Y'all, the world is sleeping on what NASA just pulled off with Voyager 1
The probe has been sending gibberish science data back to Earth, and scientists feared it was just the probe finally dying. You know, after working for 50 GODDAMN YEARS and LEAVING THE GODDAMN SOLAR SYSTEM and STILL CHURNING OUT GODDAMN DATA.
So they analyzed the gibberish and realized that in it was a total readout of EVERYTHING ON THE PROBE. Data, the programming, hardware specs and status, everything. They realized that one of the chips was malfunctioning.
So what do you do when your probe is 22 Billion km away and needs a fix? Why, you just REPROGRAM THAT ENTIRE GODDAMN THING. Told it to avoid the bad chip, store the data elsewhere.
Sent the new code on April 18th. Got a response on April 20th - yeah, it's so far away that it took that long just to transmit.
And the probe is working again.
From a programmer's perspective, that may be the most fucking impressive thing I have ever heard.

I’m so sorry but in the nicest way possible do yall actually read books or just read words??? Cause I’ve been seeing that trend of people not understanding how “snarled” and “eyes darkened” and “eyes softened” etc. was used in a book and like…
Genuinely, do yall just not have imagination?? Or not understand figurative language??? Also eyes do literally darken and soften have you not lived a life??? How do you read with no imagination? Is this how you get through so many books in one month - you simply don’t take the time the understand the words as they are read?

you're 14 and have been karting since 4. everyone says you're brilliant. prodigy. too good. but then you crash at one of your races one day and your dad is angry. i mean, he's angry most of the times, he's one of those strict ones but today he's FURIOUS. so you're left all alone at a gas station. you're 14 and scared and somewhere in South Italy and it's getting darker and you've no one to call, no one to run to. everyone says you're exceptional but are you really? dad doesn't believe so. he says the only thing you're fit for is being a truck driver and dad knows best... right? RIGHT??
And you want to make him proud. you love racing, have loved it since 4, that's the only thing you've known since you're a baby so you work day and night for it. to make it all worthwhile. to make it. to make dad proud. and you do do it! you're so good you make an exceptional jump from f3 to f1, are the youngest grand prix winner. but you're also just 17, a baby. Ollie Bearman debuted at 18 and he was a wide eyed little boy, everyone wanted to wrap him up like a burrito and you're a WHOLE YEAR YOUNGER, a reckless teen and people hate you for it. you're 17 and in f1 and are hated. you're 26, a 3 time world champion and still hated. hated for being too perfect, too good, winning too much. you're alone at the gas station, you're alone at the top. will it ever end? what did u do wrong? why are they angry at you?

One day a random reel of a man hot as sin in black fireproofs pops up on your insta, next you're up at 3 am watching 20 rich guys make car go fast and are forever tormented by ‘friends, teammates, childhood buddies, rivals, everything but a lover.’

When Taylor Swift said
I guess a lesser woman would've lost hope A greater woman wouldn't beg But I looked to the sky and said Please I've been on my knees Change the prophecy Let it once be me
And when The Smiths said
So please, please, please Let me, let me, let me Let me get what I want This time Lord knows, it would be the first time

hot take: the FIA absolutely should not make the exception for kimi antonelli to be allowed to race before he turns 18.
the age limit in formula 1 being 18 is a recent-ish rule change that I genuinely, full-heartedly agree with and if we go around making exceptions to get a literal child into a seat just a couple of months before he would be 18, then the rule is redundant. his future in F1 isn't threatened by having to wait until august. williams are a mess but putting kimi in won't fix it. it would be idiotic to throw him into an F1 seat when he hasn't even raced half of his first F2 season yet.
talent takes you far but experience and practice take you further. we need to stop this obsession with hyper-young drivers or we're going to ruin them. max verstappen was the exception not the rule.
