@lakecruser @pickover That's not QR

@3speach3 @CuriosityonX Literally none of them are doing that

[Matt Madden @themattmadden]

@Candace_Ritz @CuriosityonX Which one?

@vajra_diamond @konstructivizm Bro. You can see Andromeda yourself with a cheap telescope from your front porch on a dark moonless night.

@DarrylT11 @Math_files Conservation of momentum, not conservation of velocity. The amount of momentum gained by the probe exactly equals the momentum lost by the planet. Momentum is a combination of mass and velocity. Planets have huge mass, probes have tiny mass.

Today I released the first-ever English translation of classic Khmer novel, "The Rose of Pailin". In paperback and Kindle formats on Amazon; and in Cambodia, the paperback can be found at Monument Books on in Phnom Penh and the Relay travel stores in KTI

@sstrangio Fantastic book.

The cover of the original (left) is one of my favorite book cover photos EVER. So perfect with so many juxtaposed elements capturing a vibe and a time and place: dying Boeng Kak, new Peace Palace, traditional boat, storm, dust, everything. Just <chef's kiss>.

@KhmerUtopia Trapeang Thmar?

@SwampGrox @krassenstein Because it's exactly the kind of good that gets tariffed in reality. If China makes steel more cheaply than the US, the US protects US steel producers' profits by putting tariffs on Chinese steel, which means domestic consumers--you and I--pay more for things with steel in them.

[Matt Madden @themattmadden]

@JacobBaker613 @KellyScaletta @krassenstein That's quite a claim. Serious question: How?

[Matt Madden @themattmadden]

@KhmerUtopia Oh wow. This absolutely made my day. Thank you for passing it along! Where was this posted?

@FAKENEWSCnnCnbc @Moscow_Marge @ryanp131 @acnewsitics My friend. The crowd is nowhere near the plane. Secret Service would not allow it. This image is taken with a telephoto lens from very far away, creating the well-known illusion that they are close together. Watch the video to the end and you'll see the photographer zoom way out

@cbouzy I mean... you all understand that they're not saying "step aside and let the felon be president," but rather "step aside and let someone who can beat the felon run against the felon," right? Please tell me you understand that.

@BrianAllen2217E @jandmplus6 Primaries are about the only context in which official registration really matters. Why would they need to switch back and forth?

@RebekahWriter It's not about you, Rebekah. You're not the one who needed convincing for your goals, values, and best interests to be saved.
