    Not super happy with this one

    spoiler

    Maybe if I’d known the word quipu it would’ve been easier, but it seemed pretty obvious that one category was things that are knotted, and then there was another category of things being worn. The vagueness of what kind of chain and the overlap of a tie also being knotted made this one frustrating











  • classic warp mechanics and subspace field theory you get at first year Starfleet academy

    They reference academy teachings, but it makes you wonder what HS physics classes look like in the 24th century. Like maybe warp mechanics specifically are the modern equivalent of building an engine, so you wouldn’t have classes addressing that directly unless you went to a school for putting vehicles together. But surely the basics of subspace needs to be discussed in the same way that light speed is the current known speed limit of the universe these days.






  • I teach foreign language students and they often write about how their food was “very delicious”, and it always sounds so jarring to me. There are a lot of really strong words that native speakers tend to not use very with.

    eg:
    very difficult task / very monumental task
    very good cooking / very superb cooking
    very happy man / very elated man

    For some reason intensifiers like so and such don’t have those restrictions:

    The task was very/so monumental.
    It was very/such superb cooking.
    He was very/so elated.
