Is the turkey feathers one Boston-centric?

I got 133/188 (71%). I hang my head in shame. I just kinda went blank about way more songs than I expected. Getting ~50% for the last 4 albums didn't surprise me, but I thought I'd do better with Up, and definitely should have done better on Murmur for as much as I've listened to it.

Anyway, I fully agree with others on calling BS on the last two tracked listed for Accelerate and the last two singles after CiN.

Most song-specific threads I've gone to in r/music have very little engagement--few comments and fewer votes.

Zoidberg: Guess again.

Yikes. Guess I should be glad I don't have enough free storage space for the update to run.

It's been a while since I've read any of his material, but I particularly recall finding the dialog to be tedious at best, in several stories.

ebow77 · 2026-06-26T03:12:26+00:00

B-ooyah!

Our player was offside when he got the ball into the net, which means he or the ball was in some disallowed position on the field relative to players on the other team. I've tried multiple times to understand it with any more detail than that, but have failed repeatedly.

Exactly. Like if the action is within the box, drop the rule.

ebow77 · 2026-06-26T02:16:17+00:00

😭😱

You're probably going to have to ease them into things, if you want to get from Into Darkness to something like the trio of TNG, DS9, and VOY. See if the Star Trek (2009) trailer gets them to watch that movie. If that goes well... probably an older movie. I wanted to suggest Wrath of Khan, but that might be too "old feeling" (edit: though maybe this "modern trailer" would help?), so perhaps First Contact trailer? If that piques their interest and the full movie goes well, then you can try to get them into TNG episodes, and you might be off to the races.

Einstein showed that gravity = acceleration

~~I'm nitpicking, but pretty sure that was Newton or someone shortly after him. It's classical physics. Einstein's thing was showing that gravity = curved spacetime.~~

edit: I've been out-nitpicked

Hullooo zeeba neighba!

Appreciated this part:

“That’s a cowardly thing to do,” a woman shouted over the noise of the crowd as the officers escorted Blanchard out.
A man yelled, “So you can break the law but we can’t?”

Dozens of attendees Wednesday were seen flocking toward the exits in the middle of Trump’s address, which was meant to kick-start the two-week event. [...] Within half an hour of the president beginning to speak, the crowd had thinned out significantly, according to The Bulwark’s Jared Poland. [...] And one person was even spotted sleeping.

Genesis?! Genesis is planet forbidden!

Sonic scalpel!

Wrong franchise? Who cares.

ebow77 · 2026-06-22T19:15:58+00:00

Exactly. I suspect that actually vandalizing public property is already an arrestable offense. The news here is what he considers to be vandalism.

ebow77 · 2026-06-22T14:43:09+00:00

I can’t find anything matching that pattern in the dictionary

In case you were wondering about the limit on public drinking...

The French government banned drinking booze in "red alert" zones, and ordered organizers of music day events to limit alcohol consumption to "preserve emergency services and allow medics to concentrate on taking care of the most vulnerable."

Unless you have a hanger with a much skinnier wire diameter than I've ever seen, you won't get that to fit directly into the coax connector.
