I shot the Eclipse on 35mm film.
Is everything that the fact sphere says true in the Portal universe?
Did Abraham Lincoln free the slaves while sleepwalking?
What if this was how 9/11 actually happened?
This being revealed to the public on the 18th of January 2010, the date xkcd 690 came out.
The Earth is not 1 AU from the Sun
It is currently 1.016 AU from the Sun (as of time of writing)
if a TNO larger than Mercury were to be found would the IAU consider updating their definition of a planet?
Let's say a planetary body similar to Ganymede were found orbiting the Sun between 50 and 250 AU. Would this be enough to sway the IAU into holding another vote?
What about if it were slightly more massive than Mercury? This would make it a little larger than Mars assuming a similar density to Eris.
EDIT: To be clear I am not asking if it would meet the current definition of a planet. I am asking if the discovery of a planetary body larger than Mercury or Mars in the Scattered Disc would motivate the IAU to reconsider the current definition.
If I hand in my 4 weeks notice now can I still go to an interview at another sainsbury's store?
I booked the interview last week and it's scheduled for between when I'd hand in my notice and before when I have my last shift. Will this cause the interview to be cancelled? I understand it may affect my chances in the interview. I want out of my current position so I intend to hand it in regardless.
The moon is a planet
As per the geophysical definition of a planet, any celestial body that is in hydrostatic equilibrium and is not a star qualifies as a planet. The moon specifically being a satellite planet or moon.
Can't use Wplace with chunk downloader.
I installed a Wplace Chunk Downloader alongside Greasemonkey and know Wplace is acting as if I don't have an internet connection. If I disable Greasemoney it works again so it's definitely not a problem with my internet connection. How do I solve this?
If there were an exact duplicate of the solar system 100 light years away what would we know about with with current exoplanet science?
What if the planets transited or not? Would human activity be noticeable? How would it differ if humans didn't exist on the duplicate?
Is it normal to not receive the night shift bonus on Paid Time Off?
I searched it on Google and the ai said it was illegal. However I understand it's not exactly reliable. Should I contact HR?
Most tracks I've seen on a 78
Standard 10 inch shellac record with 6 tracks.
Dreamt cans of soda played prerecorded music when you drank them.
As you drank the drink the music would play directly in your head like you were listening with headphones. The sound was actually coming from the beverage itself.
I remember wondering how the sound didn't get mixed up by the beverage getting jostled. I ended up watching a video by Vox which started by saying regular silent soda was improved by recorded audio sourced from wax cylinders starting around 1910. They then asked the question "but how does the sound not get mixed up from being jostled?" And presumably they were going to answer this but at that point I switched to a Tom Scott video.
In the Tom Scott video, which was formated like his road trip around Britain series, I remember he said these exact sentences: " Quite possibly the most British song I've ever heard." And "The Xylophone literally sounds like it's inside your head". I think he was listening to a genuine vintage one from the 1910s.
I drank one of them and all it was awesome.
Also there were pieces of laminated card about the size of a bank note which functioned exactly like CDs. They were simply a kind of CD that existed.
Are these safe to drink?
