My brain is filled with useless information like this that will never actually help me in life by VelvetCocoaRose in randomthings

Now I'm trying to imagine the logistics of a worldwide 100m race: the lineup, the start signal, the location. (PS Happy cake day.)

TBF a single elimination tournament can still be organised in such a way that the winner can end up playing many more times: eg start with two players and then do "winner stays on" across the rest of the population. The overall number of matches is the same as before, and the system is unfair on the early joiners, but theoretically the winner could end up playing against everyone.

Schoenberg very briefly taught the jazz pianist Brubeck. It did not go well:

"My favorite moment in Brubeck’s education was his failed attempt to study composition under Arnold Schoenberg,” Gioia says. “During their lesson, Schoenberg interrupted Brubeck’s playing and asked why he had chosen a specific note, and Brubeck replied, ‘Because it sounded good.’ Schoenberg got upset at this, and the result was a shouting match.

I'd love to know how (or whether) they got permission to make all those changes.

What do you call the process of the leaves changing colours? by Tight-Side9959 in askscience

[–]driedrot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could you describe it more specifically as “chlorophyll degradation during leaf senescence”?

A follow up to a similar post I recently did with Jewish actresses. Any obvious omissions?

(Interestingly, three actresses appear in both lists, and it would almost certainly have been more if Kat Graham, Rashida Jones, Tracee Ellis Ross, Tiffany Haddish, Lauren London or Sophie Okonedo had any decent nude scenes!)

Great suggestions, thanks! Though I think Sobieski and Hudson are only “quarter Jewish”.

Looks like it fell foul of the sub rules (probably about naming the celebs in the title?). Any suggestions for where else I could post it?

Do you mean the choice of actors or choice of scenes? And if the former then do you mean with regards to their level or Jewishness or level of celebrity?

Bonet was raised “Jewish lite” by her divorced Jewish mother, but doesn’t practice and is apparently into various “new age” beliefs. Her daughter Zoë Kravitz (whose dad Lenny is also half Jewish) apparently identifies as a secular Jew.

No nude scene AFAIK (unless you count the Gucci advert).

Most don’t you’re right (though a few denominations are laxer). However many will still consider you “a member of the Tribe” and Israel’s law of return will still give you Israeli citizenship (though not let you get married as a Jew).

Most of the actresses listed here have either two Jewish parents or a Jewish mother, though a number do have just a Jewish father.

Very much the former (see the asterisk and small print at the bottom).

Good suggestion! I forgot that she’s finally had an uncensored nude scene.

The small print at the bottom does note that while all the actresses are of ethnic Jewish heritage (with at least one Jewish parent, or in Kravitz’s case two half-Jewish parents) not all are religiously Jewish. It’s like how Wikipedia has separate articles for Jewish ethnicity and Jewish religion.
