Basically every episode of Columbo. The mystery isn’t the crime, but how he’s going to solve it.

While it is true that rote memorization is a terrible thing for schools to focus on, I find it interesting that the discussion immediately jumped to “America bad” with a presumption it was a unique American practice. The many comments from around the world show it seems to be a more widespread practice.

I don’t see what could go wrong with Germans building Panther tanks.

In my experience, people with “bad GPS” tend to disregard the GPS directions because they think they know better. Once they are good and lost, and the GPS is freaking out and frantically trying to reroute is about when they start to complain that the GPS is useless.

This is the strangest political compass meme I’ve ever seen.

I never thought about it like that.

The Fowlburgers are seasoned with cluckrub, which is tasty as hell, but cheese totally overpowers the flavor. Thats why you get one fowlburger with cheese and one without. Two different experiences.

No like how to defeat the concept of fish. Think of a fish, and then think about how to think about defeating that thought. You have to defeat the concept of the thing.

I’ll have two number 9s, a number 9 large, a number 6 with extra dip, a number 7, two number 45s, one with cheese, and a large soda.

Oh you have a common beginner question. Let me clear it up with a simple diagram:

The overall story really flailed around as the later seasons went on (IIRC during a writers’ strike is when there was a lot of issues), but ‘33’- the first episode of the first season is so fantastic I still remember it distinctly.

The style, tone, and acting of BSG really kept the show intriguing even if the plot went in circles sometimes.

12 yards long, 2 lanes wide, 65 tons of American pride! Macro USB! Macro USB! Top of the line. Unexplained fires are a matter for the courts!

The time for macro USB is now.

Attaching a bayonet doesn’t make shots impossible, but it can affect point of impact. The anecdotal answer in Garand shooting communities seems to vary anywhere between a 1 to 8 inch vertical shift at 100 yards, and an opening up of group sizes.

The vertical shift can be compensated for if you know what to expect on a given rifle (I’m going to assume a lot of little variables adding up between different rifles to account for different anecdotal differences), since pretty much everyone reports that a given rifle with a given bayonet is going to have a predictable shift.

The change mechanically is barrel flex and harmonics (which for years I have not will continue not to pretend to understand beyond the pop-sci tier articles I read).

There was almost certainly value in training to shoot with the bayonet attached, since attaching a bayonet was a plausible combat reality. Just because a bayonet might have degraded accuracy to suboptimal levels didn’t turn the Garand into a non-functional firearm.

Yuggoth, Great Cthulhu, Tsathoggua, Yog-Sothoth, R’lyeh, Nyarlathotep, Azathoth, Hastur, Yian, Leng, the Lake of Hali, Bethmoora, the Yellow Sign, L’mur-Kathulos, Bran, and the Magnum Innominandum…
