  He was (apocryphal) the only villager that watched Lady Godiva take her ride through town.

  No celebration until there’s also an alert that asks idiots if they really want to reply-all.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Could space mining alter earth orbit?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  The earth gains somewhere between 40,000 and 100,000 tons every year, just naturally due to space debris. But I’ve also read that that’s offset by atmospheric gasses leaving the atmosphere, so the earth is actually losing mass.

  But there’s also the question of how much of that mass entering or leaving is actually affecting the system mass. Any additional mass entering orbit of the earth and moon should affect the earth’s orbit as well.

  And then, there’s the “slingshot” effect where items traveling /with/ the earth’s orbit can steal orbital speed from the earth, or when traveling /against/ the earth’s orbit can add orbital speed to the earth.

  So, the answer is: it’s complicated.

  I personally don’t think it’s much to worry about. Before we add enough mass to the earth to affect the orbit, I think we might notice a gravitational change.

  I’m not surprised, that Gambit role was clearly based on my own life story. Ryan is just pissed that I beat him to the punch on prepaid internet access, and he had to settle for the less lucrative prepaid cell service.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨LoZ Minish Cap Similar Games⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Pretty much any of the 2d Zeldas fit this bill. Link to the Past/between Worlds… Link’s Awakening…etc. There’s also a game called Oceanhorn from several years ago that tried to be a Zelda clone, but I didn’t get very far in it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Democratic strategists concede party brand is 'in the toilet' - and that's being 'generous'⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Here’s a suggestion: any Democrat that’s ever lost an election to Donald Trump should be removed from any future campaign. I’m tired of various Clintons showing up to alienate half the electorate, and I expect Harris will do the same thing in 3 years.

  I like how the Fox News survey question is “Will President Biden pardon any more family members?”

  Not specifically for heat, but seasonal depression lamps exist.

  The last Godzilla/Kong movie.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨USA President term limits⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I think it’s technically written as 10 years. If a vice president replaced the president, he could serve 2 more terms as long as he only replaced the president for 2 years. If he served out more than 2 years, he could only be president for 1 additional term.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨In the event you believe a contract killer is in breach of contract, who adjudicates?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s a website set up by a white-hat hacker to solicit work as a network penetrator. It has some odd name that’s assassin related (contractkiller.com or something similar, I can’t remember offhand). He set it up, and forgot about it. When he went back to it, a lot of the messages were people asking him to kill someone.

  He sent all the info to the police, and left the website up. Now it’s just a honeypot for people trying to have someone killed. I visited it a while ago, it’s very tongue-in-cheek. But people are stupid and willing to believe anything.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New Godzilla Movie in the Works from 'Godzilla Minus One' Director⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Super tired of the American Godzilla thing. Japanese Godzilla is back to basics with an uncontrollable monster. But when they eventually cycle back to the campy, flying-drop-kick Godzilla, I’ll tap out of those too.

  My first car had a cassette storage tray on the transmission hump. I made a mount for my portable CD that fit there, and ran the adapter wire underneath the dash. So fly…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do drivers in the USA have to yield to alien UFO's?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  One incidental purpose of the Interstate Highway System is as emergency landing strips. But a VTOL craft should be able to make use of even the roughest roadways in the event of an emergency. Activate your hazards to alert the craft and any surrounding drivers of extraordinary circumstances.

  Be prepared to render aid as necessary.

  Not really a secret, it’s yet another military base. Probably used for enhanced interrogation™ during the Eternity War.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is space 2 dimensional?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The system starts out as a big cloud of debris orbiting a central point. Each particle is orbiting in its own way, there isn’t any organization. Since there is no organization, most of these particles are going to bump into each other. This changes the speed and direction of the particles, some of them will clump together and most of them ending up gathered at the center of gravity of the entire system. This eventually gets large enough to become your star.

  As the remaining particles become clumped together into larger items they will begin exerting gravitational pull on other objects. One plane of orbit will become dominant, and the remaining clumps will gradually settle down into their orbits, in the same general plane, in the same direction. Those that don’t will have their orbital speed reduced enough that the object ends up gathered into the center.

  The only reason Tom Petty was in the Wilburys was that George Harrison left his guitar in Petty’s studio, and had to go get it. He brought Petty back with him.

  I’m going to say “What is Tom Petty’s studio?”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why doesn't the American market provide efficient and effective health insurance like it does for car insurance?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Because the American system provides for a rich ecosystem of middlemen and lobbyists. If we switch to Universal Healthcare, what will they do? Code?
