Jarhead - Yeah. You're probably right.

Gus - I use sweatpants with flannel shorts to soak up my crotch sweat.

Banzai Cat - There is no "partial credit" in grammar. Like anal sex. It's either in, or it's not.

Mirth - We learned long ago that they key isn't to outrun Star, it's to outrun Gus.

Martok - I don't know if it's possible to have an "anti-boner"...but I now have one.

Gus - Celery is vile and has no reason to exist. Like underwear on Star.


Staggerwing

Yeah, Near Earth Asteroids are the least of our worries right now.

Nothing really rocks and nothing really rolls and nothing's ever worth the cost...

I got my time machine, got my 'electronic dream!"

Sir Slash

Exactly. Killer Hornet-nados would be my first pick.  :hide:

The left is an image from JWST's Near-Infrared Camera (NIRCam) while the middle one is from Webb's Mid-Infrared Instrument.   The right one is from Hubble and resembles most how it would look to the human eye.


The Eagle Nebula shown on the pictures is some 6,500–7,000 light-years from Earth.  If you could travel at the speed of light it would take over 2 years to travel through the shown area .

This makes me feel really old.

really? How so?

I get all giddy when there has been major breakthroughs in sciencey/engineering shit!

mRNA vaccines
StarLink
hybrid/electric automobiles
etc..
My doctor wrote me a prescription for daily sex.

My wife insists that it says dyslexia but what does she know.

Sir Slash

I felt the same way when they came-up with the Horse and...the Buggy.  :wow:

Don't forget steam powered cars! Back around 1900 they powered cars with everything. And then Standard Oil had something to say and the rest is...

...

...anyway this fusion announcement is literally a once in a 1000 year thing. And I lived to see it, announced, anyway. I don't know if I will be around to see it become a reality.

That's what makes me feel old.
