Who paying for these astroids to be tracked?!??? Maybe if a few astroids hit the earth it would wake a few people up!!!People like Chris Roberts! A dinosaur killer right down the snoze would be perfecto...
Why do you keep coloring words in your comment? I think that's worse than CAPS.

However if this April really was the first time someone sighted this asteroid, which I'm not yet convinced of. I still find it difficult to believe an asteroid of this size with a orbital period of 2.51 years could have gone unnoticed until now. We have been surveying local space for these things for quite a while now. If the orbital period was 10 or 15 years, then it would make a lot more sense.

I noticed a headline about this asteroid making a "close" pass of Earth recently. Can someone explain to me why an asteroid with an orbital period of 2.51 years which passes within the orbit of our moon was only seen for the first time on 14 Apr 2018?
Maybe it's just odd verbiage? They are saying the first sighting, but they mean the first sighting on this pass?

Starbucks tweets, "On 5/29, we'll close US company-owned stores to conduct racial-bias training to address implicit bias & prevent discrimination. We're taking a hard look at who we are as a company. We’re ashamed & recognize that racial bias is a problem we must address." I didn't know this was a thing.
It's a thing because there have been a series of unfortunate events at Starbucks recently involving African Americans who were just minding their own business. In addition to being the right thing to do, Starbucks clientele has a fairly liberal bent so it's good business to appear that you take racial equality seriously.

Looks like they're trying hard to not be.
Because they're taking steps to treat their most rapidly growing demographic the same as they do other demographics?
