    Uranus is also one of just two planets that rotate in the opposite direction than most of the planets (Venus is the other one), from east to west.

    That's why Venus' years are shorter than its days.

    Why does that follow?

    It doesn't have to, but the two are likely related. Something likely hit Venus back in the long ago to change its rotation. It's a theory supported by evidence but no it's not proven.

        Technically, that's known as a prolapse.

            That's mildly terrifying. But the difference between the burger and the picture is well proven.

              I guess we can start thanking people posting photographs of their food on social media. There you probably still have higher probability of seeing photographs of real food as served rather than fake food as photographed by professional photographers.

                            @jon-nyc that's mildly interesting. Its orbital period is 249.94 earth-years.

                                  @jon-nyc I could've used something like that when I was working.

                                  Our place, for a while, used a hand-scanner that detected the veins for the purpose of ID.

                                        Yeah I could hear whichever I decided. Though sometimes it would take a couple of efforts to ‘switch’.

                                          @jon-nyc I want to know the frequency range and noise profile for this; like what frequencies they need to filter out, then what noise they need to mix in, to get that resulting sound clip.
