Amazing!

OTOH, what did he have to lose, the ability to walk? :-"

That's crazy.

If that was me in the chair, I'd probably land on my head or end up doing an Evel Knievel crash - end up with twice as many bones in my body than I had before I started since they would likely be broken in multiple pieces.

On a positive note, by choice my license states that I'm an organ donor so when I die they can take anything that still works to give to others. After all, I will have no use of this human vehicle so take what ever spare parts that are needed.

There's another older video from like 7 years ago where he gets mad air and does a single front flip. That 360 double backflip he just did recently. I'm sure he's working on a triple backflip now.

Junker is derived from Middle High German Juncherre, meaning "young nobleman"[4]

Voyager launched in 1977 is still working in interstellar space. So far away now it takes almost a day for radio signals to reach the probe.

Astronomers just discovered a planet out there with a similar temperature as the earth. Only 40 light years away in case Musk wants to visit.

"At 40 light-years away, Gliese 12 b (or Gl 12 b) is described as the nearest, transiting, temperate, Earth-sized world located to date. This discovery appears in two papers: Kuzuhara et al. 2024 and Dholakia et al. 2024; also, check out NASA's media release about the system, including some visualizations."

When it gets above 110 there is no safe distance.

The sun in Florida just hits different. It could be 95 in Temecula and I could be in the sun for 15-20 minutes, no problem. If it's above 90 here after a few minutes my skin already feels like it's burning.

Well, I am a bit reactive. [jester]

It worked.
I groaned.

Radiating low level humor. 😄

"The increase in the average annual cost of full-coverage car insurance, up to $2,278, following a 7% hike a year before, according to Bankrate. Drivers are using different strategies to cut costs such as switching to pay-as-you-go policies and increasing their deductibles to lower their regular payments."

There are approximately 200 species of squirrels worldwide, broken down into three categories.

Tree Squirrels: These are the most commonly recognized squirrels and include species such as the Eastern gray squirrel, red squirrel, and fox squirrel. They typically live in trees and are found in a variety of habitats, from forests to urban areas.

Ground Squirrels: These squirrels are known for living in burrows and include species like the California ground squirrel and the thirteen-lined ground squirrel. They are often found in grasslands and arid regions.

Flying Squirrels: Despite their name, flying squirrels do not actually fly but glide between trees using a membrane of skin called the patagium. Notable species include the Northern flying squirrel and the Southern flying squirrel.
