Welcome! 03/05/2016
Welcome, everyone, to the new 910CMX Community Forums. I'm still working on getting them running, so things may change. If you're a 910 Comic creator and need your forum recreated, let me know and I'll get on it right away. I'll do my best to make this new place as fun as the last one!

Of course they were—how else to get the nickname “Cinderella”?
-
Also it appears that they are in a “modern” enough setting that the coach would be a motor vehicle.

Most warranties do not cover acts of warfare.

Let’s see, we have the central ten, and now Jay, Lucy, Catalina, and Rhoda. Who else can we add?
-
Exactly. If you want practicality rather than showing off, the F-150 Lightning is the better choice.
-
Those are all good reasons to get an electric truck, but the Cybertruck is known to have serious reliability issues. I would recommend going with the Ford F-150 Lightning instead.

My father grew up in Buffalo, NY, and he would say that if you can open your front door at all, then it’s not bad. Then again, being snowed in happens nearly every winter there, and he told of having to exit through the third floor windows because the lower ones were blocked by the snow.

You need 120 out of 242 stars to reach the endgame.

There are 42 galaxies in SMG1, and total time to get 100% completion is about 40 hours, but a speedrun can be less than 12 hours.

Ok, I wasn’t intending to get into any of the game lore or gameplay, just telling you the minimum to contextualize why the reference mattered.
-
A clarinet that long would play about nine octaves lower than a regular clarinet.
-
Yeah, having a pet to care about helps many people to get motivated.
-
Oh, just a reference to the very small “galaxies” that make up the maps in the games “Super Mario Galaxy” 1 and 2, which consist of mere hundreds of stars and worldlets apiece instead of trillions, and which are separated by a couple of miles or less instead of multiple light years.
-
Now I am imagining a Super Mario type galaxy.

Ouch. Sounds like you could use some sunglasses.

The other drawback was the shorter play time of Betamax cassettes—they had only 1/2 to 2/3 of the length of VHS, which means that at high-quality speed any movie longer than 120 minutes would overrun the tape length, while VHS allowed 180 minutes at its highest-quality speed (or eight hours at low-quality speed).
-
A Betamax-only store would definitely be niche, although for most of the 1980s you would see both VHS and Betamax tapes available.

Don’t worry. Rain will soon be a thing of the past thanks to climate change.
-
Yah, a highly active person like a lumberjack, an athlete, or a soldier on the battlefield will burn a lot more.

1 hour ago, Don Edwards said:Are you stating that as a chemist, or a dietician? Usually one can tell from context, but in this specific case the context is somewhat mixed.
(It matters because 1 calorie as used by dieticians = 1000 calories as used by chemists. One of the more annoying cases of recycled terminology.)
Dietician’s calories, of which an adult human typically consumes between 1500 and 4000 per day. A Dietician’s calorie is about 4.2 kilojoules, and is sufficient to heat one kilogram of water by one degree Celsius.

Sadly, there is no way to avoid interacting with the boot—you are either wearing it, or being stomped by it. At best you can be a boot-wearer who mostly refrains from using it to stomp.
-
Consider that absorbed ionizing radiation is measured in Sieverts, where one Sievert equals one Joule of gamma rays absorbed per kilogram of body tissue. Less than ten Sieverts is enough to kill a human. For comparison, the thermal energy in one calorie per kilogram of body tissue (i.e. the amount of energy needed to warm your body by one degree Celsius) is over four thousand Joules per kilogram. Yes, you can die from an amount of radiation that would heat your body by about a thousandth of one degree.

It’s interesting that we associate red with hot and blue with cold, given that something that is radiating blue light is hotter than something that is radiating red light. Then again, we don’t tend to encounter blue-hot things very often (outside of certain gas/oxygen flames, such as a torch or a gas stove), while we do see red-hot things much more. Most of the blue that we see in nature is water or ice, (or a person suffering hypoxia or hypothermia) which is probably why we think of it as cold.

Unfortunately our society seems to be stuck in the dichotomy of “you either give orders or you take them”. Everybody is either a Boss or a Minion, with no way to escape Minionhood except by becoming a Boss.

Yes, and Arthur is very quick to cite “America” and “liberty” as justifications, which Jay is calling out as insincere.
