Yeah, dividing a circle into 360 parts, then subdividing those by 60, and further subdividing those by 60 makes so much more sense than just using ratio of a number fundamental to circles themselves.

Because it's a unit circle.

EVERYONE that claims to appreciate only fine art is already pretending to be sophisticated.

Do you not understand that it is the people that make any city shit hole? Like, it can't be blamed on the buildings, the landscape, or the economy. A city isn't a place, it's the people. When someone says a city is a shit hole, they ARE insulting the people.

Talking to you is like talking to a chat bot and I don't like it.

I just cook them in butter, which contains a bunch of water, and skip the oil. Although, I'm sure a little braising or sweating and oil would work better for some dishes.

Is that premise even true? This feels like begging the question.

Just watched this episode again. Riker is absolutely awful at cooking scrambled eggs. Even if he had used perfect free range organic Earth chicken eggs, those looked dry, burnt, and chewy.

It works on the same basis as those email scams. They only want the people dumb enough to fall for the scam so the email scammers litter the emails with spelling and grammatical errors to filter the people out that can't be easily manipulated. This employer is filtering out people that aren't desperate and people with any sense of employment ethics or self worth.

My insurance seemed to go down about as fast as inflation, so it feels like I've been paying about the same for decades. I didn't really realize how much lower my rates were until I talked to some ~~kids~~ young adults.

I don't think anyone actually misses them. The only people I've seen that are actually into them now are way to young to be nostalgic for them.

Cassettes seem to interest people pushing back against the trend of instant gratification singles. They like being forced to listen to an entire album. Sometimes it's just the object itself as merch. and has no relation to listening to the music. Many people buying records and tapes have no means to play either. It's also all ancient retro tech to them and a tape is just a portable record that won't skip. Similar to the resurgence in popularity of film formats in photography. There is even an artist out there that released their new single on a wax cylinder format that is damn near impossible for anyone but the curator of an audio format museum to play properly. If you're nostalgic for the trappings of a time that you never experienced, is that nostalgia or some other thing?

I do this, but it needs to be balanced with a healthy dose of "don't overcompensate or you'll fuck up the uninjured side."
