He has scores of them. I've seen at least 60. Lately he's also doing "Educational Editions" your younger audiences, suitable for class rooms.

So much better than the 16 mm b&w
"Things living in the tire underneath the porch"
from my hs bio of 50 years ago.

Scooped my PhD-candidate spawn a while ago by seeing her Lead Investigator in the credits for "How Snakes Move" though the material was not used.

She rounded up the other docs, masters and uggies and stormed in to his office,
"WTF???"

(He was too self-effacing to mention it.)

A pub crawl ensued.

He's now putting out "Educational Editions" suitable for younger audiences and class rooms.

All we had were the 16 mm, b&w,
"Things that live in the old tire underneath the back porch."

Dyson spheres,
even if they could be build and not crumple in on themselves,
would hide all visible light of the host star.

Jupiter = 2*10^27 kg
Sphere at Earth radius = 3*10^17 km2 = 3*10^27 cm2
so, 0.7 kg / cm2
Density of steel = 8 gr / cm3
...
a steel shell 80-90 cm thick
less than a yard,
nope.

Sorry if it's a repost.

If you need a break, have a peek at ZE Frank's stuff over the past 13+ years.

NOT for children or squeamish people.

Biologists in the know love being in his credits which is great for inspiring research.

He forgot the huge transfer of wealth to those who buy in based on insider knowledge.

The references to ink and piercings was meant to highlight just how deep the intolerance of some can go.

Your opinions are not triggering me at all.

I was trying to point out just how insane a great many people have become who, in the past, would have been simply labelled as "conservative".

"THE worst IS YET TO COME!!!"

1 - Project 2025/GOP/MAGA lose both House and Senate, badly, in midterms.
2 - Thomas & Alito retire.
3 - DJT or JD (per 22A after a quick 25A) tries to install a 6-3 SC(R)OTUS through 2052.

11/3/26 - 1/3/27 may not be a picnic.

What happens if/when he hears,
"Sorry, but you've only got (time measurement) left."
?

Of course,
that may have already happened.
just saying

10 days,
please let him hold his breath that long.

"force majeure" is insurance-speak for,

"You're f*cked!"

Equivalent diplo-speak is,
"Clear and Present Danger"

MAGA be like,
"45,000 or bust!"

I'm beginning to think that it must be something in our local aquifer?

60+ , male , white , cis , het , no ink , no piercings and only a minor fraction of my "cohort" from 4-5 decades ago are "conservative".

WTF made such misanthropes of them elsewhere?

If it causes any offence I'll remove this.

Some fact about sexual abuse

My numbers were almost and 5k+ but yeah.
Hell, I'll even stipulate to the 5 because, you know, anyone can have "issues"

Add in the cis females and it gets worse.

Actuarily speaking,
0.054768 / 365 =
1 / 6,665 chance that he shuffles off on his birthday.

Put me down for $10

Anyone else?

Documentary proof of the Italian Space Laser

So will, $3 or $4 or $5 or ...
be the new $2
?

And just wait until every one of the Magnificent Seven, but NVIDIA, starts posting losses.

Get your money out, while you have some left, for your 50 year mortgages, 10 year car loans and the next mobile device.

Does anyone remember the Suez Canal being blocked for 6 days in 2021? That only stopped 6% of the world crude traffic.

To quote Gandalf,
"like the falling of small stones that starts an avalanche".

Sweden started divesting from US last year.
CDPQ is doing so.

Let the US play solitaire for a while.

Xi's power move : publicly sell US and pay his folks to plant trees until the midterms.

"There's no place for the state in the bedrooms of the nation" Justice Minister Pierre Trudeau speaks with reporters about his Omnibus Bill. Aired on Feb. 21, 1967.

To paraphrase Pierre Elliott Trudeau, almost 49 years ago :

"The only other person who need be concerned with what is in one person's undergarments is the other consenting adult."

I take no issue with your post, at all.

It was just to point out that there are fast-fingered but disingenuous MAGA that will point to an exception and say, "SEE!"

I counter with intersexed being as common as red hair, 1 / 60, but that trans-identifying mass casualty events are about 0.1% overall.

Do the words,

"immediate irremediable harm to millions of people"

have any bearing on the SAVE Act or an equivalent EO
?

I sure SC(R)OTUS is just desperate to see such an emergency application of immediate injunctive relief,
this term.

I believe that a minor who has obtained legal emancipation can do so.

Not judging, just clarifying as this could very well be those whom MAGA speaks of when they cite these monsters under the bed.

Please let him old his breath so long.

Grumpy is neither.

Future generations in the US will thank this man for not doing anything to stop Grumpy from destroying himself, MAGA, the GOP and Project 2025.
