Finally had some luck and the weather cooperated to let me see the bloodmoon during the eclipse tonight. Was out of my house when the eclipse itself was happening so had to wait til i was home to get my camera and try and get a shot.
Not great, but better than nothing.

Looks like, maybe, that I might be given responsibility for the VW case here. I might be happy. Might be terrified. I don't know.

Multiple parties will be fed to the meat grinder over that deal - but it sounds like you might get to crank the handle. I think you should be happy and terrified at the same time.

I've been hearing that it's a good time to buy a VW

HiddenOne. You son of a bitch. You slimy, skulking, low-posting scumbag. You knew it would come to this. Roundabout, maybe. Tortuous, certainly. But here we are, you and me again. I started the train on you so many many hours ago, and now I'm going to finish it. Die HO. Die. This is for last time, and this is for this game too. This is for all the people who died to your backstabbing, treacherous, "I sure don't know what's going on around here" filthy lying, deceitful ways. You son of a bitch. Whatever happens, this is justice. For me, this is justice. Vote HiddenOne Finally, I am at peace.

There's wet water on Mars.

Yup, especially the "wet water" part is important. From NASA:

Quote

New findings from NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) provide the strongest evidence yet that liquid water flows intermittently on present-day Mars.

Link: NASA confirms evidence that liquid water flows on today's mars

Evidence of actual liquid water is pretty new.

Kim Stanley Robinson must be crossing his fingers that he got constantly-fucking octogenarians right next.

Hello, soldiers, look at your mage, now back to me, now back at your mage, now back to me. Sadly, he isn’t me, but if he stopped being an unascended mortal and switched to Sole Spice, he could smell like he’s me. Look down, back up, where are you? You’re in a warren with the High Mage your cadre mage could smell like. What’s in your hand, back at me. I have it, it’s an acorn with two gates to that realm you love. Look again, the acorn is now otataral. Anything is possible when your mage smells like Sole Spice and not a Bole brother. I’m on a quorl.

Damn it I knew I meant to add 'in space'

Apologies for misleading you all as to how likely your grandparents were still getting it on for decades (they totally were, while you were in the house sleeping as a child too)
