Sooo many issues getting wifi or sleep working in the past. It's so much better now.

That's really interesting!
I just discovered a theory about the cause of the 'late heavy bombardment', which is thought to have delivered water to earth via comets.

Essentially the gas giants all orbited much closer, but Jupiter and Saturn got into resonance and flung Uranus and Neptune way out (and Saturn too). Uranus and Neptune flew out into the path of a heap of ice, and their gravity pulled the ice into an orbit that collided with the terrestrial planets.

Jupiter does throw its weight around a bit too much.

Do you mean the Trojans? They're excluded from the mass calculation of 'clearing the neighbourhood' because they're in a resonant orbit - their orbit is a consequence of Jupiter's mass.

Absolute size isn't really in the criteria for a planet though. Pluto isn't a planet because it shares its orbit with lots of other icy bodies in the Kuiper belt.

As an Australian, here's the real war.

Never heard of miracle whip, looked it up - of course it has high fructose corn syrup.
Real mayo all the way. Whole egg preferably 🙂

That's the perfect amount of parmesan.

I went looking for the implied 'A' language but couldn't find it. Did find this though:

Surprising how many single letter names there are.

Clicking on the human rights link in your quote:

The United States is ranked well[5][6] on human rights by various organizations. For example, the Freedom in the World index lists the United States 53rd in the world for civil and political rights, with 83 out of 100 points as of 2023;[7][8] the Press Freedom Index, published by Reporters Without Borders, put the U.S. 55th out of 180 countries in 2024,[9] the Democracy Index, published by the Economist Intelligence Unit, classifies the United States as a "flawed democracy".[8].

One would hardly think 53rd and 55th is 'among the world's highest'.

I think it comes down to the last part - indistinguishable by a reasonable person as an authentic visual depiction. That'll be up to courts to decide, but I think a painting would be pretty obviously not an authentic visual depiction.
