My old man was a fan of Yes, and so when they went on tour sometime around maybe 2003, I don’t recall specifically, Rick Wakeman came back to play keys for the tour, and it was a real treat.
Not an airplane fact, but when I took classes for driving ambulances (CEVO), they always cited 35mph as the speed where an ambulance can hydroplane on some amount of water that I cannot recall. Something with surface tension. I’m not a scientist.
I just made Serious Eats All-American Beef Stew earlier today, and they call for anchovies (which I had none, so I substituted fish sauce) as the umami bomb. But even for folks who get grossed out by little fish, it gets blended with chicken stock, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, and soy sauce (and gelatin), to create the base. Fish sauce has become a staple in my house for certain recipes, it’s great.
I have this idea for a dystopian story where we’ve figured out aging and can keep people alive forever, but it’s only done so that people can continue to work in order to pay off their debts, and only once you’ve done so are you allowed to die. And the people who administer the anti-aging treatment are also the ones who hold the notes on your debt. I’ll get around to writing it one day. I’m sure it’ll just be a copy of Running Man or something.
Ha, I’m the opposite. I’ll run every day if I can eat oreos every night.



And osmosis is the hyper fusion of water across a semipermeable membrane.
I failed biology because I just refused to study (was an idiot), but that one always stuck with me.
