Some astronomers are looking at JWST data and claiming they are seeing galaxies with red shifts in the range of 11-20, which if accurate, correspond to ages older than we'd expect to see galaxies of such size formed. Other astronomers disagree, and believe that the results aren't so clear. This the "hubble tension" or "crisis in cosmology" maybe still live on.

It is exciting, either we get more data to confirm our current understanding or we need to discover be physics and form new theories that align with the data. Either way is great, imo.

We estimate the age of some stars to be older than the estimated age of the universe. JWST observations have also made it "worse". https://youtu.be/hps-HfpL1vc?si=H9tdTD3DJYLkalvx

That last bit is the important thing. If someone tells you pronouns, use them. If someone tells you they prefer "they/them" and you keep using he or she on purpose, you are disrespecting them.

We all make mistakes sometimes and most people I've met who use alternative pronouns that may conflict with their socially expected appearance don't mind correcting someone a few times or will brush it off a few times, but more than that, especially if you see and interact with this person regularly, you become an asshole.

Yes, but no. My company is working in a proprietary engine, so there is almost no one we can hire with that engine experience, but we still want people who became familiar and strong with other engines because they can do it again with ours.

Don't be too discouraged by this, but start learning your next engine.

Not in my experience so far, it will still use the original class slot for that spell.

I don't mind driving, especially through the mountains. So I don't really think twice driving for 3 hours each way to spend an hour apple picking, for instance.

To hit the sun, you'd need an object to cancel out all of the speed it has as part of orbiting with the earth around the sun, so that it could fall in. That 29.78km/s requires a lot of fuel to achieve, getting into orbit of earth only requires around 8km/s of delta-v.

So to go from an earth orbit to fall into the sun would require more than twice as much fuel as it took to get from the ground into that orbit in the first place.

If you want a more in depth dive, with more a focus on why shooting nuclear waste into space is a very bad idea: https://youtu.be/Us2Z-WC9rao

Don't scribe all spells until the level up bug gets fixed. If you have no spells to choose upon leveling up, you can't level up that character.

Just the 100g cost as far as I can tell. Sometimes it might make story beats weird, like if a character naturally is a warlock, their patron might show up even if you changed them to fighter.

I do wonder if M$ might take some of the blizzard IP that have been stagnant and give them to some of their studios to give a try with.

As I understand it, there is a way to format links that will open the community on your current instance. I've seen people say that, anyway, but don't know what that link format is.
