At a cost of $30 billion.
 
Conman Elon Musk plans on putting 10 times as much garbage in space as has been put there total up til now every 5 years.
 
There’s also about 23,000 objects in orbit, including satellites and all other debris large enough to track from the ground. Starlink will double that just with satellites, and probably quadruple it or tendouple it with added debris. Every. Five. Years.
 
Imma just put this here.

The balls in the phrase “freezing balls” are cannonballs, not testicles. The phrase is shortened from the original “cold enough to freeze the balls off a brass monkey”. A brass monkey was a triangular holder for cannonballs, which were made of iron. Different metals contract at different temperatures, so the brass monkey would get smaller faster than the iron cannonballs when it was really cold out, causing the cannonballs to fall off and roll all over the ground.

The Campaign for North Africa, released in 1979, is the most complicated board game ever made. The publisher says that a 10 person game (5 per side) should last around 1,500 hours. In the past 40 years no one has ever actually finished it. Even the game designers never finished it. The game has 31 types of terrain, 1,600 counters, 6 instruction books, and is generally regarded as the most complex game ever made.
 
You know how you can sometimes challenge death to a game for another chance at living? If you get to pick the game choose this one.

The book The Sum of All Fears features Islamic terrorists who build a nuclear bomb and blow up the Super Bowl to start a war between the US and Russia so they can inherit the ashes.
 
When the movie was made in 2001 the director thought “Islamic terrorists? That can never happen, let’s make them neo-nazis instead.”
 
3 months later 9/11 happened.

Today is Abe Lincoln’s birthday. He’s one of the best presidents because he pisses off leftoids who hate him because he’s white and male, LOLbertarians who hate him because “muh state’s rights” even though the only “right” the Confederate states were seceding over was the “right” to keep slaves (something they all admit in their articles of secession, but “state’s rights” people are fucking retarded and deliberately ignore that), something which is anathema to the very idea of libertarianism, but they’re retarded anyway, and wignats who are racist and would rather keep black people enslaved out of race hatred even if it meant that poor whites in the south had their wages artificially depressed because it’s impossible to compete against people who work for free.
