  • Monkey King: Hero Is Back?

    Is the movie Monkey King: Hero Is Back part of a series?  And if so, what are the other movies in the series?  Its Wikipedia article doesn't say anything about sequels or prequels, but its title makes it sound like a sequel.  And I know there are other Monkey King movies, although I don't know if they're related.

  • Grilling two steaks to different temperatures?

    I'm cooking steaks on a gas grill.  How can I do that if my spouse likes her steak less well done than mine?

    Should I put them both on the grill at the same time, but take hers off first?  I don't want to do that, because then hers will be cold by the time mine is ready.

    Or should I put mine on the grill first, then take them off at the same time?  I heard I should cook the steaks at high temperatures with the lid open for a few minutes in order to sear them, then lower the temperature and close the lid to cook them the rest of the way.  How can I start her steak by searing it if I don't start cooking her steak until my steak is already done searing?  Should I wait to sear my steak until it's already been grilling for a few minutes?

  • Frederick Douglass?

    When I was a kid, I think I remember my teachers telling me that in the US in the 1850s, there was a debate among abolitionists about whether they should try to get slavery abolished immediately or gradually. Who were the leaders of each side of that debate?

  • Melting/boiling points of water?

    On the Celsius scale, what are the melting and boiling points of Vienna Standard Mean Ocean Water (VSMOW)? I'd like that answer under each of the following circumstances:

    1. Using the 1742 definitions, at 1 standard atmosphere of pressure (101.325 kPa).

    2. Using the 1744 definitions, at 1 standard atmosphere of pressure (101.325 kPa).

    3. Using the 1955 definitions, at 1 standard atmosphere of pressure (101.325 kPa).

    4. Using the 1983 definitions, at standard pressure (100 kPa).

    5a. Using the 1991 definitions, at standard pressure (100 kPa), using a thermometer calibrated to the triple point of mercury and the triple point of water.

    5b. Using the 1991 definitions, at standard pressure (100 kPa), using a thermometer calibrated to the melting point of gallium and the freezing point of indium.

    6. Using the 2020 definitions, at standard pressure (100 kPa), with a strict 2 point calibration.

    7a. Using the 2020 definitions, at standard pressure (100 kPa), using a thermometer calibrated to the triple point of mercury and the triple point of water.

    7b. Using the 2020 definitions, at standard pressure (100 kPa), using a thermometer calibrated to the melting point of gallium and the freezing point of indium.

    Of course, questions 5a and 7a only apply to the melting point of VSMOW, not its boiling point. And questions 5b and 7b are the other way around.

  • Locating a Jordan Peterson quote?

    I once saw a video online where Jordan Peterson said that learning new things is harder than it seems like it should be. And as an example he said that whenever you lose a tooth, you often spend the next day sticking your tongue in the hole where your tooth used to be. Because it takes all day for you to get used to the feeling of that tooth not being there anymore.

    That s not the exact wording, but it was something like that. Can anyone find the url of that video?

  • Pitfall! video game in Ready Player One movie?

    In the 2018 movie Ready Player One (based on the 2011 book Ready Player One) they said that Pitfall! is one of the only 2600 games that still hasn't ended. What is that supposed to mean? Are they suggesting that no one has beaten that game? Because a lot of people didn't realize that it can be beaten. But it can. Here's a 2011 guide on how to do it:

  • Mount Everest - how tall (from base)?

    Mount Everest's tip is 8,848 meters above sea level, but how tall is it above its base? Or to put it another way, how tall is its base? And how are they defining its base?

    This webpage:

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_Everest#Compar...

    says its base is 4,200-5,200 meters *above* sea level.

    But this webpage:

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Topographic_prominen...

    says its dry prominence is measured against the deepest point in the ocean, which is 10,911 meters below sea level.

  • British terms?

    What do British people call the 7 foods in this picture:

    http://oi67.tinypic.com/jzxogn.jpg

    In America #1 and #2 are both called cookies. And if someone says they'll give you a cookie, you don't know whether they'll give you #1 or #2. Americans call #3 crackers, #4 a roll, #5 a hamburger with a bun, #6 a cinnamon roll or a cinnamon bun, and #7 are called biscuits.

    The Oxford dictionaries says that British people use the term "biscuit" to refer to what Americans call a "cracker." Do they really call #3 crackers, or is the Oxford dictionaries just referring to #2? Americans wouldn't refer to #2 as crackers.

    Do the British have a word for #7? In America they serve them at Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC). I heard someone say British people call #7 rolls or buns, but then how would they distinguish them from #4 and #5? They're flakier than a roll, you don't put hamburgers on them, and they're not as sweet as scones.

    In this picture:

    Americans would call #2 crackers. Do British people really call those biscuits? Or is the Oxford dictionaries just referring to #3? Americans wouldn't call those crackers. Americans would call #3 cookies, just like #1.

    #4 is what Americans would call biscuits. They're like scones, but not as sweet. Do British people have terms for those? Do you have the food at all? In America they serve them at Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC), and they're delicious. I think they have KFC in Britain. Do they serve biscuits? If they don't, then you're getting screwed.

  • Ideal animal build?

    Cheetahs and lots of other animals have 4 legs. Insects have 6. Spiders have 8. Squid have 10 limbs. Some millipedes have 750 legs. Snakes don't have any. Humans have 2 legs plus 2 arms. Birds have 2 legs plus 2 wings.

    My question is: what setup do you think would be ideal?

    I'd suggest 8 limbs total: 4 legs, 2 arms, and 2 wings. But I'm not really sure. The hands should have long fingers, like humans, but maybe with retractable claws too. I'm not sure what type of feet would be best. Maybe hooves? Mountain goats seem to be able to get around pretty well.
