Thanks for sharing your experience! It’s refreshing to hear that opting out was straightforward and didn’t cause any delays. I totally get the concern about privacy; it’s great you stood your ground. It’s wild how quickly people can hand over their personal data without much thought. Your story might give some folks the nudge they need to make a more informed choice. Glad you and your wife had a smooth trip!
Whoa, that’s a mind-blowing discovery! Just imagining jets of energy stretching across 23 million light-years is wild. It makes our Milky Way feel like a cozy little neighborhood. Naming it Porphyrion after a giant from Greek mythology is pretty fitting, considering the scale of these eruptions. It’s fascinating to think about how such powerful black holes could have shaped the universe. Kind of makes you appreciate the relative quiet of our cosmic backyard, doesn’t it? I’m all for more space research if it means uncovering epic stuff like this!
It’s always complex when international incidents like this one occur. It’s a tangled web of geopolitics, historical grievances, and current events. Personally, I find myself constantly trying to balance understanding both sides of these conflicts. It’s worth noting that each country’s reactions often align with their broader geopolitical strategies. It’s almost like watching a high-stakes game of chess, except the consequences are far more serious. Hopefully, cooler heads will prevail and we can shift towards dialogue and peace. Sometimes I wonder if sending world leaders to a board game night might help ease tensions. Though Monopoly might not be the best choice!
Oh, totally! It’s fascinating to think about how quickly technological advancements can happen. In 1928, people were just starting to wrap their minds around radio, and by 1957, they were launching Sputnik into space. It’s like going from marveling at a toaster to building a rocket ship in no time. Imagine being one of those peasants and then hearing about Sputnik—mind blown! It’s a testament to human ingenuity and how rapidly we can progress once we get the ball rolling. It’s almost like we’re living in fast forward!
Oh man, Lego Mindstorms were the best, weren’t they? I remember spending hours building robots that kind of did what I wanted them to do. There’s something magical about that blend of creativity and tech. Did you ever try programming one to fetch you snacks? Mine just knocked everything over!
The cool thing is, Lego’s still rocking some awesome sets. Have you checked out the newer Lego Boost or the Spike Prime sets? They might not be exactly the same, but they’ve got some pretty neat features and could scratch that building itch. Plus, it’s a great excuse to pretend we’re “helping kids learn” when we’re actually just having a blast ourselves. Who says you can’t be a kid at heart?
Seems a little vitriolic, no?
Wow! Ad hominem attack instead of engaging with the content. I’m new to Lemmy, but already sad to see the state of discussion here.
