Hey AI granny: we don’t look down at you because of your Bible, we look down at you because you act AGAINST the core teachings of the Gospels, such as “love thy neighbor”, yet you insist on cherry-picking ‘n’ thumping over our heads a book whose teachings you don’t understand and if you did, you would REFUSE to follow them… like you already don’t now, and haven’t for your entire goddamned life.
Eggs Benedict. With cracked pepper and a few drops of Tabasco. Like a steel or oil baron.
Don’t do it, buddy! They may look like the last digits of Pi because of all those zeroes that follow, but it’s just a really long string of zeroes that starts up with random digits again after a while!
Little known fact: it was the powdered wigs, not the prism.
I think that might have been a fluke, a cosmic ray hitting the processor at the exact right moment.
It’s like I stood across the fifty foot-long table, through the two inch-thick glass, and peered into his soul.
Yo vivir en Mexico y conozco la biblioteca, por favor.
How many times do I have to say it people, jeez… you’re only in danger of becoming a worm if you have sandtrout. Once past that stage, they cannot stick to your skin.
To get near Antarctica while sailing south, you have to first cross what seems like a wide barrier of perpetually stormy seas with huge rogue waves.
In fact, it was in one of these storms that veered more north than usual, that a sailing vessel - can’t remember if it was British, Dutch or Portuguese - got picked up, then tossed and turned for days, and once it was finally over, the crew found themselves in extremely cold seas, very similar to those at northern latitudes.

Sure, why not, the visible horizon extends equally in all directions, 46.5 billion light years in every direction.
We get the energy from fission. To put two hydrogens together to turn it into one helium is the very definition of fusion.
Separate but related: among the many mind-blowing astronomical discoveries of the past decade or two, kilonovas are in the short list for most spectacular.
Imagine two tiny neutron stars plowing into each other, all those densely packed neutrons suddenly and with great force being clumped together into super heavy elements, creating a spiral spray of silver, gold, platinum, uranium nuclei, but just the neutrons.
With time, some of these neutrons decay into protons, or absorb whatever hydrogen atoms they encounter along their path - a proton and an electron - along with whatever random free electrons may also be around, floating freely in space.
Eventually you’ll get the full atoms. Some of that bounty got caught in the gravity well of the gas and dust nebula that collapsed into our solar system.
And that’s how the universe created the silver, gold, titanium, uranium, etc, that is in our planet today.
The view from those living rooms. The proverbial “million dollar view”.
Real estate prices must be insane, but I imagine utilities at Avalon must also be ridiculously expensive, everything having to cross something like 30 miles of ocean. Grocery store prices, milk and beer and the like, all ferried in from the mainland.
AMC Mountain High, with CBD Jujyfruits and Indica Caramel Popcorn!
You can see how incredibly easy it is to spread disinformation, counting on the overwhelming information bombardment to do no fact-checking and have us act - or not act at all - against our own best interests. By which I mean this sort of thing:

Or a door ajar and a standing fan just outside, facing out, keeping the air flowing out of the bedroom.
I can see a class action lawsuit if they ever switch to that. And I imagine there wouldn’t be that risk if airlines had priced their tickets based on weight from the very start back in the Roaring Twenties.
Water from the Sierra Nevada, probably.
They same the same about New York tap water, which comes from the Catskill Mountains a little bit upstate.
Ditto on both checkmarks.
Also a white noise fan on.
So that’s how places like Mont Saint-Michel and Labrador become notable for their tides. I didn’t know about Northwestern Australia, though. And I have been to the one at the northern portion of the Sea Of Cortez.
It was quite a sight and outta sight, we were camping at the beach in Puertecitos, about a three or four hour drive south of Mexicali. The sands were dark and it was a New Moon night, pitch-black all around including the ground as I walked seaward during low tide, everyone else was already asleep. It was a little bit scary but I pushed on. My eyes had lost the horizon in a completely flat landscape, except for a barely perceptible ghostly sea glow from afar.
Quite unknowingly, step by accidental step and being at the exact time and place, I had stumbled into an extraordinary, disorienting and thrilling environment of sensory deprivation except for gravity.
