[00:29:52] <chromas> And quantum effects are just a result of floating point math

[16:36:59] <RandomFactor> I believe putting the 'read the full story' linkback on the exerpt and avoiding adding framing to it would meet their guidelines, and be worth doing out of courtesy (although TMB is correct that they cannot constrain fair use), but I think imposing specific unusual requirements for your site is

[21:20:29] <RandomFactor> Rumors of a “mutiny” that took place aboard the Skylab space station in the 1970s have persisted for nearly half of a century. A cursory search turns up dozens of references to the event, with many sources claiming the astronauts went on strike, purposefully turning off their radios and refusing to
[21:20:29] <RandomFactor> talk to ground control for periods ranging from 90
[21:20:29] <RandomFactor> minutes to a full day. During this time, the astronauts reportedly lounged around, often staring out the window at an endless black void encasing the bountiful blue marble below them.
[21:20:30] <RandomFactor> That’s how the legend goes, at least. And it’s undoubtedly a great story. But did it really happen?
