I’m not sure I get this.

Broke with nothing to live for and damn ready to die young. I'm the shadow behind the gun, look what I've become. Lemmy.

Ja Rule, circa 1993, probably

Thanks for the explanation. You rule. ba dum tiss

 

I see posts that say “rule” or “ultimate rule” a lot. What does this mean in Lemmy land?

That’s hilarious. I think I’ve blocked that bit out. But I was giggling when the idiot was using morse code to communicate with his daughter in the past.

And the entire Matt Damon and robot bit could have been left out. It added absolutely nothing to the film.

I had definitely blocked that trite dialogue out my mind to save space for something more important, like digits 700-800 of pi.

Interstellar for me. Great soundtrack though.

Oh yes. My pedantry is nearly boundless.

You are right. I stand corrected.

Fair, but annoying to the pendantic.

If we are 1AU from the sun, and this planet is 90AU from the sun, then it is between 89 and 91 AUs from earth depending on the progress of our orbits (assuming perfectly circular orbits). So they did change the frame of reference.

“The object is currently about 90.5 astronomical units (AU) away from us, or roughly 90 times as far from Earth as the sun is.”

This sentence pissed me off so much and I stopped reading after it.

It is 90.5 times as far from the Sun as the Earth is from the Sun. Why’d you have to go and change the frame of reference to Earth?
