Much appreciated.

So I'm using the Voyager App.

At the top, I get the pic, then post title, then a one line description "body of the article" of how there's a quasar expanding some 13x normal speed.

That's way too sparse of details for me to take with any seriousness and I'd really like to read more.

Are you saying yours shows with more info than that?

No idea. OP appear to be a cool space pic and a claim about cosmic events.

Link to an article?

Thanks for the assist. Wish they were labeled like basically every other state/province.

For TN and IL, are those wind?

I am color blind....but most of the colors just look like grey to me and its making it really hard to tell wind from solar from nuclear.

Man, I wish I had 3 people caring about me.

Oh, yeah, Atari would have been before my time, so don't feel so bad about not thinking of that one.

I figured it was in reference to the MMO craze dying down, but that felt more like a strong speed bump than a crash.

Second Gaming Crash

Wait, what was the first gaming crash?

From the first article you linked:

Under the Jones Act, any vessel can enter Puerto Rico. In fact, many foreign vessels enter Puerto Rico regularly, importing goods from countries around the world. However, transportation of goods between two U.S. ports must be carried out by a vessel that was built in the U.S. and operated primarily by Americans. This law doesn't single out Puerto Rico -- it applies to all U.S. ports, the only exception being the U.S. Virgin Islands.

Don't get me wrong, I hate the Jones Act as much as any rational American would, but from what I hear, they get a grab bag of exemptions on taxes when moving goods to/from South America (I suppose via non-US ships and via aircraft).

I don't have the time for proper research at the moment to try to find what my dudes have talked about when it comes to laxer import/export controls, but may revisit later today if I get some down time.

I don't spend a lot of time with Puerto Ricans, but the two I keep in semi-regular contact with have said that they don't want Puerto Rico to become a state (they wave vaguely at the rules for imports/exports to South American countries; apparently the island has relaxed rules on that compared to states?).

What's actually stopped them from.becoming a state in the past? Seems like ~2013 was the last time a movement for that had any real traction?
