I guess the hurdles in 2028 will be piles of their bodies

Don't forget Snoop and Dre performing The Next Episode, released in 2001

Is it just me or did this feel very derivative of the James Bond skit at the opening ceremony of the 2012 London games?

My A button was requiring a harder press for the input to be registered than normal, so I opened up my GBC and noticed this transfer on the PCB. I guess years as a child hard holding A to improve pokemon catch rates had caught up. What's the best way to remove this? Isopropyl alcohol and cotton bud?

This is only going to be considered by the swing voters come the election.

Die hard Trumpers will double down. Die hard Republicans would never vote for a Democrat, so better a felon than a Liberal. Die hard Democrats would never have voted for him anyway.

People who flip between the two parties now have another thing to consider when casting their votes, and only their internal compass will direct them to Trump or Biden

What's crazy about this whole situation is Iran attacked Israel because Israel bombed Iran's embassy in Syria killing a general and 6 others... and governments are telling Iran not to overreact.

Like bruh, how would you react if your embassy was bombed in a 3rd country killing your general and 6 other nationals

I feel sorry for the 2050 Mars colony. They obviously do something so wrong, they are wiped from all historical records, and then those posers in 2070 claim to be the first Mars settlement

Wasn't an admin caught doing something similar last time place came around?

A day on Venus is longer than a year on Venus.

If you start to think about how these lengths of time are defined it becomes clearer.

1 day = time to rotate on it's axis once 1 year = time to complete a full rotation around the sun

For Earth, it takes us ~24hrs to rotate on our axis and 365.25 days to orbit the sun.

However, because Venus' axial rotation is so slow (and another interesting fact, it rotates in the opposite direction to other planets) it actually completes a full orbit of the sun before 1 axial rotation.

Hence, a year is shorter than a day

For those interested:

1 Venus day = 243 earth days 1 Venus year = 225 earth days
