Cancer reacted to Cygnia in A Thread for Random Mooings
Back in my e-wrestling days, one of the comedy feds I was in, someone ran "La Vaca Loca" with his finisher "Over the Moo-nsault"

Cancer got a reaction from Logan D. Hurricanes in Hey Cancer, quit trying to destroy the universe!
Another interstellar object seen, incoming
It's on a very hyperbolic orbit (e ~ 3.67), which means it's moving fast, or would be if it got close to the Sun. (Don't get in its way.) This one won't get as close as the orbit of Mars, just over 2 AU out.
Call it a practice shot.

Elk is larger, and beyond that, depends on the environment each is from. That sounds stupid and obvious, but it's true.
The elk green chile we made a month or two back was great. (We'd had the ground elk in the downstairs freezer for a while and made chile because the peppers & tomatillos were in season.)

Bad news: No game tomorrow.
Good news: We don't have to share the banana bread!

Cancer reacted to Tjack in The RPG Trauma Unit
I get what you’re saying, It’s just that when Vampire first hit it seemed like a magnet for the most unpleasant people.
It was a way for the biggest a-holes to passive aggressively behave in the worst manner, and if I never have to see another teenage poser with an Anne Rice novel in his back pocket, face painted white and his hair moussed to look like the lead singer from the Cure wandering around Harvard Sq. With their arms folded muttering “I’m invisible” I’ll die a happy old fart.

Cancer got a reaction from DShomshak in More space news!
Very briefly, the presence of a cloud deck means the path length of the light through the atmosphere is less than the full geometric depth of the atmosphere, which can alter the strength of the absorption features in the observed spectrum. Also, a cloud deck can alter the broadband color of the atmosphere, depending on the size (but not composition) of the particles making the clouds; wavelengths much smaller than the size of the cloud particles are scattered differently than wavelengths longer than the cloud particle size (see "Rayleigh scattering").

And where do we post pictures of clams if they got legs?

Re: "Neat" Pictures
He passed away at 80, not 70, but otherwise it seems correct.
EDIT: Oh, and it seems to neglect to mention his commanding officer Bruce Crandall, who flew with him and is apparently still alive. Oh, and who, in another battle, picked up some more pinned down soldiers
So: he landed, twice, at night in a spot with trees so think MedEvac wouldn't land during the day, without search or landing lights, guided in by a flashlight.

It would ... but it represents a better-than-expected choice, in that the OS is no longer subject to arbitrary updates at random times!!

Water vapor detection claimed for a "rock" composition, habitable zone planet
The technical preprint is linked in the Star Hero "Space News" thread.

Water vapor claimed detection for an 8-earth-mass planet orbiting a M2.5V star
Planet's in a 33-day orbit; this is a star from the extended Kepler mission (from which it was a habitable zone candidate) with subsequent observation & analysis from other sources.
That link is to the arXiv preprint so it'll be a thick read, but it shows the transit lightcurve as a function of wavelength and the reconstruction of the planet spectrum.

Cancer got a reaction from L. Marcus in Complicate the Person Above
L. Marcus was kicked out of the Hälsingland Anti-Erotic Furry Coalition for asking ... "for a friend" ... if it was technically not a furry if it had tentacles but no actual fur.

Should have had him smoking a joint. Then they'd be high koala tea.

Meanwhile, for the first time in six or eight years, we have a new kitten in the house. She has already demonstrated that she has quite the voice.

This town needs a circle drive named "Loop Garoo".
