Voyager 1 has 60kb of memory, an 8-track tape and runs on Fortran. It has come up close and personal with every planet in our solar system and also Pluto (heh)

If the US wants to play that game, we can just tell Martin Baker to stop selling them ejection seats. Fighter planes you can’t eject from won’t be a popular buy 😂

R.e 2 - Technically I think he was cornered by the independent solicitor charged by the court with taking possession of his devices prior to discovery. Rippling only initiated that process.

The population of Ireland is only a little over twice the size of the US Military, so I’m assuming that everyone 18-65 years will need to be conscripted.

She was 17

I think you should have a conversation with your parents about them moving the cross to the basement.

(This and the Reddit post on Spott edOnRightMove where I first saw it are just kink shaming. People should be allowed to have as many St Andrews Crosses as they want in their own house)
