Not simply how many people support Ukraine, how many people choose Ukraine over America. Now it’s a pretty big number.

This show embiggens the heart.

Really feels like the underdog of the season.

For example, In The Motion Picture, there’s a ship named after Christopher Columbus. We know now what kind of person he was and that he doesn’t deserve to be honored. But in a universe where from the 1990s it was one war leading to another which lead to the big one that almost wiped out humanity, Columbus is still known as the pioneer who put the Americas on the map.

This is also the reason for a lot of other little historical blind spots that are part of Trek canon.

In the case of Elon Musk, I don’t think Trek’s 21st century would have allowed him to rise to power (or even become famous) in the first place.

When the security doors are down after hours, that door allows staff to go from one side to the other. You can see the guidelines in the edges of the wall.

The combination of building safety laws and how the floor plan was designed forced the door to be placed there instead of off to the side.

I’ve seen this anomaly a few times.

All that says is that no one can agree on when anything happened that far back.

So to avoid having to give someone a crash course on why the Gregorian calendar sucks, and to sidestep the argument on whether or not Jesus even existed, that’s the simplest way to interpret it.

Just for fun, let’s take that first model as sacrosanct. Jesus lived to be 33. So if his actual birthdate is five years prior to 1AD, a 1995-year-old person would still have been born 2 years after he died.

Permute 3 just undid all digital video conversion in the history of mankind.

 

(Remastered & reloaded by the original artist)

There are five parts in total to the story. Part 1 is the most popular. Here’s the entire saga, also remastered in HD.

 

I was listening to a podcast today and the hosts were arguing about the difference between a pill that is swallowed and a pill that is chewed, and that you don't chew pills you chew tablets.

This is where my brain went.

A brief explanation of the origins, popularity, and sudden revival of one of Japan's most iconic musical genres.

(This is the original mini-documentary uploaded to Van Paugam's YouTube channel several years ago. Due to persistent copyright takedowns, almost everything he uploaded to YouTube has been deleted and his account is now inactive. I was fortunate enough to save this video before they started disappearing from his channel, enjoy.)
