wrong post.

I’m not a fan either, but according to Apple their main News posts are “curated” by staffers.

Therefore it’s not an algorithm that can filter out certain topics and sites per your preferences. If they decide a post is newsworthy in the main area, and it just happens to be from a blocked site, you see that.
