  It’s fine! My math says the rose is actually moving away from you, at around a third of the speed of light.

  At this speed, it orbits the earth (at sea level) 2.5 times in a second. Maybe it shoots for the moon, which it reaches in less than 4 seconds. Or it might be on its way to Neptune, which will take it 12 hours!

  Also, if this red rose was actually moving towards you at the same speed, I guess it would look black, since you would receive a wavelength you can’t see? Ignoring the pesky thermonuclear reaction stuff…

  The two microwave ovens I owned are counterexamples to both these comments. The older on would precisely go 15s on and 15s off (when on 50% power) while the newer uses an inverter to actually reduce the microwaving power, and stays on 100% of the time.

  My main gripe with the expansion is that trains scale way worse than everything else and become close to useless if you go to legendary quality. And I say this playing train world…

  That is well said and something I often struggle to express without sounding super creepy. If someone is attracted to kids, but would never touch one because they know it would be profoundly wrong, I believe they should be congratulated and directed to therapy. Prison, a public lynching or self loathing and isolation are not going to help.

  Which doesn’t have much in common with pedo island, obviously.

  My interpretation was that pink lady shouted out some crap formula FBI guy does not understand anyway so they would be left alone again.

  Last panel half contradicts it, half just leans harder into the absurdity of it all. I wouldn’t expect physicists to care much about Rubik’s Cubes, I think even the cliché fits mathematicians much better.

  Basically, my spontaneous takeaway was “government and media are so science-illiterate that nobody understands anyone anymore”.

  Am I an idiot for trying to match the "DODOdo"s with Darude - Sandstorm?

  They don’t match. Don’t try.

  I might be biased by the question but I spontaneously thought of “pistolet à clous” as the most common term (which indeed translates to nail gun)

  I honestly would never have guessed!
