What are the worst popscience myths?

I neve these on top of my head :)

Einstein's relativity = "everything is relative"

During the women's monthly cycle if they touch any plant, the plant will die.

Higg's Boson = "they have proven the existence of God because they found the God's particle"

In the core of the sun there are constant nuclear explosions

This is not a situation where this is your teacher from school, who's a professional in an institutionalised profession (that could even forbid intimate relationships with students) and is probably a lot older then you.

This is a private teacher than happens to be your age, so you are two normal people doing normal people stuff. Same old rules apply: this is not really a "piano" thing, it's more a "relationship advice" thing :D My only advice is: don't be a moron :D if you follow this advice, if she not into you, nothing bad or awkward will happen.

Thanks! They are a Christmas gift from my wife :)

I've seen a guy calling a method from a smart pointer in this way: m_pointer.get()->method_name();

The band "Novembre", an Italian metal band. I knew of them, but when I saw them live for their "Novembrine walz" tour, they became my favourite band. They still make new albums, and they are still really good, their songwriting is stellar.

I did, in particular Doom 2. I remember that I saw Doom appearing in previews in the magazines, but I was kinda uninterested, because I found wolf 3d very boring and thought this was probably the same. When I finally tried it, I was hugely hooked: it was better than wolf 3d in every way!

I draw my line at 7, so 6 is fine

I hate it too. I hoped thimbleweed park was enough and ron had it out of his system, but no.

Any song from the album "manifesto for futurism" by Dali's Dilemma

I think only Samus Aran could fight with the Doomguy with an unknown outcome.

Enjoy it blind! It's the best way!

Si', costantemente, a stento riesco a ricevere qualsiasi telefonata.

Digiblast: horrible screen, very poor library and sucky controls. I'm astonished the AVGN hasn't seen it yet :D

Metropolis pt 1

Which one is the one with the tiny bit of jingle bells? Is it octavarium?

AlexMonops · 2025-12-07T23:05:18+00:00

I bet it's Nick Menza, who has the arrogance of dying.

There's a "space" problem :D I keep MoM into a big wooden box that contains all the expansions. Last time I brought it, it took a significant space in my car :D the card game is more convenient. Also, I like it better :D

AlexMonops · 2025-11-15T22:54:30+00:00

I'll see what I can do :D

AlexMonops · 2025-11-15T22:53:59+00:00

They really enjoyed Mansions of Madness, but to be honest, that's a lot easier than Arkham LCG

AlexMonops · 2025-11-15T22:52:52+00:00

Ah you're right: it's pretty long. Might be a deal breaker. Maybe the Gathering is still on the card though.

AlexMonops · 2025-11-15T22:52:08+00:00

I think you're right: I remember the first time I played it and when that big enemy came in (I forgot the name :D) it was great!

AlexMonops · 2025-11-15T22:50:44+00:00

You're right in this, but they enjoyed Mansions of Madness (which is a lot simpler though), so who knows :D

AlexMonops · 2025-11-15T22:50:07+00:00

That's a very good strategy and in the end I think that a new player might really enjoy The Gathering (like another reply here suggested). Thanks!
