  • I went looking for a picture of it today and got very confused when maps sent me to Australia. There is a rural locale in Australia, named after the battle - Australian soldiers fought in the battle, so that does make sense. What threw me is that the road in the Australian version has a curvature that is very similar to the pictures in the OP:

    And yet, this is not the actual Passchendaele. That short circuited my brain for a few seconds this morning, imagining that it had just… never been rebuilt? Wait… part of WWII was fought in Australia? wtf?

    Anyway, no. The real deal is in Belgium. It was rebuilt. Here it is (lol):

    How weird is that?







  • I went there too. I think you’re underselling the transporter. They acted like you were about to get on like a motion sim or something, lined everybody up on those rows in front of the doors, then everything went black, sparkles coming from everywhere, a giant rush of wind upward is what it felt like - very confusing - and then BAM, the lights came on and you were on the bridge of the Enterprise-D.

    Hell of an effect and something I’ll never forget.

    And Quark’s bar man. It was so cool.




  • Well, it’s certainly not to say that an air fryer is as good as deep frying in all circumstances, that’s definitely not the case.

    But as far as these hash browns go - and I swear, I’m not being glib here - I literally cannot tell the difference between these things air fried and McDs. Like I have specifically gone and gotten McDs just to test the theory and I just can’t say that I find them any better at all.

    Not to mention, even if there was a perceptible difference in flavor or texture or any of it - air frying is definitely marginally healthier, so in my book: a win for air frying.

    But if you just plain disagree, I don’t mean to call you a liar. It’s just how I feel about it.
