I was hoping I could ask for some advice guys.
So, whenever I am out exploring the Galaxy, I keep forgetting my cell phone back on Neptune. It’s never any of the other 9 planets of the solar system. Always Neptune. This happens no matter if I keep it in my pocket or my space bicycle. Do you have any idea how hard it is to find an iPhone in the depths of an ice giant like Neptune?
And don’t even get me started on the sun. I lent it some sun screen so it didn’t burn and I never got it back.
Basically how do i go about taking over everything within a 90 parsec perimeter?

@Princess of Bolts ⚡🔥⚡ Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and the ferryman of the underworld. Everyone knows Pluto is really a planet but it’s undercover As a dwarf planet Trying to bust up a planetesimal fraud ring.
@Pastel Heart Thank goodness I am not the only one. I sometimes dance in the sulfuric acid rain on Venus. It stings a bit but that just means it’s working.
@Samurai Equine 🔥🔥 I am not on speaking terms with Proxima Centauri either. He’s a bit of a dim bulb but his anger tends to FLARE up sometimes. I think he’s just angry because he is so small. As for the space bicycle I got it from Walmart. The helmet is harder to come by though.

@Yoshi89 I understand that, but when he said other 9, that means that he was referencing 10 planets total. So I was wondering what the 10th one was (if Pluto is the 9th)
-
@Princess of Bolts ⚡🔥⚡ the 10th planet is the moon.

I didn’t know Michael Weston was a real actor!

Alright, let's unmask the last question:
In cards, the “dead man’s hand” was named after who of the following?
A. “Wild Bill” Hickok
B. Calamity Jane
C. Annie Oakley
D. “Buffalo Bill” Cody
The answer was...
SpoilerA! Born James Butler Hickok in 1837, he earned the nickname of "Wild Bill" for his physical appearance. Hickok was known for his moustache and his tall, imposing figure. He was the central figure of many a myth, some outlandish about his lethality and efficiency with a gun. Hickok was known as a soldier, scout, lawmen, gambler, and actor. In 1876, Wild Bill was shot in the back of the head by a man who he'd played cards with the night prior, Jack McCall. The hand he died holding (aces and eights, with an unverified hole card) at the time of his death became known as the "dead man's hand."
Now for today's question:
You guys remember that musician? I'm blanking on this one- I know he's one of the following guys, but which one...
He popularized this fusion of folk, rock, soul, rhythm and blues music.
You know who I'm talking about, right? He called it "Cosmic American Music".He went to Harvard for like one semester, then got bored and left?
Come on, he had to all but take care of his mother when his father committed suicide two days before Christmas when he was a kid?
...Got hooked on drugs and overdosed in 1973?
Yeah, that guy! What's his name again?
A. Duane Allman
B. John Paul Larkin
C. Gram Parsons
D. Ronnie Van Zant

@Yoshi89 Are you sure? I'm not completely confident in my answer. The results might be less sweet and more sour.

You know what sucks? When you get sick and can't take off of work because they will write you up/fire you for it. Or just order you in.

I currently live at my father's. If i quit without something else lined up i will end up on the streets and i currently cannot afford an apartment.
The problem is that the office is run like a pseudo military dictatorship. New blood gets no sick leave and mandatory overtime- you can't say no when they have more work for you. Had plans already? Tough.
The problem with that argument is this: The Post Office forbids you to run. If they catch you running you'll be written up. If you fall down you're written up. Go too slow? Written up. Nearly killed by some weird disease? They will write you up unless you provide a doctor's note for every single absence.
All of this is true by the way. One clerk nearly died in march. She had a fever of like 107 and they called her two days later and ordered her in. The doctor belayed the order, and rhey told her they want a note for every day she is out.

I fail to comprehend the concept of Mandatory Overtime. I show up, I obey, you pay.
You know, companies are actually terrified these days of wrongful termination. Every place I seen, they dance around even mentioning the word “Fired.” Perhaps not the government so much, but I do doubt any company wants you swinging around claims of Discrimination. You get injured from what THEY ordered... you have right to compensation. And, if I recall right, lawyers get paid through the money you win, so there’s always somebeing chomping at the bits to aid you.
Every place gots a “Human Resources” & I doubt that’s entirely just for employees sake.

My buddy who I used to shoot a comedic series with no longer wants to be a part of that series. He is the main focus of it. He says it’s because nobody watches.
I thought we were shooting because it was fun to do, not to please our legions of 2 viewers. Disappointing.

I keep a list at home. It’s one of the only consistent things in my life. And all I keep on the list are words that I would never ever use in a story. “Spoopy” is one of them.

Now every shift i had next week scheduled is gone. Why is this happening to me?

There’s no point in any of this...
SpoilerLiterally. Can you find a single point in this circle?

Sometimes I like to investigate some of the things I heard as a kid. Whether they’re facts I thought I heard or just secrets in video games I am remembering. And it’s for some reason always amazing to me when I find something that I was right about. Something that really is true. I don’t know why that is.
You’re really good at explaining these things to me. If I have a teacher do it all I get is “Oh it’s very simple to figure out. All you have to do is take the smaller of the two numbers and square it after you triangulate the hypotenuse from the third side...” But you’re describing this in a way that I can comprehend this early in the morning. That’s impressive, given at this time I usually can’t figure out how to leave my bed.
Can you tell me about the golden ratio? What exactly is the number, if there is one? What does it do? I heard it was 1.618 many years ago. But don’t remember for sure.
I intend to live forever. So far, so good!
-
You have a very good memory for things from so long ago! The golden ratio is indeed 1.618 to 3 decimal places. More precisely, it's (1+sqrt(5))/2, or the ratio of two lengths A and B such that the ratio of A and B equals the ratio of A and A+B (the two parts are to each other as the larger part is to the whole, in more archaic phrasing). It was considered to be a very aesthetic and beautiful length in classical art, and shows up in nature reasonably commonly due to being closely related to the Fibonacci sequence (the ratio of consecutive Fibonacci numbers gets closer to it as the numbers get larger).
Aw, thanks, Tuna, but you can't pin this all on me. Most people start staring into the middle distance as soon as I start talking about geometry let alone dimensionality and fractals. You're at least as fabulous a listener as I am a rambler.

I can remember things like this, I can remember where to find my favorite car in GTA III, I can remember where to find bribes and the mall in Vice City, and how to BLJ in super Mario 64, but half the time I can’t remember our check hold policy at work!
That always fascinated me. How the golden ratio seems to pop up in so many places. Mind, the whole universe is fascinating to me. I only wish I could see other exo planets beyond Space Engine. I understand there’s a mission that is under consideration that is supposed to go to Proxima b, but it’s going to take 20-30 years if it works (it will move around 20% the speed of light I think). Additionally, it’s not scheduled for decades, and it will be another 4.3 years on top of that before we get a signal back. I probably won’t be around to see it sadly.
But at least we have Space Engine!
Are you kidding? I love learning about this stuff. Especially from such an engaging teacher!

Here comes yesterday’s question:
Of the listed stars, which of the following has the longest life expectancy?
A. The Sun
B. Betelgeuse
C. Proxima Centauri
D. R136a1
This was…
SpoilerC. The Sun has about 10-11 billion years total, Betelgeuse has about 10 million years and is due to explode very soon (in astronomical terms), R136a1 has around 3 million years, but as a red dwarf star, Proxima Centauri is expected to live for hundreds of billions to trillions of years.
Here comes today’s question:
The Voyager probes have been in service for just shy of 45 years now. How far away is Voyager 1?
A. 10.86 light minutes
B. 45.3 light years
C. .0050 parsecs
D. 21.5 light hours

A calculation which is off by only a factor of 60 is nothing when it comes to physics xD Actually you are in a good place

Guys guys guys guys guys
I come bearing a gift. A very important one that required much travel. I had to reach the north, where the sky kisses the land and I had to prove I was worthy to the council.
but I got it:

Elon Musk’s “Nuke Mars” campaign as I understand wouldn’t work.
yes it will release co2 into mars’ atmosphere, but the amount released will be insufficient to cause noteworthy warming. Additionally, the atmosphere created would spend the next few years being stripped away by the solar wind. This is because Mars’ magnetic field is very weak, or completely nonfunctional. This was also the reason Mars lost its water in the first place: its core cooled and solidified. A molten core is one of the prerequisites for a functional magnetic field. Without a molten core the magnetic field vanishes, which leaves the planet susceptible to solar radiation. This radiation gradually strips away atmosphere until it is too thin or gone completely and can no longer support liquid water.
So nuking Mars would not accomplish much.

Sigh.
I am really struggling right now. And I have tried everything. From thinking positive to doing things for myself, I have done it and nothing works.
It seems like no matter what I do I will never be able to stop attempting to set stupid idiots on fire with my mind.

Oh God don’t tell me I am like him.
But how come when he does that he gets concerned looks but when I try to set autographs alight with my mind they just say “Sir I need you to make your order so I can get to the rest of the line.”

@Cash In Because just pretending someone doesn’t exist is easier than coming out and saying what needs to be said. That’s 99.99999% of dating nowadays. You’re texted back, called back, invited out as long as you’re still interesting or have something to offer. Once that changes or something becomes even remotely different? Poof.

This is my little buddy from when I was a kid. We were inseparable.
he isn’t smoking anything I promise. That’s a guitar pick one of my favorite guitarists gave me after one of his concerts. I got to meet him.

I just got to work, we don’t open for an hour and there’s already an asshole honking and getting into arguments with the security guard.
today’s looking good.

So bad news. My coworker has tested positive. She is asymptomatic but was at work the last few days and the results came in today. No word yet on if we are closing the branch for quarantine.
They are “deep cleaning” the branch tonight. The cleaners are shit at their jobs though and will probably just half ass it again.

@Samurai Equine I am doing the best I can. But I made a promise to myself that if I get this thing, I’m going to make its existence within me a living hell. There’s a motto I try to live by: What doesn’t kill me had better start running.

I noticed that single person memes on Valentine’s Day either carry on about the being single part or brag about having money. I complain plenty to you guys, and I am broke as hell. So I made myself a $1 million Bill instead.
I know. Looks real right?
Huh. I think I just realized why I am alone.
