The 4 player games were a bunch of fun. We eventually explored various anti-competitive strategies, including trying to monopolize SmithOre, buying and releasing M.U.L.E.s, and more. Lots of shenanigans during auctions as well. Brilliant ga

Toyota has only recently put into production PHEVs that seem a lot more practical. For example, the electric-only range for the 2012 Prius PHEV is 15 miles, not enough for many people's daily commute unless you can plug in at both dest

I don't think that's a concern. The DART mission was able to alter the orbit of Dimorphos, but that asteroid is only 160 meters in diameter, much smaller than Deimos at 12.4km (mean diameter, it is oblong). Mass wise, we're
