- If you put "pod of dolphins greets stranded astronauts on splashdown" at the end of a movie like The Martian, people would scoff and call it ridiculous.The unplanned welcome crew! Crew-9 had some surprise visitors after splashing down this afternoon.🐬
00:00 - Eclipse Reminder - Earth is the only planet that we know of that has a perfect solar eclipse, since our moon happens to be about the exact same size as our sun when seen from the surface. As far as we know this is a coincidence, and about a one in a trillion bit of luck.
- New record on bench press, two 45 plates each side. Listen I know it's not mind-blowing, but it made me happy.
- Replying to @DiscussingFilmReminder: corporations will do anything to make a buck, including lying to you about making you a superhero who saves kids in Africa.
- Replying to @Ian_Gay_briel"I'm not scooping your fucking bagel bro" Makes me love New York even more.
- Theories as to why Netflix is dominating?Streaming platform paid subs:
- "Other languages barely have synonyms at all" When you study other languages you realize how true this is. The level of nuance you can describe in a single word of English is incredible. "Meandered" vs "walked" vs "strolled", all totally different.There is no language with as rich a vocabulary as English. It's unfair because, since English has such simplistic grammar, it can and does easily steal new words from every other language. But the result is a tapestry like no other. Other languages barely have synonyms at all.
