Apologies if this is a repost.
This page demonstrates just how vast space is in general and how far apart are planets in our solar system from each other, and from the sun. We've all seen pictures of the solar system, but this is a more accurate portrayal of it, and it assumes that the moon were just 1 pixel.
Enjoy: A tediously accurate map of the solar system[^].

If you lost them in the space between here and Uranus you probably wouldn't be able to.

If you play KSP you get a feeling for those distances, while you are able to reach the moon with in hours and do a roundtrip within a day (easily), the mars is a lot longer trip where you either have to skip forward with highspeed or just fly thousands of moon missions meanwhile

I can't say nothing about accuracy, but really nice... You got the feeling... I will sit with the kids on this today...

But beware there is a lot of empty space
If there weren't any texts once an a while you could just scroll through but you have to read the texts.

Or you can do view source and read the text there.

Douglas Adams: Space is big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind- bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist's, but that's just peanuts to space.

I wanted to know how you organize your little perls, your fragments.
There are things like GistBox, or Android Studio's "Create Gist" feature, there are lots of snippet managers available - many for free...
Do you use any of these?
Or do you keep your snippets on Post-It-like tools like Google Keep or Evernote and the like?
I came in touch with many of them, liked more than one and ended up in having snippets-here-and-there... Still haven't found the one-and-only tool to stick to.

I have a folder with files that contain various snippets.
I really need a better way to do this, and I think I am going to build my own.
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

I remember a discussion going on about snippets and how to organize them.
That was a long time ago, but you can try the CP search. Could have been anywhere though. I'd try the articles first and then go for more general messages.
Here's an article Richard wrote: Code Snippet Manager[^]
That might have been as a result of said discussion, but I'm to busy to research that now.
Cheers!

If you ever want to ship something outside of the First World, good luck!
I have to get a windscreen out to Mrs Wife for the car. I am trying to find a shipper/courier to take it; quotes are around £500-£1,000.
I think I'll call BA and see if I can take it as check-in luggage. It'll be a damned sight cheaper to fly out for the weekend with the bonus of seeing the girls!

Get her to get Amazon Prime and the delivery is free! 
Or...buy a whole car and drive it out there...
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

Amazon don't deliver.
DHL say it's too big.
Parcelforce won't collect.
BA don't answer the phone.

She just needs to find someone to go out in the dead of night, find a same-model car, and. . .

Grand idea except there are only 4 of them in the country. Two of the other three are owned by friends and the fourth is in the south, about 1,000km away.

Since it's going outside the first world, you can probably get by with the repair using plastic wrap.

Can somebody explain to me what the new shipping method is at Amazon. I ordered a book today and just got the notification that it Shipped. It appears to be shipping from inside the US to a US address. Supposed to arrive on Feb 7 (three weeks and a day). Did the US Post office actually implement snail mail?
