It’s actually six hundred and two million trillion. To put this into some perspective, the national debt is currently about twenty-seven trillion dollars, or twenty-two million times smaller than a mole.

As for the truck, well, let’s just hope this farcical tale of befalling tragedies is nearing its end.
Childish 10/21/21
So many childish things are such great cardiovascular exercise. Jump rope, hula hooping, and even skipping will get your heart rate up and give you a very nice quick little exercise, but as adults we won’t do it out of fear of the harm it can do to our reputation. But you know what? Who cares?
The Chainsaw 10/20/21
The greatest hurdle to overcome when doing your own handy work is just your own self-doubt. There are some things you probably should avoid. Don’t try installing your own 220-volt wiring. You only need to get your tongue stuck in that wiring once to realize it’s a bad idea, believe me,

sometimes it’s the best thing. In trying to help, I became an easy access to “loans” and resources. I fear that if I keep helping him, he’ll never learn to take care of himself.

utes, so instead the calculations deal with probabilities. Where are the electrons most likely to exist? Where is money most likely to be found? You can see how this would be important to the economically minded.

On reading it back, the officer said, “so you went to her place and at some point, you passed out.” This struck a nerve. It was around midnight, isn’t it reasonable to assume that he fell asleep as opposed to passing out?
Sentenced to Retirement 10/15/21
a tale of three men. Yes, I’m one, my father is another, and my friend is the third. For those who survive long enough, I guess retirement is more or less a mandatory sentence, but how we handle it is not.
Chernobyl 10/14/21
What we have is a very complex mix of chemical and nuclear processes occurring in Chernobyl that I couldn’t begin to piece together, but an atomic explosion requires highly pure fuel. As the elements are changing, and as debris no doubt continues to mix in the fuel core, and as the uranium and plutonium transmute to other elements, the core is becoming less concentrated, not more. It’s a chaotic system, not well understood, but any damage that will occur will be significant only in the local region
