@aaronmhedlund @Andrewnsnyder Pretty sure Lewis was riffing a bit on Milton too

It seems the mantle is more heterogeneous (hence, more interesting) than expected, due to less-than-complete convection

This finding is unexpected because the plate tectonic regime of our planet progressively recycles crustal material via large-scale mantle convection ...

The inability of ppl to engage any topic thoughtfully never ceases to amaze: "You have a slightly different view than me? We'll, I'll show my rational superiority with hysterical ad hominems and straw men arguments to demonstrate what an utter fool you are!"

I suppose I reluctantly agree with something like Augustine's Just War theory in extreme cases, perhaps defending invasion or defending your family. But as I've grown older and as a dad (who has lost little ones) I just see sons and daughters going off to die senseless deaths.

Why are we still using end notes? Citations should appear at bottom of page like God intended. (Academic reading is enough work without all the page-flipping).

@NESeminary Streamed anywhere or in person only?

@drantbradley I love this rant!

Haha, great description of the 3rd book of the Pentateuch (Crouch, "Culture Making" p.128.)

@DJSnM Not very forgiving terrain, either

@GunsAndRockets1 @torybruno @OGridPete @Space_Strategy Apollo astros were a different breed. New folks probably don't want to poop in ziplock bags, understandably. Also 30 day Artemis missions instead of Apollo's one week.

@BellikOzan Also hypothetical lunar Dragon wld need beefier heat shield for faster reentry, no?

@EarthFall10 @LCS_Big_Mike Good point. Not trying to be cantankerous--orig. question is good. But cannot think of single fixed reference point over this amount of time. Lat/long is tied to specific points on current map in combo w/ equator, which in turn is derivative of poles. EVERYTHING has moved.

Shameful.

Hattie McDaniel accepted her Oscar at a segregated "No Blacks" hotel in Los Angeles for her role in "Gone with the Wind." She made history as the first Black American to win an Oscar. Sadly, all of the film's Black actors, including McDaniel, were prohibited from attending the film's premiere in 1939 at the Loew's Grand Theatre in Atlanta, Georgia. Clark Gable, one of the film's stars, refused to attend if Hattie wasn't allowed, but she convinced him to go without her. Even though McDaniel was eventually allowed into the hotel, she had to be escorted and was relegated to the back of the room, separated from her white co-stars.

@DerekdotSpace Yeah. I'm giving this platform a few months to figure this out. It's annoying

@smartereveryday @matthew_d_green There are, but you're probably too polite to say them

Not fast enough with the phone camera but pretty sure I just saw smoke trail from a #missilelaunch southeast of San Diego. #USNavy
