Just found out that MASH was set during the Korean War. I spent my entire life thinking it was the Vietnam War. I never watched much MASH, but this still a "wait, whaaat?" kind of moment.

you're half right, it was ostensibly set in Korea but was actually about the Vietnam war

Don't forget the town of Miami, Oklahoma, which is pronounced "Miam-uh." Local newscasters carefully pronounce the Oklahoma town as Miam-uh while correctly saying "Miami" for the city in Florida.

In North Dakota there's Hebron, pronounced HEE-brun.

so it's MEE-am UH? :thunk:

So 'comfortably cool' would be just as effective, then
depends on what you're doing. some fats only melt around ~20-25*C, and unmelted fat does not bind with the surfactants in soap as well as it would melted(mostly because it'll be stuck on your hands).

American toilets have a higher water line so you don't have to keep a poo poo brush next to it all the time.
it's actually lower, the bowl being higher up doesn't make the waterline higher

The Depp version is totally fine. People have a ton of weird nostalgia for the old one, it's a great movie and a classic, but the Depp one isn't the unholy abomination that people love to make it out as.
Depp isn't Gene Wilder, Burton's reliance on CGI is obnoxious to watch and blah blah blah exposition blah blah

Roald Dahl has publicly said he prefers the Depp movie over the Wilder movie iirc, because yes, it is.

Death of the author. :colbert:
I know it's :thejoke: but Dahl wouldn't have liked the remake for the same reason he didn't like the original: it's too much about Wonka and not enough about Charlie.

A weird old recluse who's managed to make candy that literally never gets consumed, has a flying elevator that can go anywhere in the world, and invented drinks that make people fly is apparently more interesting than some broke kid who lives off of cabbage, what can I tell you
good point, that was exactly the reason why the book is titled "Weirdo recluse makes chocolate and also some kid eats cabbage soup"

It's something like 7milliseconds fast because of height, and 45ms slow because of speed for a net loss of 38ms/day that GPS sats have to be adjusted for.

you're off by an order of magnitude there. gps satellites are faster than us by 38700 nanoseconds, which would be 0.0387 milliseconds.

You mean beef tenderloin, right?

no

the link you're quoting posted:

In French this cut is always called filet de bœuf, which translates in English to beef fillet. The reason that this cut in French is always called filet de boeuf is because, in French, filet mignon always means pork tenderloin.

you're right; it's not difficult, however you seem to have left a bit off with your quote
here, let me help.

quote:

Filet mignon (/ˌfiːleɪ ˈmiːnjɒ̃/;[1] French for "tender fillet" or "delicate/fine fillet") is a steak cut of beef taken from the smaller end of the tenderloin, or psoas major of the cow carcass, usually a steer or heifer. In French this cut is always called filet de bœuf, which translates in English to beef fillet. The reason that this cut in French is always called filet de boeuf is because, in French, filet mignon always means pork tenderloin.
