Yes hans gudergast aka Eric braeden was in that cautionary tale as well as in escape from the planet of the apes as dr. Hasline (who developed the interstellar drive)

[sbwaters]

That Lizzy Warren pic of her sucking on a beer bottle tweaks a memory of a Firesign Theater where one of the players says in an aside that she could suck the chrome off a trailer hitch.

[Extraneus]

In fact, that is how it formed. From little bits of space junk spiraling around in no gravit, hitting each other, cohesing, and finaly developing over a billion or more years a structure like you see as Ultima Thule.

They hit each other fast enough to form craters, but join at 1 mph?

[Pinandpuller]

So I think we should think of New Horizons as a Time Machine, a way back machine, that we set to time Zero, and that has brought us back to the very beginning of Solar System History, to a place where we can observe the most primordial building blocks of the planets.

Ex,

No evidence of craters on either orb.

Raylan just ran over a guy - twice, Then took his gun, his room key and is now talking to himas if he is on a bar stool. LOL.

[Captain Hate]

Apparently, uber-conservative Erick Erickson argues by appeal to mind-reader, like so many progressive propagandist chaff throwers of the last several decades:

---
[What Romney said]'s something they all agree with privately , which is probably why they're so outraged.
---

The Psychic Liberal trope is now picked up by the Pyschic NeverTrumps.

I do so love the way they are preserving all these traditional values, in the Dems' favor.

Good question from a Reporter:

CBS Reporter: Looking at those pix and the neck specifically, is there any way to even guesstimate how strongly bound those 2 lobes are? It almost looks like you could break them apart pretty easily...

Scientist: That's a fair question. We think that in a structural sense they are soundly bound, in the sense that you probably couldn't push them apart yourself but they obviously came together at such a gentle speed...that they really are kind of resting on each other. You can think of it as analogous to a spacecraft docking with another spacecraft, almost more than you can imagine it as any kind of collision.

Another Scientist pipes in: We've already done the calculation to compare the centripetal force of that 15 hour period to the mutual gravity of these 2 lobes attracting one another, and shown that the mutual gravity is substantially larger, and so their gravity alone can hold them together even without any mechanical forces adding to that.

[Another Bob]

Soap operas were mentioned earlier?

Late seventies when I was in university, it was Days of Our Lives on the student union TV.

It’s when I developed serious crushes for Deidre Hall and Suzanne Rogers.

[Jim Eagle]

CH,

He lost his gig with Rush, and when I first heard him, I was turned off by his voice, if nothing else. He is a run of the mill radio guy without an audience but an ego.

[Narciso79]

Ah Erickson behaved like a ferengi about seven years.

[Narciso79]

Victor Neumann came in the later version of the y&r after 1981, when he replaced David hasslehoff?

An object as small as ultima thule wouldn't likely have craters.

[Another Bob]

Has it been covered here that Trump is now selling US rice to Chinamen?

Ice to Eskimos probably not in the cards though.

[Skoot]

I have worked with APL (on some very fast and lethal stuff). Impressive folks working there.

Just saw a big 'Trump 2020' sign on a home in a somewhat urban area while waiting for a kid to come out of karate class. It's on.

[Extraneus]

their gravity alone can hold them together even without any mechanical forces adding to that

In the absence of any other forces, that makes sense, but still a question of their masses if there's any angular momentum.

[Account Deleted]

what are the odds Trump gets Nikki Haley to VP with him in 2020?

Pence's tank looked to be on fumes during the Schmerr/Felosi smackdown.

Giddy up.

[Extraneus]

That's been my bet, Kev.

[daddy]

I developed serious crushes for Deidre Hall and Suzanne Rogers.

Sorry, AB.

Didn't have time to find one showing more skin, since I'm off to a Movie with Z.

[Jane]

Can someone explain it to me? Is this some rare weird thing that has formed in outer space that we've never seen before? And if so, is it because it's never happened or because we've never had the capability to see it?

Or am I ought of my mind?

[Narciso79]

It's an object that discovered in deep space about four years ago, it would be the farthest such object we've encountered about 4.5 billion miles away

[Extraneus]

I haven't been following it, Jane, but I think it's the smallest, farthest thing that's ever been seen, and the forces that created it are much smaller than those that formed anything else we know of, giving credence to the theory that our solar system, if not the universe, was formed by an explosion of some sort.

Do I have that right, daddy and/or Jack?

[Another Bob]

They looked better than that in the late ‘70s daddy.

[Jane]

Thanks Narc and Ex. That is helpful.

Important meeting today on Border Security with Republican and Democrat Leaders in Congress. Both parties must work together to pass a Funding Bill that protects this Nation and its people – this is the first and most important duty of government...

.I remain ready and willing to work with Democrats to pass a bill that secures our borders, supports the agents and officers on the ground, and keeps America Safe. Let’s get it done!

[Jane]

Very common. In fact, before you get to Kuiper, you can find the sam shapes closer to our identified planets. This was the one brought up today by, I thnk, the Irish reporter:

Here's an earlier one, AB.

My mom watched Days of Our Lives incessantly.
I can still hear MacDonald Carey;
Like sands through the hourglass...yeesh.

[Jim Eagle]

Ex,

That is the current thinking about formation. It now seems the outer sphere is still primitive, and un-formed like the inner sphere. Is it gravity or some physical attractions that create the planetary structure we are part of. More science in the next 100 years may help solve that. But we are not even close.

[Ignatz Ratzkiwatzki]

Deidre Hall actually did a really good prime time family show with Wilford Brimley called IIRC Our House for a couple of seasons.

I wonder how the Lightbringer now feels about his AYSO Nobel? He totally f'd up the Middle East beyond it's inherent f'd upness. I'd say that alone entitles him to the Very Special Nobel.

Enough with semantic arguments over the word “wall”. Stop pretending that ancillary “solutions” (drones, sensors) is enough to prevent 400,00 people per year from crossing the border illegally.

Democrats need to come to the table and meet us halfway.

Raylan and his boss just gave us the FBI we have come to know recently. Good job, prime video.

[Ignatz Ratzkiwatzki]

Does that mean we get a wall half as long or half as high?

It's all right, Dave--these soaps are long gone and we don't watch them anymore. They were surely silly!

[Ignatz Ratzkiwatzki]

My favorite soap of all time was As the Stomach Turns on the ol Carol Burnett show, though JOM in its more dramatic moments comes in a close second.

Justified getting too damn convoluted. Typical Elmore Leonard. Can make your brain hurt.

[Narciso79]

Season 4 gets even more convoluted borrowing from the bluegrass conspiracy tale, for it appears both givens and crowder pere have deep state roots.

[Captain Hate]

When walking by a newsstand, or skimming radio stations or walking through the subway and seeing the ads for the latest Lefty Trump Hate (dressed up as a TV series or movie) I actually feel as though I'm living in an occupied country --with a particularly crude propaganda apparatus.

She was just on a show called Good Behavior with Michelle Dockery from Downton Abbey.

Since those two massive objects came together, albeit slowly, could they have metamorphosized?

Metamorphic rocks arise from the transformation of existing rock types, in a process called metamorphism, which means "change in form".The original rock (protolith) is subjected to heat (temperatures greater than 150 to 200 °C) and pressure (100 megapascals (1,000 bar) or more), causing profound physical or chemical change. The protolith may be a sedimentary, igneous, or existing metamorphic rock.

If you're watching Justified and you see 'music by Steve Porcaro' you might remember him from Toto. It also gives him credits on Dune and Waterworld among other movies.

Trump is doing what Reagan did; when you know you have the public behind you on an issue, just keep banging it until the commiecrats cave.
