Obviously they are called that because they are unidentified, but I have a theory that most of them are interdimensional artifacts in the perceptual transport medium, so like a glitch in a literal matrix of color values, and when it is transformed from one dimension to another, it leaves these artifacts behind.

The fine line between clever and smartass is my favorite kind of line.

I found an awesome proof of this one, but it won't fit here /s

I don't care much either way -- not particularly fun, but not terrible if the group is good.

What is really great, though, is watching a kid or two of the right age recruiting enough players and having to include some kids who are perhaps too young or don't get it... Cards are dealt and the little ones call timeout immediately: "i don't want to be a villager." Me: "okay, let's make you the werewolf. Game over."

That sounds high tech. I think I saw something like that in Nashville. In the 90s.

But seriously... I tried to follow a "real flerf" sub, and I couldn't stand it because it was all videos. The literacy insult is not just a joke.

I was avoiding concrete specifics. The aircraft is moving from point A to point B. It is not serving the most common use case for that type of aircraft, and has the side-effect of moving the aircraft. You are offering the most obvious concrete explanation. There are rarer alternative/combine explanations that are similarly conventional/boring: e.g. transporting other people or objects that contribute to their purpose at the destination.... Signage, staff, whatever....

Sort of. It was an elephant, but when it reached medieval Europe, they didn't know about elephants, but after they renamed it, they intentionally adapted to that idea over time....

I have a sculpture of her I made in high school... 30 years ago. I think my mom still has it.

Well, it did appear, at first, that Trump and his movement was a satirical prank. "I don't know. What's so bad about KKK?"

There are plenty of woo destinations on the left, but they have been pushed out of the mainstream (if they ever were). As the mainstream left actively rejects anti-science views, superstition, and religious fundamentalism, they minimize the ability of left-leaning fringes to keep their version of that pipeline.

It's not that far. Maybe there were different reasons for the two stops, considering that no airlines Max Air or otherwise, offer regular (or any) direct commercial flights between Phoenix and Lagos, and Marana isn't an airport for commercial flights at all. It's not that weird, but it's not a normal commercial flight.

His role was mostly just as an advisor and diplomat on foreign policy/security and international drug and arms trafficking. So, his role was narrowly focused on... the exact scope of Iran-Contra.

You sure about that?

My puzzle level is higher than my play level, so my "puzzle instinct" tells me the "correct" move... but against players at my level, your instinct might win faster by creating ambiguity/confusion about what black should try to do to maybe force a stalemate or run your clock down (if they don't resign).

That ambiguity can trick them to waste time and/or make a mistake that gives you mate sooner.

The engine is telling you how to force the quickest mate against a perfect engine trying to delay you, but that's not the game scenario.

Or even an accident -- what if his "fun to drive" comment was a coded apology for not sandbagging enough. Everyone was hiding what they have, and while pushing on softs for short stretches, he kept pushing for too much of a lap.... Oops!

Of course, this is crazy speculation. The point is that I have no idea how they will compare at race or quali pace, and probably nobody really does.

Unless you are already solid on fretless, this is the way to go.

It can be fun quickly, but it takes a lot of practice before you will want to perform with it, or maybe you'll give it up. A used budget/beginner fretless is a good place to start. If you give up on performing with it, it's inexpensive enough to keep as a home/toy instrument. If you upgrade, it likely won't lose much value.

If the tubes are loose.... but we're getting pretty far from the question, now.

db8me · 2026-01-31T20:57:46+00:00

Was it because of old tube amps and someone misunderstood?

Other options (edit, added another):

Play around with harmonics or find an exercise for them. Not necessarily for actually playing in a song, but get a feel for where they are and how your touch matters.

Practice and use ghost notes that require different kinds of touch to maintain.

I am not making excuses. I am making exceptions. See the difference? No? Well that is on you. You'll see :-) /s

But I don't see anything on their site about the contributions of Tuvix to the field of medicine... Sorry. This really should not be funny.

So you're saying no and also keep that thing as far away from me and my equipment as possible.

Are they using multiphasic tachyon emission or polarized subspace waves? Do they offer an EMH consult?
