I've never read the book, but just saw Dune in IMAX: A+. I cannot understate how much I loved this movie. High on the all time list. -- nm - MDH Oct 27, 20:12 10
- Iirc, the story was so dense you could serialize it and have one episode per page with a whole plot -- nm - zeitgeist Oct 27, 20:15 4
  - I've only read the first book, and I only read it this summer, but this take is within a few pages of being correct. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 27, 20:25 3

  - Interesting. The bf has read it a bunch, not sure if in school. I don't read sci-fi, so I had no idea what it was about, but I was blown away. -- nm - MDH Oct 27, 20:15 1
    - It was one of those 'choose your own book' things and some TA recommended it as I recall. I'm not a sci-fi person - ty97 Oct 27, 20:23
- If you watch it on HBOMax or anything not a huge theater with amazing sound, you've made a big mistake. -- nm - MDH Oct 27, 20:12 1

Loosi, how do these glass facts transfer to things like silver ware in drawers we may open & close many many times a day? -- nm - Peglegpete Oct 27, 19:35 4
- None. Silverware is filthy. The glassware is a habit I picked up from being a lab tech. - loosilu Oct 27, 19:41 3
  - My entire point when I asked the question was that it was a weird habit I got from a particular job. -- nm - loosilu Oct 27, 19:43 2
    - I keep glasses turned over too. It's a habit I picked up drinking in bars. -- nm - zunk xometimes Oct 27, 19:57 1

It’s always been a sign of encouragement to me to know that if I ever forget my mask, I can just go out to the sidewalk and find that someone’s left one there for me. -- nm* - Mop Oct 27, 19:32

- Although it's possible the emerging bill is the first thing, not the second thing like Josh reads it, but who...knows at this point? -- nm - ty97 Oct 27, 19:29 2
  - My takeaway from that is that Josh is kind of cute. -- nm - Danoween-ween Oct 27, 19:32 1
    - Yeah, though he seems to be the standard semi-douchey rich kid. His husband is cute too. -- nm - ty97 Oct 27, 19:33

- Very sorry for your loss. :-( -- nm - Krusty Oct 27, 20:28
- So sorry for your loss. Can they do something like name the scholarship award with his name? -- nm - Danoween-ween Oct 27, 19:30 1
  - I'm sure we'll look at something like that, but our current scholarships are already memorials. We'd need to find the funds for a new one. -- nm - MonsterMeg Oct 27, 19:39
- Sending you all my love. -- nm - loosilu Oct 27, 19:23

Were you raised with any habits you now know are filthy? My mother believed wet wipes were "too expensive". So before every long car trip - loosilu Oct 27, 19:02 4
- Not my habit - my dad would clean the bathroom, toilet last and then use the cloth for wiping down the mirror. - . Oct 27, 19:41 1
  - OMG -- nm - loosilu Oct 27, 19:48
- Like using the same rag to wipe up anything that needed wiping to wipe a fork, a cup, no rinse, Like why? -- nm - zeitgeist Oct 27, 19:16 1
  - Yes that is correct. Why? because wet wipes are too expensive. - loosilu Oct 27, 19:24
Now trying to decide whom to vote for in the Recorder of Deeds and Register of Wills races. -- nm - Danoween-ween Oct 27, 18:44 11
- What about the office of wizardry. Like New Zealand used to have? -- nm - zeitgeist Oct 27, 19:45

- Town Troubador? -- nm - Strongbad Oct 27, 18:53
- did you pick the coroner yet? -- nm - loosilu Oct 27, 18:49 6
  - The coroner is running unopposed. -- nm - Danoween-ween Oct 27, 19:04 5
    - You should run for coroner. There are literally no quals. -- nm - loosilu Oct 27, 19:30 3
      - My campaign slogan will be: "I may not know much, but I can tell when someone is dead." -- nm - Danoween-ween Oct 27, 19:34 1
        
        "Do you want zombies? When I'm on the job, the dead stay dead!" -- nm - Max for Coroner 2021 Oct 27, 19:59

I've unfollowed three accounts on twitter today so far. - ty97 Oct 27, 18:43 7

Spawn, serious question! about the upside down glassware. I was taught that rule my first day in Chem class freshman year. Right side up is filthy. -- nm - loosilu Oct 27, 18:30 31
- Yes, you protect where the stuff that you will be drinking goes. But with Amy and Logan they are on constant rotation so I accepted her way. -- nm - Spawn Oct 27, 20:46
- Otoh, turning a glass upside down while on a shelf can trap moisture and allow bacteria to grow -- nm - zeitgeist Oct 27, 19:20 1
  - That is good thinking! in real life it does not work that way at all. - loosilu Oct 27, 19:33
- Regarding actual cleanliness: In real life, you need to think of yourself as being in an eternal rain shower. - loosilu Oct 27, 18:36 27
  - that's why I keep the cabinet door closed -- nm - Peglegpete Oct 27, 19:33 3
    - Tons of shit in your cabinet air. Even under a lab hood, it is STRINGENTLY required to never uncover any container for more than a split second. -- nm - loosilu Oct 27, 19:35 2
      - I bet it costs a fortune to have a maid service that does lab level cleaning -- nm - Peglegpete Oct 27, 19:37 1
        
        What was my point? Once you were trained to turn glassware upside down, you can never stop. Ever. -- nm - loosilu Oct 27, 19:40
  - Yep, all that bacteria raining down... onto the surface you're putting in contact with the part of the glass that touches your lips... -- nm - Ender Oct 27, 19:23
  - CLEAN ROOM technique goes a lot further. I will sum up - loosilu Oct 27, 18:45
  - Can we nominate a post for worst post ever? -- nm - ty97 Oct 27, 18:38 20
    - admitting right here I'm a freak and clueless. What is bad about it? -- nm - loosilu Oct 27, 18:46 17
      - Ignorance sometimes is bliss on certain topics for certain people (this topic: me) -- nm - ty97 Oct 27, 18:52 9
        
        hi ty!!! I'm reality! you quarantined your packages but you drink out of FILTHY containers. -- nm - loosilu Oct 27, 18:54 8

        did you never notice how the glassware was arranged in hotel rooms? If not upside down, covered with paper. -- (edited) - loosilu Oct 27, 18:56 6
        
        I assumed that was to keep dust and fluids and viscera out, not microbes! -- nm - Beryllium Oct 27, 19:16 5
        
        how the eff would fluids and viscera get into glassware on a counter? - loosilu Oct 27, 19:26 4
        
        I've heard stories. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 27, 20:34
        
        You've obviously never shared a hotel room with Bery. -- nm - Danoween-ween Oct 27, 19:35 2

      - I think it's because you're speaking the truth to an unpleasant aspect of reality that few have consciously grappled with. They probably have - Beryllium Oct 27, 18:48 6
        
        omg. you mean a ... cup. -- nm - loosilu Oct 27, 18:49 5

        We had a cup at home. Yes. Shared. *heave* -- nm - loosilu Oct 27, 18:53
    - Oh, there have been worse. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 27, 18:46 1
      - Many probably by me. -- nm - loosilu Oct 27, 18:48
