I agree mostly with Voidus - we age based on experienced time. Einsteinian relativity and all that. For most Pulsers/Sliders, it's probably not going to matter that much. But...cadmium burns really slowly. So take a cadmium savant and make him crazy enough to spend a crapton of time in a bubble. You can get some weird aging effects.

Keep going. There is soooo much you haven't even scratched the surface of yet.

OK, first off, it's spelled "sabbat". Second, what in the name of furry purple wood sprites is, "the waxing moon is also directly on the equinox on the release date of the movie" supposed to mean? These words make no sense in relation to each other! We have two equinoxes a year - fall and spring. Yule is the winter *solstice*. It's like he just strung together a bunch of word salad that sounded vaguely pagany!

You'd still only be able to use your freehand to play it. Fabric would interfere with covering and uncovering the holes, and thus the integrity of the instrument's tone and pitch.

True enough. I am both a Kemetic Pagan and a complete and total nerd, so I notice these things. But...they really did butcher even the really well-known Set vs. Heru struggle myth, so far as I can see. It's a very pretty movie with lots of pretty costumes and absolutely zero substance to any of it.

They aren't even using the proper names. Which, OK, I get it, nobody recognizes most of them because everyone uses the Romanicized versions. Wesir/Osiris, Aset/Isis, Heru/Horus, etc. But dangit, people, even the Mummy movies, when people were speaking Egyptian, actually managed to do stuff like call Anubis by his proper name Anpu! Sorry, but when the people behind Indiana Frasier did their homework better than you, you gots problems.

Setting aside all of the religious inaccuracies (of which is pretty much everything), there's also the standard Hollywood egregious whitewashing of the cast. These are people and gods who should (depending on who you ask) either of Middle Eastern or African descent. I'd say it ought to be a mix of both, given that ancient Egypt was a crossroads of many different cultures, but the simple truth is we just don't know. Their art was so stylized and symbolic that it's hard to get a good idea of what they actually looked like out of that. But they definitely, certainly, absolutely should not be a bunch of Caucasians.

Infinity-squared.

Yay, we're the evil ones! (Seriously, Ma'at would just look down her nose at that theory and just be like, ppsssht, I'm the ultimate in truth and justice, y'all are idjits.)

I don't think I'd be able to look my reflection in the eye if I didn't share this little bit of discovered madness with you all:

It loads for me. There may be something about your region currently and/or your internet security settings that's messing with your access, though I don't know why. I get that error sometimes at work for our internal applications, and it's usually due to yet another update to our systems removing my nomerge command hack on Internet Explorer, but that doesn't seem like it'd apply to your problem.

You are all the nerd. Which is exactly how we like you.

I would presume that time passes normally from the individual person's point of view - you're going to age per the amount of time you have personally experienced.

We obviously don't have any snowbirds here, but the entire country has people who do that power trip "you can't pass me" crap. People, I have my cruise control on. I can tell you're changing your speed.

And then continue to do exactly the same thing to everyone else as far as the eye can see, dodging back and forth through traffic lanes like a stoned roadrunner.

I was under the impression that chromium actually eliminates the metals themselves, like aluminum does.

Um. Yeah. What you said. Delicious things: cool whip, pineapples marshmallows Icky things: pistachio & pecans I am so torn.

People who think that turn signals are optional. Especially people who think that turn signals are optional and then change lanes in front of me four inches from my front bumper.

You really need new parents. Have you tried taking them into the store for a refund?

I still wanna see someone successfully do the pickle trick.

Ah, well. I tried!

Just tell your brother to make his plans, and you make your plans, and ignore your parents. There is no need for either of you to inconvenience your selves just because your genetic progenitors are idiots. It's a nice coast.

*shrug* I dunno. I think it's a lot more complicated than dominant vs. recessive.

Even better when that independence involves being on a different coast.
