This is so frustrating when trouble shooting - trying to re-find where that one settings page was because you opened another.

Sooo many issues getting wifi or sleep working in the past. It's so much better now.

That's really interesting!
I just discovered a theory about the cause of the 'late heavy bombardment', which is thought to have delivered water to earth via comets.

Essentially the gas giants all orbited much closer, but Jupiter and Saturn got into resonance and flung Uranus and Neptune way out (and Saturn too). Uranus and Neptune flew out into the path of a heap of ice, and their gravity pulled the ice into an orbit that collided with the terrestrial planets.

Jupiter does throw its weight around a bit too much.

Do you mean the Trojans? They're excluded from the mass calculation of 'clearing the neighbourhood' because they're in a resonant orbit - their orbit is a consequence of Jupiter's mass.

Absolute size isn't really in the criteria for a planet though. Pluto isn't a planet because it shares its orbit with lots of other icy bodies in the Kuiper belt.

As an Australian, here's the real war.

Never heard of miracle whip, looked it up - of course it has high fructose corn syrup.
Real mayo all the way. Whole egg preferably 🙂

That's the perfect amount of parmesan.
