I saw a discussion about the calculation of the probability of an asteroid impact, and because the accuracy of the prediction increases over time as more observations are made, the typical graph shows an increasing likelihood of impact until the accuracy is enough to determine the asteroid will miss, when the probability (obviously) drops to zero.
So I'm sort of comforted each time I hear that the impact likelihood has edged up a bit, because that means there's more orbit info, and the calculation is a bit more accurate, and hopefully a bit closer to determining that it will definitely be a near miss.

Nah, it's been temporarily set to "easy" in anticipation of your arrival - haven't you seen the news about the lost hiker surviving in Kosciusko National Park for 2 weeks on a couple of muesli bars ?

Don't make the mistake of noting where the huntsman is, and expecting it to be there or nearby when you next pass by.
They have an innate quantum entanglement ability, and can appear several rooms away in the time it takes for you to stop actively focusing on them.
Just diffuse your awareness of your zero-cost, chemical-free, environmentally aware huntsman friend to "I am blessed with many huntsmans in my house", and you are less likely to be surprised at the next location.

A Tim Tam ball is a close relative of the chocolate spider - the only Aussie spider that won't kill you¹
Also, not related to fizzy drinks + icecream, and totally SFW.
¹Well, not with venom or necrosis. Maybe subtly and gradually, via atherosclerosis.

Maybe her clown-name can be

And *more* details:
"Goodson had declared that she was carrying cat, squirrel and rabbit parts on her incoming passenger card, but failed to mention the gun."
"The court also heard that she previously owned two other guns while living in the States, but she had accidentally given them away.
"Those guns I ended up giving away, because I accidentally left them in a donation box."

Huntsman spiders usually don't kill you.
Unless you aren't expecting them to drop onto you when you're driving, and flip the sunvisor down …
Even then, it's not the spider that actually kills you.

If you remove the advertising/financial connotations from the word "influencer", then I have been influenced more by people on Mastodon than any prior social media:
I now often go for bike rides when the weather is not perfectly wonderful, because of a guy who rides every day.
I've found, looked at, and intend to swim in the local ocean baths, because of a lady up the coast who frequently swims and posts pictures which make her ocean baths look pretty wonderful.
I've read several books because of people here waxing lyrical about them.
I've made a chilli dipping sauce, because a lady on here suggested that to me.
So, for me, the influencing on Mastodon is more … "authentic"?

I chuckled at the first few Charlotte Dobre YouTube videos about scenarios like this.
But then I felt sad when I realised that there are thousands of people who think this is entirely normal, and that they *deserve* to be the centre of everyone's universe for the foreseeable future¹ because of their wedding.
¹Weddings have anniversaries, and one's minions must spend time and money to share the happiness all over again. With special matching one-off anniversary outfits, in another country. And of course the invitees will be paying for all the expenses and experiences for the blessed aniversary celebrant.

This morning the count is over 23,000 and the replies are still coming in every few seconds.
