- Comment on Why do Americans measure everything in cups? 6 months ago:
I brought up broccoli specifically because I recently wanted to know the nutrition facts of broccoli, and the initial google results were for 1 cup, and not 100g as is standard in I guess everywhere that uses metric. I have absolutely no idea how much broccoli that is, not only because I’m not used to it, but the dimensions of the cup and how finely chopped the broccoli is matter quite a lot in terms of how much actual broccoli we’re talking about. It’s just so ambiguous.

Perhaps that’s because it’s what you know best and are used to. Volumetric measurements of anything that doesn’t have a fixed density make no sense to me. What the hell is one cup of broccoli? Even a cup of flour can have wildly different ammounts of flour. My least favorite though is butter, how the hell am I supposed to measure out 3 tablespoons of butter? Melt it all on the stove and pour out what I need? I find it incredibly unintuitive.

This is cultural. Some cultures really do not care about nudity the way others do

I think the problem is less timing the messages, and more that the messages from earth will just get redshifted more and more as the ship accelerates, which will require an ever larger antenna to pick up. This also has the affect of bandwidth tending towards 0.

You cannot transmit information through entangled particles, so probably not.
- Comment on Why is cooking a food item method called different things by what the item is, or what is the criteria? 1 year ago:
Poached and hard boiled eggs vary by more than just their boiling time. These names are much less about chemical processes and more about differences in technique. See other comments in this thread.
