If you like space exploration and science, The Planetary Podcast has been going for like 20 years. Tons of amazing interviews with scientists, engineers, astronauts, administrators.

Sled down the stairs and out the front door like in Home Alone. My stairs didn’t perfectly line up so I hit the edge and went tumbling. luckily at 7 my bones were made of rubber and I only had bruises

“Boarding starts 4 hours before the flight because we have to load so many damned passengers and luggage”

Plus the built in USB c slots are recessed underneath which might be a pain to plug and unplug things.

Yeah it was definitely aurora because there weren’t many clouds, it was a pretty clear night, just windy

One time I was on a road trip with some friends. One of my friend’s grandparents owned a small farm in northern Iowa. We stopped there for the night to take a break and rest up. At one point in the night I heard a spooky howling sound that woke me up. I looked out the window and the sky was glowing green and had a magical spookiness about it.

But there was a moment when I thought I was on a haunted farm

You signed the agreement, now we get EVERYTHING! I recently enabled duckduckgo’s app tracking protection and it has been eye opening. In the past 7 days it’s blocked 4200+ tracking attempts.

Didn’t a lot of former members of the opera dev team go on to make Vivaldi? I really like Vivaldi but I always come back to my bae, Firefox

“Eventually, the FCC worked out how the hacker had done it. By placing his or her own dish antenna between the transmitter tower, the hacker could have effectively interrupted the original signal. They wouldn’t even have needed expensive equipment, just good timing and positioning.”

I don’t understand this. Do they mean they put up a dish ON the transmitter tower and then overpowered the original transmitter? That would take seriously expensive equipment as those TV transmitter towers output a serious amount of power, a local station in my area broadcasts at 1000 kilowatts.

So the question, there must be some sort of cut off age at which video games are no longer an acceptable pastime. Is it absolute age based (nothing after 35) or is it something to do with the progression of games into popular culture and people born after, say, 1986 will not see it as unacceptable?

Why do you care what other people/society thinks? Play/watch/read/do whatever you want. As long as you’re not hurting anybody and you’re enjoying yourself why would it matter
