Ortho, darlin', you didn't lose nothing.

Of course, I'm picturing you working that out wearing nothing but a lab coat. And the glasses.

:jig:

That was a little creepy-sounding wasn't it?

You have a thing for safety goggles, grav? ;)

@Pete ... I haven't yet run across a guy who wanted me to talk nerdy. Be still my heart!

I have lots of things.

Lots.

"nearest-neighbor hopping energy?"

This is a pseudo-swinger theory!

I'm all for the 'interesting additional features'.

I also have great nerdy glasses that are fun to take off.

Heat and electricity can move though Graphene easily because the carbons are very close to each other in the Graphene crystal. There is some other crystal reasons for it but they aren't expressed here.

One of the many, MANY reasons I love the Cellar.
Nerdy is hot.

As is literacy, knickers, teh boobies, recipes, bruises, new shoes (personal one there; only mildly interesting), word games, puns, and all that and everything.

We're a Renaissance crew here.
As in it's always about 1400-1700 and a good time to crack opn a beer.

Translation? You got it.

That crap on the right has nothing to do with what's on the left...

Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure Latin words, consectetur, from a Lorem Ipsum passage, and going through the cites of the word in classical literature, discovered the undoubtable source. Lorem Ipsum comes from sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" (The Extremes of Good and Evil) by Cicero, written in 45 BC. This book is a treatise on the theory of ethics, very popular during the Renaissance. The first line of Lorem Ipsum, "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet..", comes from a line in section 1.10.32.

The standard chunk of Lorem Ipsum used since the 1500s is reproduced below for those interested. Sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 from "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" by Cicero are also reproduced in their exact original form, accompanied by English versions from the 1914 translation by H. Rackham.

Damn.

I was sorta lookin' forward to that "filling out a bed" part...

If it's good enough for Arnold Schwarzenegger, it's good enough for the rest of us!

Latin was an ancient language and the Romans who used it had no idea that Japan or China or the Pacific ocean existed, so they wouldn't have words for those places. They knew about places like Gaul.

I think there is some argument about the depth of Roman knowledge of the Far East but the Romans loved their silk so they had names for where it originated. I think...

You're probably right. My knowlede in this area is rather limited.

There was confusion as well as confucion.

Quote:

Communication between Mediterranean lands and the Far East, which had been growing in importance since establishment of political contact in the conquests of Alexander and the consequent opening of the overland caravan routes, became exceedingly active between the first and third centuries of the Christian era through the discovery of the periodicity of the trade winds and the opening of active maritime traffic. There was, however, among writers in the Roman world considerable confusion because of their assumption that the land and sea routes had the same destination. This confusion, due partly to primitive misconceptions of geography, was greatly enhanced by the surprising misinterpretation of reports of various travelers upon which Ptolemy based his geographical calculations.

In tracing the caravan route it is impossible to go far astray because of limitations imposed by mountains, deserts, and water-courses. Richthofen (China, 1.10) and others have followed the whole route between the Pamirs and Sera metropolis, which may quite surely be identified with the ancient Chinese capital Singan‑fu. This was the great trade route of the silk merchants, and that trade was already of importance in the second century before the Christian era. The sea route was opened first to the west coast of India and Ceylon, where contact was made with another sea route leading further east known to the natives of India as the 'golden route,'1 and its eastern termini as the 'golden and silver islands' — whence silk was also obtained. Inland from these islands (or shores, either interpretation being possible), was a metropolis Sina Sinorum, known to the Roman world by hearsay only, and assumed to be identical with the earlier known Sera metropolis, so that both caravan and maritime routes were supposed to have reached the same trade centers.

Anyone wanna take a stab at these?

I've had bubble tea, and you really do have to suck its balls.

It's like a milkshake with gummy bears in it, and you have to suck them through the oversized straw.

The balls are Tapioca added to the drink.

Bubble tea is fantastic. I miss it.

Maybe "grilled sexual harassment" was supposed to be grilled cat(calls)...

There was a thing in the Guardian a few months back about the rise of bubble tea. Huge in the cities. Doesn't appeal tome, I must admit - the idea of giant tapioca balls - nah.

That's because you guys are so persnickety about tea. :p:

The problem I have with bubble tea isn't that the bubbles are bad; it's that they aren't good. The tea is good, but you get much less of it because of all of the flavorless gummy balls taking up space in the cup.

flavorless gummy balls

Eww. That, right there. Just flavorless gummy. Yuck.
