Experts […] have updated 2024 YR4’s chance of impacting the Moon on Dec. 22, 2032 from 1.7% as of late February to 3.8% based on the Webb data and observations from ground-based telescopes.

So still a pretty small chance.

Don’t worry guys, it’ll be made by Boeing. No need to shoot at it, it’ll fall from the sky by itself.

Maybe I'm missing something, but what is the damage in this screenshot?

Apparently not. There are 2 reasons for this: while Neptune's and Pluto's orbits overlap on images, they overlap in such a way they never overlap on the same 3D point in space. Ther is also gravitational resonance[2], where each planet speeds up or slows down as the other approaches

Now, I am not American and don't really follow the news, but to me it looks like a 'Government shutdown' is averted every few months. Is this normal?

But the rules of Portal is that the portals themselves break when moved by any substantial extent anyways

Except when the rules don't apply

I think the point of the community isn't 'Fuck you for driving a car!' but more like 'We should focus on affordable public transport, proper cycling lanes and walkable neighbourhoods instead of focussing on expanding car infrastructure, turning nature parks into parking lots and urban sprawl'.
