nice. I never much got into lagering because I never had the storage space.

Are you using a traditional still or a reflux still? I kinda quit brewing/distilling when I had my second kid and bought a fixer-upper on the same day in 2016, but I still have all the parts for a bokakob sitting in my garage (and my brewing stuff, too). The kids are getting older, it’s probably time to break out one of the old brewing systems and rebuild the keezer.

What’d you brew most recently?

Oh shit, they finally released a full album? How did I miss that‽

It wasn’t until I was in my mid-30’s that I discovered stoner-doom existed as a metal genre, but I’ve really grown to love the riff worship and songwriting of the earlier/slower metal, especially Iommi.

I’ve got the same turntable and Sabbath sounds absolutely amazing on it. I’ve got a repress of Paranoid, but original pressings of Black Sabbath and Vol. 4 and I love cranking them up until it sounds just massive.

Not sure the neighbors love it, though

Love this one, especially on vinyl

Me too. I was really wondering what sort of interview this was.

Not, you’re thinking of Deadshot. A deadlock is a Scottish body of water that has been polluted to the point that no life exists in the lake.

So, one observer will see those oscillations happen faster than the other?

Not quite. In each observer’s frame of reference, time appears to pass the same; it’s only when you try to reconcile the between two objects that are not at rest with respect to each other does relativity show up.

Basically, when you bring someone back to Earth, the observers will find that their watches don’t match up even though both observers experience time passing the same way as normal (because the oberserver is by definition at rest with respect to their own frame of reference).

TL; DR: Relativity is a pain in the ass and makes no sense in everyday terms.

edit: disclaimer - I am not a physicist and have not taken physics classes in a decade plus, but I do teach science at a college. I’m going mostly on half-remembered lectures and some random one-off discussions I’ve had with my buddy in the physics department over the past few years.

I mean, this is the real answer here, but you can’t just put them on UTC because of the relativity like we were discussing elsewhere, so it would still have to be a separate time zone for programming and timekeeping purposes, even if humans won’t be able to tell the difference

It’s been a long time since I took modern physics, so I’m not positive, but I think you’re right that the moon would have time moving slower, and if your 50ms/day is right (edit: I based this on the moon traveling faster than the earth, but I don’t know anything about gravitational relativity, so that’s probably wrong) then you’d need to do something like skip a second every 20th day on the moon to keep pace with Earth. We could call it an “anti-leap-second”

Programmers, that seems pretty simple; what’s the big deal? ^/s

No, the moon’s rotation isn’t on a 24-hour cycle. I’m not an astronomer, but I pretty sure since it’s tidally locked to earth and on a 28-day cycle around the earth, a lunar day is actually 28 Earth days, but I’m not actually sure how that would factor into the number of time zones (I’m pretty sure it would be more complicated than just 24 time zones to match 24 time zones on earth, though).

Plus, I think the speed of the moon relative to the sun is different enough from Earth that you need to take relativity into effect, which is the real headache here.

Not a programmer, but I run Neutral Good + Lawful Neutral at the office, because my work issued a docking station with two symmetrical monitors, but they also issued me a laptop instead of a desktop, so what am going to do, not use the third monitor?

So, it’s ugly, but it works since I either put baseball on one of the big monitors or Spotify on the laptop, and work on the other two.
