Sardonik posted:For the curious, this is the metaphysics of the Xenosaga series. A game series which has a 4,000 year time jump in its opening cutscene. The plot also can be summarized in like 2 sentences, but is never explained clearly in the games themselves. "The universe is doomed, so an rear end in a top hat with a magic time machine keeps resetting time back to the stone age whenever things get too bad. The only person who is immune to the time loop is Cthulu, who watches everything and finds it hilarious."

 Posted by someone in another thread. It's minor, but why make right hand the left column and left hand the right column?

I guess that makes sense. I know I had a hard time trying to quickly read the table until I realized it was because I kept expecting left hand to be the left column.

Huh! I had no idea. I've never paid close attention to my glasses prescription, and only really noticed it in context of my contacts—which, you know, are just in a box that I wrote L or R on. (No stickers when they're shipped directly to me.)

https://xkcd.com/1967/ Strictly speaking, 'violin' refers to the internal structure of the data. The external portion visible in the plot is called the 'viola.'

The overall shape is called the violin, but the resonating aperture is called the f-hole.

Like you say that, but strontium-90 is about 33,320 cals per mole, last generation was obviously just getting all their dietary cals from nuclear fall out from all those daily nuclear tests they had back then!

Are 42 oz cups widely available at fast food restaurants? That feels like the absurdly huge sizes they sell at gas stations for road trips. The largest one I can think of seeing at a restaurant is 30 oz, which is still ginormous, but also quite a bit smaller.

Oh wow, I guess it is me who is out of touch. I have a couple 30 oz plastic cups around since they're pretty handy, and I thought they were at the high end of what I'd seen at fast food joints.

This is one of the times that I'm not looking up how much an oz is in real measurements because I don't need to know how insane amounts of sugar y'all are drinking. At least dehydration isn't an issue I guess?
