The sad thing is that according to Scott Manley video the areas it can hit are equatorial Africa or South of India, so lot of countries will try to ignore it

Until those countries start planning a meteor re route, which if done improperly could push the impact zone anywhere.

Am I being wooshed? It's impossible to get a flush with the two spades. Or the Aces.

Nah, you have it right. 4-5 needs runner runner 2-3 or 6-7

That aren't both hearts (aces can still make a flush)

Just needs a world card

Hearts but not for the 3% guy. Still low odds for a flush, yeah?

So what level of calamity are we talking about here? 3% doesn’t sound that low to me.

Well we wouldn't have to worry about global warming anymore

This size meteor would destroy a city but not have lasting planet-scale effects. Think Tonguska event.

I begin to worry when I see this asteroid still in the sky and how it becomes gradually bigger

Just when it was getting good too! One of these days...

An interesting thought is that if it actually hits, this might provide the impetus for some countries to get their shit together and get into space for good. Potentially changing the course of history.
