But you make a good point.
All we have to do is let Trumps win and wait.
I apologise. I shouldn't be joking about the Covid death toll there, but I'm so disgusted with Trump, the GOP, and the fucking idiots who deny the science, that there's not much I can say now.
Yesterday he had a gathering in Tampa, Florida and people were keeling over from the heat....his mission is to kill people one way or another.
Even as an extreme introvert and someone who is quite content at home, I am fatigued by this. Enough is enough, I don't even know where it is I want to go, I just know I am tired of not being able to go anywhere.
A few weeks ago went to dinner at the house of a couple we know and managed to socially distance the entire time.
Of course, it helped that their dining table is 16 feet long.

What would it mean if the asteroid hit the Kaaba?

The egg heads don't want to put a sail on the asteroid, they want to use the sail to focus sunlight on one spot. The area would heat up and start outgassing. Sounds like a rocket, don't it? The sail and controls wouldn't weigh as much as an Apollo capsule and we wouldn't have to retrieve it. Plus, being unmanned, we could put up a few decades before they're needed.

Piss on the damned asteroid! I won't be around in seven or eight years anyway.

I will be five or six reboots along by then. I'll have the writers put in a scene where Monster X explodes out of the asteroid and accidentally saves the Earth.
