Without disagreeing with you, what should the event be called?

Breakup, impact, fly-by? all those could be incorrect if all you know is a space object entered the atmosphere, made a sound, and flashed some light. What do you call that? Especially because you don't automatically know if it impacted the surface. At which point it becomes a meteorite, so even calling it a meteor is not fully correct. Or do you get ultra technical and say that when it made the sound and flash, it had not yet reached the ground, therefore it was a meteor at the time?


Can you imagine, just by extrapolation, how many must hit the open ocean that are never seen nor heard?

We could simply be moving through a less quiescent region of space, and this does represent a genuine up tick.

It's not a coincidence. More crime means more votes. Create the problem and sell you the solution that's just out of reach. "$NEW_GUY's plan will take effect immediately after election. He will work tirelessly to solve $PROBLEM (we created), unlike $BAD_GUY (who promised the same thing 4 years ago), whose tired old policies are no good for $GEOGRAPHIC_AREA. Vote smart, vote $GOOD_GUY $YEAR. Paid for by the committee to elect $GOOD_GUY."

What's clever about the "promotions" tab being automatic is that it actually makes me want to read them on my own time. Before Gmail my old pattern was classify with read/delete/save. Commercial emails were usually deleted.

The industry combats piracy by making fake websites that deliver scam URLs. But I've almost never had a problem finding the real TPB link.

So if your name is Gunnar, no chance in breaking into the industry?

Fwiw we hired a "gray head" earlier this year and it was a huge mistake. guy has solid Linux knowledge but has absolutely zero motivation to get work done. If you don't constantly prod him on his progress he will just sit there and stare at the code. No longer am I going to be dazzled by someones 30 year tech resume.
