We figured it out in the last millennium, I think we can figure it out again.

The real reason would probably be that you'd need to make the soles out of rubber again instead of the cheap foam that almost all modern (fast fashion disposable) shoes are made with these days.

There isn't really isn't much call for the level of precision this person is suggesting in most recipes. Liquids mostly aren't going to vary in volume enough to warrant the effort of converting recipes you find. Solids that flow, like sugar and flour are better measured by mass using a scale if you're baking. Oxo makes a scale that I've been pretty happy with (slim, precise, and has a detachable face so that you can read it even when there's a big bowl on top). The OXO brand also has some very easy to read volumetric pictures of various sizes. For lots of uses (like water/rice or water/oatmeal ratios) a measuring cup is still going to be good enough. Even if you feel like you can't read the level all that precisely, it's probably going to be close enough for the vast majority of recipes.

  • Kashmir - Led Zeppelin. Really anything from Physical Graffiti or by John Bonham.
  • Caravan - Buddy Rich
  • The Blues Walk - Max Roach & Clifford Brown
  • Tom Sawyer - Rush. Or really anything else with Neil Peart.
  • John the Fisherman - Primus. They won't be the same since Tim "Herb" Alexander left the band, but I'm sure he has his reasons.(also: Hamburger Train, Over the Electric Grapevine, Tommy the Cat, Mr. Knowitall, Harold of the Rocks)
  • Discipline - King Crimson (also: Thela Hun Ginjeet and most of the rest of the album, which seems to mostly treat the guitar as a percussion instrument more than most.)

Sorry if these are cliche.

That's not what happened in the show though.

What actually happened: She read her grandmother's journal that had surprisingly spicy bits. Went to bed and was raped by a non-corporeal being and deceived into thinking it was a dream. She then tried to rationalize this disturbing dream to her close friend and therapist.

Trying to twist this into something else is just creepy

So what? You're awfully proud of your hangups. Everybody's grandmother had a lover or lovers. Everybody's grandmother FUCKED. Stop making totally normal life experiences weird and shameful.

There are lots of ways to fill a 2D space with a single non-crossing path. I'm sure counting the ways could be interesting to some. I guess you'd prefer a zig-zag oriented orthogonal to the sides, rather than the corners. This orientation fills the frame of a photo a little better though given the perspective. You could also make a spiral. I think the Hilbert space filling curve is way more interesting, but probably would make for a confusing photo.

I guess women aren't allowed to be sexual? No excusing the other sexist Rick Berman nonsense. But if you really think women reading about, finding pleasure in, and talking about erotic literature with their friends and co-workers isn't a fairly common, mundane, and totally normal thing to do without any shame, then I really don't know what to say. This feels like a really creepy thing to take issue with.

You can save the entire ship, cure random space diseases, raise a child alone on a starship faced with existential threats on the daily, but you fuck one ghost and now men only see you as the ghost-fucker.

They are trapped in an artificial reality. They (the characters in the show, not the real people) didn't do a full loop. They went straight out and got dimensional flipped back inside

That would be quite a surprising find indeed. I'm pretty sure that we would have already observed the gravitational effects of such a planet though. The Planet X and Planet Y the article refers to are out on the fringes of the solar system with Pluto, which is still pretty neat I think.

Because shows got a tax break for things like this.
