2 asteroids near miss on Halloween 2015!

Not one, but TWO asteroids will rip past the Earth on Halloween, one at mere 1-lunar distance.

Next time you stand outside and admire the beauty of the night sky - try this for an exercise. Realize, I mean truly realize and try to ACCEPT the sheer HORROR that there is _nothing_ between you, and yes - THE FRICKEN UNIVERSE. No magic force field, no glass dome.

If you can comprehend this reality, the terror of this paralyzingly simple Truth, staring back at you, you will not be able to sleep that night.

You will lie in bed, paralyzed with fear thinking about how fragile and temporary our existence is. When a (relatively small) 10km Chicxulub rock smacked into Yucatan, Mexico 65m years ago, 80% of species on the planet were eliminated instantly, and the ones that survived suffered tremendously on a scorched planet (global firestorm, skies black with smoke) for 1000 years before atmosphere was restored to normal. 12 generations being born and dying without a sun or fresh air.

We are a microscopic flea in middle of the most horrifying battle field surrounded by billions of flying bullets and exploding nuclear bombs, stupidly looking around thinking "look at the pretty colors".

Next time you're feeling down, stop and appreciate how random and wonderful not just your life, but the existence of our species is.

Fuzzy warm stuff aside, I love earth but can we get another planet soon?

Support NASA, SpaceX and anyone else crazy enough working to make this a reality. You'd be crazy not to. I fucking love science.

Sweet dreams.

How to get anything on EBAY for free (and get away with it)

This article explains how to get anything for free on Ebay. This is very simple, proven and guaranteed to work. You can get, for example, an IPhone 4, a 64GB IPad 2, or even a Macbook Pro laptop for free. 1. If the seller does not use delivery confirmation, you already won. Just tell ebay you never received the item. They will always side with you (bhe buyer) and refund your money, including shipping, AT THE SELLER'S EXPENSE. There is nothing the seller can do. Ebay will not investigate further, they close the case. I have hard numerous reports of this happening. See this facebook thread and this article . The buyer now has no item, no money, and in addition he is out the cost of shipping. Totally screwed. 2. If you are dealing with a savvy seller, they will use delivery confirmation. Don't worry, you can still get your item for free. After you receive the item, open a case and claim the item broken. Let's use an IPhone 4 as an example. Open a claim and say the me...

How to hot start a Cirrus SR22

The SR22 does not like to normally start when the engine is hot. I use a simple procedure to hot start my SR22. My Method 1. Prime 5 seconds 2. Throttle 1/4" open, mixture cutoff. 3. Start cranking and slowly advance mixture. 4. Once engine starts to fire, go mixture rich. Honestly I developed this through trial and error, I don't know exactly why it works but it does. I think this works because the prime step pumps cold fuel through the system to cool it down. Then cranking the engine with mixture cutoff pushes all the fuel and air bubbles out of the system, leaving room for clean fuel to be pumped in through cold fuel lies. CPPP Method At the 2015 CPPP in Williamsport we learned about another trick. Hot engine means hot fuel lines, which vaporize fuel (literally, fuel boils, air bubbles form). Engine doesn't want to start with part fuel part air being pumped in. You must cool down your fuel lines first. 1. Throttle closed, mixture cutoff. 2. Run boost pum...
