I once knew a guy from the deep south who'd say stuff like yoostacud. I yoostacud run a marathon. I thought that was marvellous! Another one was fixina. I'm fixina get tickets to the game tonight. You in?

Sounds useful in Minecraft. Like you put a sign in a cave "exit widdershins" to tell people to follow the left wall.

For the most part, I choose the generic version for pharmaceuticals where available, but there are a few exceptions. For example, for something like a nasal spray, the generic version's dispensing mechanism may be inferior?

I saw Godzilla Minus One recently and wow, that hit close to home. My mother grew up in post-war Japan and had the whole survivor guilt thing. Nearly tossed herself off a bridge.

I find as I get older and my vision is not what it once was, I need bigger screens with good contrast but don't care so much about resolution. I think it was on the show Corner Gas where they were talking about how big a screen you should get and concluded the size in inches should match your age. That made me laugh but I have to confess now there may be some truth in that…

It's been a long time since I got my astronomy degree, but your version is what I recall also. Whatever small rotational perturbation in the initial gas becomes more pronounced as it coalesces in on itself and defines the plane of the star system. Planets form within this plane after it is defined, and they all travel in the same direction around the star.

Regarding galaxies, the most common spiral ones like our own Milky Way follow the same principle at a larger scale. But there are also elliptical galaxies, not to mention irregular ones. In an elliptical galaxy, there is a more random movement of stars in a cloud around its core. So they look more 3D I guess, to go back to what the OP was asking about. I seem to recall the most accepted explanation for how these form is from the aftermath of a collision between 2 spirals? So presumably, when our galaxy collides with Andromeda in several billion years time, the resulting combined galaxy may emerge as an elliptical?

Oh I didn't know that! I will have to check out the original.

Last time I was on a road trip, the 10-minute-long "Stuck In The Drive-Thru" came up on my stream and about halfway through, my daughter in the back seat goes "Who is this?!? It's epic!" I think she's been hooked on Weird Al ever since?

Can he put actual kombu (as in Japanese kelp) into kombucha?

Yeah, I rolled a d20 and can confirm. Wow, critical miss!

I'm wondering how far I can get learning to play the cajon from YouTube tutorials?

I'd say I kind of suck at this point, but I'm having a good time and it's early days still.

Probably, but he had to leave something for bored celibate monks to do. There are worse callings than to devote a lifetime to finding all manner of ways to fortify wines.
