Meet Our Dino-Sized Telescope!
This illustration shows the relative scale of the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope and a Tyrannosaurus rex. Roman is over 42 feet (12.7 meters) long â about the length of a T. rex â and over 14 feet (4.4 meters) wide when fully deployed. Roman also weighs around 18,000 pounds, or 8,000 kilograms (dry mass), which is the approximate mass of a T. rex as well.
Did you know NASAâs Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope is both roughly as long and as massive as a Tyrannosaurus rex? This observatory, which will move to the launch site at NASAâs Kennedy Space Center in Florida very soon, is over 42 feet (12.7 meters) long and weighs around 18,000 pounds (8,000 kilograms), not including the fuel. Letâs explore some of the components that bring Roman to T. rex proportions.

My high school theology teachers were much more dogmatic (didn't fall for it because I realized sex was awesome and the whole 'theology of the body' thing was made by people who never used theirs), but Catholic college sorted that out with some thoroughly awesome priests as professors.
remember when websites were written on purpose, and not generated by autocomplete in the instant you run the web search? anyway, unrelated, this webpage purporting to relay expert knowledge on which plants are safe for my snake's tank just told me I would know if he was biting them and getting irritated because he would start pawing at his mouth.
i mean, that sure would be a sign something was wrong

The problem with people and ai is that they need instant gratification, and ai gives them exactly that. They donât care about the process of creating anymore.
I have worked on a single piece of music for band for fourteen years. It totals about three minutes in length. I am not familiar enough with percussion instruments to really know how to write their part, but Iâve done the absolute best I can. Iâve asked for help from a few fellow musicians I trust.
My band test played it. It still needs some editing, but Iâm happy with how itâs turned out.
I wrote that music. Me. Not ai. Never ai.
Awesome!

It occurs to me that there are people who werenât on this website in 2012 and therefore never saw the magical gif that you can actually hear:
Itâs been over five years and that still impresses the hell out of me.
sending this to my lineman friendâŚ
Today at work a little crow fledgling was just having the worst damn day. The little goober kept trying to shove its way into the door and screaming at its reflection while I was helping a lady look at a bed.
I pointed it out to her and together we regarded the infant screaming.
After she left my coworker came up and informed me there was a bird on her car. I went out to look and lo, the fledgling had scrambled up onto her windshield and was pecking forlornly at its reflection.
It stayed perched there in the hot sun, trying to move higher up the car with no success but too scared to fly down. She was agitated that it was on her car since she didnât know if it would leave on its own.
âItâs a baby,â I told her, âItâs still learning how to fly.â
âThatâs a baby?! Itâs so big!â
âYeah, itâs just a little guy.â
I went out to investigate. The parents began screaming and swooping. I placated them with crackers which they accepted without relenting their screaming. My coworker said she could now see that the creature on her car was indeed a baby with the sleek black parents swooshing angrily around in the air.
We regarded the baby together. After a while I started noticing it was showing signs of fatigue and distress. Mouth gaping but not begging for food, wings drooping. I went back out to check on it.
I was debating moving the baby; the day kept getting hotter and it didnât have the energy or skill to relocate itself. My coworker also wanted the bird to stop pooping on her car. So eventually I announced, âIâm gonna move the bird.â
âYour gonna grab it? Arenât you scared?â
I looked at her in bafflement. I grew up around every imaginable kind of fowl. The only bird Iâd be scared of would be some of the big flightless ones. Even geese/swans are manageable if you just grab their necks before they really get flapping. The parents were not gonna go for my eyes like magpies and in general crows tend to recognize when youâre trying to help. âItâs just a little baby guy. Itâs fine.â
I approached the baby amidst its parents shrieking crow obscenities down upon me. I scooped it gently like the burger.
I cannot begin to convey how soft that baby crow felt. It was the downiest most pleasant tactile thing that Iâve maybe ever held and the experience was only slightly marred by the goober trying ineffectually to bite me. It was stymied by the fact that it ainât my first rodeo.
I brought it ten feet away to a nice shady tree. I held the baby gently so it could get its feet under it on the branch. It seemed a bit confused at this point but eventually gripped the branch and I stepped back and threw peanuts in self defense while the angry parents swooped showily around at me.
It stayed there pretty much the rest of the day. Its parents both checked in to make sure I hadnât murdered it then flew back to where we could see a nest. So best theory is that this dingus was the first to start fledging and couldnât actually return to the nest after launching.
I told my wife afterward and they went, âYou. You touched the bird?!â My coworkers husband was also flabbergasted that Iâd been brave enough to grab it. My coworker said she was just gonna shove it off her car with a broom.
As if they didnât know who they married. As if I am not someone who would confidently help a stray cat or wrangle a chicken.
I informed them that barring gloves I had thoroughly washed my hands twice and it was worth it to get the silly infant off a slippery car and into the shade.
You havenât seen that meme?
some hyper famous artists like Van Gogh transcend overratedness and become underrated because they're so normalized. Like I'll look at a van Gogh and I'm like wait this really is amazing you guys don't get it
Shakespeare is like this
Every time I see a Van Gogh thatâs not one of his better known pieces it absolutely blows me away
Have you seen this shit my liege? smh unreal

We need more ships where it's romantic for one half and platonic for the other and both parties are aware and ok with this
this is me and my partner and I am not even fucking joking. this is attainable. you can have this. you can have someone who loves you a little differently than you love them and you're both okay with it and it doesn't end anything. there should be ships like this because it does in fact happen in real life and you cant say it doesn't
Too late to be scrolling cuz I misread the above as being about a real ship (on the ocean) being made of two halves. I was quite invested in a romantic half-a-ship until I reset my brain to realise what the message said.
âfeeling like a person againâ collection
Surely that should be:-
Hair hâshed
Food fâten
Water wrÇnked
and then the sleep line
Periodic Trends
Elements, like us, canât resist a good trend. Unlike us, they physically cannot resist a trend. This is one of those things that you can just memorize, but I personally think itâs easier to understand the underlying reason.
Electronegativity
⌠how do I explain this without too much physical chemistry? Probably by ignoring it. For electronegativity, Iâll give the definition and the rule. If you want a better explanation, let me know and I can do my best to explain it, it may have to involve some physical chemistry. Electronegativity is the tendency of an atom to pull electrons towards itself. This is relevant in chemical bonds, but also it can be helpful for remembering atomic radius later on. Remember than fluorine (my favorite element!) is the single most electronegative element. As an element gets further from fluorine on the periodic table, it gets less electronegative. Scoot hydrogen a little bit, but itâs pretty much solid to remember it that way. The transition metals also get kinda weird, donât worry about them for right now.
Shielding
Imagine a bonfire with concentric circles of people standing around it. If the nucleus is the fire and the electrons are the people, this is a good metaphor for shielding. The stronger the nucleus (more protons), the larger and hotter the fire is. The farther out the valence electrons are from the fire, the more rows of people are between the valence electrons and the fire. If youâre far out, youâll feel colder, but the same distance out with a stronger fire, youâll feel warmer. So. The âwarmerâ an electron âfeelsâ, the more tightly itâs being pulled towards the nucleus. As you move from left to right, the valence electrons are the same number of shells out from the nucleus, but the nucleus keeps getting more protons. Someone standing next to you around the fire doesnât diminish the heat you feel, just how more electrons in the same shell donât really shield one another. The whole shielding effect comes from protons attracting electrons, and electrons repelling other electrons. Itâs also related to the distance and attraction curve. Just like magnets, the farther opposite charges get, the weaker the attraction is. Weak attraction between the nucleus and electrons keeps them farther apart, and the farther distance weakens the attraction. Weird. Letâs head out before the chemistry gets too far into physical chemistry.
Radius (Size)
Ok! We actually mostly covered this with shielding. At least the left-to-right part. The stronger the shielding, the smaller the atomic radius. Nobles gasses are larger than alkali metals in the same row (also called period). The more electron shells an atom has, the bigger it is. Lower periods are larger than higher periods. Based on this, we can say francium (Fr) is the largest element, and excluding hydrogenâs weirdness, helium should be the smallest element.
Die temu ad die
Hmm. Accidentally looks like latin.
It accidentally is latin
Accidental latin is my new favourite thing.
Found this in the margins of a medieval manuscript.
This is a very charming illustration and I do approve of Accidental Latin, but unfortunately, that is not what this (Fake) Accidental Latin actually says. Google Translate seems to think "temu" is identical to "timor" (infinitive, "to fear"), which would then be conjugated in first-person singular as "timeo" ("I fear"). "Temu" is not a word in Latin. So that is a very weird leap on Google Translate's part to turn gibberish into... something vaguely etymologically similar sounding? Hmm.
Next, "die" does mean "day," though nominative singular is "dies," i.e. "dies irae." It could be conjugated "die" if it was in ablative or locative case, but "die ad die" would mean something more like "day to day." "Ad" is in a "to" direction and "ab" is from, i.e. "ab urbis," and ablative case is used to indicate the movement of a thing. In short, "by" is not really a way to translate "ad"; we might want "per" here? (Through, by means of, etc.)
Not to mention, it would be weird to put one "die" at the start and another at the end The verb also usually goes at the end in Latin sentences, just for that extra bit of fun. So yes, in short, this is not actually Latin, and Google Translate is very bad at Latin in particular. Nonetheless, still charming.
@theshitpostcalligrapher
Agree, @qqueenofhades, except on the matter of breaking âdie ad dieâ apart. Itâs a common structure in poetic and oratorical Latin to jam one phrase in the middle of another. I canât think of an example exactly parallel to this construction, but I could believe a Roman poet would write it!
Ah, that is true. My Latin is of the reading-medieval-documents (particularly charters and/or chronicles) variety, where the sentence and usage structures are often more formulaic and there is less poetic license to move words around. There is obviously far less fixity for word order in Latin, since the conjugations explain how they grammatically relate to each other rather than placement in the sentence. (Coincidentally, this is why I used to say that the best feeling in the world was walking past a Latin classroom and not having to go inside it. Ahem.)
So yes: true that poetical Latin might be more at liberty to split the "die"-s up that far, though "timeo" (verb) is still more likely in most cases to go at the end, which would place them together anyway ("die ad die timeo," "day to day I fear" if translated in strict word order, which would make sense to an English speaker and sound more poetic anyway). Keep in mind, however, that my Latin is a) fairly rusty and b) mostly used for said formulaic legal document reading rather than freeform verse, so don't super-hard quote me on this.
I saw that ablative âdieâ and that final -u on âtemuâ and thought of the ablative supine (as in âmirabile dictuâ) but as you observe, there isnât a verb that âtemuâ could be, and then also, the ablative supine requires an adjective, as far as I know.
But perhaps âtemuâ is a hapax legomenon (in which case we would need the rest of the text to gloss it) or a scribal error for temeratu, from temero, âI defile or disgraceâ. In that case, and in true Tumblr form, I might translate it as âdaily I disgrace, in the manner of the dayâ, with some errors attributable to the scribe.
....oh my god. You might be a genius. Because what else does Tumblr do but daily disgrace [itself, oneself, and/or numerous others] in the manner of the day, and make numerous scribal errors.
how dare you say we error on the scribes
this is what happens when you buy your latin on temu
Delightful little post.
Gazpacho. It's served like that.

My husbandâs job primarily employs adult men but there is one (1) teenage girl and my husband said originally he worried she might be a bit of an outcast but instead every man on the crew was like âhuh guess I am a dad/older brother now.â
She was in a car crash on the way to work one morning and called my husband to let him know sheâd be late and he was like wtf guess Iâm gonna be late too because Iâm coming to pick you up and then he told his team and they were like I think you mean WE are coming.
Imagine you are a teenage girl probably rushing to get to work and you crash your probably new car and feel absolutely miserable and now youâll be late to work but then suddenly in the distance a car full of all the adult men you work with just pulls up and is like âwe came all the way here to pick you upâ the mental image right now is fr.
Apparently she tried to call her dad but it was 3am and he was obviously sleeping so she called my husband and he not only came to find her but fished her glasses out of the hood of the car (sheâd dropped them while looking inside), drove her to the hospital, and told her to take the day off. She insisted on coming back to work so he used his lunch break to watch TV with her to make sure she didnât doze off (concussion risk).
Youâve heard of the Mom friend but my husband is very much the Dad friend. He said when he answered the phone she said âhey please donât be madâ and heâs never felt such powerful Fatherhood energy in his life.
Girl: *calls for aid*
Every single dad packed into the car:
This is possibly my favorite response to this post
This girls father: Thanks for helping my daughter out guys
Your husband and all his coworkers:
Hey Christian men,
When we say we are praying and hoping for a resurgence of Biblical masculinity *THIS* is what we mean.
Apparently a lot of people get dialogue punctuation wrong despite having an otherwise solid grasp of grammar, possibly because theyâre used to writing essays rather than prose. I donât wanna be the asshole who complains about writing errors and then doesnât offer to help, so here are the basics summarized as simply as I could manage on my phone (âdialogue tagâ just refers to phrases like âhe said,â âshe whispered,â âthey askedâ):
âFor most dialogue, use a comma after the sentence and donât capitalize the next word after the quotation mark,â she said.
âBut what if youâre using a question mark rather than a period?â they asked.
âWhen using a dialogue tag, you never capitalize the word after the quotation mark unless itâs a proper noun!â she snapped.
âWhen breaking up a single sentence with a dialogue tag,â she said, âuse commas.â
âThis is a single sentence,â she said. âNow, this is a second stand-alone sentence, so thereâs no comma after âshe said.ââ
âThereâs no dialogue tag after this sentence, so end it with a period rather than a comma.â She frowned, suddenly concerned that the entire post was as unasked for as it was sanctimonious.
And!
âIf youâre breaking dialogue up with an action tagââshe waves her hands back and forthââthe dashes go outside the quotation marks.â

Thank you
Oh my god thank you. No wonder grammarly keeps complaining about my punctuation when I boot my writing up into word counter
