  • The rings are, in cosmic terms, exceedingly temporary. We're lucky to have lived at the same time as them.

  • Selections from Wikipedia, for others who may find it interesting:

    Daphnis's eccentricity causes its distance from Saturn to vary by ~9 km (5.6 mi), and its inclination causes it to move up and down by ~17 km (11 mi).

    As it orbits, it creates gravitational ripples on the edges of the Keeler gap as ring particles are attracted toward the moon and then fall back down toward the ring. The waves made by the moon in the inner edge of the gap precede it in orbit, while those on the outer edge lag behind it, due to the differences in relative orbital speed. In a photograph taken on January 18, 2017, a tendril of ring particles can be seen to extend toward the moon; according to JPL, "this may have resulted from a moment when Daphnis drew a packet of material out of the ring, and now that packet is spreading itself out."

    Also, it little resembles any moon I have seen. It is more akin to a fat grain of rice.

  • Yeah, just don't use it too often. And avoid using it from cans, BPA-free usually means they used BPS instead

  • How will the chuds, gooners and snobs who fansplains in pedantic verbosity over a Sci fi movie misconception respond with trying to think of anything clever to say now?

  • I don't even think there should be a stock market, or companies not owned by the employees. Hell, I might have enough of these to get a bedtime Arya Stark chant going.

  • He sure does seem firmly intent on creating a shortage of low-earning labour. Probably nothing to unpack there!

    This applies to both of them too. They weren't elected for being smart, they both are smart but they leaned on charisma, speaking skills, and a sense of 'genuineness' to win their supporters' favour. I really meant it. People simply do not get elected for seeming smart, and if they are smart they won't try to sound smart while running for office in America.

    I was fond of Obama when I was younger, but I look back with disdain on a lot of his track record. He sold people hope, and people look back on the time before Trump with understandably rosy glasses though, so I don't begrudge anyone liking him.

  • I've had good success buying second hand on eBay, but I bet you could also do worse than getting used parts off Gumtree, look for anyone selling a broken or outdated computer - or in the free section - and spend some time going through a pile of ewaste, shucking all the drives, and then running tests on them.
