MERRY CHRISTMAS:

FROM ME, A CHRISTMAS THANK YOU TO, WELL, YOU.

HOME ALONE, EXPLAINED: “One fan theory posits that Peter McCallister is involved with organized crime. Under this theory, the McCallister home was specifically targeted as some sort of vendetta, and Kevin’s brutal violence against the burglars is the product of an upbringing exposed to criminal activity. The Times could not rule out this theory.”

MERRY CHRISTMAS:

JOHN LUCAS: “Did you know that I saved Bob Hope’s life 54 years ago in Vietnam, on Christmas Day 1970? And, I might add, Ann Margret’s, too. This is the story. And like all good war stories, it starts out with ‘This is no s**t. . . .'”

Oggi, su Il Sole 24 Ore, racconto perché Elon Musk sta creando una ricchezza enorme.
Per comprarsi un’isola? Una mega barca? Un super aereo? No.

Lo fa per realizzare ciò che molti “buoni” dicono di voler fare, ma non fanno: risolvere il problema della povertà sulla Terra pic.twitter.com/sDDxqOpLGS

Translation: “Today, in Il Sole 24 Ore, I explain why Elon Musk is creating enormous wealth. To buy himself an island? A mega yacht? A super plane? No. He does it to achieve what many ‘good’ people say they want to do, but don’t: solve the problem of poverty on Earth.”

I mean, using rotation to generate centrifugal force pseudogravity goes back at least to von Braun, and maybe Tsiolkovsky.

HAVE YOURSELF A MERRY LITTLE CHRISTMAS.
