As long as the earth-sun orbit stays close to 1 au, then ejecting the moon into it's own solar orbit wouldn't necessarily be world ending. There would probably be some aquatic life extinctions from the loss of tides, and some nocturnal species might be affected by the change in light levels.

The sun diameter is 1.4 million kilometers, and the earth-moon orbital radius is 0.38 million kilometers. So trying stick the sun between the earth and moon at the current orbital radius just makes the sun 1/333000th more massive.

Or get a $25 digital multimeter that can be used for a wide variety of diagnostic purposes.

I got a set of ten puzzles. There's three different sizes/piece counts. Each size uses a singular die. I ended up doing one puzzle on top of another and every piece was the same. Buying a set seems like a good way to get multiple prints cut from the same die if you want to intentionally do something like this.

That's the expression of someone who let rip what they thought was a fart but got more than they bargained for.

If tv shows have taught me anything, with the right mob connection you can get an exemption to that rule.

Bioluminescent ferns bordering a wooded path would be rather magical.

But et al. is by far the most published author, so they are at least sharing in the most prestigious title.

Some of the online ordering services are sneaky and bake their fee into the prices of the items you order, so it's not even clear that you pay extra. My despise of that practice motivates me to call in my orders.

He was planning to retire 6 months ago, but the market hasn't been doing great and his brother in law had to borrow some money to deal with gambling debts.

Yes, one is a final solution, the other is just pushing your problems elsewhere without regard for who else it could affect.
