Apparently Mars isn't as red as we might have initially thought. I was reading about color calibration for the Martian rover and it turns out that a lot of images are processed through a filter or taken during dust storms in which the Martian surface appears to be of a reddish tone. But apparently the color is a lot more earth like. Sort of like this...




It's interesting because the rover actually had a sundial with red, green, blue, and yellow tabs on it for nasa to adjust and analyze the color.


This is the best image I could find with color comparisons on the rover. It's claimed this is taken after a dust storm cleared. Thoughts?

Was talking to a dude at work about EVs and gas mileage. Got me wondering what some other people are working with. My car is estimated at 35mpg. Can't complain.

I'd like to be Goku. Or Dr Manhattan. But maybe Goku.

The fuck is wrong with you pasty boys? I can't go a day without seeing that shit.

I remember a while back that you could block people but how do you do it? If the feature still exists.

Are you going to watch it? I can't wait to see who wins best female artist (as if it won't be NIcki Minaj, again). But for real it's going to be pretty good.

Would you rather have sex with your cousin in secret or not have sex with your cousin but everyone would think you did?

Help an indecisive nigga out.

I was like "why does that car have a large rod on it?" and then being aware of technology I figured it was a google maps car, and sure enough it said google maps on it. So at the stop sign I looked dead at the camera and now I'll be on google maps street view.

Some people go a lifetime without seeing such beauty. Some people wait a lifetime for that one special kiss.

Let's just acknowledge that a racist white kid shot and killed 9 people including a senator at a historical black church. Yet somehow people say racism is dead in the U.S. If you're a minority in the U.S. you know the deal.
Thoughts on another instance of black people being killed due to racism?

The lineup is dank as fuck. I might just go to MI and smoke during that shit. But idk.

Any help or suggestions for casual footwear?

Fuck I meant to post this in serious.

Right now I'm 150 lb and I'm trying to get to 180 by the end of summer. As you can see from my avatar featuring the god of the bod, I delve in the arts of picking up heavy stuff and then putting it down. Aside from protein supplimentation and creatine (just reupped on it today), what else can I do to gain weight fast? My friend who wrestled had to fluctuate his weight a lot, but his advice is pretty shitty.

I've noticed that both online and in real surveys that many white americans ignore the institutional racism. This is displayed in events like Katrina, and more recently the riots in Baltimore over consistent police brutality against african americans. The government tends to react differently when minorities are involved and this seems to hold true in all moments in american history.
