  1. I think that the exact size of this asteroid is still not known well, so we don't know how much of an impact it will make yet. The estimates are based on how bright the asteroid is, and then if you assume that it is made of stuff that is of 'average brightness', then you can figure out how big the asteroid must be to be as bright as it is. The problem, is that there is no certainty that it is made of average material, so it could be smaller (good) or larger (bad) than the estimates. I think the JWST observations are expected to improve this measurement as well.
  2. They are going to track it with the James Webb Space Telescope to get a better measurement of its exact orbit. The reason that the probability is not either 0% or 100% is because the orbit is not known precisely enough. Whether it will hit or not is already completely determined, we just don't know the answer yet. But a very good orbit determination will hopefully settle it.
  3. Jalen Hurts scored 3 two years ago, that was the first.
  4. Since USPS is now holding packages from China, how do I get my Temu stuff now???
  5. Even if that part was true, why would you think that would translate at all into wanting to be annexed by a foreign nation?
  6. They already have a zipline, so you could just arrange for his harness to be disconnected, and drop him into the ponds.
  7. I saw somewhere else that it was stopping for fuel in Springfield MO, and the final destination was Tijuana.
  8. Wasn't the ValueJet crash into the Everglades the result of something going wrong with some oxygen cylinders? My memory was that that aircraft was carrying some as cargo, and something went wrong with them.
  9. Well, that would be something good that comes out of this.
  10. https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/vw-van-palisades-fire/ Tis true.
  11. These two links claim it was an SM-2 missile that took the F/A-18 down. https://theaviationist.com/2024/12/22/u-s-super-hornet-shot-down-in-friendly-fire-over-red-sea/ https://armyrecognition.com/news/aerospace-news/2024/analysis-of-friendly-fire-in-todays-military-f-a-18-fighter-jet-incident-and-the-limits-of-modern-technology
  12. Yeah, I can do without this. Its not really good to breathe, and the smoke gets trapped in the stadium bowl. There is usually plenty of incidental smoke from fireworks already. I do really like the colored lighting that we can do now. The orange looks really weird, being the opposite of green, but it seems disorienting so its a good thing to inflict on our opponents.
  13. The concourse does get dangerously crowded, they do need to do something about that. It seemed extra bad this game. The concourses have not been expanded for forever but there are more seats and there is more stuff in the concourse blocking the way and it gets impossible to move. That bathroom does have issues, it also had standing water like that after the Florida game. I had not noticed it being extra nasty before this season. Dabo as Grinch was great, as was the disclaimer before the Clemson video. Too bad they didn't find any highlights of Clemson vs OU or A&M or they could have got a cheer, that would have been funny.
  14. Are we sure the weapon was a phalanx? I have not seen that reported anywhere but here (yet).
