And from what I have heard on science podcasts, the moon is, and has been, and still will be, moving away from the earth. Making the perfect solar eclipse only for a segment of the earth’s history.

Is this like the “queens voice” people used to put on when they answered the phone in the pre-mobile times? We used to laugh at my mum and dad for putting on a posh accent when answering the phone. I’m not aware of people doing that these days but perhaps they do

I wonder if there were two buttons, one for the shock, and another which gives them something more rewarding. I wonder how fast or slow they give up on the more rewarding response because that too becomes boring. I suppose like a song that sounds great at first but you hate it after x times

Vegetables are trying to kill us so we won’t eat them

Would this be a star which wasn’t big enough and fizzled out into a big planet?

Where’s the wasp table!?

Wow yes. Had forgotten about this. They gave alternates of who killed him. I don’t remember them all but for some reason I rember Apu and Maggie firing with angry faces. I need to watch that again.

I wish somebody did shove that old cunt into that suit like somebody trying to stuff a sleeping bag into the carry bag it can’t in. the trauma would be unreal.

They provided some insight to why they think MS didn’t comment. Then agreed with you. I don’t think they were defending MS.

Cool! I have always loved them film. Never knew that fact. I haven’t done Warhammer since a kid but now you say it the gothic style ship interior does remind me of the chaos space marines.

I was thinking of Event Horizon. That’s pretty much the same as you’ve described.

Sort of. Only because they don’t maintain their asset register correctly and the ticket system is shite. Dodgy equipment does end up going out but not always at the fault of the person issuing it.
