I don't disagree, but there has been some decent stuff. In particular, I just started Doom Patrol for the first time and I'm really enjoying it

Couple a YeeHawdists up in here

git gud

Once I got past the first few paragraphs, all I learned from that is that I don't understand the Poincare conjecture or really anything about topology

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

Anytime "Killing in the Name" comes up, I have to tell the story of the time I was bringing my oldest to his second week of kindergarten and he requested this song, which was his favorite at the time.

I realized I may have created a problem for his teachers when he started shouting along with Zack "FUCK YOU, I WON'T DO WHAT YOU TELL ME!" We had have a little talk about not using adult words at school and how his kindergarten teacher really wasn't the problem with the system.

His second grade teacher, though... My son's anti-authoritarian ~~steak~~ streak served him well, there.

I'm not IT, just a college instructor, but you'd be amazed at how many Gen Z students have told me that they can't log into their email because they don't know their own password. Not even forgot; they don't even know it in the first place because every device remembers everything for them.

Jesus, I thought you were just using that as a figure of speech so that we could all understand that Space Daddy Musk was exhibiting meth-head-like tendencies, but no, he literally diverted a flight from Austin to Sac at the suggestion of his cousin, drove in a Corolla to the data center (edit: at 2 in the morning on Dec 24), and used his pocket knife to pry up the floorboards.

Fuck, how much cocaine has he been doing? He's about to hit John McAfee levels of bad decision making.

Also, Elon, I was just kidding about the "Space Daddy" stuff. If you want to send a few pounds of blow my way, HMU.
