I’m a cashier, I was pleasantly surprised when a customer mentioned the blackout to me on Monday. I didn’t think anyone was talking about it offline. I’m hoping with all my heart that work is dead slow today, but knowing how backwards the people in my town are, I know it’s a Pipedream.

You’re right! 3001: The Final Odyssey. I only have the first three so I didn’t realize there was a fourth. Thanks for mentioning it!

Oh wow, that’s awesome. I’ve been reading the 2001: A Space Odyssey trilogy, which centers around Jupiter and Europa, so this helps me visualize the moon! It’s way more cracked with streaks of red than I imagined.

Jokes on them, you can’t even do the things you like.
