The internet is an amazing place. Here's a graph of the temps on that day. Looks like the high/low was 71/21 that day.

70 degrees at noon, 45 at 3pm, and 30 at 6pm:

Kim Jung Un said he has a button for his nuclear weapons on his desk.

President Trump tweets out:
I too have a nuclear button, but it is a much bigger & more powerful one......and my button works!
I don't care, that shit is funny.

I'd go back to Korea tomorrow if I could. I am not worried about the fat man up north.

Trump behaves just like the stupid, petty teenage girls I deal with constantly when they’re starting Facebook/Instagram/Snapchat drama. Somebody should have taken over his phone and accounts the day he took office. It’s an embarrassment to the country and the office.

Was watching CNN the other day and they were talking about the weather on the east coast. The anchor was talking how it was zero degrees and the temperature was asking to being on Mars. I'm sure Mars is much colder than zero degrees. Hell Omaha has been rocking highs in the negatives last week and wind chills of -20 to -30. That must be like Jupiter then

It's a completely impossible statement for them to say that it was like the temperature on Mars. The temperature on a planet, just like Earth, will be different depending on where you are on that planet at any given time. If you're in direct sunlight on Mars, it is going to be very warm - it doesn't have an Earth-like atmosphere though so it will be tremendously cold when you're not in the sun or when you're near the poles. Warm day in the sun on Mars, probably 70-100 degrees F. Cold night in the dark or at the poles, probably -100 to -200 degrees F.

In 18 months we're launching a satellite that will be in an orbit 1 million miles from Earth. Parts of the satellite that will be exposed to the Sun will reach nearly 200 F. Parts that are shaded by a multi-layer shielding system will be nearly -400 F.

Also, Jupiter is a gas giant. It doesn't have "ground" like Earth. So the temperature varies wildly as you descend through the layers of gas, liquid, and plasma toward the center of the planet. Extremely hot at the outer edges, extremely cold as you descend through the layers.

I thought of Hoos a while back when Navy was laying the smackdown on his Wahoos. Wondered where in the world that crazy Cambodian was... Do you guys ever shoot him anymore? Do you guys even shoot?
