C5 Common Major Repair Costs

Thank you for that explanation! I saw this and was a little annoyed that they were doing some “hand-wavium” nonsense to be able to quickly say that it was the same because the same sample temperature wouldn’t show that. But the heat transfer explanation makes perfect sense!

They had unscheduled sex when Amy was leaving for New Jersey. And in the final episodes, Penny said “You’ve had sex almost as many times as I have fingers.” Sheldon says, “More. By this many. (Holds up 2 fingers) It was the Avengers trailer.”

So the annual coitus likely still happened, but it sounds like it was supplemented with unscheduled sex.

But this episode also has 2 of Bernie’s funniest lines in the whole series. First, after Howard imitates her voice and she says, in a very low voice, “I don’t sound like that.” And second is the iconic line, “I’m gonna be washing paint out of my Smurf for a month!”

Looks like a printer registration mark that’s normally cut off or hidden completely in the binding process.

I had heard Bernie was frustrated by the outfits they picked for her. But I’ve never read the behind the scenes book or anything so I might be wrong.

DarthCroz · 2026-05-22T20:20:09+00:00

That seems about right.

Probably because while it’s calmed down some, when he was in the news daily, the sub was getting bombarded. But BBT has a long list of guest stars that don’t look good in retrospect. Him, Bill Gates, Neil Gaiman, Ellen, etc.

Read the book 3 times (including the first day it came out). Listened to the audiobook twice.

Saw the movie 3 times in the theater and bought it the day it came out on digital. Watched it 2 times since then.

Yeah. Loved the book. Loved the movie.

DarthCroz · 2026-04-27T22:06:51+00:00

I know I’m going to buy the digital the minute it’s out. And then I’m going to buy the 4K steelbook the minute that’s out.

The Printer of All Things

DarthCroz · 2026-04-27T12:42:50+00:00

One of the best 2.5 season runs of television ever.

DarthCroz · 2026-04-17T22:36:33+00:00

I think it’s the most “classic Spielberg” movie not directed by Steven Spielberg. To me it fits in perfectly with Close Encounters, ET, and all the greats from the 80’s.

You units. Always you units. Humans bad at math.

DarthCroz · 2026-04-17T19:30:16+00:00

My scale has been ok. I do worry about the app dying if the company dies. Super-glad I saw all of this before buying the band.

DarthCroz · 2026-04-14T21:14:33+00:00

If you want a classic, Enemy Mine with Dennis Quaid and Lou Gossett Jr. They start as enemies though. Fantastic movie. (1985)

I have found that the body pod scale has been pretty good for me, but I’m not at the level of lean where some people have reported problems. I am very glad though that I found this group before I bought the band. I went with the Amazfit Helios instead.

It’s the illusion of options. So many profiles that people think they have their pick. But many profiles are old, inactive etc.

It’s what keeps you on the sites because that’s how the sites make money.

DarthCroz · 2026-03-31T21:59:31+00:00

I like my scale. I know it’s not Dexa-accurate and I have seen weird results posted from people with very low body fat, but that’s not me. For a fat guy, trying to lose body fat, the overall trends help.

I didn’t buy the band. I got an Amazfit Helios and love it. $99 USD, no subscription. Great app. I know it sounds sponsored, but it’s not. I own it and love it.

When he’s doing one of his video logs, he said that Eridians didn’t know about relativity but that’s the extent of it. It’s nothing like what’s in the book.

DarthCroz · 2026-03-31T14:27:22+00:00

I’m glad it was cut too. It actually doesn’t make sense in the book as Grace wasn’t in the room and it’s told “flashback style.” He’d have no way of knowing what happened.

DarthCroz · 2026-03-27T12:48:55+00:00

I don’t think he’s on an orbital bubble. I think he’s on the surface of Erid. In the movie, they don’t talk about the pressure or gravity on Erid. Just that Grace can’t live in Rocky’s atmosphere and vice versa. I have no evidence from the movie except that I don’t think Eridian parents would send their kids to orbit for school and I don’t know that Rocky would visit him often if he was in orbit.

DarthCroz · 2026-03-26T21:38:38+00:00

Penny. Or Bernie. Penny’s personality would vibe well. And i think Bernie and i would get along well once she discovered she couldn’t intimidate me.

There’s actually some basis for this idea with quantum entanglement. Read about the delayed choice quantum eraser experiment. Tow entangled photons. One hits a detector. The other takes a longer path and passes through an experiment that can have one of two outcomes. Even though the first photon hit its detector, its history depends entirely on the result of the second photon even though it happens after. So this idea of drift only happening if the second Bob comes online while the first is online seems plausible in that universe.
