I met my fiancee at 31, and I only had one real relationship before that and was single for over 10 years. Just because you've been unsuccessful so far doesn't mean you're forever alone.

Chemical castration is a pretty extreme reaction. I would suggest you interrogate why you want to do this, like at the deepest levels. Removing your libido won't keep you from being lonely.

You say you were in therapy for 7 years. What kind? Was it all with the same therapist? Maybe you need a different therapist, or perhaps an actual psychiatrist or psychologist, or to try a different form of therapy. There's lots of things to try.

You say you've been unsuccessful in dating. What does that mean? You're focusing on your libido, so does that mean you're having trouble getting sex, specifically? Is that all you're focused on in dating? If so, maybe you need to change your approach to dating.

"The length of the path travelled by light in vacuum during a time interval of ⁠1/299792458⁠ of a second, where the second is defined by a hyperfine transition frequency of caesium."

This is the actual definition, but it's also pretty weird.

Stuart Semple hates Anish Kapoor. He hates him so much that he requires those who purchase his paints to sign that they are not Anish Kapoor, are not buying them for Anish Kapoor, and will do everything they can to make sure they do not end up in the possession of Anish Kapoor.

This has to do with how the eggs are sanitized before they're sold. In places where you need to keep them refrigerated, they've been washed in such a way that a protective layer has been removed. In countries that keep their eggs on the counter, this has not been done.

Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons, right near the end. I don't want to spoil too much, but I never thought a game mechanic would make me emotional.

Most optometrist offices can adjust the temples for you, and (at least for glasses they sold you) will usually do it for free. You should find a pair that fits the best you can and take it to your optometrist. It only takes a few minutes, and if you find the fit is still too tight afterwards, take them back and ask them to try again.

At this rate, Bronze Age 2: (non) Electric Boogaloo

...you mean phones?

Except, it is mostly scat/jibberish! Just in Finnish! Most of the song is nonsense lyrics.

I like exercise that is also something else and isn't purely exercise for its own sake. Things like hiking, where I get to see scenery and animals, or biking, which serves as a mode of transportation. Currently, I do renaissance fencing, which is fun and social in its own right, and I get to master a skill.

Wasn't this Wesley's attempt at an early admission? It could be they specifically limited early admission candidates, and all 4 people we saw were competing for one of those slots.

Basically, physics says that nothing, not even information can actually travel faster than the speed of light. It's a universal limit that shows up when you do the math on relativity. This concept is called "causality".

Because of this, FTL communication is probably impossible. Quantum entanglement seems like it could provide a loophole, but it doesn't actually work that way. To actually use quantum entanglement for communication, it actually needs a confirmation message, which would have to be delivered by a different means (every quantum message needs a non-quantum confirmation). That confirmation would be bound by the speed of light, thus preserving causality.

This is a very very rough description based on my memory, so some details may be a little off, but it should cover the gist. This article goes into more detail:

Edit: After reading, the answer is more that attempting to impart information onto the entangled particles to send a message necessarily breaks the entanglement and thus does not transmit the information to the other side. Entangling the particles makes their states related to each other, but only at the time of entanglement, and anything that changes either particle (including measuring it) will break the entanglement going forward.

I went a few weeks ago, it was an awesome experience! My biggest disappointment was simply that the experience was so rushed and we didn't get enough time to appreciate being on the bridge.

I was wearing a Voyager uniform with Captain's pips, and one of the actors said "Glad to have you aboard, Captain," which absolutely made my night.

But...why? Popping the cork is fun and festive, and considering most people only have that experience a handful of times in their lives, why try to stifle that little joy?

Because, unfortunately, he's basically the reason the movie got made. Nobody was really interested in making the movie, and he basically pushed to get it going with himself as the star.

I also am upset about this fact, and am not planning to watch it.

You have 2 apples. I give you 2 more. How many apples do you have? Unless you redefine what the numbers or the operators mean, then you now have 4 apples. That's a truth that is evident in the world and can be verified. That's what a fact is.

He didn't suggest we could never determine the age of the moon. He said that science refines it's methods and gathers new information, and so we may change our estimate of its age based on new evidence.

Me too. But I'll just note, I think you have to have played the first Spiderman game and Miles Morales to really get it. It needs that emotional build up over time.

Only if you completely redefine some aspect of the equation. You'd have to define "5" to actually mean "4" or change the meaning of "+" or "=" in some way that changes the operation. 2+2=4 isn't just an abstract statement, it's based on the way the physical world works. If you have 2 apples, and then I give you 2 more, you don't suddenly have 5 apples because we all decided 2+2=5.

Orwell's meaning in 1984 wasn't about belief changing the world, it was about the power of brainwashing and how fascism demands obedience.

Yeah, I think in terms of a regularly scheduled passenger transport, something like a runabout or even larger could be considered a "shuttle" by civilian standards.
