I'm an artist, educator, militant anti-theist , and I write. I gamble on just about anything. And I like beer...but I love my wife. This blog contains observations from a funny old man who gets pissed off every once in a while.

FRIDAY #3561

One Of My Very Own

Mankind has now landed on another astroid.

Have you ever had a lost Opportunity? NASA has.

The Mars rover Opportunity hasn’t talked to Earth for over 100 days, but it's been found it in this photo by the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, taken a few days ago.
The Mars rover Opportunity has been pluckily scooting around the surface of Mars for the last 14 years, not bad for a mission planned to go only 90 days.  But the solar-powered science rover has been silent since June 10, 2018, when a planet-wide dust storm covered the sky.  Since Opportunity relies on solar power, its batteries quickly depleted and it went into a safe mode, waiting for sunlight to charge its batteries again.
The storm has mostly abated and yet JPL and NASA have heard nothing, even though they’ve been calling it multiple times a day. This is worrisome to the project scientists, for they have a deadline of October 15. That's when NASA will scale back efforts to contact Opportunity, basically signaling that the Powers That Be are willing to sign off on the project.

Okay, this would probably be fun...
Once.

I think this is a most excellent idea.

This is called a Jelly Fish.
I can think of at least one other thing that looks like.

This is called Angel Tears
I put those two drinks in this section because of the chemistry involved. Do people just keep putting different bar liquids in a glass until something cool happens?

Usain Bolt races in zero gravity.

I love stuff like this:

I'm wondering what this machines function is.
It's got a scoop thing on the front, but was it designed to crawl on the river bed?

It's okay to see funny things more than once.


PEOPLE NOT LIKE YOU AND ME

An excerpt from Patheos: In an unbelievable display of moral cowardice and deceit, the head of the Archdiocese of St. Louis said under oath that he wasn’t sure whether he knew if it was illegal for priests to have sex with children.

After admitting to protecting pedophile priests from prosecution, St. Louis Archbishop Robert Carlson testified that he wasn’t sure whether he knew if it was illegal for priests to have sex with children when he served as chancellor of the Twin Cities archdiocese in the 1980s. He also said under oath he couldn’t recall how he handled allegations of abuse against a Minnesota priest years ago. But Carlson did admit he never went to authorities after finding out a priest engaged in criminal sexual conduct with a minor.

How do you suppose they found out?

Almost doubling your seating capacity.
How very wonderful.

There are very few exceptions for young men hoping to avoid conscription into the South Korea Army. But12 students have found a new way to avoid service: expanding their waistlines.

They over-ate until ultimately failed the military physical.
(Note: I don't know why they picked a photo of the North Korean Army.)

Minimalism: A Documentary About The Important Things
A quote: "We think we need those things because we have been told we need those things."
I found the documentary very interesting, although I noticed that none of the people who shed most of their worldly possessions collected art.

I'm amazed, I must say. Seldom do I encounter a blog that's both equally educative and engaging, and without a doubt, you have hit
the nail on the head. The issue is an issue that too
few people are speaking intelligently about. I'm very happy that I stumbled
across this during my search for something concerning this.
