I never knew the mechanism of action, but I’ve seen a llama spit in a surgical wound which then healed much quicker than it should have.

The temperature of LHS 1140 is 3,096 K (2,823 °C; 5,113 °F), and it has a luminosity of 0.0038 times that of the Sun

For comparison, the Sun is 1 solar mass and radius, has a temperature of 5778 K with 1 solar luminosity

The orbit of LHS 1140 b takes 24.737 days to complete, much quicker than Earth’s year of 365 days. Its orbital radius is at 0.0946 AU, or 9.46% the distance between Earth and the Sun. While this is quite close, the star LHS 1140 is so dim that the planet only gets 0.43 times the incident flux of Earth at this distance.[2] Assuming an albedo of 0, LHS 1140 b has an equilibrium temperature of 230 K (−43 °C; −46 °F), compared to Earth’s at 255 K (−18 °C; −1 °F). If LHS 1140 b has an albedo similar to that of Earth, the equilibrium temperature would be even lower, at 201 K (−72 °C; −98 °F). However, with a greenhouse effect at least as strong as Earth’s LHS 1140 b would have a surface temperature greater than 266 K (−7 °C; 19 °F) for an albedo of 0. Due to the high mass of the planet, it likely has a thicker atmosphere with a more powerful greenhouse effect.

It’s neat that it’s still potentially habitable with such different solar conditions.

Orca JDPON stay winning.

It always seemed weird to me that it would be formally developed so late. Like I’ve taken multiple trigonometry courses and can’t even define trigonometry let alone make sense of most of it, but the Pythagorean theorem is a purely intuitive thing everyone does regularly. The first person to take a diagonal shortcut while walking understood it. It should have been the first thing mathematics codified after basic arithmetic.

Looking forward to a repeat of the 420th Epic Reddit Brigade immediately having their barracks bombed.

Well the noble defenders are currently in need of more soldiers. Go enlist now if this is the war you think it is. Do you need help finding out how to?

Two birds, one poisoned stone.

Joe Biden: The Lesser of Two Evils

The attack Wednesday in the Gulf of Aden targeted a Barbados-flagged bulk carrier called True Confidence,

It was unclear why the Houthis targeted the True Confidence. However, it had been listed as being owned by Oaktree Capital Management, a Los Angeles-based fund purchases vessels and sells them back to firms on installments. Oaktree did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

[…]

Meanwhile, a separate Houthi assault Tuesday apparently targeted the USS Carney, an Arleigh Burke-class destroyer that has been involved in the American campaign against the rebels

The Houthi attack on the Carney on Tuesday involved bomb-carrying drones and one anti-ship ballistic missile, the U.S. military’s Central Command said.

The U.S. later launched an airstrike destroying three anti-ship missiles and three bomb-carrying drone boats, the Central Command said.

Highlighting that because the autogenerated subtext makes it seem like they got the destroyer instead of the American-owned but Barbados-flagged bulk carrier. At least the destroyer attack shows that they are fielding more sea drones so that will be coming at some point.

I raved next to a concentration camp and all I got was confused for the inmates who look exactly like me.

The scariest thing about liberal warmongering in Ukraine is that they not thought about the possibility of losing. All the money being lost for nothing, the weapons being lost to anyone with money, the massive group of war-hardened Nazis who blame the west for their loss, the re-invigoration of Russia after training it on how to defeat all of our weapons/tactics, the permanent refugees powering the far right the same way Syria has. They’re so psychotically devoted to this obviously hopeless war that they think they can win it by pretending to be dogs on twitter alone, with no Plan B if that doesn’t defeat a superpower. It hasn’t and it won’t. With each conscript they sacrifice, the survivors around them have one more valid reason to want to turn their drones westward.

Adjusted for inflation, OJ Simpson’s legal fees during his murder trial were about $10m. I wonder what kind of lawyers you could get for Assange with $45m.

Those things are terrifying. There’s a video out there of a transport truck that was hit. Behind the truck is a pile of corpses. They look in the back and it’s completely swiss-cheesed, full of corpses. The cameraman then walks around front and every inch of the truck had been struck by a tungsten ball that went straight through it. The engine block looked the same as the canvas top. 180k of them saturating an area with enough force to penetrate any kind of cover.

There are few people I trust less as a leader than the decaying husk of Jim Crow.

Kamala Harris is one of them. Cognitively I’m more concerned about her. I would be less likely to vote than I am now and my current plan is to vote for my dog.

Nobody except the Israeli Air Force is allowed to dunk on the victims of October “Git Sum” 7th.

Nobody’s going to stop Germany from missing out on a genocide.

Why would China want a habitable biosphere unless they were really planning to live in it?
