Maiar is the plural

Freeze them! Frozen banana is even better than fresh in milkshake.

Sam also had the ring for a short time (longer than Déagol)

Gothmog was possibly not an orc 😜

Not sure this statement is true if “more closely related” is understood as shorter combined time between the two species from their most recent common ancestor. Hummingbirds and brachiosaurs had a more recent common ancestor than brachiosaurs and triceratopses (albeit probably still quite close to the dawn of dinosaurs in the Late Triassic ), but the latter pair lived closer in time to the common ancestor of all dinosaurs (while hummingbirds are from the Oligocene).

Yeah, Paikin is a great interviewer!

I saw it a couple of days ago and thought of posting it but that nobody at a Star Trek community would be too interested in a TVO interview, and nobody in the Ontario community would be overly interested in a Robert Picardo interview. Glad there’s an overlap!

While 50 is north enough and the absolute majority of Canadians live south of it, “Northern Canada” generally refers to the three territories (as opposed to the ten provinces), that start at 60 (mostly, there are some islands south of that).

As it should be… Navigators could determine latitudes pretty accurately by using astronomy. It was the longitude that was a big problem (maybe that’s part of the reason Japan is placed in the middle of the Pacific).

Some natural cushioning is needed to appreciate the comfort of the floor, I imagine. I’m too boney for that.

I’m pretty sure I’m in my fourth pair now.

That may be relativists (they would actually measure anything in units of mass, with everything else defined through G = c = 1). Astrophysicists commonly measure mass in solar masses, long distances in parsec (or kiloparsec, megaparsec), short distances in solar radii or AU, and time in whatever is relevant to their problem (could be seconds or gigayears)

Well, peanuts are legumes, so beans basically.

Rumania and Makedonia probability the closest to the country’s native name.

EM and gravitational waves are seen as analogous because as I wrote, they are produced by acceleration of charges and masses, respectively. The physics behind them is very different (described by Maxwell’s equations for EM and Einstein field equations for GW), but all systems that have waves in them (including sound in the air, waves on the surface of water etc.) can be approximated as linear for small perturbations, which means that they satisfy the wave equation at that regime.

It’s not me who didn’t use a tool, it was the other guy.

Only because we are used to it.
