Apollo 13 astronaut Jim Lovell has passed at 97 www.nasa.gov/news-release...
One of my early young journalist memories was getting to interview him and Ron Howard on a red carpet in Austin for a screening of Apollo 13. I bragged about it for a while! (I'm the mop of brown curly hair)

The teacher is trying, and it might get the message across, but this way is more likely to actively encourage rebellion and the intentional usage of that improper grammar.

They're both little brats and mutual passive-aggressiveness will accomplish nothing.

THE AURORA WITH ANDROMEDA IN THE BACKGROUND FROM ORBIT?? HOW IS THIS A REAL PICTURE!!!

She beat Garry Kasparov four times but he paid the mainstream media to cover it up. Photo from my collection, no date. ♟️

4-panel comic. (1) [Person 1 with ponytail flanked by person with short hair and another person speaking into microphone at podium] PERSON 1: In the early 2010s, researchers found that many major scientific results couldn’t be reproduced. (2) PERSON 1: Over a decade into the replication crisis, we wanted to see if today’s studies have become more robust. (3) PERSON 1: Unfortunately, our replication analysis has found exactly the same problems that those 2010s researchers did. (4) [newspaper with image of speakers from previous panels] Headline: Replication Crisis Solved

Part of the debris left after a meteorite smashed into the walkway outside a home in Marshfield, P.E.I., in July 2024.

Small fragments were tested at the University of Alberta and confirmed to be an ordinary chondrite meteorite.

A Canadian man narrowly avoided being struck by a meteorite that crashed into the walkway outside his home.
The offending space rock has since been bagged & tagged. 🧪

Man they're gonna be PISSED when they hear about Genius.

Because 2025 = 45² and 45 is a triangle number, we get these lovely sums:

2025 = (1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 + 8 + 9)²
2025 = 1³ + 2³ + 3³ + 4³ + 5³ + 6³ + 7³ + 8³ + 9³

Pleasingly the next triangle number 55 is 10 more, so get ready for a repeat of this fact in the year 3025.

JACK - so young Jones has been sending you chocolate again? JILL- but surely you don't mind, hubby dear? "Yes, I do - tell him I prefer caramels.

Doris- Lend my five for a week, old dear Daisy- where's the weak old dear?

Now that we're upon another year, here's the kind of humour that absolutely killed 100 years ago

A screenshot from meow.camera depicting several other cats waiting in line to eat at the feeder while the cat occupying it is sleeping. I wanted to see how stupid of a conspiracy theory I could come up with on the spot.

The super solar flare will speed up the reversal of Earth's magnetic poles and that's why everyone will float away into space.

MERRY SNIFFMAS!!! 🐾

The physics of a spinning dreidel is quite a bit different in the microgravity environment of the International Space Station, as demonstrated by astronaut Jasmin Moghbeli. 🧪

You’re still arguing about tabs vs. spaces? May I present…

So in a few decades the average person might be able to easily afford more bytes of storage than there are seconds in the age of the universe.

The age of the universe one really puts into perspective how much a petabyte really is.

Gentle reminder:

Mass of Earth:
6 ronnagrams (Rg)

Mass of the Sun:
2000 quettagrams (Qg)

Age of the universe:
430 petaseconds (Ps)

Distance to Andromeda galaxy:
22 Zettameters (Zm)

SI units are easy. Really.

Asus ROG MAXIMUS X HERO (WI-FI AC) ATX LGA1151 Motherboard Q-Code list from the official manual showing codes 5C through 5F as "Reserved for future AMI error codes".

Computer started boot looping failing to post with the code 5C.

I looked it up. It doesn't exist.

20 minutes of searching later I figured I'd do one more futile attempt at booting it before opening it tomorrow.

It boots perfectly fine.

I guess gamblers really do give up right before the big win.

Tomorrow on Christmas Eve, the Parker Solar Probe is going to fly through the sun's corona, closer than any spacecraft has ever come to the sun's surface. It will also set the record for the fastest object humans have ever made, flying at 191 km/s.
