How will you make sure it's perfectly filled to parts-per-billion accuracy (not too much water, not too little)?

And this.

He did get it right. 1 L = 1000 cubic cm = 1 kg = 0.001 cubic meters.

No one seems to have mentioned it, but there are a lot of things that can affect gravity and how much things weigh. The earth's gravity almost certainly changes over time, globally and locally... this would affect how much things weigh over time, maybe even over a timeframe of 100 years. I can only assume Le Grande K…

No. A mole of something is that something's mean molecular weight in grams. The molecular weight of water is about 18, so a mole of water is 0.018 kg. There is no atom heavy enough for which a mole of it will give us a kilogram. If you had a kilodalton protein, a mole of it would weigh 1000g.

If you just said "carbon atoms" your method would only be accurate to about 1 part per trillions due to C14, as the weight of C14 atoms on earth is constantly changing. Furthermore, on earth there's a particular ratio of carbon atoms which all weigh differently, so you'd need to specify the the ratios very precisely.…

Doctors used to administer IV (intravenous) alcohol to pregnant women to arrest pre-term labor contractions.

Rosie O'Donnell reported a similar incident a while back?

New commenting system stinks for these types of glorious, long-running, riffing responses :(

Seems like you could so build that wing stably without the new 2x2 angled plate. It's a nice new piece, and not at all "wonky" like some new pieces are... but still.

Fenster named this vessel, btw.

If comments would appear quicker and/or I were more confident in this site's and my nascent commenting abilities, there'd be no double post here, dear readers. Alas, neither, as we know, are true.

The moment I saw him fall, I knew he was Russian...

These LEGO pieces are not hard to find.

The Eagles never said "You can hiiiiiiiiiiiiide... your lyin' brain," Brent. It's eyes that lie.

Kind of off-topic, but I heard DirecTV is implementing a new channel guide. Rather than listing channels sequentially and simply scrolling up and down through them, the new guide will show the most-watched channels by an icon grid a few columns wide and you have to use the new DirecTV remote which has a thumbpad to…

I'm hoping for a system that's clearer,

Some of the microwave energy goes into the food and is converted into molecular kinetic energy (i.e. heat). The microwaves which pass into the food which are not absorbed by the food in this manner exit the food and dissipate, staying almost wholly inside the oven. There is no residual microwave radiation in anything…

Or cold spots ;)

Due to microwave ovens' heating principle being based on water molecule movement, it's for this reason that a microwave can't heat anything above 212F, or cook meat, or toast bread, etc.
