Thank you. Mimosas? I’m not sure what that means. So I have to pass on that for now.
Does the chicken have to be fried?
Will try one next time in the streets of Philadelphia.
Ya, I think it's almost always fried. In Philly, they might just tell you to get back to Maryland if you asked for it. They can be a little weird about food. Brotherly-lovey, yes, but a little weird. Steak sandwich bought on a sidewalk is a better bet there.
And a mimosa is another name for the silk tree, and also an alcoholic drink made with champagne and orange juice and served with brunch, which is the usage here. Like a screwdriver, tequila sunrise, gin fizz, or bloody mary, it falls into the "hair of the dog that bit you" school of hangover cures.

Champagne and orange juice? It’s a waste of orange juice or champagne or both.
So what town or city do you recommended when it comes to the fried chicken and waffles per $?
Sorry to disappoint you Dave.
But a black hole the size of Manhattan anywhere near our little corner of the galaxy would be devastating.
If a black hole that size were on Earth ...anywhere...
Let alone Antarctica ...
The very moment it appeared...
You and everyone one else, and everyrhing else...and the entirety of the Earth and its contents would instantaneously be squashed and compressed until there was virtually no space between the atoms...and all of it and us included ...reduced to about the size of a pea...of compressed matter...most likely smaller..
Soooo...
No .
No black hole in the Antarctic .
Bad enough it is melting at a rate not expected or anticipated .
That's right. Dave's article is poor in details but let's assume "two thirds of the size of Manhattan" refers to the longest dimension of said island.
According to Wikipedia, "Manhattan Island is 22.7 square miles (59 km2) in area, 13.4 miles (21.6 km) long and 2.3 miles (3.7 km) wide, at its widest".
2/3 of 21.6 km is 14.4 km. A black hole with that diameter would have a mass about 4.85 x 10^30 kg, i.e. about 2.43 Suns.
The black hole, Antarctica and the whole Earth would no longer orbit the Sun. Instead, it would become the larger partner of the binary Antarctica-Sun star system, with disastrous consequences for the entire solar system, disturbing the orbits of all the planets including the Oort cloud and spraying a shower of rogue planets and asteroids around our star neighbourhood.
In a few million ears one of those rogue objects might reach a planet orbiting Sirius and smash into it. Any dinosaurs living on that planet might wonder what is going on. Little would they know that it was all caused by Dave999's misreading of a quasi-scientific web article lacking some crucial details.
y'know....I read a great book on quantum theory..and in it was the theory that since we affect change simply by observation at the sub atomic level...and that consequently we also have been affecting the development of our universe around us significantly as well...
and the postulation was that we may very well by our observations be doing far more harm than Dave's misinterpreted Black hole ...on the universe itself...causing cataclysms on uninhabited planets, regions, and inhabited planets throughout the universe...
Freaky....that we may have , are or possibly will be inadvertently destroying alien inhabited civilizations without even being aware of it directly ...
Dave would be so upset by this so don't tell him...
It would explain past Alien sightings ...and the recent "debris" of the light sail called "Oumuamua".....
it may very well have been part of a ship full of alien dignitaries headed to Earth that were inadvertently exploded before arriving ...by some child in South Wales casual glance and thought ...while having an ice cream cone.

So the story is not about a black hole as in space. Its a Discovery by nasa?
But space black hole.
Have you seen the core?
Imagine if we can control the black hole. Make sure it only consume light in one direction. Mount it in front of a tank and driving around and consume everything in front of the tank.
I doubt that it would work though...
It would eat everything around it including the containment and mount you had it on...
the riding lawnmower with umbrella and drink tray you are riding in...
oops ...the "tank" you are in...I meant to say..
and then it would start burrowing very rapidly (since the weight of it would be overwhelming) ...eating all the way...to the core of the planet...and then start munching on the planet from the inside out....
Sorry man...we got no "Unobtainium" to make a containment device for something like a black hole....
Afraid all we have right now is stuff that would end up feeding it.
There was a bad film about a research center with a business ceo who thought it was a good idea to create a black hole here on earth in "safely" confined conditions...
Epic disaster film....(and really a bad modern B film to boot)

Ok. But since universe might be 2D the black hole can only eat stuff like pacman. If you are behind it should not affect you.
I think we need to learn more it. It sounds like sci-FI today...but a million year from now.
