The first few times it does. Once you’ve learned “how to drive” it doesn’t make you as anxious.
Also social situations definitely turn up the anxiety so I would recommend doing it alone at home.

Could be an acquired taste but in India we scramble raw onions (finely chopped) and green chilies into eggs.

Not an answer to your question, but check out an independent movie called “cosmos” (might be on prime video). Not the documentary series, but a low budget indie movie about 3 friends listening for alien signals. It’s a little nerdy but I enjoyed it.
I’m intentionally not saying what it’s about because that would ruin it.

I wonder about the delay in time from some of those stars which are hundreds of light years apart. I suppose that’s taken into consideration as well, but it seems like a Herculean task to me without computers.
Imagine if we are just radial spokes and it looks like a spiral because of the time it takes the light to reach us from further away 😄

Reply to comment by cjheaford in Do we have any compounds or materials on Earth that compared to the rest of the universe is incredibly rare? by SwordArtOnlineIsGood
No it’s harvested on Pluto by Plutonians which caused the planet to get smaller and thus be re-classified as a dwarf planet. It’s a big deal on Pluto and most of the population isn’t aware of their diminishing status in the solar system.
Get your facts straight!

Couldn’t the same be true about earth? It’s significant gravity pulls away debris headed to the moon?

I recommend playing kerbal space program and trying to land on the moon! It’s a lot of fun and very educational (especially newtons laws of motion)

Reply to comment by masoyama in Are wind turbines good for the environment? by Patagonica
I’ve seen videos of vertical tube type turbines. How efficient are those on a large scale compared to the existing ones? And do they eliminate some of the drawbacks?

I second YouTube as an excellent resource:
Check out: Melodysheep, Kurzgesagt, Veritasium
They all have good easy to understand videos.
People like PBS space time but I think it’s very technical and easy to lose track.
Read any book by Carlo rovelli. “7 brief lessons in physics” is a good one to start with. “Reality is not what it seems” is also good if you liked the previous one.

If you haven’t seen one (total solar eclipse that is) in person that’s exactly what it feels like!
