72 years old Japanese Masatoshi Sasayama travelled to Rautjärvi, Finland just to visit Simo Häyhä museum. (Häyhä was a Finnish sniper in Winter War between Finland and Russia. He shot... well... several Russian solders.) Sasayama flew 8 000 km from Tokio to Helsinki. Then he walked to Rautjärvi about 300km. He wanted to honor Häyhä by walking. Museum was already closed from this summer, but they opened just for Masatoshi. Sorry, in Finnish. https://yle.fi/uutiset/3-10927852
Streaming on Netflix on an iPad when not at home eats up data. Not everything can be downloaded on Netflix.
In any given laser beam, at any exact period of time during the propagation of the beam, there is only one or at most two electrons passing through at that given time. In an electron microscope, the image on a fluorescent screen is generated by unattentuated (unblocked) electrons and reflected or diffracted electrons. The entire screen glows and presents an image by these means, at hundreds of thousands of times magnification. I find it fun to see billions of electrons hitting the screen with my eyes, but know that at any real given time, only two electrons at most are actually passing through to create that image.
And yet the scientific term in psychology for the tip of the tongue phenomenon is still "the tip of the tongue phenomenon."
Scientist have found out that Ozzy Osborne is a mutant. So... Screenwriters, here is a good setup to start with... https://nypost.com/2019/08/10/ozzy-osbourne-is-a-genetic-mutant-dna-research-proves/
@Lifeline... Did you forget to clean your boots or... Old dust in Antarctica. In fact very old. I was only kidding about Lifeline. In fact it came with Vogons. https://journals.aps.org/prl/abstract/10.1103/PhysRevLett.123.072701 https://edition.cnn.com/2019/08/20/world/supernova-dust-antarctica-scn-trnd/index.html
Indeed. My rent is going up by another 50 euro per month, so I am now trying to work out how I am going to be able to afford it. Looks like things will be very tight, and I shall be living on pasta.
Useless fact: My cousin doesn't like to be called "sir" by anyone. Anytime someone does call him sir, he corrects them. He says it's an "enlisted" thing. Dunno how universally true that is, so a useless fact it shall be.
I don't mind it too much outside of the military. But nobody calls a Sergeant in the Marine Corps Sir without getting an earful of language they don't particularly want to hear. I was never got mean about it, but others got damn near violent. Think of it this way. At least in the enlisted Marine Corps, it's a collection of men and women all believing themselves to be the "alpha" group of people, and all desperately competing with each other. The officer side, no matter the rank, always higher than the highest enlisted. So we always have to call them Sir. So a no-name boot can come in and lord over a group of enlisted and make them treat him with full respect. This happens frequently. Most enlisted hate most if not all officers. Rarely do those officers truly get that respect. And mind you, this respect is imposed by code of law outside the regular citizens laws. So you can lose your job and your home if you don't give this respect immediately. Sir has a very negative connotation with enlisted members. @Iain Aschendale may have some experience with this too.
Seems now in addition to the flat earther, there is now a growing population of space deniers. That is all, carry on.
Right now I do not know if I like the flavor of jalapeños or not but I did my best to get rid of the memory of my last real encounter with jalapeños (on a burger) except to for the little fact avoid Jalapeños. I have successfully removed the details of that night from memory. I got a prime jalapeño steak q at my favorite Philly steak place at my local mall. But I asked for no jalapeños but extra mushrooms. (It does not come with mushrooms but I like mushrooms. The cashier mentioned it was the jalapeños that made the sandwich but I said I wanted the fried onions. Useless facts sum up; I think it is possible to forget majority of an event other than just it happened. What makes a particular sandwich can vary among people. (Though the jalapeño cheesesteak is pretty much for the jalapeño but the prime has enough other ingredients to avoid the jalapeños.) Spoiler The mall I am at has a survey center which pays cash for my honest opinion. I got enough for the sandwich at regular price from the survey place, but I got a discount and free fries. I am also a big fan of this Philly cheesesteak place and I have a hat to prove it.
