If you murder someone in space, is it illegal?
- Yes.
The argument "what happens in space stays in space" will not hold in a court of law.palimpsest - Hmm, what about if you eject a someone alive on a ballilstic trajectory, so they die above Las Vegas, killed by space?Nairn
- all airspace crimes; passenger aircraft to space are considered federal. criminals face charges in their home countiesimbecile
- *countries evenimbecile
- so someone can't just slit Elon's throat on his first trip and totally get away with it?Nairn
- Sadly, no unless someone convinces a cop that Elon is blackimbecile
- everything is in space. the entire planet is IN space.sarahfailin
- MIND = BLOWN. EXTRA-TERRESTRIAL = EXTRA JURISPRUDENCE. I AM FREE TO MURDER WHO I WANT, RIGHT HERE ON EARTH! Thanks sarah xNairn

Everyone who doesn't like or doesn't feel touched by Interstellar, doesn't have children.
- What about people without children who were touched by Interstellar anyway?Continuity
- Idle thought THAT, sir!Continuity
- I need a Venn diagram to really grasp this.sausages
- Ah maybe that's why I didn't like it.NBQ00
- I don't have children and liked Interstellar.CyBrainX
- ...but Matt Damon should avoid space travel considering his track record.CyBrainX
- What about people who touch children but don't like interstellar? Or those that are touched by interstellar leading to them touching children?Ianbolton
- ^ asking for a friendIanbolton
- I personally loved interstellar and don't have or touch childrenIanbolton
- Saying you liked it even without children is missing the point. He’s saying if you don’t like it you probably don’t have kids.monospaced
- I can’t remember interstellar and have children who have not been touched by medee-dubs
- It's a great movie. I can't believe the dude made TENETcrazyprick

This is posted entirely inappopriately, but we don't have a Very Deep Thoughts thread. Or, do we?
- not sure if this fits but we have this "Intellectual Dark Web" thing. anyway do you think that King Arthur came a lot?sted
- Haha. I find Cunk a bit too cringe but this one's profoundly resonating right nowIanbolton
- I know it's all set up, but this is still delicious

at what point does a man become a slut?
or at what point is promiscuity a problem?
- "...asking for a friend"sarahfailin
- Maybe NBQ00 would like to share his insights on this?Continuity
- Would you suck off a guy in a 7-11 for a bottle of hooch?Nairn
- If you're in a 7/11, you're probably doing that already.CyBrainX

If you point a very powerful laser beam at the sky, then you shake the thing, will the laser bend at some far away point in space?
- bend or curb or undulate...lajj
- what is gravitational lensingsted
- so no, not because you "shake it" :) but by objects with high gravity, yessted
- Moving the light source WILL "bend" it. red/blue shift of the wavelength happens when light-emitting objects move-- the speed of light remains constantsarahfailin
- The red/ blue shift only happens for axial movement, you are essentially compressing the wavefront by moving the emittermonNom
- And no. The laser will point at different points in space based on your shaking. No bending.monNom

. o O ( typos and generally poor, slightly chaotic typing are a potential defence against future ai replicability of online persona. If you're a shit typer, start writing better where publically-viewable so that your respondants know it's you ( *wink ) amd if you're a generally-coherent typist, pepper your online meanderings wit h tiPos and Mspellllngs.

I was listening to some Canadian podcast last night - CBC's Ideas - and there's a radio show from fucking 1989 with David Suzuki banging on about how fucked we're going to be if we don't get our shit sorted. Back then, they were still super-worried about the ozone, which is a rare sorta-success story where we all came together and stopped making so much of that shit*.
But at the same time, they're fretting about species losses, deforestation, greenhouse emissions... in 1989, panicking about it.
That's nearly 35 years ago.
We really are fucked.
I'm just hoping the fact that insurance companies are starting to abandon entire areas because of this will be the final wake up call for the money people to finally realise they do actually need to do something about this shit. And, possibly, still profit.
- * except for recent huge emissions from various points over in asia somewhere.Nairn
- I fully believe that we as a species have the means to undo this shit. And not too un-quickly. But. It requires motivation. $$Nairn
- Well, undo some shit. I think we have truly- fucked things with micro- pico - nano- etc- plastic particulate pollution. Really badly.Nairn
- Rich people just move, they have their bunkers too.PhanLo
- This is par for the course, as far as David Suzuki is concerned. I remember he was sounding the alarm even as far back as the late 1970s in his TV docs.Continuity
- He should be considered a Canadian national treasure.Continuity
- Apparently he’s a bit of a prick in real life. Maybe he’s unhappy his predictions for the end times keep getting pushed back.monNom

"ice cream" pronounced in a Texan accent:
- You want some ass cream?
- Nah, I'm good".- The idle thought being the sentence "you want some ass cream" being repeated in my idle brain.jagara

I watched Asteroid City last night.
I like a lot of Wes' movies but I find myself getting distracted from the plot by how nice each and every shot is.
I feel like I need to re-watch.
