Actually, what I'm pretending like I'm trying to do now involves writing in English and trying to express other people's work in a short and interesting manner (some report for a committee regarding some research grant). Any of you would do it so much better than me.
On top of the change in timezones calculations, I also have to remind myself that this is not, in fact, a Sunday (another residue from yesterday's holiday), so you guys actually have to go to work and stuff.
The USanians still have a couple weeks to go before the clocks move back
We move the clocks back according to the Jewish calendar (the Sunday before Yom-Kippur), and it rarely synchronizes properly with the general ones, in termso f dates for such things.
On Studio 60, one thing is driving me crazy. Brad's character in named Danny and Timothy Busfield's character isn't. I find this confusing.
I have the same problem with Supernatural. The actor who was Dean on Gilmore Girls is not Dean on Supernatural - his brother is. Way to confusing!
My Studio 60 thing is that they are Danny and Matt, not Dan and Casey. Clearly Aaron Sorking needs a moratorium on Daniel and it's diminutives.
I also am often confused by the Dean/not Dean thing. But I've only just started watch Supernatural.

At least he wasn't a William. Or a Jack.
On HEROES,
the cheerleader pulling a DEATH BECOMES HER routine was over the top, but I laughed like a drain when it happened, so I don't mind. I do think Hiro picking up the gun was totally stupid. And while I noted Clea Duvall in the credits, I completely missed her role as the cop arresting not!Weiss.
Still liking it a lot. I'm curious to see how the pace goes next week - I almost wish they had just done a two-hour pilot instead of making two episodes from it; the heavy exposition wouldn't have bugged nearly as much.
Hey, physics type people. Can anyone explain how this works? [link] It's really puzzling me. (As is the horrible ad copy, but that's another story.) I can understand how you could set a compass to always point, say, northeast, or whatever, but how do you make one always point to a particular place other than one of the poles?
That thing's just not gonna work the way they say it will. By default, a compass needle will always align with the Earth's magnetic field's force lines (is that what they're called?) By making the needle point in some other direction, the needle will then always point at a certain angle to the Earth's magnetic force lines. So you're right - it won't always point to the same point on the Earth's surface, it'll just always point, say, East or North-East or whatever....
(My knowledge would sound more impressive if I knew the correct term, huh?)
I hate 10 am meetings. For some not-me, they are the equivalent of 8 am meetings. But I'm me. And I hate them, because I am always scrambling to prepare.
And I'm not cute.

Anyone know how much caffeine green tea has compared to black tea?
It generally has about 50% less, but caffeine levels vary greatly between different varieties of tea.
Anyone know how much caffeine green tea has compared to black tea?
Pound for pound Leaf for leaf, green tea will have more caffeine than black because it's less processed. Cup for cup is fuzzier because of different brewing methods, but Google might have some guidelines.
According to this page:
[link]
An average cup of green tea contains approximately 30 mg of caffeine. This compares to a cup of black tea, which has about 40 mg, and a cup of brewed coffee, which has 120 mg of caffeine.
But you know if all depend on how long something is steeped and the tea and the glayvin.
