Yes, the podcast I was watching explained that the center travels OUTSIDE of the actual sun in a helical pattern.

Cool! 👍
Can I accurately assume that the center of orbit is based on the mass of the major objects in the solar system?
If so, Jupiter's mass is about 1/1047th of the sun and the rest of the system is smaller.
(Assuming wiki is correct) the sun is 99.86% of the mass of the solar system.

That 'orbital center' is close enough to the sun to be turned to a cinder on the way, imo. ;^)

Ofc... You piss of Rah, and he starts throwing stuff at you. LOL.
100% agree, the other argument I resonated with, was that we are MOVING through our galaxy, and we definitely move through areas with more meteors, and even other suns, blackholes, etc. ALL of this can have an impact on us, and it would be really hard to know how to attribute since we were not there.

My new "fun fact" is that we do not orbit the sun!
We orbit the center of gravity between the sun and Jupiter. (Technically, the center of gravity of our solar system, but it's mostly comprised of the Sun and Jupiter).

That's crazy...

Sure but most of the "Blaming of meteors" was actually impactors from the sun during the Solar Micronova.
Volcano's change everthing also but they too are perturbed by the SUN !
no wonder the anchients worshiped the Sun?!?!?!

Well, the sun and the meteors. I believe a big enough meteor strike... Alters the climate...
Right?

Asking for a Friendly Dino long passed...

We first have to separate Climate and Weather. We can have a very small impact upon local weather (ie Cities, etc) but we can not have any impact upon Climate which can be described as long term weather patterns. For that we look to the Sun; the main driver of most everything upon earth.
As you may be aware, I have been involved in learning about Cycles of weather, here on earth and out in space, ie the sun and galaxy resulting in catastrophes.

Thanks for sharing, Carl.
Regarding Climate Change -- we need to ensure that we not become Simpletons (low-resolution thinking) like that of so many Progressives who have the habit of reducing climate change to essentially one cause (anthropogenic) and once solution (taxation and its sundry forms including economically and environmentally debilitating "clean green solutions"). The climate is changing, it has been changing, it will continue to change. This is just reality. However - it is beneficial to seek out the various sources or inputs to that change, the types of changes, such as weather patterns that can last for decades, and how to address these changes -- including forms of adaptation.

Great way to start the weekend. Still chuckling over all of them, can't pick a favorite. Thanks for lightening our week long load:)

Excellent bunch, as always, OUC! Thanks!

I never knew that first one existed, but I do know that it definitely needs A LOT more divisions...

All good ones, OUC. Nice start to my day. The fine line made me laugh as well as the three pillars and the shaving bit, LOL. The last one is truth to be experienced by AI even if woke crept in and mixed the singular phrase "a woman" with the plural "they are", LOL. Thanks for your work, OUC!

These were all great. Nice to know who Hasan Piker really is… We should have known.
Still laughing over the fraction of people who know the fine line. That was truly funny.

Great variety. Liked the last one.

Branco be me the dino's favorite editorial cartoonist.
And methinks here we see him at his awesome best.

look forward to AI discussion of the last one !

👍 Here's to shaving!
Thanks, OUC!
