Minarble, in NASA Brings Back Actual Sample Of Asteroid But Can't Open The Lid

Just put a length of scaff tube on the end of the spanner….lean into it real good.

If that fails it must be time for the BFH

If that fails get a BBFH

Then Scaff tube again

Then call old mate to smash it with a BBBFH while you lean on the scaff tube.

Kid I used to work with said:

“Hand me that torch. Can’t be seized-up if it’s dripping out in the floor.”

Pressurized airline fitting was just straight whoopin his fuckin ass…

I think he wore sunglasses in the shop so he could never see the lightyear-wide greenhorn shitstain he left in his wake. Been three years and I still find one of his fuckups every now and again. His tech manual for every vehicle was the top two or three hits on SploogeToob…

He’d definitely have that lid, the container it’s in and everything else in the lab turned to pure watery shit by now… “What do ya mean it’s contaminated? I used a thousand dollar MATCO grinder!!!”

Oddly enough, I miss that little motherfucker every now and again. He was definitely entertaining.

Yeah, you know he drove a fuckin Miata. Convertible…

Have they tried running it under hot water for a minute or so?

I’m the designated jar opener in my family, if they bring it to my couch while I’m watching the news, I’m sure I can get it open in a couple seconds. Then they can say the customary thank you, which is “oh, I must have loosened it.” and then leave.

CADmonkey,

“oh, I must have loosened it.” and then leave.

I take the jar, open it, say “That was easy, here, you try” before putting the lid back on really tight.

A little WD-40 should take care of it!

This headline makes it sound like the star has been rumbled counterfeiting Black Sabbath and Iron Maiden CDs 🤘

gravitas_deficiency, in Neutron Star Collision Caught Forging Heavy Metals in a JWST First

Wow, that neutron star should be more careful. I’m pretty sure counterfeiting heavily metals is illegal

themeatbridge, in The Moon is far older than we thought, scientists say

I have it on good authority that the Moon is a reincarnated 16 year old girl from the water tribe.

StealThisComment,

That’s rough, buddy.

I think it will never not blow my mind that south Texas is a legit space port. (That’s assuming it plays out as planned, of course. I think we still have to see if environmental concerns outweigh the development opportunity?)

Well, there’s a balloon launch site further up the coast in Wharton, I think, that they were calling a space port, but I always thought that was a little bit of humor. It’s different for me to imagine driving down to the valley to see a monster rocket go to Mars.

someguy3,

Space balls.

BeefPiano, in The Moon is far older than we thought, scientists say

Huh? We just got a new moon a couple weeks ago!

KingGordon,

We have moon at home.

StubbornCassette8, in Microgravity Can Permanently Mutate Bacteria And Make Them Faster Breeders

I’m not a biologist. The only context I have regarding rapid cellular reproduction in space is the 2017 movie “Life” where a fictional alien implies doom for humanity and all of Earth as we know it.

Are there any positives to this news? My understanding is that multi-celled organisms have a hard time repairing themselves in microgravity; bones in particular being affected among other processes. Hoping the research being conducted here helps advance medicine on that front.

I can only imagine what having the runs is like in space. Super powered E. coli coursing through your gut sounds extra…you know 💩

cnnrduncan,

Could potentially be used to create better strains of “good bacteria” such as the extremely important ones that make up the human gut microbiome. I could see it maybe being useful for the development of antibiotics and vaccines too!
