Nasa mission lines up to 'touch the Sun'
This is really cool, but it feels kind of insulting to call this equivalent to landing people on the moon in 1969. To bring humans to the moon and back alive and healthy, with 1960s computer tech, seems a much more significant feat. Plus the huge risk that astronauts took, made very real by preceding and subsequent deaths and close-calls. Sounds like this will be an important accomplishment and undoubtedly technically difficult, and the speed record part is particularly cool. Howevert it's ultimately still an unmanned probe, which seems incomparable to a manned mission imo.

Why not go with a nice traditional name like Methany or Merimeth?

Surf Dracula®
It shows 5 mins of surfing if you're lucky. More likely it shows him about to drop into his first big wave with cheering in the background, then fades to black

I think this is what makes for an interesting villain in general though across all media. That uncomfortable feeling of relating to them or seeing they have a point even though their actions are clearly reprehensible

ByteDance won't sell TikTok, would rather pull it from the US
Reply in thread
I'd think the fact they've saturated the US market is exactly why it'd be too valuable to give up. They'd lose a ton of revenue, tanking their valuation. They may be better off selling. From there they could prob just clone it and promote a competing service in those unclaimed markets using a portion of the extra sale price they get for maintaining (and selling a product with) US market dominance

Pythagorean Theorem Found On Clay Tablet 1,000 Years Older Than Pythagoras
Reply in thread
According to the article, the theorem was named for him out of respect for starting a school-society thing whose members in turn developed & popularized the theorem. So you should perhaps have at least some doubt

Listening to the song all the way through can often be a cure for this. Just passing on something I read online and tried successfully after this driving me crazy many times. Apparently if you listen to part of a song without finishing it sometimes that can trigger a part of the song playing over and over in your head

Yeah that's shitty, but he has abundant free time to go make more money elsewhere if he wants. I don't know anyone who can meet their basic needs on 25 hrs/wk without some sort of high-skill career experience or extenuating circumstances like nepotism, etc. I don't think that qualifies as trapped

It's also 8 hrs/day she doesn't have random sweaty fat guys dumping loads in her. Anyone who doesn't take that deal is either Ayn Rand level deranged or has beaten life and found their true passion
