You've practically asked her out already.
She knows you're going to ask her out, she's already told you she wants to go out with you.

It doesn't matter what you say. You both know the answer. Just ask her if she wants to go out with you.
It's not like it's a marriage proposal.

made a little game for you guys

So, I get the joke, but is there actually a game behind it, and how would you actually play it?
I've not seen anything like this before.

I don't think he would make a secret alt lol.

He wouldn't be able to resist posting his pictures in the Real Life Pictures topic.

If Battlefront was on there, I MIGHT get it.

I would too.

I don't really care for most of the others, or already own them.

I mean, technically all Roman gods are just latinised versions of Greek gods. Jupiter to Zeus, Neptune to Poseidon, and so on and so forth.

Yeah, but Jupiter, Neptune and others were incorporated as part of the functioning Roman pantheon.
Ouranos wasn't, as far as I am aware.

They were only latinised in the late 1700s in order to bring their naming scheme in line with that of the traditional names of the planets.
Urstar fish the planet wasn't known by the Ancient civilisations, and so it wasn't named by them.

oh no
but that's Greek mythology, not Roman
the path will be forever messed up
Idk, if I were to name it I woulda done Metis, the Greek god of cunning

They'd be using the latinised name.

And Urstar fish is the latinised name of Ouranos, which is specifically a Greek god.
So there's precedent there.

So apparently one suggested name for the planet, were it to be visually confirmed, is 'Nox'.

This is the Latin version of the Greek goddess Nyx, who is the goddess of the night.
This would be a clever name, given the planets suggested darkness. It's suggested to give back a fraction of the light which Pluto reflects, which is in turn tiny compared to the other planets. It's possibly 600 times fainter than Pluto.

If theres any semblance of realism the projectile will be travelling at anything from Mach 5-7.

If the slug /was/ going the speed of light it would immediately destroy the entire planet right as it reached a fraction of that speed. Beats patrolling the mojave though.

Firing Gauss Rifles almost makes you wish for a nuclear winter.

Yes. But this planet dosnt orbit our sun. It seems to orbit another and just makes a very very wide rotation and falls close to ours temporarily?

No, if it exists, it most definitely orbits our sun.
It's got a large and very slow elliptical orbit (like Pluto), that suggests it can be anywhere from 200AU to 1000AU (averaging 600AU).

At any rate it is firmly within the Oort cloud's outer-edge, and therefore it orbits the sun.

That's incredibly dangerous. It could eventually break its path from its original orbit and join our orbit possibly messing up the order of rotation.

That doesn't make sense in the slightest, even if it was orbiting a different star.

Consider thinking for a change.

Isnt it like... Not technically in the solar system at all?
It makes a short, wide turn visit, then leaves since its busy rotating in its own system.

Depends on your definition of where the solar system ends.
Here's a model of the solar system.


Neptune, the farthest out major planet, is 30 AU out from the sun (30 times further from the sun than the Earth is).
Pluto, is 30-50AU out from the sun, depending on it's location in it's orbit. Pluto sits in the Kuiper belt, an Asteroid field.

Planet 9 is estimated to be roughly 600 AU out from the sun.
However, the Oort cloud, which is a sea of matter, where most of our comets come from, ranges from 1000 to 100,000 AU out.

By most definitons the Solar System definitively ends at the end of the Oort cloud, if not earlier.
More conservative definitons define the Solar System as ending at the edge of the Kuiper belt.

So, Planet 9 is potentially part of the Solar System (it's certainly significantly closer to our star than any other), but by other definitions, it's just too far out.

Where? You didn't provide any fix.

It should read "There are now 9 planets in our solar system".

that would really loving suck if you just, like, didn't get along with any of the fellow peeps you'd be with

it'd make me want to strangle them :c

You can guarantee that one of the most important qualities in prospective astronauts for long-haul missions, like Mars, will be their personality and disposition.

When it comes down to it, there will likely be instances where lesser scientists are chosen because they're just more capable of getting on with their colleagues.

tremendous is not an actual measurement for speed so you can't really say how fast it is.

I can certainly say that it's not the speed of light, because that's physically impossible for a rail gun. Even by Fallout's often wacky physics/science.
