There is/was talk of getting something developed to catch up to Oumuamua (the first visitor we've found). It's much "slower" at 26 km/s. This new one, Atlas is going about the same speed as New Horizons, the fastest probe we've done so far (and that was with numerous gravity boosts, meaning it took time). So yeah, without having something already in space ready and very fast acceleration, this one will be long gone.

Wow, I've been busy with a lot of stuff. That I haven't done. The glory of VPN (that doesn't keep logs) is you're behind the noise of anyone else. Sometimes it's better to not be hidden, but be in the crowded plain sight.

Given the period, there is an unwritten sigh at the beginning. With maybe a presumed pointing at their name that Brian either missed, or doesn't know.

I don't know, man. Can't be anything you did, right?

The best thing to pipe into an observation lounge is the tower/ground frequencies. Watching planes doesn't have to be a Disney experience with a soundtrack.

All I can remember are the few times where he was asked a question along those lines and was completely unable to answer the question.

Unable to answer the question, and blamed the asker for a "nasty question" and some agenda to find fault.

No one has any privacy anymore. And that guy totally got typecast from the very beginning.

It wasn't that hard. Don't ask how I know. 5 cents a minute doesn't seem like a lot even in 80s dollars, but...well, time flies... And it's true, that bill only shows up once a month, by then the damage is done.

The line in the song Creep that hits the hardest is, "I want you to notice, when I'm not around".

The stock market is not the same thing as it was at the start, different players, different motives, and lots of failsafes. That time it was a signal that things were bad, this time we could continue to get worse and you'd never know it looking at the DOW.

I have an older robot vacuum that has finally shown some age in its battery. The charger will charge for about 15 mins and then gets an error, but it's enough to do a decent vacuuming of the room if I charge then vacuum, then repeat once more. I can't leave it on the charger now due to the error repeating, so basically I run it dead until the next time.

So my question is, can I continue doing this since it works well enough, or is there potential problems/danger with the battery being at less capacity? I could buy a new battery, they aren't terrible in price, but if it works and is safe, why not continue what I'm doing until it completely gives out?
