Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

It makes sense for swimming, wrestling, and some track-and-field sports like discus and shot put where there's not a lot of running involved. The pole vault and running hurdles, NSM.

Art Crawl!!!

Yes, that's a confusing sentence that I also had to read more than once to fully understand.

Couldn't there be some [beat] awkward [beat] consequences in wrestling. Or maybe this is a non-computer case of "that's not a bug, its a feature".

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Wrestling is personal enough with your clothes on. There are many holds that would generate much earlier tap outs if naked.

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

Google Maps must have assumed you were Batman....

Yeah, I should probably uncheck that in my profile.

Why don't I have that option in my profile?

Recently there was a conference on multiple universes, or multiverses....

Many scientists look down on philosophy as mere question-posing and guesswork. But philosophy seems impossible to avoid when discussing certain problems in physics, especially those dealing with fundamental aspects of reality, such as cosmology and particle physics. In his entertaining talk, Davies referred to the old Hindu story of the Earth resting on the backs of four elephants, which in turn stand on a giant turtle. One is then faced with the question of what the turtle stands on. Perhaps there is some kind of ultimate explanation down below, a Prime Cause – some kind of “super-turtle” that brings the chain of explanation to an end.

For many physicists, Davies said, the laws of physics themselves have served as such an explanation. But this view becomes problematic if the laws themselves change over time, or vary from region to region. Alternatively, there may simply be no ultimate explanation, he suggested, in which case one must accept an infinite regression of causes — "turtles all the way down.”

I dunno - I've held the "turtles all the way down" view for so long, the "super-turtle" theory just blows my little mind....

Some of the entertainment I've bought considers it not just a feature, but the main selling point.
