Probably one of the least flashy accessories, but I bought a 10 foot long USB-C cable that lets me sit anywhere on the sofa and play without battery anxiety.

The man can get his country into NATO, I’d say he has earned his retirement.

Doesn’t explain how Tilly attended Musk Junior High School, though.

The FAA had to activate a contingency plan, a Debris Response Area, after the explosion. Instead of one rocket, you have an expanding cloud of debris that takes varying time to descend. Some planes had to enter a holding pattern to stay out of the area, while others delayed takeoff.

This the same SpaceX that caused multiple airliners to divert after their rocket exploded and rained debris onto active flight corridors?

Surprised no one’s brought up Futurama yet.

I don’t know if Mr Rodger’s was shot on film or video, but either way, the flame was glowing in a wavelength the camera couldn’t pick up. Either it was a color that the chemicals in the film don’t react too or it’s not something the electronic sensors were sensitive too. Probably a high frequency violet bordering on ultraviolet. TV cameras are optimized to record the frequencies of light the human eye can see, making allowances for cost & technological capabilities. They may not work the way you’d expect as red fades to infrared or violet goes towards ultraviolet, especially when using 70’s or 80’s TV cameras in the price range of PBS.

Everyone assumes Canada is super liberal country just because of universal healthcare. They forget that Alberta is basically snowy Texas, and the other prairie provinces have more in common with the Midwest than New York.

This takes me back. This is, what, an iPhone 4s, at the latest, with the shorter screen?

It’s fine, it’s not like he’s going to be disappointed if she makes him sleep on the couch.
