Wild Rover

1. A wayward local or traveler given to spending lavishly on alcohol despite not having resources enough to justify the spending. The "wild rover" is often the "life of the bar." The term is especially used in Irish pubs.

2. A staple bar song played in Irish pubs.

3. Originally, a temperance song meant to illustrate the dangers of excessive drinking.

1.
Mike: "Looks like Jim's playing the wild rover tonight."
Joe: "Yea, he's going to be broke and have a terrible hangover in the morning!"

2.
Last Verse:
I'll go home to my parents, confess what I've done
And I'll ask them to pardon their prodigal son
And, when they've caressed me as oft times before
I never will play the wild rover no more

Chorus:
And it's No, Nay, never,
No, nay never no more
Will I play the wild rover,
No never no more

3. Written no earlier than 1829, the song’s nationality is questionable due to the fast rate at which it spread.

Perseverance Rover

The NASA perserverance rover is a rover that used MOXIE (Mars Oxygen In-Situ Resource Utilization Experiment) to generate a lot of oxygen (122g) from carbon dioxide by splitting it with a catalyst insulated by aerogel.

During the process of separating the oxygen atom, the temperature rises to 798Β° C. In this regard, MOXIE has received a gold coating and an aerogel. The presence of heat resistant materials ensures that heat is retained inside the tool. The Perseverance rover extracted oxygen from carbon dioxide 16 times, leaving carbon monoxide as a byproduct. Oxygen is good not just for future astronauts to breathe, but also to fuel rockets.

NASA: We synthesized oxygen from carbon dioxide in Mars using the Perseverance rover and an insulated catalyst.

Land Rover

A kick-ass vehicle that is simultaneously a pain in the ass to maintain.

If you buy one, within 6 months you will either a)want another one or b)set it on fire and roll it into a lake.

In stock configuration, it will (and has) outperformed other lifted vehicles.

If you don't have money and wrenching skills, stay away.

"Did that stock 109 Land Rover just pass a Jeep on the Rubicon?

"Yes."

Will you ever beat Blackburn? "No Nay Never, No Nay Never No More!" I think.
