A day on Venus is longer than a year on Venus.

If you start to think about how these lengths of time are defined it becomes clearer.

1 day = time to rotate on it's axis once 1 year = time to complete a full rotation around the sun

For Earth, it takes us ~24hrs to rotate on our axis and 365.25 days to orbit the sun.

However, because Venus' axial rotation is so slow (and another interesting fact, it rotates in the opposite direction to other planets) it actually completes a full orbit of the sun before 1 axial rotation.

Hence, a year is shorter than a day

For those interested:

1 Venus day = 243 earth days 1 Venus year = 225 earth days

This is only going to be considered by the swing voters come the election.

Die hard Trumpers will double down. Die hard Republicans would never vote for a Democrat, so better a felon than a Liberal. Die hard Democrats would never have voted for him anyway.

People who flip between the two parties now have another thing to consider when casting their votes, and only their internal compass will direct them to Trump or Biden

Eat a gram of Uranium, it contains 20 billion calories and will feed you for the rest of your life

No, it's sites gatekeeping their dodgy tracking cookie policies.

US companies don't want to comply with data protection rules of other territories, so they block our access, just so they can continue their exploitative tracking

Looks like someone found out they are a robot

Now if only I could get an inflation pegged pay rise, all would be good

Please tell me which religion he is, as no where in the bible does it say "Trans people are evil, don't believe the woke agenda", it does say however, "Love thy neighbour".

I feel like bragging your lead developer is Elon Musk is not something you'd reasonably want to do

Probably didn't want to pay for an ambulance

Ahhh I see you shop at an American greengrocer.

Let's face it, by Britain abstaining they were saying, "we are for the case fire, but we don't want to strain our 'special relationship' with America"

I thought it was only the prime minister of the UK who could end The Game

I think we need some rule or something here that limits the number of communities you can moderate

You engage them in conversion, explain to them simply they are at the wrong house, and keep pushing that point

Source: I had this situation happen to me at uni, explained to the side he had the wrong house, showed him the house number, and he calmly left.

Yeah, but have you seen the state of it recently? It's a shell of its former self

This is what baffles me as well. Online game I can understand.... but offline single player.....???

Also, why in the 21st century does Sony not expand PSN world wide, and why is it only available in a handful of countries

Advance to crab

And yet the founder of Infosys wants the Indian youth to work 70hrs a week

If his uncle wasn't dead already, he'd shoot himself in the head at the thought of what RFK Jr. is doing

Treasonous Colonial

The Witcher 3, as well. It wasn't as bad as cyberpunk, but it definitely wasn't the masterpiece it is today

Let's just call it the counter-counterattck

At least it should be paid off by now

God, now this makes it a difficult one.

On one hand a Trump presidency is awful, on the other hand seeing Elon Musk have a mental breakdown as he can no longer sell Teslas in America is almost worth while
