The mnemonic I was taught for phases of the moon is to draw an imaginary line from the south pole of the moon sticking out of the north pole. If the more-lit half makes it look like a b, the moon is being born (waxing). If it makes a d, the moon is dying (waning).

Maybe consider a private gym run by a guy who looks like that? In my own experience, commercial gyms have been anonymous and neither welcoming nor unwelcoming. In contrast, the folks at the private “barbell club” I go to nowadays are mostly welcoming and supportive, even though I’m not lifting very impressive weights.

If my...if one’s sheets are blue to begin with, will blueing work to get rid of yellow stains?

I dailied motorcycles for about eight years in the South. Maybe an article on the different state requirements for riding might be in order? I moved around a bit a few years ago, and the requirements for a motorcycle endorsement and the reciprocality rules are wildly different from state to state.

How does a crescent Venus prove that Venus orbits the Sun rather than the Earth?

Wait, does Chef Boyardee make pizzas?

Yeah, our ‘12 has just over 100,000 miles on it now and no issues whatsoever.  Pretty sure the running gear is just straight out of a Camry?

My wife drives a much-overshadowed xB2 which she loves, and as my FiST rough-idled to a standstill at the gas station this morning, I began to rethink everything I thought I knew about cars.

I’d always assumed chitin was a protein.  You just blew my freaking mind.

This is a good first step, but it’s a shame that they’re still forcing her to completely cover herself up except for her eyes.

“it’s fascinating to think about how cosmic movements might affect Earth’s climate in a tangible way.”

But we already know this—cyclic wobbles in the Earth’s orbit are what have driven the glacial-interglacial cycle for the last 800,000 years (Milankovitch cycles).

I don’t know much about racing, but what about a whole series just for SUVs? People love semi-truck racing and pickup racing and hatchback racing and those Volvo wagons racing are immortal. They could lower them for the track. It’d be like the whole four-door coupe thing.

I was 29 and had been riding motorcycles for years. The lady just made me do a loop around the parking lot and passed me.

Weekends with my dad. When he wasn’t watching cricket, he was watching these:

I’m not an aerospace engineer, but I did take a high school physics class sometime in the late twentieth century. I imagine that there is some theoretically perfect wing for purely generating lift that’s infinitely long and infinitely thin or something like that, but even that “perfect” wing would fail at the Karman

Perfectly at home there on the bank of the Thames.

Don’t think so. Diablo, Countach, LM002, just off the top of my head.

This is the only reason I won’t buy a BMW car.
