People tend to think Mercury is the hottest planet in our solar system, but they’re wrong. Venus is the hottest planet due to a runaway greenhouse effect. Russia managed to land a probe on Venus that was able to and send a couple pics before it was destroyed by the Venusian atmosphere. The pressure is just short of being able to crush carbon into diamonds. It rains sulfuric acid, and the average temperature is 867°F (464°C). A day on Venus is longer than a year. It takes Venus longer to rotate once on its axis than to complete one orbit of the Sun. That's 243 Earth days to rotate once – the longest rotation of any planet in the Solar System – and only 224.7 Earth days to complete an orbit of the Sun. Although all planetary orbits are elliptical, Venus's orbit is currently the closest to circular, with an eccentricity of less than 0.01. Venus is unusual because it spins the opposite direction of Earth and most other planets. And its rotation is very slow. As already stated, it takes about 243 Earth days to spin around just once. Because it's so close to the Sun, a year goes by fast. The outer planets, Neptune and Uranus, are not just gas giants, but ice giants. Im going to focus on Neptune for a minute. Neptune has the most extreme weather in our solar system, with giant storms, high winds, and constantly changing clouds. The innermost regions of Neptune's mantle may have temperatures of 12,140°F (6,727°C) and pressures 6 million times that of Earth's atmosphere. At these conditions, methane may decompose into diamond crystals that rain down like hailstones. Neptune's average temperature is -353°F (-214°C). Uranus is different from all the other planets because it orbits the sun on its side. Uranus is the coldest planet in our solar system, with a mean temperature of -320°F (-195°C). Uranus is tilted on its axis by 98 degrees, which makes it appear to spin sideways. Scientists believe a large object knocked Uranus on its side long ago. Pluto isn’t the only dwarf planet in our solar system. In the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter is an asteroid that is large enough that it’s rounded and qualifies as a dwarf planet. Its name is Ceres. Should I continue, or does this satisfy the question?😈

It depends what I’m shopping for. Some things are ONLY available online. Like some of the shirts I have are pro-pitbull. Pitbulls are the greatest breed on earth. But they’re the most popular candidate for “boogeyman” in the dog world. But if I’m shopping for poptarts, then I’ll just go to the goddamn store.

Does breakfast food count? if not, then this is a hard question to answer. I honestly can’t decide. I love Mexican, Chinese, and Italian. Sushi is good on occasion but not something I start salivating over. I thought about it for a fews minutes while writing this, and my answer has to be breakfast.

I moved this topic to general discussion, because you mentioned painters as options. Thus, it opens the discussion to any kind of artist. Not just musicians. To answer the question at hand, sometimes writers still want to write, but want to distance themselves from previous works, for different reasons. Or they want to write something different from their previous works. So they adopt a pen name. For example, Stephen king sometimes uses the pen name Richard Bachman. Anne Rice uses the pen name A.N. Roquelaure. Sometimes writers and authors don’t like something about a work they previously published so they don’t want their new work to be associated with it. Since this was posted in music, I’ll answer on musicians. Sometimes an artist is in a band, and then chooses to go solo. Or they get fired from a band and then continue with music solo. Take Ozzy Osbourne for example. He was fired from Black Sabbath, for good reason I may add, and then continued performing solo and released some of his best work as a singer. Mama I’m Coming Home is one of my absolute favorite songs. You mentioned painters so I’ll respond to that too. Michaelangelo wasn’t particularly fond of painting, but when the pope commissioned him, he agreed to paint the Sistine Chapel ceiling. His real passion was sculpting. Granted he is best known for the statue of David moreso than the Sistine Chapel. Aside from simply enjoying it more, he also used sculpture to move away from painting. So sometimes, reinventing one’s self is a good thing. Other times it’s completely pointless. It all depends on the reason.

Hi Heatman, what's up?

It looks so tranquil - I like little spots like these.

Ironically, I have both a PS5 and a PC and although I'd pick the PC first, the PS5 is a very good console and are quite a bit cheaper in recent times.

Maybe I have been lucky because it has been rare for me to fall seriously sick. I just feel that it is as a result of my good gene and not based on any other thing that I can point out to be the reason.
