The system starts out as a big cloud of debris orbiting a central point. Each particle is orbiting in its own way, there isn’t any organization. Since there is no organization, most of these particles are going to bump into each other. This changes the speed and direction of the particles, some of them will clump together and most of them ending up gathered at the center of gravity of the entire system. This eventually gets large enough to become your star.

As the remaining particles become clumped together into larger items they will begin exerting gravitational pull on other objects. One plane of orbit will become dominant, and the remaining clumps will gradually settle down into their orbits, in the same general plane, in the same direction. Those that don’t will have their orbital speed reduced enough that the object ends up gathered into the center.

If I only have five 3s, can I Rubik my way to a Yahtzee?

The only reason Tom Petty was in the Wilburys was that George Harrison left his guitar in Petty’s studio, and had to go get it. He brought Petty back with him.

I’m going to say “What is Tom Petty’s studio?”

You want to fill the area above that wall, just between the floor joists? I’m not sure the faced fiberglass is worth the trouble. Are you trying to mitigate noise? What’s that wall made out of, and how thick is it?

The welding blanket is a great idea. But, fiberglass, can you cut it without shedding fibers everywhere?

Avoid ANYTHING that will burn. You’ll violate your new code compliance. You can get fiberglass insulation panels with a foil backing. These can be cut to size with a utility knife. Some good tape should hold it in place.

Do a search for “basement fire barrier” and you’ll find other ideas.

My favorite phone was a Sony Xperia Compact. If they still have SD Card slots my next phone will be Sony.

It goes on the end of a curtain rod. What you do with the rod after that is none of my business.

Like others have said, change your passwords, activate 2FA if available, never reuse passwords etc, etc, etc.

I have been getting repeated warnings for unsuccessful logins to my Microsoft account for some time now. I’m guessing some bad actors are just throwing whatever leaked passwords they have hoping for hits. I have 2FA turned on and a password complex enough to deter dictionary attacks, so I’m not really concerned.

you should get one of those little exercise pedal devices to sit on the toeboard. Should extend your life by miles.

It looks like someone has figured out how to make money from AI.

Dammit, that was my wallet!

Not evil enough. Can’t even get good heroin anymore.

Always associated vaccines with viruses. I guess i never really thought about it.

Testing the vaccine wasn’t easy. One larvae-producing site in Florida was hit by a hurricane, “another was taken out by bears,” Swift said.

Scientific proof that vaccines cause hurricanes and bears.

This is the first time I’ve heard of a vaccine against bacterial infection.

Every city should have a Sloth Parade. It’s only 1 block and takes 5 hours.

Turn it into a bedroom. I’ve heard a single person can eat up to 12 spiders a night while they sleep.

Something called Merlin? I need to check the version of the router to see if it’s compatible. I can still access through the Android app.

ASUS just retroactively removed access to the router I’ve had for 3 years, unless I agree to new terms and conditions. They are now and forever off the list of “companies I do business with”
