since everyone is talking about laika and felicette, and i never hear people mention these two, i present to you belka and strelka (they have other names, but are known mostly by these two). they went to space, flew around the earth 17 times, landed back safely and lived to old age! and they deserve to be remembered too

In addition to living to old age, Strelka had puppies! Including Pushinka, who was presented to President Kennedy by Khrushchev in 1961 and has living dog-scendents to this day!

"What is the most resilient parasite? Bacteria? A virus? An intestinal worm?

An idea.

Resilient... highly contagious. Once an idea has taken hold of the brain it's almost impossible to eradicate. "

Went to my city's block party viewing of the 3rd place world cup match and it was such good vibes. The crowd was evenly split (I rooted for England and sat between two people rooting for France and in front of a Croatian lady wishing death to France and shouting expletives at them). The eastern European grandpa next to me was the absolute best and would high five my roommate for French goals and run to take calls from his doctor and then run back to the game. He gracefully admitted defeat at the end, and we all parted friends, satisfied that both teams played well and scored a LOT.

"There is a plague in this country of headlight brightness," she told the House Appropriations Commitee in July. "It is shockingly bright. If you look back to halogen light bulbs, you're reaching somewhere around 700 to 1200 lumens. New LED technology, these sons of b—s get to 12,000 lumens."

Gluesenkamp Perez brought the — it turns out — bipartisan issue as an amendment to the Transportation, Housing, and Urban Development Bill, asking the U.S. Secretary of Transportation to study the impact of headlight brightness and set a maximum brightness standard.

"It's not a binary choice between walking around in the dark and the fire of 1,000 suns," she said. "The standards on this have not been reformed since before I was born."

"To the best of my knowledge, that was the first show that truly approached the look of the TV show itself in terms of cinema in terms of, "How much of the story can we tell visually?" "How much can we make this look like not just a movie but a really wonderfully shot movie?" - Vince Gilligan on what he learned from The X-files
