Comment Any impact crater might make a good landing site (Score 2) 22

An impact like that would probably expose a lot of subsurface stuff that could be interesting. I mean, there are craters covering the entire surface, but this would be 'fresh' and the material would not have been exposed to the vacuum of space for very long.

That's why the answer to Trump's (or anyone who tries to bully you in this manner) demands are to concede FOR NOW, while you make arrangements elsewhere so at a point in the future you can either:
A) Return his brinkmanship in kind, or
B) Just sever ties and move on to more friendly nations.

I live near a very large bat hibernaculum in an abandoned mine, and the effect they have is dramatic. There are a lot of bats flying around at night, which some people do not like but they do not bother me. And we have very, very few mosquitoes. Drive 20 miles out in any direction and the mosquitoes are much worse.

And remember most of us here are older and better paid. We are going to be the first on the chopping block

I would expect that the oldest and best paid are also the most experienced, and presumably the hardest to replace with AI. The first to go likely will be entry-level employees.

I'm the same way, I pay MLB for their TV service and it works well because the team I mostly follow is out of market. However, they keep jacking up the price and removing games from the package to give to the streamers, so it's value is quickly falling for me.

Protip: If you join MLBPAA (players alumni association), you can get a 50% discount. Not the first year, though.
