Any visible planet or asteroid would. So some stars would also appear to blink out, but those would take longer to blink out. So the moon would go after 8 minutes, Jupiter would take 43 minutes to stop receiving light, and another 35-52 minutes to disappear for earth depending on orbital locations.

Presumably we would get something on radio/tv/internet from the side facing the sun once they realized it, that of course being only if they hadn't already been eradicated by a horrific shockwave caused by whatever event caused the sun to vanish before they had a chance to report what they saw, because supernovae tend to travel at very close to the speed of light, so there wouldn't be much time for them to react.

And if this is a supernova, you might just have time to grok what happened before the planet was obliterated under your feet from the shockwave.

So I guess... chances are we would just barely understand what happened before we were gone.

The president is not in line though. His office is what the line is for, and he's in it.

That's the source of the disdain

Call me a pessimist, but I'd be willing to bet the Republicans would put up legislation to argue that anyone that dies after the election within X number of days has their vote disqualified.

This! God damn I'm so sick of asking for a large and they give me a Venti (aka extra large) telling me "oh thats what you asked for"

You do realize your shitty size names actually have some meaning in other languages right? Grande = Large. Also 16oz = large.

That said, I think I go to them like 2 times a year now when everything else is closed and I have to choose between them and Tim Horton's.

Also, fuck corps and their decision to upsize a large to 20oz in other companies. Can't remember exactly when that started (15 years ago or so?) however I think the first ones to do it were McDonalds and Tim Horton's here in Canada.

Just makes me recall Super Size Me.

"purchasing new builds"

Hahahhahahahha.... Yeah because us Millenials and GenZ are buying new builds. Not 1970's Vancouver specials that need new windows and furnaces because that's the best our wages will support with mortgage approval rules.

Pffffft.
