Heat level: “fire-extinguisher hot”.

Then you are the “lesser being”!

In the best case, the detection is at the 2.4 sigma confidence level (less than the usual 3 for reasonable confidence and will below the 5 required for strong confidence), and if previously suspected issues with the instrument are true, the detection could disappear completely.

I do not have a strong confidence in this result. (But at least they didn’t publish it in Nature, in which case you would absolutely know it’s wrong…)

Yeah, that looks like it!

My dog loves to put the side of his snout against the snow, and plow. Then he flips onto his back and does a little wriggle back and forth before flipping over again and standing up. Rinse and repeat. Is that anything like what Daisy is doing here?

“The dog?! You were named after the dog?!”

The combination I use on my luggage is 12345.

Broken laser cat.

Didn’t recognize him without his fedora.

“… Just not where they get caught.”

There is a myth in evangelical Christian circles, I believe acknowledged in the article, that candy canes have their color (white for purity, red for blood) and shape (upside-down J for Jesus) and taste (sweet like the gospel) to explicitly communicate Christian doctrines. There is even a children’s Christmas musical performed in churches at Christmas based on this principle. As much as one may approve of the doctrines, Christians holding steadfastly to a particular origin of candy canes regardless of the evidence seems dishonest and misguided, if not outright idolatrous to me.
