And all proof we existed as a species will disappear in one of these ways.

Near- to medium-term (next ~1 billion years,)

Extremely large planetary collision — Mars-/Mercury-sized rogue planet or massive protoplanet impact ? melts/vaporizes crust, sterilizes planet

Very close gamma-ray burst (GRB) from merging neutron stars/black holes — direct beam within ~100–6,000 light-years ? strips ozone + massive radiation ? boils oceans in extreme cases

Extremely nearby supernova — within ~30–50 light-years ? massive radiation + heat ? destroys ozone, sterilizes surface + deep ocean in strongest cases

Massive supervolcano swarm + climate feedbacks — extreme prolonged volcanic winter + anoxic oceans ? total biosphere collapse (very unlikely to kill everything)

Giant asteroid/comet shower (e.g., triggered by stellar flyby) — multiple Chicxulub-scale+ impacts ? global firestorms, impact winter, ocean boiling in extreme scenarios

Very long-term (inevitable unless life escapes elsewhere)~0.8–1.3 billion years —

Solar brightening ? CO2 starvation + extreme heat ? multicellular life dies, then eukaryotes, finally most prokaryotes
~1.5–2.8 billion years —

Continued solar heating ? last microbes die in shrinking refugia (high-latitude ponds, deep caverns, atmosphere)

Sun enters red giant phase ? Earth engulfed/swallowed or roasted to molten rock ? total sterilization

Sun becomes white dwarf ? Earth (if surviving) becomes frozen rogue cinder in permanent darkness

Reformation of a supercontinent (often called Pangaea Ultima or Pangaea Proxima) around 250 million years from now will likely destroy most complex life—especially mammals—by creating extreme global heat and aridity from increased volcanic CO2 emissions, a brighter aging Sun, vast inland deserts far from oceans, and temperatures exceeding 40–70°C across most of the landmass, rendering over 90% of Earth's surface uninhabitable and triggering a mass extinction event for land-dwelling species.

Of course there are billion other ways of which we have not even the ability to understand.

It obviously is (don't know why this is news). The issue isn't the price increase; if most of us actually talked the real issue, it'd be the musicians aren't getting the raise, or getting enough to begin with.

I’ve accepted being social for work. And I’ve accepted being social around family and friends. What I need to be better at is just telling people no.

I feel bad for my friend, but my advice is never taken anyway. I’m basically there to be a sounding board because his ex girlfriend was a bipolar cheater. Do I really need to be there for cousin John’s birthday celebration? Can I not just chill with dog at home and have a beer and not get backlash?

Since you can't say 'no', apparently not.

One day, you'll realize you're closer to death than birth.

And then you will be free.

I'll defend him. Think Tomlin is a great coach. He's been dealt a crap roster and QB situation for years yet still has a winning record every year and makes the playoffs.

Guy is a great coach but he needs to move on. He needs a reset and a new environment.

Seems to be a reasonable take.

re: Will we eventually see people opt out of the NFL entirely?

Posted by deltadummy on 1/13/26 at 7:05 pm to Powerman

I'd imagine this has already occurred, hasn't it? Some guy that, if he put in the effort, could probably get to a practice squad and get called up here or there and be an NFL started for half year or something. But made a couple of million by now and said I've got enough to start something. Long time ago - 20 years or so - lineman up at Rhode Island or something was graded as 3rd round or so, but had been intent when growing up on being a neurosurgeon. Said the NFL would waste 4 years of his life when the path was so long, so he skipped the draft and went to med school. Think someone could make $5M or so and say frick it. Quite often, actually.
