I’d like a counter of how many people have quit after not knowing where to go when you had to kneel in that one specific place for that specific amount of time to have a tornado come and take you whatever place it was.

Ripley canonically had a daughter named Amanda who died while Ripley was in stasis between Alien and Aliens. Amanda Ripley is the player character in Alien: Isolation.

“Romneycare” was already taken, and as an uninformed Canadian, isn’t it basically similar?

There’s also the classic “no three positive integers a, b, and c to satisfy a**n + b**n = c**n for values of n greater than 2“ trick but my proof is too large to fit in this comment.

If all of the digits summed recursively reduce to a 9, then the number is divisible by 9 and also by 3.

If the difference between the sums of alternating sets digits in a number is divisible by 11, then the number itself is divisible by 11.

That’s all I can remember, but yay for math right?

That was also part of the reason, yes. It was a planet that has both — similar humanoids and a yellow sun. If earth was populated by a race of sentient arachnids with a yellow sun, it would have been a pass.

I think part of the reason his parents chose earth was because they knew that humans were so similar looking to Kryptonians. They didn’t send them to, like, the equivalent of a Klingon planet or whatever for this reason. Earth was chosen purposefully, not at random.

This was basically the plot of Stephen King’s Sleepwalkers.
