There’s no plastic in an aluminum can. Both glass and aluminum are almost totally recycled into their base materials. Aluminum is lighter to transport to and from the recycling facility.

I think that’s the gimmick - it’s like a spot the difference once you’ve done the puzzle and are still in Minnesota with nothing else to do.

That is a good question, but I suspect if you tried this in real life it would still show static.

• The waves are amplified with a circuit that attempts to find a signal even if it’s very weak (so you can get a picture even if you’re close or very far from the tv station)
• At a certain point, the electromagnetic field from the running TV itself would start to get picked up

I suspect a better thought experiment would be if you just disconnected the input and amplification circuit entirely from the CRT tube, in which case you would probably just get white as the electron beam scans back and forth without any modulation.

Bring back personal homepages and webrings!

It’s based on the same technology that makes you turn faster in Mario Kart if you tilt your head and turn the controller like a steering wheel.

Starfleet is not the military as they are so often having to remind everyone

I think the canon reason given for this and other “why didn’t the ship’s computer just stop them?” situations that it’s a privacy violation to just go around scanning people without their permission.

Although they do seem to do a lot of “scanning for life-signs” so who knows?

If you could split yourself into a copy of yourself… And why is it one?

Cruel AND unusual??

I remember reading those Dev journals too, but I feel like they helped me to get more out of B&W than most other people.

Yes, it was all about building hype, but it meant that I played more in a “find-your-own-fun-and-set-your-own-goals” way, which I think was what the original intent was.

Everyone’s biggest complaint was that the missions were half-baked and felt like they were thrown in right at the end. And they were right.

Keep the batteries at or below 20%

Those are rookie numbers. Come back when your social media platform has lost 20 Billion.

On Amazon Prime I can see season 3 but it won’t let me watch it - anyone know what’s going on?

I’m not an expert on the subject, but at least one of the calenders you’re thinking of is a Lunar calendar.

So not 365.242374 days but a variety of other synchronisation problems.

Quand je mange du poulet, je l’appelle poulet. Aile de poulet; pilons de poulet etc.

Quand je mange de l’agneau, je l’appelle agneau. Jarret d’agneau; côtelettes d’agneau.

Alors pourquoi est-ce que je ne mange pas de cochon ou de vache ? Je mange du porc ou du boeuf.

Quelle est la raison de ceci?

Correct. A square glass is actually a cube.

Resin 3d printing accessories I wish I’d bought earlier:

• Screen Protectors (you don’t know how much this matters until your vat leaks)
• Flex Plate (much better than having to scrape off large prints)
• UV LED torch (to help repair parts that snap when you take them off)
