I’ve had good luck with rubbing alcohol to remove the gooey mess. You’ll end up with bare plastic instead of the rubber grip, but that’s an improvement over sticky.

The local PBS station carried a science show called Newton’s Apple. Not only was the content amazing to a nerdy kid, the theme song was way too cool for a PBS show.

That and Animaniacs.

On the other hand, he Doesn’t think you can double a sphere by cutting it into 5 pieces and reassembling them, so there’s that.

I think the comic is pointing out a funny hypocrisy that we usually have between land bugs and sea bugs, but they are all bugs.

Indeed.

The original post used the word bugs, not insects. (Although the pic does seem to show only insects, I’d interpret that as a stock image fail)

Bugs are such a wide group already that to me it seems reasonable to include branches separated by 400 million years of evolution, much the way ‘fish’ is such a wide group that by a scientifically reasonable definition it can include all vertebrates as a subgrouping.

Can those values actually go above 1 even in theory?

“Bugs” (obviously not specifically Hemiptera) includes a Lot more than just insects. If you go back to the most recent common ancestor of everything commonly called a bug, I’m sure it’s Way back there and its descendents would include not only ocean arthropods but I’d guess probably most things with shells. Possibly just most animals

And yes, we are that closely related to fish

Word of warning, I did this (gfx.webrender.compositor.force-enabled) on my Tuxedo OS system with Nvidia and I don’t know if it was just the next time I started Firefox or because said restart was after a big system update, but Firefox crashed on launch every time until managed to get it into safe mode (wasn’t as easy as holding shift) and then turned this back off.

The first sentence had me thinking this was a ‘Gen-Z doesn’t know PCs’ thing.

It got so much better.

I mostly agree, but there’s a few holes in that flowchart:

My favorite vegetables are salt and ice.

There are two unexplained phenomena that I currently believe in (but either could change at any time - by being explained or by being shown not to exist.)
They are dark matter and dark energy.

But ghosts and stuff? Certainly not.

Obviously “Cry, bark, groan”.

That’s effectively just the bottom track, where an uncountable number of people (literally) will die as soon as the train reaches position (0.

It’s not wrong, Tumblr was more popular for a while, although this makes it look like the crossing happened in 2011:

Tumblr peaked in 2013 and took a sharp downturn, then crossed back under Blog by 2019 (Gee, I wonder why it didn’t recover… 🔞)

Experiencing mental distress.

How? Did you have ancestry somewhere that let you immigrate back? Family still there? Something else?

I’d love to find a way out for my family, but don’t know of any options.

I’d say that the original statement not including “sometimes” does in fact make it the ‘not a fact’ type of factoid!

I wish that was updated for the current year (and beyond) It’s important to know when giving OP’s statement whether it’s outside the sun at the moment
