Geez, I didn’t expect that Moomin comics might need a [suicide] content warning.

I thought it was football

It is football, no?

Done.

Excellent!

SpaceX have just deployed both spacecraft into a trans-lunar injection, successfully completing their part of the mission:

Deployment of @Firefly_Space’s Blue Ghost lunar lander confirmed

Deployment of the @ispace_inc RESILIENCE lunar lander confirmed

If a rocket is reusable, the materials it is made of matter less than that of satellites which will burn up on reentry. As for the fuel, most of the upcoming reusable launch vehicles are methalox and/or hydrolox. While the industry isn’t there yet, green methane will be easier to produce than green kerosene.

I definitely read that as “trash metal” several times before getting it correct.

Is Sniff wearing a wristwatch as a necklace?

Nice!

Yakko’s World/Dictionary are to the tune of the Mexican hat dance, no?

How so?

Happy cake day!

Hilt happy?

why couldn’t Harry take his best mate Ron shopping with him to pick out some decent dress robes or a new wand?

That would have put a strain on his relationship with the Weasleys:

He would willingly have split all the money in his Gringotts vault with the Weasleys, but he knew they would never take it.

- Goblet of Fire, chapter 10

The few times Harry does buy stuff for Ron, Ron gets quite uncomfortable. Also, the first thing Harry does after giving startup money to the twins is to tell them to buy Ron some new dress robes.

If they’re able to produce negative energies of sufficient amplitude

Have we been able to produce any “negative energy” yet? I kind of got the impression that negative energy was some sort of mathematically valid alternate solution to some physics equation, but which didn’t have any basis in reality.

Scientists who have since studied Brown’s devices have not found any anti-gravity effect, and have attributed the noticed motive force to the more well-understood phenomenon of ionic drift or “ion wind” from the air particles, some of which remained even when Brown put his device inside a vacuum chamber. More recent studies at NASA, held at high voltages and proper vacuum conditions, showed no generated force.

Ion thrusters are real (and neat), but they are not anti-gravity tech.

Ah, the “they only work on the weak-minded” plot device?

Thanks for volunteering! I’ve added you.
