Saturn and Jupiter are 100s of millions of miles apart, but they appear right near each other now.  They'll be closest tomorrow night, for the "Great Conjunction." 

Explanation:
"An hour after sunset, look to the southwestern sky. Jupiter will look like a bright star and be easily visible. Saturn will be slightly fainter and will appear slightly above and to the left of Jupiter until December 21, when Jupiter will overtake it and they will reverse positions in the sky."

@Something Fishy where are you being tomorrow night?

Is this about the pedo ring? I was under the impression that it was debunked

In the article I just read about him in popular mechanics (I couldn’t find it online), it says “But Havens couldn’t Google it...”
I find that fascinating, if he had been able to google it and see that it was “unsolvable” who knows what would have happened but instead he worked at it and ultimately solved an unsolvable equation.

Musar shmooz anyone?

For α0=[a0,a1,…] an infinite continued fraction and σ a linear fractional transformation, we study the continued fraction expansion of σ(α0) and its convergents. We provide the continued fraction expansion of σ(α0) for four general families of continued fractions and when |detσ|=2. We also find nonlinear recurrence relations among the convergents of σ(α0) which allow us to highlight relations between convergents of α0 and σ(α0). Finally, we apply our results to some special and well-studied continued fractions, like Hurwitzian and Tasoevian ones, giving a first study about leaping convergents having steps provided by nonlinear functions.

Absolute Chinese to me

Very inspiring story though.

(As an aside, solitary confinement is an inhumane cruel and unusual punishment that should be outlawed in penitentiaries in any civilized country, unless the inmate poses a clear and present danger to others. It is entirely overused in a despicable manner.)

TLDR, but the first part of the article is shtusim. My business' legal address is still at my house while I employ 7 people at a different location. On my PPP it is my house listed.

CMIIW but I don’t think anyone denies election fraud exists. The problem anyone rational should have is with the claim that there was widespread systemic fraud by one specific party with zero evidence or credible reason other than wild aspersions by the loser.

Also CMIIW but I believe most of us have moved past this embarrassing episode?

Your house isn't on the south side of Chicago. Just sayin'

The newly released records solve a mystery that has clouded the SBA program for months. Across the country, the number of $10,000 grants approved is equal to about two-thirds of small businesses with 10 or more employees, according to the most recent Census data available. But in some congressional districts around Chicago, Atlanta, Miami, Houston and elsewhere, $10,000 grants far outnumbered eligible businesses. Nationwide, the excess was about 133,000 grants, worth $1.3 billion in all.

In ZIP code 60620, which encompasses the South Hermitage block in the Auburn-Gresham neighborhood of Chicago, Census data show at most 156 establishments big enough to qualify for the largest SBA grant. But the agency sent 3,824 grants of $10,000 there, suggesting that the vast majority of payments involved fraud.

This article has insane stuff. Sadly 613 also participated in similar stuff on a big scale.
