Well, a billion kilometers is almost 7 times the mean distance between the earth and the sun. Asteroids pass in that distance all the time. We're currently closer to Ceres (the dwarf planet) than that and its on the other side of the sun from us.

And how much gasoline are you refining in your backyard on those cloudy days?
Kidnapping is a crime.
Toothpaste companies give free products to freshly graduated dental students, then ask them if they would recommend it. They get a bunch of "sure, whatever, yeah" replies and boom, "9 out of 10 dentists recommend! We can't say 10 out of 10 because legal says that opens us up to lawsuits."

> American college kid by himself in Italy for a week
> Staying at hotel with Italian hottie at the front desk
> Hell yeah, love this country
> Eating all the pizza cause that's Italian food, right?
> The pizzas are so goddamn thin
> Like eating a sheet of paper
> Eat an entire pizza and still hungry
> This goes on for like three days
> Tired of being hungry
> New pizza place, order three entire pizzas
> "They'll just think I'm picking up for my friends"
> Get my pizzas, hell yes
> Walk back to hotel
> Walk past the front desk carrying three pizzas
> Front desk hottie knows I'm there alone
> Cover blown
> Go up to my room and eat all three pizzas in shame
> Finally fucking full
Worth it.
I haven't seen a Darths & Droids reference in the wild in a while.
I remember just cackling the first time I read their Episode I comics.
Have you played Caesar 3 with the Augustus mod? Its like a whole new game. It adds a ton and there's even a whole fan-made campaign.
I have somewhere in the neighborhood of 300 mods installed for Rimworld. The in-game mod management system is pretty basic and simply does not cut it. Definitely interested in more management options.
There are islands out there. If you truly think you would prefer that life you can just... go do it.
You don't even need an island. You could wander off into the jungle of Vietnam and never hear from society again.
Extremely disappointed to discover that this isn't by the other Edward Teach. Please give me Blackbeard's extensively sourced treatise on porn.
Hello there, sounds like you're experiencing survivorship bias.
Its rare for you to see this, sure. Same for everyone else. But people aren't here to post screenshots of "look at this website where I didn't get flagged for having an ad blocker." So we just see a lot of screenshots where it is a problem, because that's what is noteworthy. There isn't someone out there getting flagged on every single website they open, we're just sampling a large population of user for only the websites where people do get flagged.
Why are we talking about this at all? Because it is becoming more common and more intrusive. This example is particularly egregious because you're already on the website to give them money. They're complaining to the user they they don't get to make money off of them while taking their money, which is ridiculous.

What? Not it's not. Where did you get this number?
It's more like 6.7 AU. Source
In other words somewhere between Jupiter and Saturn in terms of distance to the sun.
