Explanations for lunar and solar eclipses get silly too. Mercury and Venus passing in front of the sun is just ignored as it wouldn’t fit between the Earth and the sun.

And the sun should be a little ball above the Earth. Exactly how high and how big is not sure.
the far right never has the answers to economic woes
Indeed. The answers they have are easy, quick and wrong, but a peeved populace stops thinking at quick and easy.
It was a sad period to see one thing that worked so great fragment like this
There is probably a reason those countries all speak Spanish or Portugese.
Yeah, they really wanted to rule them all
We have that opportunity too. You can opt to not accept the proposed (automated) settlement, and challenge the citation itself. People have done that and won. However, administrative fees for that are often higher that the proposed settlement so it’s only worth it in special cases.
I thought the laws in the USA prevented this. It’s why you have manned speed traps because citations must be handed over personally to the driver while other countries have automated speed check systems and send the ticket to the owner of the car, and that can be a leasing company for example.
To demonstrate how mind boggling huge space actually is.
I like the demo where the guy puts a pea for the sun on the ground, a tiny dot for Earth and then drives out of state to put down a radish seed to display Proxima Centauri to scale. It shows those trillions of kilometers nicely.
Modern propane tanks are too well designed to be unsafe.
People like in the picture are the reason for that
Best comment ever was “It used to work like this but person at client demanded it work like that on this date” when the client complained it shouldn’t work like that.
Not to mention the sun setting and rising, timezones, the sun being visible for six months from north and south pole, lunar and solar eclipses that can only be explained with pretzel like reasoning and so on.
You have the mad max dystopia, the star trek utopia, and humanity is doomed to forever waddle in the middle between these two opposites. “Kinda sucks” indeed.
Hey, you can actually buy flying cars. They’re at least 10x as expensive as a regular car so not affordable to buy for anyone, need a pilot license and usually a short runway. In other words, flying cars turned out to be just as crappy as artificial intelligence.
I know of one, PAL-V, that is a flying car that is street legal and can be ordered right now. It’s 500 grand and needs a pilot license. Those flying cars are not for the poor.
That’s Putin’s doing. His bluff was strong and he had a big pile of material, so the West is using a Russia technique known as the salami slice method, by slowly escalating and gauging the reaction from Putin. It means no world war 3 scenario, no allies that have to come to his defense and also not letting Putin taking whatever he wants with just bluff and threatening speeches. It is costly in lives and material though.
For even more fun, add in the children of Gaza wanting to escalate upward in the same way as Israel did and Iran becoming a nuclear power. If those two things ever combine things can get very ugly.
You don’t want to stop a war of your job and status depend on that war continuing
Meanwhile EV manufacturers want to remove AM radio because electromotors can interfere with AM radio if improperly shielded. They figured it was cheaper to remove the radio than to provide proper EM shielding. That’s the same people who would be in control of radioactivity shielding. It just fills me with confidence.
