Wait a minute, they shot at Venus around noon?
That makes no sense at all. Venus orbits closer to the Sun than Earth does. This means when looking at Venus we are always looking towards the Sun. For this reason Venus is very visible during sunrise or sunset (depending on the position of Venus), so the Sun is behind the horizon whilst Venus isn't. As soon as the Sun gets above the horizon it becomes much harder to see Venus, because the Sun is much brighter in the sky and Venus is near it. When Venus is far away from the Sun, as we see it in our sky, it's also a very pronounced crescent, so they wouldn't mistake it for a balloon.
This sounds like a story someone made up somewhere, but has now been repeated so many times it's hard to tell if it's real or not.
Really? I never heard that before. What would they care about how their caps are? I can't see it having any impact on them at all. A lot of people got pissed about it when Coca Cola was one of the first to change the caps in line with the regulation, so if anything it hurt Coca Cola.
Also even though large corporations are almost always totally evil, it's not impossible for them to do something good as well. Probably not for the right reasons, but still, one thing doesn't exclude the other.
Isn't the proper technical term a "spaghet"?
He has been known to have been rushed to the hospital once, because he kinda forgot how to breathe.
Are these fully laden?
Why does the second picture look like it's rendered on PS3?
The monkey paw curls: all insects and other "bugs" are gone now, the food chain collapses bottom up and the human race is just about extinct within 10 years.
The look on his face tells me you walked in on him mid-poop
+1 for FreeRDP, I use it all the time!
And they kept him around even when his results were consistently terrible. If that's not protecting the driver, then what it is? Sergio hasn't gotten the message on how F1 works these days, either you are at top performance or you are gone.
She died about 10 years ago. I love and have loved all the pets I've ever had, but Pyxel was something special. She was very headstrong and did whatever she felt like, getting pissed off if you did something she didn't like. But when she was in the mood she would be the sweetest thing in the world.
She was saved from the dumpster, along with her mother and brother. The mother had to be put down and a lot of the brothers and sisters didn't make it from being dumped in a trash bag. But Pyxel and her brother made it and we adopted them from the rescue when they were very young still.
I remember Pyxel sleeping for hours in my lap, or in the cat bed on my desk. When I was working from home, she slept in the cat bed, till she got fed up, went for a drink and a snack only to get back and jump in my lap because it was her time and she would let me know it.
Still miss her every day.

Nah that article is about Venus being in a weird position where you can both see it around sunset and sunrise, usually it's one or the other. Venus visible at noon is a no-go except in something like a solar eclipse or a high altitude balloon or something.
It is possible to spot Venus during the day, if it's further away from the Sun (as viewed from Earth). It is bright enough to be visible during the day (just like the Moon and even the ISS and Jupiter under the right conditions), but is usually very close to the sun so it's completely blown out. When it is further from the Sun, it's a very noticeable crescent shape. So I doubt anyone would mistake it for a balloon, especially someone who has the job of watching the skies for such things.
And come to thing of it, how large did they think it was and how accurate can they shoot at long range with a boat? Even if it was a balloon, you wouldn't attack it from range right? You would wait for it to come closer and hit it with anti aircraft shells. It's just a very weird story.
