What's the name of that station?
I've only been to NYC once, about ten years ago, but I did pass through this stop and if memory serves, it's called Mets-Willits Point... I think? It's the last or next to last stop before the Flushing terminus, that I do remember.

Pico de gallo is fruit salad in c/[email protected]

Pico de gallo is also the name of a street stand fruit cocktail in my town in Mexico.
Chunks of jicama, orange and... there's another one I'm forgetting.

You sprinkle salt and powdered chili on top, then squeeze the juice of a large lime on top. It's all eaten with a toothpick, you spear the chunks of jicama, orange and the other one.

The blues singer character Mississippi Gary from The Kids In The Hall comes to mind:

I got the blues so bad, I can't even close my eyes... I gotta call a friend on the phone and tell him - "Buddy, come over and shut my eyes for me, I got the blues".

My thought also, due to the chairs for showering.

Yeah, thank god I'm nowhere near that damned thing, and never will be.

There's a middle-aged guy I know with a degree in physics 'n' shit, and every single text he sends me finishes with the ol' 😂 or 🤣 flourish. Which with unreasonable intensity annoys the hell out of me.

I'm sure it's somehow "all da libruls fault".

This is exactly what life under communism is like.

This sanctimonious yet ignorant, idiotic pronouncement sounds like another type of thing that this sanctimonious yet ignorant type of idiot would say: bOtH pArTiEs ArE tHe SaMe LoL aMiRiTe.

Why are there Neutron Stars but we never hear about Proton Stars or Electron Stars? (lemmy.world)

Regarding the arrow of time, is there any correlation or study between it and music? As in: it sounds "right" when played in one direction, but "weird" when played backwards. (lemmy.world)

If the universe was stationary (not expanding), how far away was the Cosmic Microwave Background (as we detect it today) when it was emitted? (lemmy.world)

If I place a prism on a ray of sunlight in a dark room as Newton did, but projected onto modern sensors, can it register microwaves and radio photons beyond the infrared? More in text inside... (lemmy.world)
 

If the answer is YES, a related follow-up question: if each visible color of the spectrum were to measure a centimeter in width, how far would I have to move the sensor from the red to detect the change from infrared to microwave, then to radio?

In the knowledge that Sir William Herschel discovered infrared by repeating Newton's experiment, but with a thermometer to measure the temperature of each component of the spectrum, and after placing the thermometer a bit to the side of the red light, in darkness, noticed quite by accident that the device would still register heat, therefore an invisible yet very real component of light was there, warming the thermometer.

Does anyone here know of a website or video, or at least sound files, of LIGO's black hole (or neutron star) chirps in slow and ultraslow playback speed? (lemmy.world)
 

Now I'm just being the curious layman here, but a Google/YouTube search proved fruitless.

Why is it that in every movie podcast, when they happen to mention actor RALPH Fiennes, always say RAY Fiennes? (lemmy.world)
 

It's one of those pet peeves that rub me the wrong way, and they all seem to do it, whether it's anywhere around The Ringer network, or the Earwolf network, or the Blank Check podcast to name a few, they always say "Ray" instead of "Ralph".

The man's real full name is Ralph Nathaniel Twisleton-Wykeham-Fiennes, quite a fancy mouthful, but not even a hint of "Ray" or "Raymond" in there. Did everyone in the podcasting world decide to pronounce his name wrong on purpose?

25
In particle decay, is there a difference when they say "average lifetime" vs "half life"? Also: in the Large Hadron Collider, how long does a particle collision event (or experiment) last? (lemmy.world)

What food or item/brand did you use to love, but isn't around anymore? (lemmy.world)
 

Me first: in the early 80s, I remember the Vons supermarket chain had their own brand of sour cream dip for potato chips, one flavor that people I know loved was fresh pismo clam, it still had chunks of clam meat in there. One day it got yanked from the shelves and I've never seen it again.

More recently, about a decade ago, Trader Joe's carried cheddar-and-horseradish potato chips, then one day they were gone.

I would love... LOVE... to dip those horseradish chips into that clam dip... sigh.

If the difference between electrons and positrons, or quarks and antiquarks, is having opposite charge, what's the difference between chargeless neutrinos and antineutrinos? (lemmy.world)
35
Are there any theoretical photon energies or frequencies above gamma rays, or below radio waves? (lemmy.world)
63
As imaginary numbers (square root is negative) are useful, is there any mathematical use for an imaginary number that, when multiplied by zero, gives a non-zero result? (lemmy.world)

Like Neo in The Matrix and "I know kung fu", what one ability would you choose to upload directly to your mind? (lemmy.world)
