I went to the BOOKSTORE today! Of the four books I was considering this was the only one in stock so LETS GO!!!

This is a CRAZY cool image, thank you for sharing
A swirling mas of red, orange, and yellow cloud-like structures, corresponding to increasing quantities of dust. There is a general spiral structure to this protoplanetary disk. The small "twist"-like feature is immediately to the lower right of the image centre. The star itself has been masked.
AB Aurigae is a young star only a few million years old, about 500 lightyears from Earth.
The swirling mass around it is a protoplanetary disk.
And where there's a small "twist", just to the lower right of the centre, is where a giant planet is growing.
The Bangle 7 series was not much better than the new one...
Now they make Hyundais
Haha didn't even notice the popups ๐
Haha that's so cool. What an awesome job that must be for a car designer. No worries about safety, manufacturability, practicality, aerodynamics, packaging...just "what would look SUPER rad?" Cyberpunk 2077 had some incredible designs too.
Actually now that you point that out it's a good likeness... But the slit headlights and more rounded forms on the Streamer are still throwing me off that scent...
(Fully comprehended on the first point; we are in Burnout territory here!)
They all look super rad, my favorite of this bunch is the first one, and you're making me want to check the game out more...
Hasty impressions:
Lamborghini Gallardo/Sesto Elemento mutant
Classic TVR/Ginetta
Third one is hard to place, maybe some kind of Pininfarina design study
Bricklin SV1
Oh my God it is???
It's a graphic novel that's had a videogame metastasize into it
Wish you were reading a graphic novel, but also want your friends to think you're a cool gamer with edgy politics? Disco Elysium is the game for you!
Modern Star Trek is doing both of these, weirdly. SNW made the Gorn plainly evil, and Picard tried to reform the Borg
If screens are so good at keeping you up at night, how come they do jack for that during the day? RIDDLE ME THAT, SLEEP LECTURERS
We're getting ads and mailers around here that are like "democrats want to make elections UNFAIR! GERRYMANDERING IS WRONG!!" and I'm like, "that's cool, have you told that to red states?"
Waking up early so I can go to the polls and tell republicans to EAT SHIT
Or when they merge onto the highway at 40 mph with no turn signal???
Ah yes, predictability! That's when people come to a complete stop at a yield sign with clear traffic, right?
The first people to loose sight of Earth in 50 years...
I wonder if they got any nice Z9 video with the long lens
One time I was going 7 over on a residential-adjacent street and a guy in a Tesla decided to pass me over a DOUBLE YELLOW.
I have seen some truly unhinged behavior about right-on-red here in NOVA. Every day I see a dozen people who should have their license revoked.
I don't think "make all the cars slower" is the solution anyone really wanted... #formula1
Besides which, spare time in an airport is time with a good book, I don't see the problem
When you're not performing your duties do they keep you in a little box? Cells.
Race suspended until further notice =( #NLS #NLS4 #n24qualifier
Kind of frustrated at the lack of presense for NLS talk and @RSL_studio on bluesky... #NLS
Quite a serious incident right before the Karussell apparently. Multiple cars, oil, track blocked, medevac... #NLS4 #NLS #n24qualifier
Maybe there's lightning in the area???
