Like this one where the sun momentarily became a magnetar, which magnetized Mercury and flight it at the Earth.

Flung it *

right, because Mercury is made of metal

And they sent rocket ships to go get it or something.

I was so mad when they started ruining sci-fi

I actually really like this Canadian channel now called Space

they have been making some really good original sci-fi shows, that Syfy usually picks up for showing in the US

I'm just glad there is a Star trek series now

Even if they did screw up the klingons a bit

Remember when 43" was a really big tv

I've never kept track

I remember when 17" was big

morning

I'm so bored I feel like hand soldering a BGA would be fun...

what's a BGA?

Ball Grid Array, it's where all of the pins of a chip are in a grid on the bottom side of the chip instead of the outer edges

you ARE bored.

Either you use hot air, bake, or create a via grid to hand solder them one by one...

stick it in the oven.. with cookies. for the neighbours you don't like. those things can't be healthy

Eh, I've breathed enough flux smoke I'll probably die of cancer... if the cigarette smoking doesn't do it.

it's a toss up.

According to the state of California... I'll get cancer from my garden hose too

I have to go...

well you shouldn't have waterd the plants then... which probably also give you cancer..

'they' have created a wikipedia page for Katie Bouman

its only a few days old

doesn't even have an accurate date of birth on it

It also says it wasn't her algorithm that was used in the end, but I can't find any evidence that it's true

Why are people so dense when it comes to a basic understanding of math...

I want to beat my head on my desk

Have to love that fake narrative "94-98% of rape allegations are legitimate"

And when you bring up that that's not true they say "well, murder has very few false accusations" and wow. They don't get that you basically need a body to prove a murder. Lol

i really don't get the number of false rape accusations. i mean, the judicial system has always been on a "innocent until proven guilty" basis, yet there seem to be a lot of men that go to prison without having done anything. wtf how can you have proof of something that didn't happen

do you mean people that are held for long periods or people that are convicted falsely

most violent offenses (which rape is considered) are held in prison until they go through court

i was talking about wrongful convictions, but the power to send a man to prison until the court date by just going to the police is also a bit much imo

its meant to be for public safety

yeah, i get that, but there should be some verifications don't you think?
