Adults agree, it's not home grown. Crawl back to China and collect your fifty cents, coward.

Yes, we pay connection fees as well. See page 5.

Why?

NASA's obsession with Mars is weird, and it consumes the lion's share of their planetary exploration budget. We know vastly more about Mars than we know of everywhere else except Earth.

This news here is bittersweet for me. I *love* Titan - it and Venus are my two favourite worlds for further exploration, and dragonfly is a superb way to explore Titan. But there's some sadness in the fact that they're launching it to an equatorial site, so we don't get to see the fascinating hydrocarbon seas and the terrain sculpted by them near the poles. I REALLY wish they were going to the north pole instead :( In theory they could eventually get there, but the craft would have to survive far beyond design limits and get a lot of mission extensions. At a max pace of travel it might cover 600 meters or so per Earth day on average. So we're talking like 12 years to get to the first small hydrocarbon lakes and ~18 years to get to Ligeia Mare or Punga Mare (a bit further to Kraken Mare), *assuming* no detours, vs. a 2 1/2 year mission design. And that ignores the fact that they'll be going slower in the start - the nominal mission is only supposed to cover 175km, just a few percent of the way, under 200 metres per day. Sigh... Maybe it'll be possible to squeeze more range out of it once they're comfortable with its performance and reliability, but... it's a LONG way to the poles.

At least if it lasts for that long it'll have done a full transition between wet and dry cycles, which should last ~15 years. So maybe surface liquids will be common at certain points, rare in others.

I haven't even seen it. I don't watch most movies.

Wow, you really think you know something, don't you? Hilarious.

Well, at least we know your reading comprehension is shit.

What I said is that the higher latitudes will have colder temperatures than lower ones when they are at their coldest.

This is a fact.

When you learn to understand English, come back for a debate. The best you can do now is be berated.

I like my Versa but I wouldn't tow even a thousand pounds with it without brakes. It's really excellent to drive under most conditions but if you really push it hard then its vector starts to become slightly indeterminate. Mine is in fairly good shape, it's been gone over in some detail and the only thing very wrong besides the nonworking AC is that the front subframe bushes are starting to develop some slop, but they ought to have years in them even around here where it's lumpy and bumpy.

I think Nissan USA probably made the right call for this country. I've done some towing here and there, and I've driven the Versa a lot, and I don't want to imagine having a trailer back there and having things get hinky.

There is ample evidence that we screwed up an entire generation of kids with constant exposure to screens and social media. The addictions we're seeing right now are just the tip of the iceberg, compared to what we're going to see as Gen Z grows up. Kids are growing up and missing out on very important developmental milestones because of what we're willingly exposing them to.

We can't sound these alarm bells loud enough. We have plenty of evidence of what kids who miss out on actual socialization end up as when they become legal adults, and it's not great.

Haven't tried to run that, I'm cheap and it's not. So I have the energy but will spend it elsewhere.

If you don't want to be asked if you're new, stop using born-last-night arguments. Lots of windows software runs poorly on Windows and I'm tired of people pretending that's not true.

You use the police and military every second of every day.

GOOD. That is what makes tariffs effective at changing behavior. Without that we would only have the ban hammer.

Constitutional amendments can change any part of the Constitution.

That's not what this is, or even could reasonably be described as.

At most, not that it would be inconsequential, we are talking about a government with no limits on taxation.

In practice we have had that since Citizens United. Complain about that if you like.

Jesus would throw their asses out and be crucified for it, because that's what we do to people who are trying to help us.

"Corporations pay no taxes, We pay it all."

False. You paid for a product or service. That money became the corporation's money. Then they paid taxes. All you had to decide was whether the product was worth paying for.
