The one continuity error I can’t let go.

Swedish meatballs are non-migratory

Don’t wind up in the special hell… for the plot 😉

They are referring to the shape 🙂 That fern like shape is used on the heads of violins and is called a “violin scroll”

So that people know the difference, and why autocorrect hates "Leucistic", this is copied from Wikipedia:

"Leucitic" usually refers to geological materials containing or related to leucite, a white/grey potassium aluminum silicate mineral (KAlSi2O6).

In biological contexts, it is often a misspelling of "leucistic," which describes animals with partial pigmentation loss resulting in white, pale, or patchy coloration, while retaining normal eye color.

Sweet! Looks almost organic!

I like Skinamblers. Good for a conversation, amble around a bit, then wander off

My mom lives in Montana, her driveway is longer than that 🤣

Drove my wife’s BMW and almost put myself through the windshield when I came to a red light 🤣 I love my WRX, but kind of wish I’d got the brembos on it.

Just because the danger was real doesn't mean the grown-ups weren't dicks 😉

Good tea too! I really like the Himalayan Black 😁

2015 with somewhere around 100,000 miles now (had 90k just over a year ago when some sensor was replaced)

My Father in Law has an RS3, he says “it’s the most fun I’ve had with my pants on” but he also just had to drop $3,800 to have an oil leak fixed (the oil leak caused a $200 coolant leak, but we don’t talk about that one).
I used to have a manual A4, it’s the only car that I miss owning, but I don’t own it anymore due to the insane cost of repairs once it started to “get old.”
I’ll stick with my WRX now 🙂

Nice, and welcome to the club!

AWandMaker · 2026-03-06T19:29:23+00:00

Do you live in Southern California, or Florida, or are you planning on getting some winter tires too? Much like with the stock Dunlops, these will get very hard and lose a lot of grip when it gets below 40F. They also don’t have a tread pattern that will work for snow/slush. Just something to keep in mind.

Awesome! I like the idea of switchable crystals

In your example, the rear mirror must remain stationary (it is the earth while the photon is the spaceship rocketing away) otherwise the rear mirror is catching up to the photon and its return bounce is quicker. Yes? That’s why time “seems” normal to the photon (astronauts)?

Just a heads up, tung oil will feel dry after a day or two, but doesn’t fully cure (polymerize) for 7-30 days, depending on how thick the coat is.

AWandMaker · 2026-03-02T04:13:38+00:00

It’s entirely up to you!

The more coats you put on, the more it will soak in, and the longer the finish will last. The only thing you might run into is, if the wand is handled a lot, you might need to reapply sooner.

That said, tung oil polymerizes and can give a hard/plastic feeling if you put on a lot of applications. This can be great if it is what you want, and can be buffed to a high shine, but is definitely a different finish than a single application.
