One way to look at it is that you’re known and predictable, and sometimes comfort and security win. If you can’t be the wild and eclectic person she wants, maybe it’s not the best match?

They always had to build the massive rocket, hoax or not. And the catering costs…

Audacious isn’t perfect, but it’s far better than the others that I tried. Had been using VLC forever in WIndows, but for whatever reason I kept running into issues that I couldn’t resolve, so began a search for alternatives.

The only huge issue I have is when I add more songs to my music directory, I can’t refresh the existing playlist. I have to delete and add the directory again. Don’t do it a lot, so it’s more inconvenience, and everything else works so much better than other alternatives did.

It’s worse. It’s the projection of a 3d shape onto a 2d shape, which is then captured on a different 2d shape to be displayed to us.

It also has a brief 4d dimension, sliced at the second the picture was taken.

Life started very early on, possibly soon after the surface cooled enough for water to condense. We’re in the midpoint of a typical yellow dwarf star like the Sun, and as I said, the Sun’s conditions start changing long before the red giant phase. I don’t see where you get not even being halfway.

I wasn’t claiming man as ultimate, but just the only species I’ve noticed that managed to find a way to escape the Earth’s biosphere (briefly). It won’t happen again. No hubris, just a matter of time.

The problem is that man was probably life’s only chance to escape the ultimate trap, the end lifecycle of the Sun. Which for life’s purposes isn’t the end red giant stage, but long before. Life has had a few restarts in Earth’s history, but it may not have that same window of time for another one that would get to what we have now.

Another one to add to the list when someone claims intelligent design. Approached from evolution, this makes sense - what works becomes a thing. And while it’s disgusting to us, it’s just a process and they’re doing their part to help the cycle. From an ID pov… what the living fuck?

A tank pre-steam power. The force of steam was known about long before, but not utilized. Maybe because the metals weren’t good enough yet to hold pressure? Imagine a steampunk Rome.

Learned this from a work injury. Even waiting a few hours before you get stitches to pull the gap closer together will leave a scar, albeit a small one. The body doesn’t have time to wait on your slow ass; it’s repairing right away (once the bleeding stops).
