I posted this below, but I used to be able to whistle in a way to make a modem or fax handshake and connect. Couldn’t do any data, but I could make it connect.
My parlor trick back in the day was that when a call came in from a modem or fax, I could whistle in a way that it would connect. Couldn’t do anything past that, but it was fun.
Oh, right, I forgot about that aspect.
Waterbeds suck, honestly. They’re great for people who have a very consistent body temp and don’t have a partner. Get warm or cold in the middle of the night? Tough, it takes ages to change the temp of a huge mass of water. Partner with a different comfort zone? Too bad.
Yeah, it validated the theory.
That’s how it reads, but the intent was probably the reverse.
No, this study didn’t deal with dark matter, that’s not the missing matter they’re taking about. They’ve known that the ordinary matter in the galaxies only accounts for a small fraction of the matter in the universe, and there were theories about how much matter was in the space between galaxies. This study looked at radio waves being emitted by distant sources, and looked at how much those waves were defracted by pasted through matter, which corroborated that yes, there’s a lot of matter between galaxies.

Just saw The Life of Chuck - what a great movie - Lemmy.World
Adult kids took me to the movies for Father’s Day. They picked The Life of
Chuck, which I knew zero about. Most of the coming attractions trailers were
horror movies, so I was a little worried because I wasn’t wanting to get super
stressed. This movie is delightful and clever and has a lot of heart. If you’ve
seen it, did you agree? Since this is a movie that is much better to go into not
knowing much, please put discussion of any plot points under a spoiler tag
