Reply to The way the cat looks at the person filming. It’s your fault this is here. by IkilledRichieWhelan
My cat from college put up with soooo much manhandling from my older two kids. And he really did put up with it without complaint. If it got too rough he'd walk away, but usually be right back a few seconds later. We're pretty sure he decided to check out for good when he realized there was a third kid on the way.
2 weeks later a friendly stray showed up on the back deck all "I hear you have an opening".

Reply to comment by ATLCoyote in The last hour of Cast Away is devastating and beautiful by PastMiddleAge
I said something similar about Avengers Endgame. A single-digit year gap is exactly the worst duration for someone to be away. If it's weeks or months, no problem, most aspects you really can step right back into your old life. If it's a decade or more, there's just no question about it: not happening. But a couple of years? You probably won't, but there's just enough of a possibility that that hope winds up wrecking you.

It's a rare actor that can be the only entity in a film for an hour and still make it gripping as hell.

These are the same idiots who will insist that there were no terrorist attacks against the US during Dubya's reign of error.

I was already wfh, but it's just wonderful serendipity that we got a dog towards the end of January 2020, right when covid was starting to become a household word.

Probably gave him a promotion for it. They like to reward casual homicide.

So if mass were less of an issue, what could we do to armor up a telescope like this against these sorts of strikes?

Reply to LPT: Do not fall for the whole pursue "working for your dream company" idea. You will be so much better off if you have a wonderful, respectful, considerate boss at some normal business who actually values and respects you/your work, and allows you to become successful and proficient in your field. by Dismal_Body_2731
I tels you, my current Scottish boss has completely ruined me for having an American manager even again. We were halfway through March and the guy is telling me he's worried because I haven't yet put in any requests against my unlimited vacation time.
