This is obviously evidence of an ancient interstellar overlords doing planetary strip mining. Damn, can't even our beloved overlords act with some respect for the environment!
Yes, the swirly lines don't really look like a feature of the landscape. I'll hold judgement, though, until I hear a reputable scientist talk about it.
For those not on the in on this one, Molier and Moleen are two mole like creatures involved in the archaeological dig of an ancient underground city (they team up with Dr. TJ Taroo). Listen to the radio play at the link. You won't regret it!
...really is about rather than the pop-science version. After all, fossils have been 3D since the dawn of time - well, almost anyway.
I've personally never encountered anything that had fewer than three spatial dimensions. But I'm sure what was meant was that the fossil was informative in all three dimensions.

The question to me on this issue seems not to be whether fewer deaths would have resulted from an invasion of Japan than the use of the atomic bomb, but rather whether or not an invasion of Japan, without the bomb, would have been necessary to end the war.
Even if we disregard the possibility that Japan was already ready to surrender, I still find it difficult to justify an invasion of mainland Japan. By this time, Japanese power was effectively crushed, and without access to the material resources it had obtained in its conquests, Japan could not have posed a serious further threat to the region if proper measures were taken to secure from Japan the means to pose further threat, for example by the creation of military bases in the region, strengthening other states in the region, etc. Ultimately it should not matter if a nation formally surrenders or not. Japan had already lost the war.

Oh, well, all's well that ends well, and Japan is probably better off today not being an imperialist expansionist state.
For guitar amps, I'll take a tube over transistor anyday. But it is worth noting two things: a lot depends on what kind of sound you're looking for. Second that some of the tube simulators do a pretty damn fine job, nowadays.
The hourly rate (of a room) is from $3,125 to $6250, depending upon the specific accomodations you want. The rate is based upon a prorated daily rate, with an additional 50% charge.

Actually, the word is that Data's return from death is going to be an integral plot element in the upcoming feature. Somehow, he's involved in the foundation of the Federation. Maybe he impresses the Vulcans?

Given your expertise, I hope that you might resolve a small controversey amongst my friends about what is and what isn't the brain. I contended that the eyes (in which I include the system of nerves connected to the eyes) could properly be considered to be part of the brain (and similarly with the nerves in my toes). My friends disagreed. Aside from proposing a merely technical and heuristic definition of the brain, I am uncertain how, e.g. the eyes, can justifiably (in the sense of corresponding with reality) be said to be a separate entity from the brain. A modular brain does not warrant such a conclusion, and as far as I can see, neither should the above. What are your thoughts?

GODZILLA!
So who in this debate about ammonia is right, please?
Just 17 days to go...and I thought that the summer olympics were going to be next year...
Will this be my first ever first post? Meaningless!
And if you overclock, you can make tea with it.
Don't you mean that this is a job for Molier, and his niece Moleen?

I'll laugh at your jokes, if you laugh at mine. But don't make it an arms race. I have only limited oxygen to breathe.
