That seems unlikely. The moon orbits at an average distance of 384,400 km (238,900 mi), about 30 times the diameter of Earth.

Is that Plan 9's Glenda in the backpack?

I've heard that some people end up using food as a substitute.

I still remember watching that live, and how shocked I was that he said it, and then being equally surprised that it wasn't being heavily covered by the major news networks that day.

I know this is just for laughs, but from what I've read, Jupiter's gravity well does about as much harm as good.

I was pretty into x86 asm in my teens. Nasm was my go to. Anyone else ever play with MenuetOS?

I'm a long-time Samba fan, but even I wouldn't run them as DCs in a production environment.

Exactly this. Myspace was great for meeting new people. They even let you search for people in a given area by age, gender, interests, etc. Facebook, from what I remember (deleted mine years ago), was actively hostile towards you meeting people on their site, to the point that if someone added you that had no mutual friends, the site would ask if you knew them in real life.

Yeah, the CAN-SPAM act, as far as I understand it, doesn't allow them to force you to make an account just to unsubscribe.

From what I've read, YouTubers don't get paid from views that use an ad-blocker, but they still do from views that have premium, so my justification is that I'm helping support the creators I like. I'm also paying for Nebula, which some of the documentary-style creators upload to as well now.

I'm one of the dozen people that bought premium to not have to deal with it. I'm just patiently waiting for alternatives to become more viable so I can jump ship entirely. YouTube is the last remaining Google service I still use.
