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.
Lorne: Take care of yourself and ah, make sure fluffy is getting enough love. Gunn: Did he have anything? Fred: No. And who's fluffy? Are you fluffy? Gunn: He called me fluffy? Fred: He said make sure…wait. You don't think he was referring to anything of mine that's fluffy, do you? Because that would just be inappropriate.

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.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
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?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
It generally has about 50% less, but caffeine levels vary greatly between different varieties of 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.

Huh - just found that exact same link.
Oh, and I just noticed that my Bigelow green tea says to steep one to two minutes. I've been steeping it for about five. But OTOH I'm not using boiling water, just hot water out of a water cooler thingie.
