This is a common misconception but they are not the same. Among other differences, their basic ingredients differ. Crumpets are made with milk and baking soda, while English muffins are made with dough and yeast or sourdough.

What, laser-sword welding space wizards weren’t crazy enough for you?

In Star Wars, a Galactic Standard Year corresponded to the time it took Coruscant to orbit it’s star once, 368 standard days.

There were 3 generations of starships named Enterprise between TOS and TNG. Surely that’s the most relevant measure of a generation for Star Trek.

Yeah, I can’t work up much existential dread at this prospect. Given the immensity of the universe, the odds of this happening anywhere that it will affect the human race anytime soon are pretty damn slim.

The Mercury Eight was a runner in its day.

Yeah, that’s a new one on me too. Where I’m from, “Merc” is usually gearhead speak for a Mercury not a Mercedes. Then again, I’m old and out of it, so what do I know.

John Carter: 1970 Death Dealer: 1973

And neither is from the 1980s.

That’s just not so. J.M. Barrie’s book popularized Wendy as a girls name, but it predates the book by centuries.

Good points all. Blizzard never has prioritized communication.

Too late. Someone at Blizzard should have remembered that “You never get a second chance to make amfirst impression.” No amount of FOMO will bring me back to this tedious grind disguised as an event.

Of the 16 images, five don’t count. The one with the Gorn is an obvious joke, but for four other, Kirk wasn’t acting of his own free will. He was being physically controlled by God like aliens, mind controlled or straight up sexually assaulted.

This is what one of Edmond Dantes alter egos did in the Count of Monte Cristo. “Lord Wilmore” was an eccentric Englishman who understood French perfectly well, but refused to speak it:

… Lord Wilmore appeared….His first remark on entering was, “You know, sir, I do not speak French?”

“I know you do not like to converse in our language,” replied the envoy.

“But you may use it,” replied Lord Wilmore; “I understand it.”

NA beer is not basically “beer flavored soda.” The only thing the two have in common is carbonation and even that is produced differently in each. Soda is flavored syrup mixed with water that has been carbonated by forcing CO2 through it. NA beer is brewed the same as regular beer, and carbonation occurs during this process. For some NA beers, fermentation is arrested before significant amounts of alcohol form, while others are subjected to a vacuum to lower the boiling point so that the alcohol can be boiled out with a minimum effect of the flavor.

Re: transparency about bankrolling, i believe you since you say so. I’ve seen many of his videos and never heard him say so. I guess I just missed the ones where he did, or perhaps he said so on social media.

As for rigor, I can’t count the number of times he uses an unspecified amount of a chemical in a reaction, referring only to “throwing a bunch in.” But again, perhaps I’ve just watched the wrong videos.

His approach seems to me to be very “by guess and by gosh.” Part of that stems from trying to follow poorly written instructions in an academic paper; applied sciences grapples with that too. And some of it may be less slapdash that it appears, with Nilered using a deliberately casual tone in his scripts so that they’re more relatable, knowing that people aren’t likely to use his videos to attempt to reproduce his results. Even taking that into account though, given the number of attempts it often takes him to get the desired result, I doubt his rigor. Props to him for showing the failures and partial successes, though. And whatever else I say about him, I do generally find him entertaining.

My problem with him is that he lacks rigor and his methodology is poor.

Also, from the amount of money he throws around buying equipment, I suspect he has wealthy parents bankrolling him.

Applied Science is a far more interesting youtube channel.

At least read the article. Literally the second sentence reads:

“The agency said that it is taking “urgent” steps to increase compliance such as auditing more high-income taxpayers as well as businesses and partnerships. “

It goes on later:

“ The IRS has said it won’t increase audits on households earning less than $400,000 annually.”
