The scarlet letter was her passport into regions where other women dared not tread. Shame, Despair, Solitude! These had been her teachers, stern and wild ones, and they had made her strong, but taught her much amiss.

Christ, what a badly-shot fight sequence. The two combatants clearly never come anywhere close to each other when contact is supposedly made. Lots of shots where someone is doing big "impressive" moves while the only one on-screen. There's no tension.

Anyway, on the topic of capoeira:

I just realised that radio frequencies is literally the frequency of the electromagnetic radiation.

Radio station 96 FM or whatever is literally emitting photons with a frequency of 96 MHz, just as the colour red is photons with a frequency of 400–480 THz.

Yeah the EM spectrum is weird and cool. My wife did a PhD where she did a lot of measurements with various lasers/an electron microscope, and it was really fuckin cool to just go hang out casually in the giant laser room while she fiddled with things.

One time I even helped by identifying a bad cable. :)

I always figured Skeletor was a skeleton in a body suit too. It never occurred to me that he might be a blue muscle dude with no flesh on his skull.

I saw a scene from I THINK the early 2000's reboot of He-Man (thought might have been the more recent one) where Skeletor gets cursed and his face skin is, like, magically dissolved away as part of some curse or failing to do what he was supposed to do for some old witch lady?

I can't entirely remember and I can't find the scene.

Aries is a terrible constellation. Just a short bent line. Sagittarius is rad and totally looks like a teapot, and Capricorn has been called "the bikini bottom" which is at least more believable than "the water goat"

Slightly off-topic, but I was recently on a trip to the southern hemisphere. And lemme tell you, you think those constellations are bad? Go to the southern hemisphere where they have such things as a bunch of lines (telescope), a diamond, a triangle, and a different diamond (cross).

The Zodiac ones at least kinda sorta look like what they're supposed to be, if you squint. Old timey explorers down there seriously phoned it in!

That "different cross" happens to feature in verse 2 of the Australian national anthem. Which doesn't get taught / sung much for some reason*

* the bit about welcoming boat people.

Beneath our radiant Southern Cross
We’ll toil with hearts and hands;
To make this Commonwealth of ours
Renowned of all the lands;
For those who’ve come across the seas
We’ve boundless plains to share;
With courage let us all combine
To Advance Australia Fair.
In joyful strains then let us sing,
Advance Australia Fair.
