Did they not already have a name?! How did they fill out the paperwork to become an astronaut?

Reply to [OT] At the start of the year, I found this sub and with it a passion for writing. Today, a collection of those short stories - my favourites - have turned into a full book. by SirPiecemaker

Once the paperback is available let us know, I'll happily pick one up! Congrats!

Reply to TIL at the end of the Top Gear US Special after arriving in New Orleans, the hosts gave their cars away instead of selling them as originally planned after seeing the damage from Hurricane Katrina by PrettyPinkPonyPrince

And IIRC correctly they actually got sued over it

EDIT: Someone else in these comments talked about it more. They apparently got sues by the group they donated it to for $20k because they "misrepresented" the Camaro as a '91 when it was, in fact, an '89.

But the headline makes it sound like it did happen before. In the last election. So that's not uplifting because it's basically saying nothing new happened.

"First time since 2020" - so, like 1 election? This isn't hardly news, let alone uplifting news. This just seems like an absolutely pointless article.
