The correct ranking of the Star Wars saga films, in descending order: 5, 8, 4, 7, 3, 6, 1, 9, 2 The correct initial viewing order: Release order. Subsequently, you may watch in Episode order. I hope this helps.

Words like “authoritarian” and “oligarchy” do not make for catchy slogans.

It is not difficult to structure a tax cut package so it primarily helps the middle class rather than the wealthy. For example, you could lower the rates on the lowest 2 or 3 tax brackets.

Still reeling from the discovery of so many new satellites of Saturn. 🪐 It changes my perspective on our solar system. And more to come, no doubt.

Astronomers just confirmed finding 128 more moons of Saturn. It now is recognized as having 274 moons. These are all at least a few miles in diameter, not tiny ring particles. Amazing. skyandtelescope.org/astronomy-ne...

Not since 1989 has a new U.S. Presidential administration begun without enjoying a majority in the Senate, however narrow or temporary. Thus no party has been able to simply refuse to seat the opposing party’s Cabinet. I fear a constitutional crisis lurks here, hidden by fortuitous election breaks.

I have zero (0) experience with 3D printing. I want to make small strips of an urban landscape, like a few city blocks, BUT the whole thing is slightly curved. Any suggestions on sites or programs where I can do this? Is there an easy way to warp an existing STL file?

Perhaps we can revert to the Gulf of Mexico, but with the understanding that the name now celebrates the state of New Mexico.

Non-transitive dice still blow my mind, even though I know exactly how they work. Same with a gyroscope. And I love that. This is different from the set of real numbers, however, which also blows my mind, but which creates anxiety because I think I will never truly understand them.

They always advise you to be mindful and live in the moment but right now I might prefer to enjoy something mindless or live in some other moment. But hey at least it’s not still January 😁🤗

Tonight ends a record 262 days without rain in L.A. I loathe the rain, but tonight it sounds wonderful as it falls on our roof.
