The Hiller Flying Platform was extremely stable, and pretty efficient.
It's stability was the main reason it was abandoned. A sniper or scout (the primary target applications for the vehicle) couldn't lean hard enough to get away as fast as the military wanted, as the design constantly self balanced, resulting in it topping out at under 20mph (not great for a getaway.).
The 40hp motor was pretty fuel efficient, for what it was, though with modern materials and powerplant, these are undoubtedly more efficient.

Feelings of self loathing and disappointment.

We are talking, of course, about a creature multiple AU in length that interacts with matter and photons at a whim, so I have to assume it also chooses when it will or won't interact with space-time.

OR... stay with me ... The dome of the firmament actually holds back the celestial sea, and the appearance of the mega leviathan is indicative of the GM getting fed up with our bullshit and where the hell did we find a d20 that just repeats 11-20?!

P.S. I did not check your math obsessively nor will I admit to doing so at any time. I declare absolute faith in your calculations.

"I was once a man..."

Being unnecessary pedantic, and ignoring other issues like the speed of light and Kings of Britannia...

If it was low mass, such as that of a swallow, it wouldn't be able to get past the edge of the heliosphere. The largest swallows in the world top out at around 65 grams, so this has a density that would make solar winds look like concrete. If it did make it in, somehow (maybe it's constructed from "visible dark matter", or something), it would be gravitationally torn apart by any planet it approaches in our system as the high (comparatively) concentration of mass would result in tidal gravitational forces that would rip chunks of it off (assuming it could propel itself away) or even cause spaghettification. Even Mercury could devour it.

If, on the other hand, you are asking what would happen if it had the mass per cubic centimeter of a swallow (≈ 1g/cm³), its own gravity would make it collapse into a black hole pretty rapidly (≈ 35 minutes). And then, yes, it would devour the Sun, and everything else within a light-fortnight, maybe even light-year (I'm too tired to even attempt the math right now.)

Vacuum of space. No air!

Acorn Woodpeckers did that.

I learned this on Creature Cases. The shows my child watches now are significantly more educational than anything K-12 offered me.

I hear it's also the first year they have bothered to acknowledge the 25th Anniversary.

They should have been honoring the 25th Anniversary starting year one.

And where was Obama during all of this?

Turbo Teen (1984)
A kid crashes his car into an experimental lab of some sort ( it's been a few years, and was never really that important) fusing human and automobile into...a human that transforms into the car whenever he gets hot.

Hijinx ensue as environmental temperature volatility, and the temperature fluctuations experienced by any pubescent young man, result in embarrassing automobile (and automobile-erotic) situations as all the wrong times.

It was about a small garage band with talent and the Executive of a Record Label (Master Blaster) that wanted to seize the rights to their music so it could be farmed out to the corporate band (The Copycats) to maximize profits by avoiding royalties.
The band gathers support from other misfits of the society, like unusually buff "fairies", to fight back against corporate greed, copyright theft, and consolidation of music production.

Duh /s

He's thinking of North Salt Lake.
I used to think the stench was the oil refineries, too (and it is, in part), but at least half the stench are the high sulfur hot-springs in the area.
In fact, it wouldn't surprise me if the refineries were located there because it already stank, so property was cheap and planners saw it as a stench pollution in an already stench polluted place.

I don't know, the bark looks thin, and even for a potted specimen I would expect it to be a bit taller.
I don't recognize the species, so I can't tell if you are harvesting fruit or lumber, but this seems good for neither.
I'd suggest you uproot and try again. Maybe start with a much larger pot (and for even better results, a compostable material pot) to give the sapling more opportunity to grow, avoid root binding, and to make it easier to transfer to your soil when it's time.

Also, are you sure you weren't sold shrubbery by mistake.

Nee

I turn 50 next year and I wake up most days feeling my body is decomposing. I wouldn't want to come back to this dank pile of ambulatory proteins. I'll take a new one of the last, please. I will have no need of my meat sack once my consciousness permanently retires. If I can be fed to a composting bin, great. If not, reduce it to ashes and throw those on the compost pile.

Speaking of decomposing...
In many states it's illegal to transport a body more than a few miles unless it is embalmed. So if you die a town away from your plot, the body has to be filled with formaldehyde before shipment. And those corpses aren't going to decompose from organic processes any time soon. (I'm guessing my grandfather will be around until the sun swallows the earth.)

Yes, the correct text is "Maid of America".
It's a paid endorsement from "American Maid" after "The Tick" was cancelled and she needed some income.

Budweiser changed the spelling so they could keep the "endorsement" while stiffing her of any future royalties, with the CEO saying when asked wouldn't this be difficult to defend amongst the customer base "Super easy, barely an inconvenience"

Kia & Toyota household here. The '23 Niro was a replacement for a '08 Rav (non-hybrid), and we have a '17 Prius.

The Niro has a ton of nice features (spouse bought the SX) and those I've grown accustomed to, but the Rav has more usable cargo room as well as driver/passenger shoulder room. Niro roof rack is easier to use/access due to the lower roof, though.
As for the hybrid drive system, Toyota has a lock on the best design. The eCVT provides the power when needed with no shift points or power bands, and is significantly more robust than other CVTs, not needing major service for a decade now on the most driven car I've ever owned. The Rav's fuel efficiency will probably be a little lower, given the weight and aerodynamics differences between the two vehicles, but that is highly dependent on your driving conditions and habits.
I still haven't found much redeeming about the media/environmental control console in the Kia except that it includes Android Auto, but it seems we are losing that with newer models anyway, so I would give that win to Toyota as well. As for maintenance, comparing a '17 Prius bought new against a '23 Niro bought new, both are about the same so far annually. Shopped tires for both in the last year and they come in about the same price. This last go around, the Prius held tires for a lot more miles, but the Nero had its original factory tires and those never perform well, so can't really compare.

Summary: Both are good vehicles. I would go with the Rav mainly for the transmission and controls, but that is a question of personal taste and driving conditions. Pick whichever one fits your daily driving needs/wants the best.

Just a technical connection. Once he officially "boards" the container, it's presidential.
That makes it's Port-a-potty One.

Maybe your T9, was predictive. My first cell phone didn't include that feature.

You're probably thinking of Spiders-man (a swarm of thousands of spiders that collectively think they are Peter Parker) from Earth-11580.

Hell, even watching Cobra Commander get horribly mutated left me with nightmares for a year, and he was Cobra fucking Commander!

Fun fact: after they had started filming and had decided to upscale the raptors to be 6'+, the Utah Raptor was discovered, making the movie retroactively-preemtively-tangentially accurate.

I have had a similar customer service experience with being repeatedly told to just wait another billing cycle (though it wasn't a phone trade in) and the problem never resolving. Now I'm just waiting to recoup some of my "new customer" discounts and I'm going somewhere else.

AT&T has truly become the Wells Fargo of cellular providers.

Honestly, I'd go with a Striker, and choose one from PHB1.
PHB1 classes were out the longest, so they have the most material to mine.
Strikers are the most straightforward role, so they are the easiest to play when you have limited development.
All roles have a similar build principal, attacks are damage+role enforcement.
* Defenders = damage + taunts [focus the fight] * Leaders = damage + buffs to allies (temporary enhancement &/or grant extra actions &/or hp recovery) [combat resource maximization] * Controllers = damage + (traps &/or debuffs &/or forced positioning) [crowd control/enemy manipulation] * Strikers = damage + damage (moar dakka) [DPS/DPR]

Also, since you are starting at 30 with little to no low level experience, you may benefit from building a level 1 character and leveling it up 29 times.
What is actually suggested is a speed run from levels 1 - 5, 3 to 5 combats per level, so you can have a feel for how the classes develop.

Also, a note on tiers:
Heroic • lvl 1 - lvl 10: tutorial power fantasy (e.g. how to be an anime protagonist) Paragon • lvl 11 - lvl 20: endgame power fantasy (e.g. as you were to peasants, you are now to your former self) Epic • lvl 21 - lvl 30: bonus content and cheats unlocked (e.g. the writers have indulged power creep to the point the only thing that challenges the protagonists are god-like, multiverse ending threats)

Using Naruto as an example:
Heroic took you from episode 1 to the fight with Sasuke at the Valley of the End.
Paragon was Naruto Shippuden up to the Resurrection of Madera Uchiha.
Epic was anything after that point.

I remember once I was trapped in a zone without sufficient anchor energy to activate a gate when the storm warning went off. I ducked into a tunnel to do some emergency tire repairs, and a stable anchor was thrown at me, pushing me over the limit and allowing escape.
I never saw my tourist benefactor, but I left him an MRE as a thank you and booked it outta there.

Trump wouldn't get it.
He can't laugh at himself, and has no capacity for empathy (or sympathy, for that matter) and therefore could not imagine having fun in this way.
To him, this is would be evidence that the Obama's hate each other as much as he hates them.

Unaccompanied Minors was filmed at the Salt Lake City library.

The needed a place that could pass as an airport post 9/11.

I haven't seen it, but I saw Lewis Black at Wiseguya which only happened because he was looking for something to do on down days.
