'Out Of Gas'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
But if it were, say, a light-year away, we wouldn't know it had gotten there until a year later, right?
According to google and my back of the envelope calculations, Saturn is (on average), 0.000135 light years from Earth. That would be about 1hr 10mins for a signal to get back. The current actual distance may be larger or smaller (I think larger - I saw 1hr 24mins quoted as the current signal lag).
Right now, Saturn is approx. 67 light-minutes from Earth.
Thanks, dcp! Though I don't know how to take that in regards to your tag.
When I got home, I checked the temperature, and it was 62 degrees. Two hours later, it is 42 degrees.
Cindy, I'm ascared of what's going to happen when we hit deep freeze again. My parking lot is a lake right now. It's going to be messy.
As of 2002, the furthest space probe from earth (Voyager 1, launched in 1977) was about 12 light hours from earth.
We are wondering if B5 Season 5 is worth it to buy, or if we should Netflix it. there's a completist urge to get it, but I hear that it isn't very good.
I'd say if you have the option of buying a single disc that has "Sleeping in Light" (the series finale) on it, it would be worth Netflixing the rest and then buying that. But I wouldn't lay out the money for a box set.
After I plugged in my lefty-liberal/weather-avoidant/mid-size-town data, Find your spot told me to move to Eugene, OR, or Corvallis, OR. Either of which sound great if I could get work thereabouts.
Lee, I've recently fallen for the OC, too, and Amyth recently lent me her season one DVDs. So I'm having the fun of watching Seth's trainwreck meeting with Summer's dad in an older episode and then hearing it referenced in last night's episode. Bless those writers who feed me bits of continuity!
Hearing Sandy sing last night was loads of fun. I can totally imagine him in Guys and Dolls.
I hadn't seen the OC in quite a while so last night was surprising and fun. My Sandy love is great.

Dear Adam "Gutbuster" Connors,
We regret to inform you that you have not been selected as a member of this year's class. Training to be part of the X-Men team is difficult and, unfortunately, your mutant ability to spew large amounts of mildly offensive fumes from your rectum is somewhat duplicative seeing as we have a janitor named Carl with the same—albeit involuntary—ability. In addition, Wolverine can be rather ripe at times, which, in small confined spaces, might overshadow your talents. Thank you for your interest in Xavier's School of Exceptional Youth.
After I plugged in my lefty-liberal/weather-avoidant/mid-size-town data, Find your spot told me to move to Eugene, OR, or Corvallis, OR. Either of which sound great if I could get work thereabouts.Does it tell you in email, because I really don't want to give another place my email address. I got that far, and then backed out.
No, it tells you on the screen. Just put in anything.
