Which wing spot in Buffalo, NY has the best blue cheese dressing?

I just had an excellent homemade blue cheese dressing at a friend’s house and it’s turning me on to the idea of opening my heart to accompanying wings with it (I usually go without any dip).

Which place in Buffalo has the best blue cheese dressing?

TIL bananas contain enough naturally occurring radioactive potassium that scientists created a reference unit called the "Banana Equivalent Dose" to help explain radiation exposure. (Eating bananas won't give you cancer -- the potassium exits the body through urine.)

Best guides for remaining achievements?

Hi, all! I am approaching endgame with achievements and I think I’m down to the most difficult achievements remaining. Does anyone have recommendations for which guides you have found helpful for these?

  • Contagion cancelled
  • Who needs science?
  • Super sparrow
  • Mr. President
  • Lava God
  • Film fanatic (solved!)
  • The future is bright (solved!)
  • Power overwhelming

[Self] If an alien offered you a 1-week trip with the catch that 15 years pass on Earth, how far could you actually go?

Let’s assume the alien ship travels at a constant speed and that the entire trip (including the return trip) takes 1 week of ship time while 15 years pass on Earth.

Step 1: Calculate the Lorentz factor

Special relativity tells us:
γ = t / τ

where:
t = time measured on Earth
τ = time measured on the ship
15 years = 15 × 365 = 5475 days

So:
γ = 5475 / 7 ≈ 782.14

The ship therefore needs a Lorentz factor of about 782.

Step 2: Calculate the required speed

The Lorentz factor is:
γ = 1 / √(1 - v²/c²)

Solving for v:
v = c √(1 - 1/γ²)

Substituting γ = 782.14:
v ≈ 0.999999182 c

So the ship must travel at about:
99.9999182% of the speed of light

Step 3: How far could the ship go if the entire trip lasts one week?

Half the trip is outbound, half inbound.
Ship time per leg:
7 days / 2 = 3.5 days

Earth time per leg:
3.5 × 782.14 ≈ 2737.5 days ≈ 7.50 years

Since the ship is moving at essentially c, the one-way distance is approximately:
7.50 light-years

This means the maximum turnaround distance is about:

7.5 light-years from Earth, which is enough to reach a handful of nearby star systems, but nowhere close to “across the universe.” Probably the most interesting thing in this radius is Proxima Centauri b, which might be the closest semi-habitable planet outside our solar system. Since it’s well within the 7.5 light year radius, it also buys us some time for a longer visit.

Step 4: A trip to Proxima Centauri b

Proxima Centauri b is about 4.24 light-years away.

At 0.999999182 c:

Earth-frame travel time (one way):
4.24 / 0.999999182 ≈ 4.24 years
Round trip:
≈ 8.48 years
Ship-frame travel time:
4.24 years / 782.14 ≈ 0.00542 years
≈ 1.98 days each way
3.96 days round trip

Step 5: How long could you stay on Proxima b?

The total Earth-time budget is 15 years.

Travel consumes 8.48 years, so:
15 − 8.48 = 6.52 years

Because you’re no longer moving relativistically while on the planet, Earth’s clock and the planet’s clock run at essentially the same rate.

Therefore you could spend approximately:
6.52 years on Proxima Centauri b
before returning home.

One small caveat: this assumes instantaneous acceleration/deceleration and ignores the enormous acceleration phases that a real spacecraft would require.

Another Disclosure Day post, because this sub doesn't have enough

If you liked it, I can see why. If you didn't like it, I can see why.

My only question is this: why don't we maintain a megathread for discussing wide releases?

Up-to-date song archive?

Hey all! A few years back, I remember putting together a spreadsheet of all known tMG songs (released and unreleased). I can't locate it anymore, so I started looking through this sub and can only find other outdated databases. Anyone know where I can find something current?

In the Circle -- a Mother's Day poem about the temple, queerness, and neglect

“In the Circle”

When I was nineteen, 
I stood in a circle 
dressed like a whisper. 
White from collar to ankle, 
barefoot, 
holding hands with a woman 
I had known my whole life 
and never quite met.

They said: 
This is the true order of prayer. 
But it felt more like 
learning a dance 
with all the mirrors removed.

Her hand in mine 
was the temperature of porcelain— 
not cold, 
just untouched. 
She stared ahead 
like revelation might finally look back. 
And I stared at the space 
between our fingers, 
trying to remember 
if we had ever held hands 
before this.

We turned toward the altar. 
Voices rose in quiet unison. 
I pressed my palm 
against my mother’s palm 
and felt the absence 
like it was printed into her skin.  

I never learned how to carry 
the weight of a man’s name— 
only that it was handed to me 
like a toolbelt: 
Here’s your hammer. 
Here’s your silence. 
Here’s your hunger you’re not allowed to name.

We stood shoulder to shoulder 
in that circle of believers, 
pretending our softness was reverence 
and not a threat.

I repeated the ancient words. 
I stood still in the choreography 
and called it faith. 
I watched my mother vanish 
beneath her veil 
and wondered 
if God would recognize her 
before I did.

I didn’t know what I believed. 
But I believed in the ache of it, 
in the gravity of hands 
touching gently, 
without needing a reason 
other than this is how we reach heaven.

Now 
I live outside that circle. 
I have unbuckled the belt. 
Loosened the name. 
Asked questions 
the ceremony refused to answer. 
There are layers I am still scraping off, 
dried wax from wood grain— 
what the patriarchy left behind 
when it burned through 
everything soft.

But sometimes, 
in the soft animal dark of early morning, 
I remember how the room held us— 
twelve bodies, or something like them, 
standing so still 
it almost felt like peace.

I still say the words sometimes, 
in the shower, 
or while folding laundry: 
O God, hear the words of my mouth.

And I do not know 
who I’m speaking to— 
only that I am still 
the same creature 
who once wept 
at the quiet of a hand resting on their shoulder 
and wanted it to mean 
something like love.
