What decides how good a slingshot something is isn't its density or mass (provided the mass >> than that of the object being slingshot), but rather its velocity relative to the sun. Planet 9 travels very slowly relative to the su

It's disingenuous to call domestic servitude "caring for" or "UBI", by the same metric prison is UBI for prisoners. If you want cooking, cleaning, and childcare so badly, why don't you volunteer to do it instea
