    The Astronomy Thread

    Latest highlights from Avi Loeb After it emerged from behind the sun, Atlas shows an unusual multi-tail structure. Did it brighten and reduce its mass because it exploded?

    LOL yeah you can't smoke it inside. But thats a feature, not a bug. Taking a 10 minute break outside, unplugging, looking at the sky - that was always the best part of smoking cigarettes. I never understand when TV and movies show people smoking cigarettes inside, its like holy fuck your house...

    But they assured me that was impossible and you'd never be allowed to do that! The only surprising thing is that more people arent joining us

    Avengers: Doomsday (2025)

    I mean, I would like to see Dr Doom with a full Avengers Endgame level budget I don't know if this is gonna be any good, but all I'm saying is its got potential. I want it to be good, and I'll watch in hopes it is. That stands in contrast to, for example, anything Captain Marvel or Wakanda.

    The non gravitational acceleration resulted when a fairly large probe was fired at high velocity, while behind the sun. The probe took advantage of a slingshot around Venus which was conveniently close at the time, and is currently hurtling toward earth, to arrive in early December while we're...

    Depression

    WTF, 2 beers? I dunno if we're allowed to debate DUI laws in the grownup section but 2 beers isnt even buzzed. Sorry man that blows.

    Companion (2025)

    Yeah I didnt hate it, but I'm just so tired of the "everyone is gay and everyone thinks thats awesome" schtick. I don't even have a long rant about it. Its just gross and played out.

    Depression

    Yes but for good reason. Story time! I spent most of my life with "bellyaches". Not like lactose intolerance, where a specific food causes discomfort. And not just like "I need to fart". I mean like a deep, knotted, twisted feeling in my guts that nothing would fix. It was more or less always...

    People who back into their parking spaces instead of pulling in forwards like a goddam normal human being. It doesnt inconvenience me. It doesnt impact me in the slightest. But still, fuck you. Why? Not "why fuck you", I'm explaining that. I mean "why do that?" Literally ever other driver in...

    Depression

    Absolutely true. But I'm not joking about that shitting thing. That is a higher priority than a new job or a new boyfriend or depression. I'd have even prioritized it over getting rid of the ex but thats already done now (and it sure sounds like for the best). I say this in a spirit of...

    What? That should be treated like a medical emergency and prioritized over pretty much everything else until it's fixed.

    Since legalization I've never had an edible that delivered any effect whatsoever. Meanwhile back in high school we could make a batch of brownies with 90s dirtweed and get absolutely destroyed, I mean honestly it was too strong. I'm pretty sure they're just selling straight up gummy bears...

    Weight Loss Thread

    The article is specifically talking about a change to BMI that includes gut size. Your pic doesnt show any gut, so I'm not sure why you're arguing with the article. Yes, people who are taller than usual are one of the cases where the typical BMI calculation falls short. That doesnt change the...

    Deathstalker (2025)

    No this is exactly my point. If a movie is promoted as softcore porn you wouldn't watch it with your parents or in laws or kids. Obviously. But what we're discussing is when a movie is promoted as adventure or action or whatever. And then you're sitting there watching it with your parents or...

    I just wanna chime in here and remind you about these things called "rivers", "oceans", and "ponds". Pools are a more retarded distraction in this discussion than dads or body fat.

    Deathstalker (2025)

    I've always found it kind of weird to want to have lots of nudity in movies you're gonna watch with friends and or family. Nudity in porn, obviously, that goes without saying. But you don't "watch porn" with your friends or your son or your dad.

    There are 6 elevators. You get on one. The door is closing. A couple rushes toward you, they need to get in your elevator instead of any one of the other 5. The door is closing again. A party of 3 rushes in, they need to get in your elevator instead of any one of the other 5. The door is...

    I've apparently completely edited that out of my memory. I actually liked the movie so I'm not gonna go google pics and refresh my memory. The edited version is better.

    There has never been a watchable, worthwhile movie that featured a black "love interest" with a white protagonist. I can think of no exceptions to this iron law.

    Gravy's Cooking Thread

    No, thats exactly what beginners need. They need to learn, not watch some milf giggle and act cute while she cooks food-magazine-style recipes. I checked that video. Alton does a lot right in that video. The meat is seasoned all the way through, and then thoroughly mixed to get the right...

    I'm with you, the crust is the weak part of pot pie. Thats why I started making them with biscuits instead. Just put the filling in a backing dish, spoon biscuit dough on top, bake til the biscuits are done. I've never looked back.

    This is so true. Other cooking shows are like "let me show off how I cook! Aren't I cute/charming/sophisticated/whatever!" Alton is like "Listen - I'm gonna teach you how to cook."

    One of the major problems we object to here in the US is that once someone is on SSRIs, the doctors basically never advise you to get off them. Oh if you ask them right out, yeah they'll agree its not a lifelong solution. But speaking from secondhand experience, they never actually suggest...
