A shocking amount of construction is not level, square, or plumb. Close enough to where it can be unnoticed is the threshold typically used.

But there’s always a lot of levels, squares, plumb lines, and measurements happening. Also, lots of math.

I adore him for making that video.

The ending absolutely does not matter. It’s not literal. It’s just a big metaphor.

You know how many of these dogs would get put down if their purpose on this world was taken away?

That’s worse to me.

I’m pretty sure the humans get the short end of the stick.

Huskies are genetically made to run fast in cold weather.

There are vets at every checkpoint and dogs get cut from teams left and right for any reason.

Fuck Balto.

And if on a touchscreen?

I like Collider’s YouTube feed.

But the real news is in the trades (The Hollywood Reporter, Variety, etc.)

Probably trying to protect their very Conservative politicians from any Larry Craig-esque scandals.

The globe in the Universal logo was flooded in Waterworld.

I think Universal generally does this sort of thing the best.

In Pitch Perfect, the logo was normal, but they used an a cappella version of the fanfare.

That is one reason genetic disorders can occur but far from the only reason.

Often times it’s just a one-off mutation that “breaks” a gene.

It can also just be a rare, recessive hereditary trait that would require both parents to be carriers of the affliction and still only give a 1 in 4 chance of the offspring having it.

Almost every month you can articles detailing what’s coming to and leaving a streamer in the next month.

It’s been a minute since I’ve seen it, but I thought it showed each of them noticing something to be suspicious of and following different people to different places.

I thought there was an intricate web of stuff going on there that just so happened to ruin all of the alibis.

But yeah, their involvement necessitated their presence. That’s life in theatre, watching the same play every night for months on end.

I do love that Tab story… next level petty.

Crystal Pepsi.

As it turns out, people expects certain flavors to look a certain way. The sensation of tasting something that doesn’t match one’s expectations based on sight is off-putting.

You deserve a bunch of upvotes for civility.

The fuel is pumped into the engine as an atomized mist. The perfect ratio is 1 part of fuel to 14.7 parts air.

So that air fuel mixture (the fuel is atomized, so it’s even distributed) then gets compressed by the engine to roundabout 1/10th of it’s original volume. For example, if each cylinder in the engine is 0.5 Liters, then that 0.5 L gets compressed 10x to fit into 0.05 L.

That’s when the spark plug creates an electric arc, igniting the compressed air/fuel mixture. Now, this is where all the chemistry comes to bear. The oxygen in the 14.7 parts of air is what actually burns. But the 1 part of fuel mixed evenly throughout the air is what spreads the flame quickly and evenly throughout the air. It works like an accelerant, kind of like lighter fluid on a barbecue.

The spark lights the fuel on fire, which then burns all the air… this creates a violent explosion and rapid expansion of hot gases that force the engine to spin and create usable power.

The problem is that with entertainment being so readily available and fragmented, it’s becoming rarer and rarer for anything to be truly, universally iconic.

Honestly, stuff like the MCU has the widest audience base and recognition across all demographics.

We”re never going to get much stuff like you’ve referenced outside of mega-franchises anymore.

At first I was like “Six Feet Under isn’t a movie.”

But then it hit to me like a bullet in the eye.

Who’s going to hold them accountable?

The people? That would take a revolution.

And half of people would line up to lick the boots of the ones that act the worst. That really hampers any hope for a revolution.

A journalist investigates the dying words of a billionaire.

An introvert comes out of her shell while doing good deeds in Paris.

Two men discuss life over dinner.

Love blossoms between two travelers exploring Vienna.

Romance simmers as two lovers contemplate what might have been in Paris.

Emotions run high as a couple vacations in Greece.

Two hippies seek their American dream on a cross-country motorcycle trip.

A marriage is tested when pettiness, jealousy, and FOMO drive a man to extreme (and dangerous) lengths in New York.

Two musicians bring out the best in each other in Dublin.

I kind f like this game.

The canning process kills bacteria with heat (the jars are “cooked” in hot water) and then vacuum seals the food so there’s no oxygen to give life to any remaining bacteria to live on.

The little pop when you open a jar for the first time is you breaking the vacuum seal and letting fresh air in for the first time since the food was put in there.

Will Smith was famously clean.

Imperialism.

The British spread their language to all reaches of the world.

But then again, so did Spain and France. (And to a much smaller degree, the Dutch and Portuguese).

But the British Empire accounts for the UK, Canada, USA, Australia, Hong Kong, India, and huge swaths of Africa.

But then America came along and began exporting culture all over the world, primarily in the medium of Hollywood films.

Over the last century, English-language films have been a huge driver of informal English language acquisition. A lot of iconic quotes and slang infiltrated other languages. Things like “OK” became commonly used outside of English because it was easy to understand and pronounce.

And then, following WWII, there was a period of American Imperialism that further cemented English in more places. The US occupied parts of Germany and Japan, Korea, Vietnam, etc.

And as the UK, and then the US became dominant world superpowers, if became apparent to other language bases that knowing English was beneficial in terms of doing business on the world stage. It”s easier to learn and teach it as a second language that to rely on everything going through translators.

Yes, if you take a massive amount of particles of a given substance, it makes that substance.

And when I say “a massive amount”, chemists used Avogadro’s Number, 6.022x10^23 units, to represent a mole of a substance.

The mass of Moles are generally measured in grams per mole.

So, that’s 602,200,000,000,000,000,000 units of something weighted in grams.

About 4 peas equal 1 gram.

It does depend a lot on the substance though. Like water, as a fluid. Flows together as looks very homogenous.

But if you’re talking about a mixture of various particles that may not blend it makes things very different. You’d likely see a few different substances (like when you smashed different colors of playdough together).
