@piggo they're all being replaced. I think they shifted.
My car is repairable. No frame damage. Huge hit in a small area which I thought would have buckled the unibody. The shockwave broke the interior trunk liner. It will however be a while due to large number of parts and the ongoing CDK outage. Had the wheel and transfer case been dinged it would have pushed it over the underwriter's number. As it happens it did not even lose alignment. So lucky.
@BakerRL75 @DismalManorGang It is here down in SW PA. A touch cooler too.
@yngmar Hope the rest of your day and weekend is better.
@gwensnyder God what else have they done that was too grizzly for the press release?
Today in 1969, 55 years ago: in London, the British band Pink Floyd releases the album Music from the film "More".
An uncanny blobfish crafted from the flesh of man: exactly what we needed from science at the moment
@baldur I love this
When a proton and neutron crash into each other, they can stick together and make a deuterium nucleus. After another proton and neutron hit this, you get helium. That's how helium was made in the early Universe. But there was a bottleneck which limited this process!
About 15 seconds after the Big Bang, it cooled down enough for antimatter to go away. Then all we had was protons, neutrons, electrons and a shitload of light.
But neutrons are unstable - they decay into protons - so it was a race against time to make deuterium by smacking protons and neutrons together. And it was still way too hot. All that energetic light destroyed the deuterium nuclei as fast as they got made!
Only later, 3 minutes and 45 seconds after the Big Bang, did it cool down to the point where deuterium nuclei become stable. Alas, by then most of the neutrons had decayed. There were about 7 protons for every neutron.
At this point, most of the remaining neutrons quickly combined with protons and made deuterium and then helium. But a lot of protons were left without dance partners! So the universe was roughly 3/4 hydrogen and 1/4 helium.
By then, it had cooled down too much for heavier elements to be formed. This only happened much later, in stars. And the universe is still roughly 3/4 hydrogen and 1/4 helium... with a tiny bit of other stuff.

@Tattooed_Mummy Where is my flying car this sucks
@Gelatinousrube Reminds me of Sunday opening when I did bar work. The pissheads stacked on the door like zombies, shuffling about and groaning.
@Gelatinousrube They'll all be there.
@onepict Ughhhhh
@HebrideanHecate Close the borders
@BernardSheppard@mastodon.au @zeljkazorz I mean, a consultant could do *that*
@andyc There's a point where you just want to live.
FOSS, motorbikes, and photography.
