    The satellite is just now getting fixed, because—you know—the engineers weren’t answering their pagers.

    The size of black holes are limited to what we estimate. We only know what we can see or guess. Who knows what is beyond

    A black hole walks into a bar…

    Bartender says “Oh not you again!”

    “Yeah it’s me, set me up”

    “Usual light beer?” says the bartender.

    “Of course, bring on the puns”

    Lady at the bar “So your the famous blackhole we have been hearing so much about and that you know the answer to every joke”

    Blackhole “Yeah well, nothing escapes me”

    A week ago, a midsized black hole was discovered in our own Milky Way only 18,000 light years from Earth. Three days ago, a Stegosaurus fossil was auctioned at Sotheby’s for over $44 million. Yesterday, a CrowdStrike software update to Microsoft software caused the largest computer malfunctions in world history affecting hundreds of millions of people.

    Now software companies get hacked, lie that it was a bad update and bring down tons of computers causing havoc.

    Why “mass,” “massive,” and “mass,” again? Is it because supermassive blackholes have an unknown upper limit?

    Well that’s all well and good but I asked the batista for a “venti black coffee”.

    No matter the size, black holes suck

    Stellar-mass, supermassive and intermediate-mass are just naming conventions used by scientists to describe ranges of sizes for black holes. It doesn’t mean that black holes can only come in three specific sizes.

    Where does a “Black Mass” as fit in the descriptions of black holes?

    For several years a satellite worked as intended and 80% of my co-workers continued to not work

    Let me guess, Boba Fett was trying to escape a black hole and accidentally hit one of our satellites.
