It seems as though all the people from northern states that come here for vacation are also majority conservative. Summers suck here. My choices are: Southern twang-speaking Trump supporter or NY/NJ-accented Trump supporter. It is awful.

Jupiter has always intrigued me the most, out of all of the planets in the solar system. Simply a mass and size that is hard to comprehend, and immense pressures and fuck knows what else under the surface.

Jupiter is three times as massive as all if the other planets and dwarf planets combined.

Still, if you put all the planets next to each other between the Earth and the moon, you would not reach the moon.

Speaking of space between things, there is a great doc on Amazon called Everything and Nothing. I still can't wrap my head around nothingness or space, but it sounds crazy.

If the universe has no boundary, and so much about existence is relative to the observer, does that actually make us (or more accurately "me") the center of the universe?
