Hyperlynx posted:General relativity says gravity is the result of matter bending spacetime. Like putting a bowling ball on a trampoline makes the trampoline sag, and if you roll a tennis ball across the trampoline, it will curve towards the bowling ball. E=MC^2 means it's hard to get up to relativistic velocities and the harder you push the more energy you need and it ends up with https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fermi_paradox Why are we so lonely? Is it because we suck? No, clearly it is the aliens who are wrong.

There's a joke in the first Simpsons Halloween special where Bart says it "Mac-a-bree" that went completely over my head.

Chillbro Baggins posted:Melvil Dewey (his spelling), of library-organization fame, was the guy that wanted to radically simplify spelling. Theodore Rossevelt was one of his supporters, but the movement never took off. I thought you were doing the name but then I realized you just misspelt it. Also misspelt may or may not be a word depending on who you ask.

Sean Aries' book codifying the commonest spellings of English words along with their definitions and pronunciations was titled by him (a newspaper seller by trade and not an authority on grammar) How to Spell Words Good. Later descriptivists would use the word dictionary, a libelous slur against Aries (a notorious drinker, gambler and frequenter of ratting dens) based on its frequent use in publications as their generic noun for such a book. Before his death from chronic dysentery in 1811 Aries pleaded to establish a governing body for words but out of the many that sprang up no consensus could be found and the word remains in common use. Ironically prescriptivists sought to punish those with poor or alternative spelling or typing skills with the website "dictoinary.com" among other variations with sites plagued with flashing text, pop-ups and loud .midi files. Those sites have since been squatted as redirects for malware sites posing as "adult games". We would like to believe Aries would be pleased.

I thought it was the whole reason why Scrooge McDuck was called Scrooge to begin with, but the character predates it by almost 40 years. uh actually Scrooge was a comic character From uh a while back it predates duck tales

I get that facts get changed to make the story work better, but the whole sequence of Freddie falling out with the band and his solo work being a sign of of his out of control ego bothered me more than I expected. I was really hoping they would show him performing the Highlander songs I dunno maybe that was a studio only thing but Who Wants to Live Forever is a rocking good time
