I use that to annoy the same friend and send a random hedgehog fact in a text message from a random number.

“Despite their land-dwelling reputation, hedgehogs are good swimmers:they can swim across streams and ponds if necessary. Subscribe for more hedgehog facts!”

Skype is great when your flight is delayed, and you have some remaining cash in it from 15 years ago

What I don’t get is why anything these guys are saying makes the news. It’s changing every day, and it’s always a lie. They know it, everyone else knows it, it doesn’t make any sense to write about it.

Don’t know those, also, stopped doing night shifts (mostly) :)

I miss the old Yahoo games site where during night shift you could play Canasta with probably some retired folks from the other side of the world

One local news site wrote that it might be a mistranslation, and a poet from Leva got to be leftist poet. Can’t confirm personally, my Slovak vocabulary is 20 words at maximum

And Afghanistan was not available on that week?

Yepp, I always wanted to have a login to a porn site verified with my ID and connected to my home address

Right, but for nonEU trips you have to exit the Schengen zone, which comes with passport control, I have no idea how one can avoid that

Can you elaborate on that? Honestly I’m not very familiar with the guy except the name, and the news articles were obviously mostly positive

So, the thing is we can’t really predict CMEs. What we can do is observing them by satellites like SOHO or SDO (actually you can also check these data, check for jHelioViewer). While light indeed needs roughly 8 minutes to travel from the Sun, the ejected plasma is much slower than that, it travels at a comfy pace of 1000km/s or so. So it takes about a day to reach Earth (you can do the precise numbers as a homework or use Wolfram alpha to cheat), so from the observations we have roughly this time to do anything.

One suggestion in the old days was to stick a nail in an apple for a while and then eat it. The apple of course. Without the nail

Maybe. We had one of that too, but didn’t use it too much either

But… Isn’t that standard equipment in every household?
