    Part of the high price of tomatoes and cucumbers might be that they are out of season. If they're still that expensive in July, you just live in an expensive area, and are frankly, getting gouged. The price you pay for living in Miami, I suppose.

    Seedless grapes are not GMOs. They are a product of select non-pollinating cultivation and have been around for over 600 years. Likewise for seedless bananas (I'd bet dollars to donuts that most people here have never seen a seeded banana in real life) and watermelons. Seedless fruits are no...

    DEATHS ; Notable Passings; The Thread to Pay Last Respects

    I've had more than one cop tell me that the most realistic cop show ever was Barney Miller. A good friend who is a homicide detective swore that it was true. The least realistic he said? CSI.

    What cigar (or pipe) did you smoke today?

    My own blend in a Savinelli Autograph

    That must be the one. And "Prime Directive" was first used in the first season of the original series. Many people thought it was a commentary on the United State's foreign policy of the 60s, specifically in Vietnam.

    In one of the Star Trek movies, I forget which, they travel back to "present day", where Scotty is asked to show the "primitive" engineers some advanced technology or another. When McCoy reminds him of the Prime Directive, Scotty responds "how do we know he isn't the one who invented it?"

    IIRC, the Doppler Shift is an effect of and a way of demonstrating inertial reference, and of course my comments were grossly simplistic. Physics is always more complicated than can be explained in a paragraph or two. But the concept is that you can't have two objects together, separate, and...

    We may be far off, but I agree we have to keep trying. Exploration is hard-wired into our DNA, and it needs to stay that way. We need knowledge for knowledge's sake. Why should we go to Mars? Because it's there.

    I don't think that means decisions aren't discretionary, only that they are permanent.

    What are you wearing today??

    Funny story today...so I'm in the elevator leaving the office today, and the car stopped on a lower floor. Two ladies, one middle aged, one fairly young, step on. I'm wearing an ordinary sport coat with a pocket square and have my hat in my hand. Because this is Texas and people love to chat...

    The Twin Paradox is resolved with general relativity and the idea of inertial reference frames. Both twins cannot be in the same inertial reference frame the entire time, and both cannot be in non-inertial reference frames. In other words, both cannot be simply floating out in undefined space...

    It's equally plausible that they were simply shot in the desert by Pancho Villa.

    Amway. Anyone here use a product called Dri-Fab and what happened to it

    I don't know about Dri-Fab in particular, but most water and stain repellents of that era used flurosurfactants, such as perfluorooctane sulfanate (PFOS). In addition to human health effects, including cancer, kidney disease, and chronic affects on the immune system, they are classified as a...

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    It's not particularly expensive in US dollars either. That's probably about what you'd pay for it in the US.

    Einstein's E=mc2 didn't crack the measurement of light speed, it only related it to mass/energy equivalency. Einstein also first proposed that the speed of light was constant to the observer, independent of the motion of the source. Scientists and philosophers argued for millennia on whether...

    Vigoda's resemblance to Karloff led him to be cast as Jonathan Brewster in a Broadway revival of Arsenic and Old Lace, a character who is referred to in the story as resembling Boris Karloff, and originally played by...Boris Karloff.

    I didn't say our government was stupid. I said I think the logistics of that kind of coverup, involving that many people, for that length of time exceed their demonstrated ability.

    You can cross Abe Vigoda off the list. He died today.
