  • Technically the nearest galaxy to us doesn’t have a name, just a designation, and is only like 10,000 stars, but it’s currently about 10,000-15,000 light years away, so we’re actually closer to the center of that galaxy than we are to our own, and possibly were closer to everything in that galaxy than we are the center of The Milky Way. The Milky Way is expected to absorb that galaxy into itself in the next few hundred million years though, IIRC.

    Also Andromeda and The Milky Way are already “touching” each other.

    Ahh, that makes sense. Here in the US it’s sold in tiny bottles in shops all over as fingernail polish remover, but that stuff is crazy expensive. Like $3.99 for 6-8 oz of the stuff. A gallon costs me $20. I guess it is kinda hazardous if used improperly. I used to use it to make hash back in the late '90s early '00s, these days I use it to clean pipes and other things.




  • My gf and I went on a car trip through the south of the US way back in '99-'00. At some dinky little roadside gas station/ store/ wide spot in the road, we grabbed a brownie mix called “Mississippi Mud Fudge Brownie Mix.” I am now spoiled, and normal brownies are just a sad reminder of the best brownies ever.
