  • I have firstname.lastname@ Gmail, again from when it was invite only, as well as yahoo, and Hotmail from when it hadn’t been bought by MS

    Thankfully only ≈ 800 people worldwide have the same spelling as my first name none of which are older than me, and none of them have the unique combo of my first and last name, so I don’t have those shenanigans happening









  • Technically the nearest galaxy to us doesn’t have a name, just a designation, and is only like 10,000 stars, but it’s currently about 10,000-15,000 light years away, so we’re actually closer to the center of that galaxy than we are to our own, and possibly were closer to everything in that galaxy than we are the center of The Milky Way. The Milky Way is expected to absorb that galaxy into itself in the next few hundred million years though, IIRC.

    Also Andromeda and The Milky Way are already “touching” each other.
