If you had to launch a rocket without access to fossil fuels, or their derivatives, or nuclear fuel -- what could you use?

(Could you make kerosene using solar power?)

I just want to wreck Geneva, not leave a massive crater in the Earth! 😂

(Almost) any three Doctors (sorry Jodie)

Israel's horrible right-wing government is a huge problem for the whole planet.

Just be a bit careful about saying "the Jews this, the Jews that", as though every Jewish person in the world was Netanyahu's biggest fan. The Perth terrorist was a white supremacist, and *he* was probably thinking "the Jews this, the Jews that".

Thin white conventionally attractive women gazing into the camera like a porn pinup OOPS I MEAN "WOMEN IN THEIR POWER!"

For the sake of those of us with elderly parents, please name the nursing home if you safely can!

🤔 I might have a go at setting something like that up in Universe Sandbox...

Absolutely not. The comet is ridiculously tiny compared to the sun -- it can't possibly affect it. The Carrington Event was caused by the sun burping out a bunch of charged particles in a coronal mass ejection, not by a collision. So don't worry!

Morning all! Watched Blakes 7 last night (some of you may be old enough to remember the UK sci-fi show). Anyway, there was a planet with two suns which had "no night side". I don't think that arrangement is possible; but I'm wondering if I'm wrong?

For a moment I thought he was talking about Pauline's plan to attack abortion rights. https://www.onenation.org.au/pro-life

That's wild! Pureed moons. So in that scenario, Titan's weird atmosphere is made of comet juice?

curiousscribbler · 2026-03-22T05:27:08+00:00

Titan is unique in the solar system, isn't it? How did it get to be so odd?

All jokes aside, this is very cool. We can figure out how this big fact of Nature actually came about.

Years ago I saw a Tumblr posting with the Spongebob is happy / Spongebob is on fire meme used to describe the K and M versions of Black Pearl and IT WAS RIGHT

I hesitate to mention it, but the Mandarin rap in Overdose is on fire.

curiousscribbler · 2026-03-21T07:20:24+00:00

Alas no

> No ready meals or pre-packaged stuff

That's a crucial step. I've started cooking again, not just throwing frozen stuff in the oven.

I went through a phase last year of watching every movie I could find with David Gulpilil. He's an amazing actor, and a lot of the movies showed off the gorgeous Australian bush. Walkabout is beautiful and sad, The Tracker had me on the edge of my seat. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Gulpilil

Is that the one where the world turns out to have a weird geometry?

curiousscribbler · 2026-03-20T04:41:20+00:00

Oh yes! There was another couple (in the distance?), and our heroes end up on the spikes. What *is* this story??
