Yep nice but of classic projection.

Mine keeps telling me, angrily, how angry I am. Yet I want absolutely zero to do with her and avoid her at all cost.

There's a word missing. Should read "each sober person would have to fight off over 3 million penguins".

Wouldn't shooting them into Jupiter be the easiest?

I'm sure I've read a few things about what an impact that big bugger has on trajectories in our solar system.

Intuitively I feel like a push towards Jupiter would be easier than a push to get all the way out of the solar system avoiding Jupiter.

Far too much does this now and it's a short term win, long term loss.

Die hard fans of the material maybe enjoy it for a bit but then get sick of it. New people won't get into it as huge chunks of it are meaningless to them.

My understanding is that current atomic clocks work on changing the state of whole atoms.

Whereas this new method changes the state of part of the nucleus of an atom.

Basically smaller is more precise. However given that current atomic clocks are one second out over something like a billion years I've no idea what benefit this extra preciseness will give us.

We'll probably start noticing really weird shit when we look at time that precisely. That's generally what's happened when we get into the quantum scale of things.

The balance of this doesn't surprise me. The shift between book and film is quite heavily based on gender.

The books were certainly much more male character based and the films evened it up a bit more. Although obviously still not even.

I could be wrong but I seem to remember this is one of the reasons why the baskets have a net.

You're not allowed to do that but if the net wasn't there then in pre-video games the refs might not be able to spot if the ball went up through the hoop.

Think they were also to stop players reaching up through the hoop to defend as well.

So you know brioche buns should be ever so slightly sticky, but a sweet sticky, right?

Not to ruin your favourite burger place but maybe you should just buy some buns from a bakers and then see what they're like fresh.

At the moment there are two options. You can't quite tell the difference between brioche sticky and greasy sticky or your burger place manages to get grease all over your buns.

How good are they overall? Do you want to know the answer?

Edit: Damn it came to me just too late. At the moment you're stuck in Heisenberg's buns. Do you want to resolve that?

His parents were a GP and owned a pharmacy. They just didn't get it for him/them for whatever reason.

They certainly could have afforded it if they wanted to.

There's a massive difference between just not having something as a child and not even being able to afford it at all.

I love these Tory twat stories where they try to relate to normal people. They're so far off the mark it highlights just how clueless they are about real life.

He should start every plumbing job by saying "It's never Lupus! "

That's very strange. On the recent earnings call the Muskinator said they were bringing forwards the release of new models.

Must have some genius way to do that without the new models team and a charging infrastructure.

Unless he's just running round saying one thing and then making stupid decisions 2 minutes later. No past evidence of that though......

Anyone remember when he spent all his time talking about colonising mars? That was his big thing and the future. Whatever happened to that?

Then spacex got government funding. Now AI is the big thing.

I've still yet to see any of his great visions he's actually delivered on.
