  • We are all cursed with knowledge on this wretched day

  • 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

  • Again with the toxic shaming. Nobody, except you, said anything about masturbation. Stop being fucking weird.

    Wait are you Rick Berman?

  • 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.

  • Double it and give it to the next person

  • 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

  • 'Planet Y' theory hints at hidden Earth-size world lurking in the solar system — and it could be much closer to us than 'Planet Nine'

    Jump

  • 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.

  • Thank You Lieutenant D.A.R.E.

  • Because shows got a tax break for things like this.

  • What are things you know because of your personal interests that most people have no idea about ?

  • EV that does not track my every move

    Jump

  • Have you? Several of the first few cars I drove did not have power steering and without any doubt or hesitation I can say they were not as safe to drive. And having been personally struck by a vehicle at slow speeds I'm pretty confident that your argument there doesn't hold up to scrutiny. I'm not saying they can't be driven. I'm saying that they are less safe, the same way cars without anti-lock breaks are less safe. Both require extra training and practice to operate safely in an emergency situation, training that is increasing difficult to get because most people drive cars that have had these essential safety features for their entire lives.

  • EV that does not track my every move

    Jump

  • You need power steering. That's not even a luxury, that's a safety feature. Being able to steer the car quickly and without excessive force is kinda important. You going to be trying to convince us that A.B.S., air bags, and seatbelts are a luxury next? Just get a damn bike or ride the bus.

  • Sounds like something a sea lion would say.

  • The diffraction effects from a pinhole camera are not what make them work.

    I didn't say this, you did. You're chasing your own tail.

  • I c it!

    Jump

  • The ratio of the size of the image to the distance from the pinhole is the same as the ratio of the size of the sun to the distance to the sun.

  • I c it!

    Jump

  • A pinhole camera has no lens. The effect here is like a pinhole camera, but a pinhole camera is nothing at all like a lens. Pinholes diffract light. Lens refract light.

    EDIT: Of course you can't resolve an image through diffraction. That's not how pinholes cameras work. Diffraction negatively impacts image resolution, but it absolutely happens when light passes through them. But, although lens do use refraction to resolve an image, that same process also has unintended negative effects on image resolution (spherical aberration, chromatic aberration, etc.). I didn't bring up any of that because it was ultimately a distraction from the important part: narrow gaps diffract light, lens refract light, and pinhole cameras do not work like lens.

  • The horror

    Jump

  • Because there isn't much of a risk of food borne illness from bacteria inside the flesh of the fish. The big concern there, especially salmon, is the parasites. That's why salmon is flash frozen on the boat as soon after it's caught as possible, to kill those parasites. That flash freezing is also the only reason salmon is used in modern sushi. Properly handled, salmon is about as (if not less) dangerous than a steak with regards to bacteria. Pretty much any bacteria present will be on the surface, not inside the flesh, so those get killed w once you've cooked the outside. As with anything, the risk of bacteria isn't zero, but it's small enough that most people need not worry about cooked it until it is a dry chewy abomination.

    Jump

  • That sounds like a lot of work. And I'm not fan of steamed fish. Salmon is like the easiest fish to pan fry.

    • Heat a tablespoon (this can be a literal spoon from your table, no need for precision here) or two of olive oil to its smoke point on a pan. If it's smoking a lot turn the heat down.
    • Lightly (using course) salt salmon.
    • Add to hot pan. Don't worry if it sticks a little.
    • When the salmon has changed color to right around halfway from the pan to the top of the salmon, flip it over. At this point if the pan is hot enough, even a steel pan should have released the fish. After the flip, watch the color continue to change.
    • When it looks like a fish you want to eat (and the fish stops sticking) remove from the pan and plate. The edges should be a delicious crispy golden color. This is where all the best flavors get together. You don't even need to worry about it being cooked through. I like it a little closer to raw on the inside.

    The whole process takes about 5 minutes plus the time it takes to preheat the pan. I have an induction range, so the pan preheats in the time it takes me to salt the salmon.

  • You could probably just use some unbleached linen or cheese cloth, aka a non-decorative towel, since that is the reusable material that paper towels replaced in our modern disposable society.

  • Scientists Just Made Light Speed Visible. The Images Will Break Your Brain.

    Jump

  • I think our brains are pretty good at ignoring or abstracting/simplifying things we see that we don't understand, almost too good. That's just magic, optical illusion, or hallucination. Getting high is like chemical circuit bending. I feel staring into the void alone won't be enough drive one mad, it's when the void stares back and forces awareness, or knowing, that one has to worry. The non-euclidian architecture of R'leyh is just unsettling, but the stare of a multidimensional being can't help but bend your circuits beyond their limits.

    There was that one short story though about FTL travel, wherein the conscious passengers must be asleep for the journey through hyperspace (or whatever that story called it). Some people stated awake through the trip and came out the other side mad. The hyperspace itself wasn't enough to break their brains though, it was just that an instantaneous trip from the sleepers' perspective, became an infinitely long (in time) trip from the waking conscious perspective. At that point, what they saw didn't really matter, it was a forced perception or awareness without the solice of "not knowing" that broke their brains.

    None of this is science, just rambling nonsense.
