The 1919 Great Boston Molasses Flood remained the deadliest confectionery containment accident until the Canadian Space Agency's 2031 orbital maple syrup delivery disaster.
Seems like the people studying supernova precursor candidate stars in the local group, and the possibility of the neutrino flux sterilizing all life on earth, would push astronomy more to the right...
I knew that :-) [I didn't believe it when I first heard about it, though!] But I think the issue there is that it would be really hard to use for world domination!
I need USB-C cables to become cheaper, but basically, if it's not "the good one", it gets thrown in the garbage. Monoprice has them for too cheap to worry about them.
And then there's that weird proprietary cable I've had since like 2004 that looks at a glance like micro USB but isn't, so I get halfway across the country for my vacation with no way to charge anything at all and have to buy spares at the airport for exorbitant prices.
