@Axtremus said in XBox Live is down: Well, anyone here has any kid (under 18 years of age) that plays Xbox? Yes, but not X-Box Live…

On a related note, there's a 3-episode series on Hulu about octopuses. Not the best I've seen, but still worth a watch. The documentary comments that most octopuses live only about 8 years. Once they're born, they have no interactions with their parents, so they learn everything on their own. They showed an octopus using a clam shell as a shield - tools.

Someone has to manage the flow of millions of Chinese spies walking across our borders. Cuba would be a convenient location.

True. And to be fair, Trump’s shenanigans (not accepting his loss) and statements (killing political rivals, hypothetically) aren’t helping his cause. Still… the 2028 election will go on like normal. Democracy continues.

It's only once a week. For the length of the war. They are very good at what they do.

If they honestly George Washington would have been upset by depriving dirty old men the chance to creep all over 18 year olds rather than 21 year olds, they might be reading the Constitution a little "liberally". As soon as somebody says "It's unconstitional" in about 90% of cases you just know they're trying to do something that makes no fucking sense whatsoever.

https://www.space.com/gravitational-waves-lunar-year-cosmic-clock-antikythera-mechanism Fresh research about ripples in the fabric of spacetime suggests a nearly 2,000-year-old cosmic calculator followed the lunar calendar instead of the solar one. The hand-powered "Antikythera mechanism" was retrieved in pieces from a sunken shipwreck in the Aegean sea in 1901, sparking more than a century of research into how this device was made — and why. The box-shaped mechanical computer used gears and dials to track ancient astronomical events such as solar eclipses and the movements of planets. Now, researchers are using cutting-edge work surrounding gravitational waves, which are ripples in spacetime sparked by events like black hole mergers or collisions between stars, to help uncover the mechanics of Antikythera's Ancient Grecian gears. (The device is named after the Greek island near where it was found.)

@George-K Thanks George

Still not letting the old man in, I see.

Reminds me of this product I recently saw. It's a wireless propane level detector, using sonar or something to figure out how full your tank is. People said once they started using it they quickly saw how the tank refills were usually 10-25% lower than expected. https://a.co/d/0bGfQnbr

@LuFins-Dad said in Hay Tom-K!: I post here all the time and get no love :couplekiss:

I meant that when the candidate finished speaking, they could say, "President X, you just said that scientists said the moon was made of green cheese. Missions to the moon have proven that incorrect" (But, i did not see the debate, and I dont know if the format would have allowed the moderators to get more feedback on their statements. I am not sure I agree that there was no cross checking on the candidates.)

@Mik said in Democrats Behaving Like Republicans: I think they just gave him the meds too late. What a sad comment. We have to hop up our president so that he can participate in a debate. Perhaps will be able to delay any crisis while meds kick in. Of course, that begs the question. Who is really running the country? Hunter?

@George-K said in ED Abortions: What is an "emergency abortion? When it absolutely, positively, has to get be (out of) there overnight.

I'm not sure what the answer is. Destruction at the ballot box?

I guess he needed time off from self-righteously fighting The Man, so instead he had a somewhat less righteous go at The Woman.

@Mik said in Migrants?: . You must have been headed down Ohio to catch the Ryan south. Nope - St. Clair to Grand to Lower Wacker, to the Ike. I don't live too far south, about 3500.
