One thing about sports talk is that I find it to be a very useful way of talking across geographic / political / social class boundaries and talking to strangers more generally. Like if you're in a bar and a game is on you can just say either "no way in hell was that pass interference" or "that was blatant pass interference, come on" and either way you are basically opening up a public conversation window.

Why Lev Parnas gave his company the somewhat questionable name of Fraud Guarantee: It was in part to clean up his Google search results, ensuring that the word “fraud” and his own name would be paired in a positive light.

Anyone remember like a decade ago when all the hormones in our water supply were supposed to be turning our frogs gay or something? Is that something to do with this? I'm so confused.

the script for The Incredibles is plot point for plot point and at every step philosophically a close approximation of The Fountainhead, if you don't see if you have blinders on i'm sorry that's simply how it is. nb i have neither seen the incredibles nor read the fountainhead.

I hate myself for this, but he could have read the script of the Incredibles and seen the film of the Fountainhead.

I don't know about "awesome", but this sure seems like a prime example of audiophile snake oil to me:

Keep Your New Vinyl LPs Looking and Sounding Brand-New for Decades to Come with Last Record Preservative: Prevents Wear, Ticks, and Pops for Hundreds of Plays by Enhancing Molecular Stability

Only $26 per ounce!

― soaring skrrrtpeggios (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Wednesday, November 20, 2019 1:41 PM (yesterday) bookmarkflaglink

I am a chemist, this is how I break it down to an extent

shouldn't say "molecular stability" as that refers to whether molecules break into smaller pieces or not. in general the stylus does not break molecules into smaller groups of atoms.

what a stylus does do is break molecules apart from each other. i.e. it wears down the groove by tearing off tiny pieces of vinyl. the proper term for molecules sticking to each other is cohesion, so when they say they're improving cohesiveness they're actually using the right term.

how do you keep the stylus from tearing off bits of vinyl? put a layer of something else on top of it to protect it. so my assumption is that the LAST record preservative is a thin lacquer that is applied over the grooves. so on the other hand, you're not really improving the cohesiveness of the molecules, you're just putting new molecules over the old molecules so the new molecules get worn off instead of the old one.

TLDR - it's just a thin lacquer that you apply over the surface of the record to protect the grooves.

definitely need a few gallons of this as the molecular cohesion of my records has really gone to shit over the last few years, can barely open the door of my record room, molecules all over the damn place

Oh, for gods sake! I used to know Jabberwocky by heart - but I was looking for a bible quote. It’s funny, now that I get it!

‘It’s funny now that I get it’ is going to be my epitaph.

I'd totally read a Jabberwocked version of the KJV.

I still don't get it.

'the mome raths outgrabe' becomes 'the gove raabs outgrieve'.

Now if you're suggesting that there is something to get beyond that playful emendation or that Lewis Carroll's 'Jabberwocky' possesses a camouflaged allegorical significance, to be adumbrated via cabalistic exegesis, all I can say is 'perhaps'.

I'll stick to Stanley Unwin tbh.

you know what else can be adumbrated via cabalistic exegesis?
