Once again, it's time for the FNGT!

If you don't know how this works, . That link will take you to another site to give you some additional information and tell you about some of our off-site features. That's also the site where we will host the weekly guitar threads, should Poal go down.

NOTE: That site is by invitation only. If you want an invite, and you're a regular participant, then just ask theBuddha, or myself.

If you do know what's going on, you probably don't need to click that link - but you may want to, to make sure you know of the other features, such as the archive or a separate forum that's invite only.

Remember, we are guests here on Poal. Let's act like it. If you're interested in supporting Poal, then .

I've never done concrete work. I did roofing for a while carrying bundles of shingles up to the roof, that sucked enough

LOL Yup. I've done that. Fuckers wanted me to bring two bundles up every time I climbed the ladder. I did not do so. Fuck 'em. I was not a roofer for long. It paid really poorly, compared to other labor jobs.

Wanna see some real science?

I said fuck that too, and only brought one bundle up the ladder at a time, I did not enjoy that part of the job.

They are crashing a dart into something?

Pretty much. They're smashing a spacecraft into it to test an idea that's basically about defending our planet from asteroids and the likes.

See, a big fucking asteroid has caused at least two extinction events. There's a 100% certainty that it will happen again. The goal here is to smash into it and nudge it into a new path.

Imagine that math and tech! We're smashing a spacecraft into an asteroid a zillion miles away.

Japan has previously hit an asteroid or a comet, I forget which. Or they got really close to it. One of 'em brought dust back from a comet's tail, but I think that one might have been a different mission. In Japan's case, they used a spear to latch onto the object and then reeled the craft into it - I think... I can't possibly keep up with all of this stuff in my retirement, but I think that's how it worked out. Also, I think they tried twice 'cause the first one fucked up - and I'm pretty sure it wasn't the first time they've speared something in space, or tried to. They tried to do it with space junk, but failed.
