After some thought, I’ve decided that we should refer to this apparent lapse by journalists as “Oceangate-gate-gate”

After decades of journalists attaching the suffix “gate” to anything even remotely scandalous, I was disappointed that I never heard anyone embrace the full stupidity of this practice by referring to this story as “Oceangate-gate”

If we could just work out how to efficiently mill waste plastic into 15 μm or so sizes, we’d then be able to mix the plastics directly into our wheat flours and whey protein powders. Why try to beat plastic when we could just become plastic?

Thanks to your comments, I went looking at more about Jupiter’s influence on us and read that most of the other planets are more in line with Jupiter’s orbital plane than the Sun’s equatorial plane (which sounds impressive, but maybe only makes complete sense since the planets would have all initially formed from the same disk). Anyway, thanks
I don’t know. I don’t think we should make excuses for Jupiter just because of its size. Pluto’s doing the best it can. Could any of us do any better, so far out from the sun?
Exactly. That’s also why Jupiter, which shares its orbit with thousands of asteroids, isn’t a planet either.

Yeah. I was in Hawaii when 9/11 happened, and of course all flights at the time were canceled for days. It wasn’t a bad place to be stuck for a little while, but even that short of a delay in returning did cause a few issues.
Eventually, they became confident that they were working with new material from two fragmentary Euripides plays, Polyidus and Ino. Twenty-two of the lines were previously known in slightly varied versions, but “80 percent was brand-new stuff,” Gibert says.
This cleared up my first thought: how can you tell the lost writings of Euripides from the lost writings of Sophocles (or from the writings of playwrights that haven’t survived at all). I mean, unless these are sizeable fragments, it might not be easy to tell even Aeschylus from Euripides
