I mean, I did specify “in the real world” and that we were taking about ST, but sure, I guess it applies to SW, too.

PERC
Perchloroethylene (aka tetrachloroethene) is a completely non-polar compound, so, yes, it is a dry liquid.
I would tend to disagree with the Cambridge example, because liquids can be dry. “Dry” liquids are anhydrous, meaning they’ve been treated to remove any water.
Source: Am chemist and I teach O-Chem, which frequently uses dry solvents, like anhydrous acetone.
I don’t know about in Trek lore, but I think in the real world, when a ship is designed or used to travel from one star system to another, it’s classified as a starship
especially when they turn on in the middle of the night.
That’s a rookie move. Leave the fan on at full blast all night, and then you won’t hear the difference when the AC kicks in, plus it’s a free white-noise machine
Certainly possible, but I’m sort of a textbook mild case of ADHD, just with the side case of insomnia being fairly prominent (which was true even before medication). Everybody reacts to medication in different ways, so I’ve just found I have to rely on coping strategies more than medication for my case. It’s not a big deal and I’m at a point in my life where I can manage my ADHD symptoms in a way that doesn’t affect my life too much. So for me, the side effects of the medication exacerbate my preexisting insomnia to the point that the drawbacks of adderall outweigh the benefits for my particular brand of ADHD.
No it’s IR, but taken 20 mg in the morning and then 10 mg in the early afternoon. It just always wound up with the physical effects lingering much longer than the mental effects, so if I tried skipping the afternoon dose, then I’d wind up totally scattered and useless from about 3PM on.
The XR once in the morning worked a little better, but for whatever reason didn’t really help the same way and I still had the insomnia from it.
There are no winners here.
Source: Tried for years to overpower the insomnia from my ADHD meds with melatonin, weed, CBD:THC edibles, booze, kava, diphenhydramine, etc. before finally going cold turkey on my adderall. With enough stimulants, it doesn’t matter how much melatonin you take; you’re not gonna have a good night’s sleep edit: but you’ll also be too tired to be productive or to do anything fun
I go with music on vinyl because there’s nothing to sit to watch and the the inability to skip a song or change bands from my phone means I’m much more likely to get at least 1 side of 1 album of work done before I get distracted.
Yeah, I tend to agree, although I recently went back and listened to Incubus recently, and it’s mostly pretty good (although still dated)
The Mars Volta and White Stripes are still solid, too. Oasis still sounds ok, and Radiohead is obviously phenomenal, but they are far and away the exceptions. There was some good stuff that made it to alt rock radio stations, but the “dominating the world” bands are pretty bad now. Papa Roach, Nickelback, 3 Doors Down, etc. should be relegated to the dustbin of history
This seems sounds this is a good metric on the surface, but let’s try it out.
Corned beef on pizza? Sounds great. Sauerkraut? Uhh, ok, maybe. Mayonnaise? What the actual fuck…
It’s not 40K, but I thoroughly enjoyed Mordheim: City of the Damned, despite some bugs and rough AI in places.
In all honesty, I think it’s likely a simple mistake.
The object that artists use to hold their paints is actually a third homophone, spelled palette.
It could be that the word choice was intentional and is referencing the character’s bed, but I find it more likely that it was simply lost in translation from the original Japanese
That’s just the synesthesia talking.
… But you’re not wrong
It’s always worthwhile to be self-aware and to be conscious of the parts of your personality that others might be annoyed by or take offense to. I’m not going to change that part of my personality just to please others, but I don’t think it’s annoying to acknowledge that others might not appreciate that part of who I am.
But hey, you do you. If being your authentic self means not caring about how your words affect the feelings of others, then that’s just who you are, I guess.
blown out
palletpalate
FTFY. A pallet is a small bed or an object used for carrying things, a palate is part of the mouth or one’s ability to taste things. Pretty pedantic, I know, but I have this compulsion to correct misused homophones, so… Sorry? You’re welcome? Either way, have a great day!
Is this your suggested reading order? Is there any continuity to pay attention to for newcomers? I’ve seen Alien, Aliens, and Prometheus, as well as OG Predator 1 and 2, Predators, and Prey, but I’m pretty OOTL on the extended lore for both universes.
Ninja edit: I guess I also played AvP on PC in the early 2000’s, but I didn’t know much of what was going on in the plot.
This isn’t exactly the same because the Arlington incident actually happened and has some bearing on an ongoing political campaign as opposed to being pure speculation and misinformation.
Don’t threaten me with a good time…
It’s missing the last panel with Geordi on the Titanic
