  • Podcast episode featuring Tim Russ - Go Fact Yourself episode 170

    Jump

  • Got me looking up Tim Russ's age, born in 1956 already!

    Found what I think is the Trek "Class of '56"

  • Thanks for the interesting link.

    Unfortunately that episode does not feature Tim Russ. Because the guy in the picture is... old. Like, elderly. So it can't be Tim Russ, because if he's elderly, then that would mean I'm at least... 8-O

    Hence, QED, unpossible!

  • That's it, thanks!

    Wikipedia says not NASA but the German Space Agency and European astronauts who went up to Mir did use them for exercise.

  • Thanks. Several lemmings have given their opinion, and it seems the experience depends on the person.

    As someone who gets car sick just looking at a map, I would only try this with a predetermined safe word! :)

  • I never would have predicted the cultists' compound would now be at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue...

  • Of course!

    Wikipedia says they were used for training astronauts but:

    • they weren't invented for that, actually developed for people with spinal injuries
    • they depend on gravity, so can be used in training on earth, but not in space itself

    I've added Gattaca to the list of films now in my OP.

  • Somehow I completely missed that of course Perot must have had a running mate. Thanks for the info.

    Wikipedia even mentions yet another 90s scifi movie I saw it in recently that I forgot had one (e.g. Lawnmower Man).

  • Have you tried boric acid? I originally used it for cockroaches but I've also had success with ants (regular ones, not teeny tiny little ones :) ).

  • Another satisfied customer of boric acid.

    Viewed a flat on a Sunday, went ahead and rented it. Realized after moving in that all the sandwich shops serving the nearby uni Monday-Friday drew an ungodly amount of cockroaches. I hated getting up for a glass of water in the middle of the night because I knew the horror show I'd see upon entering the kitchen after dark.

    Roach traps didn't make a dent, and we had two cats so didn't want to go in for heavy duty poisons.

    Read about boric acid in a Metafilter post, spread some along the usual scurrying areas and... wow! Barely saw one ever again.
