Some interesting newspaper articles about the story here - https://flashbackdallas.com/2015/02/20/carhops-as-sex-symbols-1940/

Thread split off. Old thread:

New thread -

But Goldberg didn't say the Holocaust didn't happen, so I'm not sure what you're talking about. Other than that, Zoraptor gave a better illustration of what I was talking about vis a vis my understanding of Goldberg's statements.

Percussion instruments generally get a "Neutral Clef" which looks like || to indicate that its not indicating notes or tones but rhythm (the exceptions being percussion instruments like the timpani or the xylophone). Maybe some ideas to practice on here to bring up your cymbals game for next time...?

Alto Clef / C Clef gets no respect. Well that and its mostly used just by the viola and mandola these days, so Treble / G-Clef and Bass/F-Clef get all the press.

𝄞 ≠ 𝄢 ≠ 𝄡 Does that help?

We are, you don't understand my point. I reiterate that the point she made is not the first time I have heard that point before from other people, and I don't think it has to do with selective history as much as it is a very different interpretation of European history particularly in viewing things that some (particularly Nazi's) might see as "racial" as being "ethnic" instead. This isn't to argue the view is correct, just that I think it has to do less with ignoring parts of history than having a completely different view on certain foundational concepts. Note this isn't unique to this situation; I can't tell you the number of times that vastly different groups in other regions of the world are lumped together with no concern for the actual nuances of their history, culture and political divisions for the groups involved.

Hmmm, wonder how long this lasts after the 1st Muslim student brings a case up regarding some teacher talking about Christmas or Mardi Gras or something in school...? I'd imagine pretty much everyone's view of history is selective. We can't remember everything, so we remember the bits that resonate with us. Note, I do not think that Whoopi's statements are due to selective history as I've heard other African-Americans express a similar opinion - that a lot of the bigotry (and resultant actions) in Europe (whether an extreme like Nazis vs Jews and Roma, or just various governments treatment of Irish, Polish, Italian, Basque or other emigres) isn't fundamentally the same as what befell Africans.

So Washington...Commanders. So they're using the ol' WC, eh? ... ... I guess I can't talk, the Falcons are af.

Think we're at .549/therm or .599/therm fixed rate for 36 mos.

Well people who make a lot more helpings of food than me in the imperial system, obviously.

The local stations seemed to be going crazy over the Brady retirement rumors over the weekend. It was like a major sports superstar had never retired before.

We got taught both, but Imperial was what was used. I'd have no real issue switching over to metric - conversions are a lot easier. Had to figure out cups to quarts over the weekend while I was cooking (who puts a recipe in ****ing quarts?) Edit: metric would have been clearer since it's base 10 rather than dealing with 4 to change quarts to cups. So that's a vote for metric.

Surely, if nothing else, the internet was invented so you could get all sorts of free-to-use measurement converters at your fingertips.

Kimchi coleslaw? Can't say I ever had it, but my brother's a big kimchi fan. I'll have to ask if he has next time we talk (assuming I remember this)

TNG: "Parallels" This episode should have been called "Too Many Enterprises", amirite? Worf is a fun character to hang this story on because his personality is so ill equipped to deal with people moving his cheese in normal circumstances theat when he's thrown into these events he's particularly adrift from anything he knows and ill-equipped to handle it. That said, isn't this the third or fourth time this season we've gotten "strange stuff happens and only one person notices"? (LaForge in "Interface", Data in "Phantasms", arguably Luxwanna in "Dark Page"). I guess practice makes perfect because I probably enjoyed this one more than the others. And good on the production team dropping in small differences (like Data's eyes) amid the big ones that made the episode fun to watch just to see what they changed. No Discovery eps this week either.

*has flashbacks to USENET and the "Who would win, Goku from DBZ or Silver-Age Superman" fights* (besides, the obvious winner between Star Wars and Star Trek ships is obviously some third universe where they can create an electrical panel that doesn't explode when there is a power surge and can develop a ship without needing a vent that allows a straight shot to a ship's reactor).

I thought that was The Forgotten Realms...

I haven't seen it so can't say, but I've heard nothing but good things about it. Right now the funniest current comedy I'm watching is the US version of Ghosts, which I find hilarious.

Since "Where No Man Has Gone Before" was the second pilot, they tried to address NBC executive's complaints about The Cage with the new pilot. One of the complaints was that Vina as the Orion Slave Woman was 'too raunchy'. Thus Dr. Dehner and Yeoman Smith in the second pilot wear pants and loose fitting uniform tops and the mini-skirt outfits weren't used. Side note, that Discovery image without context just looks hilarious. Burnham's expression is a great evocation of "what the **** is happening?" ObTopic - they should do a Star Trek: Original Series - Space Battleship Yamato crossover.

"Where No Man Has Gone Before" was the 2nd pilot after "The Cage" with Kirk's old pal Gary Mitchell and Dr Elizabeth Dehner having their latent psychic power boosted by an energy surge at the galactic barrier. It ended up airing 3rd, right after Charlie X as the second episode (but Charlie X was the 8th filmed). Charlie was the sole survivor of ship crash as a kid, and the aliens did alter him so he could survive on their planet. They didn't realize he was going to get a sudden growth in power, and end up taking him back iirc.

Sorry, I just split off the last page without concern. It was coincidental who was on top (oo-er).
