What do you know today that you didn't know yesterday?

General Colin Powell once visited the Star Trek TNG set and took the captain's chair on the Enterprise-D bridge.

Stephen Hawking, while visiting the TNG sets, casually pointed toward the warp core and stated, "I'm working on that!"

Today I learned that I finally made a thread that reached 100 pages.

I could have left behind camping gear that we really didn't need and brought a third guitar -and- a speaker cabinet instead.

I'm really getting too old to sleep on the ground for more than three nights in a row.

This fleabag motel is the goddamnedTaj Majal.

Back when I volunteered for the BSA, I got a Thermarest sleeping pad. If you are going to spend a lot of time on the ground henceforth, I highly recommend the 1-1/4" thick version. Best sleep I ever got on the ground on a back packing trip. The 3/4" version just doesn't cut it.

Rare steak is not as dangerous to eat as other kinds of raw meat because the bacteria remains on the surface of the meat.

I've had too many leaky thermarests to trust them any more, I use a Z-Rest.

This is canard. It goes like this:

RARE: Barely warm on the outside. The inside is swarming with bacteria.

MEDIUM RARE: Hot and brown on the outside, and a little bit on the inside. All bacteria still alive and kicking.

MEDIUM: Very brown on the outside and most of the inside. The bacteria have retreated to the very centre of the meat and are getting tired of this shit.

MEDIUM WELL: Brownish-black on the outside, grey throughout. The weakest bacteria have been killed, the rest are becoming organized.

WELL DONE: The outside no longer qualifies as ‘food’, but can be removed and used for asphalt repair and patching car tires. Only the strongest bacteria are left and have sworn to avenge their fallen brethren.

‘Shrimp scampi’ is redundant.

That I am basically completely unprotected against COVID because I had the J&J shot in March.

 

But seriously, they're discussing circulating antibodies and not considering memory cell production/response. Not completely unprotected.

Yeah. I am trying not to panic about it. My husband was exposed at work by a rabid anti-vaccine guy, so I am especially unhappy about all of it.

That Jamie Lee Curtis is Tony Curtis' daughter.

Wait till you learn who her mom was.
