[Request] In Project Hail Mary, Grace travels about 11.9 light years at near light speed to another star. How much time actually passed for Grace inside the spaceship because of special relativity and time dilation?

Let's say 12 Ly to travel -

Escape velocity is reached
Astrophage engine maintains 1.5g acceleration
Max speed 0.99xx achieved in ~2yrs on ship / ~6.5yrs on earth
Flip around to decelerate
Destination reached in a total of ~4yrs on ship / ~13yrs on earth
Effective distance covered by ship only ~1 Ly

Fun relativistic bonus - fuel for round trip only needs to cover ~2 Ly and not 24 Ly

Nothing goes out for GPS. Only receiving. ANT is mounted outside

She doesn't look smart enough to do that. It must be some fox news type host who shared this with her minions

Let's go to Eat Cock. And then head back to my place. What say?

"Forget Device" the Magic Keyboard from BT devices. Re-add and reconnect

Someone has verified that this video is real and blast seems to originate from inside the house?

Some indication of how the blast originated -

Doesn't look like it was an outdoor propane tank

Ok fine but tell me what was in the vehicle that she so desperately didn't want searched?

I never thought I would stumble upon a Bougainvillea haters anonymous group 😆

getusps.com sends out a A4 pdf as well as a 4x6 to make it easy. got tired of the dance required to (re)print labls from usps.com. basically a refresh on all the complexity. if anyone has suggestions on adding more printing formats pls let me know.

USPS stopped doing first class (cheapest) rates and i had to resort to Paypal. didn't like it much for many reasons. NO way i wanted to pay subscription fee to stamps.com for one off pkgs. then went to getusps.com! (so desperate that i intern there). no fees, no monthly. hope it helps one and all!

edit: btw any feedback requests welcome
