As a West Coaster, I had to look up nearly every term in this article. As usual, "Canadian" almost entirely means the central/east areas.
Oh good, I've been waiting for this.
I'm glad to see WCRI is still there, though it's hard to claim it's fully "off-campus".
There's no single cause. Forming memories requires many parts of the brain. Injury to or illness in any one of them can cause anteretrograde amnesia. It's like asking "what makes a person unable to walk?" Arthritis,…
The pronunciation of the word is already on the boundaries between "awk-toe-poos", "awk-tuh-puhs", and "awk-tah-piss" depending on your region just in America. So adding an additional "-es" that can be "-ehhs" or "-iz"…
A human or animal corpse that was accidentally mummified is still called a mummy. It's a technical term. A lot of mummies are just people who died in a peat bog, desert or ice cave. Many mummies were also made cruelly…
The drying is straightforward, water evaporates, but do you maintain a personal mikveh? I'm reading through the requirements and this is a serious piece of plumbing, expensive to install at home. But it has such a…
I hope they can get access to the materials collected by "The Art of Sierra" team. That team went around collecting hundreds of documents including many original background paintings and then completely failed to…
Oh, of course. My reply wasn't intended as a challenge. I'm just enthusiastic. It's one of my favorite "bad" games.
I have also been obsessed with "Below the Root" since it came out. Dale Disharoon/DeSharone had an odd insight into textures. Look at the ladders. Look at the vines, both those that can be climbed and those that can be…
I enjoy the similarity between this and the famous "Huey Lewis and the News" rant from American Psycho.
Appreciate it. Sincerely, 156876

You're aware that plenty of people have a child and don't succeed on any of these levels? Many millions of people. Their children suffer for it, of course. Having a child doesn't fix anybody. Suggesting that it does,…
It's frustrating that you explicitly said you don't want kids and 1/4 of the responses are "have kids". I would suggest (re)watching Groundhog's Day. After that I would suggest taking up a hobby that involves actual…
"The Law was named for Grant De Patie, a gas station worker who was killed in 2005 by an underage drunken driver ... Grant was dragged 7.5 kilometers before his body was dislodged from the white Chrysler LeBaron."
Make a little stop off in 1996, when Elder Scrolls: Daggerfall was procedurally generated and the map took 70 hours to cross. Buggy, empty-seeming and many issues with persistence. Procedural generation has always been…
The sexual economy of the time was barter-based. It was understood that women traded sexual access for economic advancement. Women couldn't even have their own credit cards. They had to be married and co-signed. In that…
This is a technical use of the word "collides". The Cruise car failed to yield, continued at a green light, and was struck by the fire truck. So presumably it did not detect the truck. It is sad that automated cars are…
That push was the first thing that happened after the Apollo/third-party nonsense. "Hey, we have a platform that's full of incredibly useful and obscure knowledge. It's so known for this that a video about how useful we…
It's also a "prisoner's dilemma" that involves playing against every other company on the planet. If you don't patent an idea that you use somebody else will and they will extract rent from you. So you must "defect" by…
Pooled water is tightly restricted in California by law. The combination of the climate and the land continuity with Mexico and Central America makes them particularly vulnerable to mosquito-borne illness and those…
The tire story was the result of Nordstrom's absorbing a local department store chain in Alaska. They weren't just taking in a product Nordstroms doesn't stock. The dumb version of the story was good PR at first and was…
That is a single-blind test unless your wife consistently made two portions with labels, randomized which one you got, tracked your migraines against a blinded list of the labels and examined the data afterward.
You might be half-remembering the TNG episode "Relics" in which Scotty is rescued from a Dyson sphere after seventy-five years in a transporter buffer. Scotty demands, and eventually obtains from Guinan, an actual…
