I thought that this coffee mug[^] would make the perfect addition to my growing collection but I really want one for work.

hm. the redundancy mug?

The link works, but the carrot/hat link doesn't. ha.

The unfortunate side effect of lack of caffeine post lunch has been fixed.

I like that one too. I can relate.

I would but I don't use mugs for anything.

It's a thermo-coloury-changery one, so you can't put it in a microwave*
The result of that would be a huge reduction in my caffeine intake.
* Well, you can, but only if you don't turn the microwave on

Ok, but I hink I will take this.[^]
I had to ditch my helicopter just like the one on the shirt in the grass yesterday. A part of the tail rotor failed. So the 'about 100$ each time line may apply.

“The asteroids get their energy from the Sun, a lot of that energy, especially on a dark asteroid like Bennu, is absorbed, causing the asteroid’s surface to heat up. It has to release that energy back out into space, and when that happens it acts likes like a thruster and changes the trajectory of the asteroid.
“So if you want to be able to predict where an object like Bennu is going to be in the future, you have you to account for this phenomenon, and we’re going to provide the best-ever scientific investigation of this fascinating concept.”

That's really interesting. Very cool to think about how energy is absorbed and then used in a different way and how it actually creates a form of propulsion in space. Wow.

What if our slight interaction with the asteroid changed its trajectory just enough so that Earth might experience a very bad day a few years from now?

You are joking, yet unsure. They (who's they anyway?) say that jokes contain a minimum of 20% truth - the more truth, the greater the impact of the joke.
I agree with your joke.

That's the ButterflYarkovSKY Effect or is that the ICan'tBelieveIt'sNotButterflYarkovSKY Effect?

I wish I had an "EFFECT" named after me.
So far, I've only got Murphy's Law, and they misspelled my name completely.

So if you heat something that's made of a combination of materials up, some of the materials may expand and be ejected, causing a change in the angular momentum of the object?
Like, does that really need a special name? I smell the need to publish a paper or lose tenure.
Me, I'd call it The Bleeding Obvious Effect.

It's not that material is ejected, it's that the heat radiates back out into space and acts as "thrust."

Seriously? So it's just radiated photons?
That means that we're talking of an effect that is so infinitesimal that we may never even be able to conclusively prove that it exists*, because it will be hugely overpowered by proven/provable effects.
Hell, you could equally say that the Earth's rotation and orbit are affected by the way it absorbs/reflects light, but the mass involved not only makes it impossible to prove, but also makes it unlikely to be true -- you exert a lot more force by slightly opening a tap (faucet) and letting water dribble into the sink.
* Except in abstract, of course, but I suppose that that's why numbers and "career mathematicians" exist.

Not necessarily.
The effect was first measured in 1991–2003 on the asteroid 6489 Golevka. The asteroid drifted 15 km from its predicted position over twelve years (the orbit was established with great precision by a series of radar observations in 1991, 1995 and 1999) from the Arecibo radio telescope.[3]

Good Lord! No sooner do I mention affirmation of the consequent in one posting, but I find an example of it in another posting! How synchrowhatzitous!
The thingy drifted 15 km, therefore it was caused by the Yarkovsky effect!
... Or maybe it hit a 3cc pebble, somewhere in the millions of miles that it travelled.
