Jul 15 Word of the Day
The safeguarding of Earth and other worlds from biological cross-contamination (i.e. billionaires with too much time on their hands).
Also known as “planetary protection.” Planetary protection / quarantine “reflects both the unknown nature of the space environment and the desire of the scientific community to preserve the pristine nature of celestial bodies until they can be studied in detail.”
There are two types of interplanetary contamination. Forward contamination is the transfer of viable organisms from Earth to another celestial body. Back contamination is the transfer of extraterrestrial organisms, if such exist, back to the Earth's biosphere.

Billionaires are having a dick swinging space race while the earth experiences record breaking heatwaves that cause sea creatures to literally cook inside their shells. We need planetary quarantine.

A unit of measure that is 1/1000th of an inch. The term can also be used interchangeably with "thou" witch is simply much shorter than saying "thousandths of an inch". The advent of the metric system has generated some confusion as some have used the term "mil" as an abbreviation for the millimeter (mm). The only thing that they share is that each is 1000th of something. The traditional "mil" is 1 thousandth of an inch and the millimeter is 1 thousandth of a meter.
Although the unit seems impossibly small it is very common in industries where an inch is absurdly large such as film (for plastic bags), foil, and wires.
1 mil = 1 thou = 0.001" = 0.0254mm

This is a pretty precise measuring tool, it says that a single strand of my hair is 2 mil thick.
No wonder the bags keep ripping there only 1 mil thick. See if you can order 3 mil bags.

a coniving, two-faced, BITCH who manipulates your husband into becoming a baby again, so that she can make him hate you the way that she does...a trouble maker, a nuissance to your peaceful marriage...someone who should not know about your personal life because she will go and gossip about you to the whole church and tell them how awful you are at treating her babyish son. your husband's mom..the one person that you can truly live without!
MIL to church: "my daughter in law hates me, it makes me so sad."
MIL to her own sisters: "i hate my daughter in law..she can't even do things half as good as I can. i told her that I don't care if she doesn't love me cuz she's just an outsider"
