And the amount of time dedicated to ox-bow lakes. Where are they all? You'd think every second meander would be an ox-bow lake by now, but I've never even seen one.

I think geography teachers made them up and hoped nobody would ever check.

They're already very cheap as long as you only want two wheels and aren't fussed about having a roof.

Our chemistry teacher made us memorise up to Argon with a song, that was literally just him singing the 1/2 letter names of all the elements. HHeLiBeBCNOFNe...

It was on a poster on the wall in every lesson. It was in the textbook. It was printed on the exam papers.

I've no idea why he tried to make us do that, and the annoying thing is I can still remember a good chunk of it 30 years later. I could have been using that chunk of my brain for something useful.

"I didn't vote for this" - someone who voted for this.

Or indeed that if they actually looked at everything produced in the past, they'd see roughly the same garbage to gems ratio we have now.

Especially considering the pedestal it lives on on Lemmy.

Fusion feels like one of those things that's been "a couple of decades away" since like the 1960s.

Even if it works, would it ever be cheaper or massively more useful than nationwide wind turbine networks, tidal power and fields full of solar panels?

Could be important if we want to leave the solar system at some point, and it would be nice to make it actually work, but I'm not seeing the big advantage over everything else.

There's such weird chemistry in Valerian, that they seem like brother and sister.

But that's on brand for Luc Besson, who wanted Leon to be even creepier than it is.

Or Hamill, since the guy is having a live action resurgence.

I don't think George has ever had an eye for good actors. He just got lucky with Harrison Ford who carried the shit out of the original trilogy.

Cookie Monster as Hannibal Lecter.

"Humans are a sometimes food..."

Snow White and the Huntsman could have been decent, but Kristen Stewart is terrible in it. She's not a bad actress (see Underwater) but she's not the right fit at all here.
