The original question was why solar systems and galaxies are in planes, and your explanation is wrong.

What do you even mean by similar orbits? Most orbits are circular for a totally different reason, and that is tidal interactions.

I hate to be that guy, but this is wrong.

The solar system is mostly in one plane because it formed from a cloud of gas. The cloud of a gas has some total non zero rotation and as the cloud collapses interactions flatten the cloud into a disk, where all of the planets formed.

This same principle applies to galaxies.

. 5% in a swing state is not nothing, could very much make the election in a state like Pennsylvania.

I'm a bit surprised at a lot of the criticisms for the movies here, and I say this as a huge fan of the Dune novels too.

Villeneuve has a particular film style like blade runner 2049, and Arrival.

If you don't like his style you won't like the 2nd movie.

But on the other hand part 1 sets the stage for everything that happens in part 2, and overall I think it is an excellent adaption. Dune is not an easy book to adapt to film, and some changes had to be made, but they're aren't any glaring changes that make me go "why the hell did you change it that way?"

It's extremely faithful to the book, and in cases where it's not, I can see the reasoning for the change.

People didn't buy the last mini, so why would Apple do it again?

Closest in the united States is a chevy bolt, but that's still pretty far.

I'd love a fairly dumb ev. Give me just enough computer for battery/charging management and let me do the rest.

Have you tried freezing it?

Refrigerating baked goods accelerates staleness, but most baked goods freeze well.

I think at that point I'd mail a certified letter and cancel whatever card it's on.

That probably wouldn't work but one can dream.

I just want to know when it's going start being fun.

I have documented ancestry of Choctaw, card and everything, but my genetic test show 0%. The blood amount is quite low at 1/128

This could be because of the way genes work, roll the dice enough time and there are no genes left. On the other hand many Native Americans are not keen on giving away genetic data after their history with the US.

I'm not saying you are or aren't part native American, but genetic tests are limited.

My eyes hurt, and I had eclipse glasses, and a solar filter on my telescope. Lots of these are probably just eyestrain.

So much of that freight should be moved by rail.

Tax based on weight to 4th power would work if we nationalized railways like roads.

I have noticed that its much more difficult when you get a lot of the new mobs.

The corrupter is a pain to fight on uneven terrain, which is most caves.

The septic spitter creates painful hazards, but is at least easy to identify and kill.

I've seen the stingtail down so many people by moving them out of position repeatedly, so I've found i need to protect teamates it's targeting.

I love the jet boots, especially as gunner, but even as scout its useful. I just wish I'd see them more.
