Kepler-442B is a confirmed Super-Earth exoplanet orbiting within the habitable zone of its star approximately 1206 light years from Earth. It is considered by many scientific experts to be the planet most suitable for life (as of July 2021), even more so than the Earth.
General Statistics
Semi-major axis: 0.409 AU
Eccentricity: ~0.04
Orbital Period: 112 Days
Inclination: ~90°
Mean radius: 1.34 Râ
Mass: 2.3 Mâ
Gravity: 1.3G
Temperature (without a Planetary Atmosphere): -40°C/40°F
Kepler-442B might be the best planet discovered so far for life to emerge, but the planet best suited for humans will likely always be the Earth.
Pink Gold Peach is a variant of Princess Peach from the Super Mario series by Nintendo. She first appeared in a kart racing game called Mario Kart 8 and appeared in several Mario titles after that. She is composed of gold and is colored pink (hence the name), and has a voice somewhat similar to Princess Peach. She is considered by Gaming Youtuber Nathaniel Bandy to be the most unoriginal character Nintendo has ever produced, and is also the bane of his existence.
Person 1: Why does Pink Gold Peach exist? Sheâs unoriginal and is clearly just a copy of Princess Peach.
Person 2: To be Metal Marioâs girlfriend of course!
Person 1: (Internally screaming)

The 2021 Texas Power Crises was a mass scale power outage that occurred throughout most of Texas from February 10th-20th. This outage was caused by several winter storms and ultimately caused 5 million Texans to lose power, for days or even weeks.
After the event, it is thought that at least 111 people died (mainly from Carbon Monoxide Poisoning and Hypothermia). Furthermore, the storm caused anywhere from 195-295 billion dollars in damage, making it the deadliest disaster in Texasâs History.
While the cause of this disaster was the Snow Storm, many believe that ERCOT, an organization that manages Texasâs electric grid, was responsible. They point out how ERCOT was negligent of the situation as they took few precautions prior to the storm. Either way, however, the impacts of what occurred are still ongoing as some Texans (as of April 14th) are without power.
Bob: âRemember that terrible outage in Texas during CoVid-19?â
Jim: âOh yeah. I think itâs called the 2021 Texas Power Crises.â

Emperor Norton (1818-1880) was a resident of San Francisco and self proclaimed Emperor of the United States and later on was the Protector of Mexico.
Born in England in 1818, Norton would spend most of his early years in South Africa. He would then move to San Francisco in late 1849. Norton then became a trader and real estate speculator, and was also one of the wealthier residents in the city. However, he became destitute when he attempted to corner the rice market.
Soon after, Norton decided to proclaim himself Emperor of the United States. He issued various edicts which included dissolving the US Congress, building a bridge in San Francisco, and creating a âLeague of Nationsâ.
Soon, people treated Emperor Norton as if he were an actual emperor. They would formally greet him, accept his own imperial currency, and even the Police would salute him.
In fact, the King of Hawaii, Kamehameha V, would recognize Emperor Norton as the sole ruler of the United States.
Emperor Norton was also considered a very progressive man, attempting to peacefully stop an Anti-Chinese riot. He was also very friendly by those who met him.
Eventually, Emperor Norton would pass away on January 8th, 1880. His Funeral was paid for by the Pacific Club, and 10,000 people showed up to pay their respects.
"⦠he had shed no blood; robbed no one; and despoiled no country; which is more than can be said of his fellows in that line".
