My least favorite is a brown torso that breaks when you change the arms. I forgot old brown was so brittle, and felt really bad that I broke a nice chest piece. Light green Bionicle bones for the same reason, you can’t build with them much before they break.
We make a lot of sausage in meetings. Brainstorm ideas and figure out what the challenges will be. Having all five or six people there at once is much more efficient than taking back the forth to each one individually.
There are status update meetings, but those are so other people know what you’re doing so if it effects them they can work with it.
It’d need to be 13 to 80 times more massive to be a brown dwarf.

If it gained mass rapidly, most all the moons would likely destabilize since they’d have way too little velocity for the orbit they’d now be in. But if they sped up to accommodate, it’d depend on the density change of Jupiter. The fusion would push out material a bit, but the density would probably just increase because of the increased mass.
But if the density stayed the same, the radius would be 2.4 to 4.3 times larger than currently. With Jupiter having a radius of 70,000 km, that’d put it at 170,000 to 300,000 km radius. That’d put Metis and Adrastea inside 170, and Amalthea and Thebe inside 300. They’d already be heavily inside the jovian atmosphere, so they’d be toast. Io, Europa, and maybe others might also fall due to higher atmospheric drag at those levels.

I think the rest of the moons would be planets then, and the solar system would be a binary system.

Also spicy pillows and old west jail breaks!
I think legends handled it okay, that the battle of yavin was the tipping point, but the empire still had remnants that needed to be countered by the New Republic. And the New Republic has its own problems, but faces an entirely different threat than the empire too.
Whereas with the new movies, they just hit the reset button back to episode four, rather than developing on the trajectory in interesting ways, which would have given Luke’s actions and the original trilogy more weight.
Star wars a new hope started out with Luke as an everyman. But since then it’s all become about the bloodline. Rise of Skywalker is especially bad, tearing down the anyone can be special and saying you can only be special because of your bloodline.
Okay cool, I thought they were ordering online and pre paying.
I thought they’d be ordering online and paying in advance. But if not, sounds okay
Probably more effective to give to a food pantry to avoid the corporate profit cut, but the thought is very nice.
At least download the video beforehand to avoid interruptions.
Yup, free market only incentives competition when it’s actually free. Demand monopolys are just as bad as supply ones.
My friends with a lot of kids got a used airport limousine. I guess it was cheaper than an express van at the time. That was pretty cool and unique.
I used my mom’s graphing calculator without issue.
You only need a graphing calculator because you’re not allowed to use wolfram alpha, desmos, or Matlab. Since you’re mandated to use graphing calculators, (sometimes even specific models) there’s no incentive to make them cheaper or better since you need to buy them anyway.
Median income or ihdi are much better indicators of people’s well-being.

The economy/gdp is just a measure of how much stuff you are making, not who is getting it.
No they fired him, but he’s staying on till they find a replacement. (He did get millions of dollars to boot though)
Remember, refineries are the bottleneck not the wells and pipelines. So targeting it all on refineries has the highest impact to production.
Donating to United24 hopefully helps if you can’t volunteer yourself. Does anyone have info on how to donate to Ukraine anti oil more specifically?
