You know you're fucking old when you get over excited about a pair of curtains.

I just had some new triple pane windows installed and SWMBO decided she wanted new blinds. The blinds quoted cost more than the damn windows! I had to just say no to that vendor.

These fuckers are £250 but I'm in love with 'em.
 

Half-mile Wide Asteroid Makes Close Approach on Wednesday

by Roy Spencer, Ph.D.
18 April, 2017



An asteroid capable of destroying Washington D.C. and New York City at the same time will be making its closest approach to Earth on April 19...

...The current asteroid, called “2014 JO25“, is traveling at the unimaginably fast speed of 75,000 mph. It has been estimated that an asteroid of this size is capable of wiping out an area the size of New England, and causing global cooling from the dust that would be lofted into the stratosphere. “2014 JO25” will be the closest appoach asteroid of this size in the last 13 years.

Good News, Bad News

The good news is that even at closest approach, the asteroid — about the size of the Rock of Gibraltar — will safely pass by about 4.6 times as far away from Earth as the moon.

The bad news is that this asteroid was only discovered in 2014, and even if it was on a collision course with Earth, there probably would not have been enough time to mount a mission to hit it with a nuclear-weapon tipped rocket. This is why NASA has been surveying the skies, discovering new asteroids on a routine basis. While most of these are small, the relatively recent discovery of Wednesday’s asteroid suggests we will not have much time to respond if we discover one on a collision course with Earth...​


 
there's a joke in there somewhere - but i ain't touchin' it :p

good afternoon, f-f-f-fata.

bought a dress yesterday. :cool:

Good afternoon Butters! Ooh what kind of dress? I'm totally revamping my book room. Moving the gas meter, ripping out the 60's horrible fireplace and another bookcase squeezed in. I'm excited but moving all the books out is daunting. National Grid bloke came this morning and he spent half an hour looking through my books!
