My grocery store is literally 0.7mi from my house, but there's no sidewalks along the two 6 lane roads I'd need to follow to feet there.

I'm just guessing, but I assume that after a certain point, what you're trying to draw is so niche and/or new that no one's bothered to make decent software for it. Like, you can do a Feynman diagram quickly on a chalk board, or spend 3x as long dragging lines in Visio or something to make a diagram diagram.

Even with CAD existing, I still always sketch initial project ideas out on paper just cause it's fast and easy.

The full moon is about 31 arc minutes in apparent size. Andromeda is about 190 arc minutes in apparent size. Based on my Eclipse photos at 700mm, the biggest issue you're likely to have with the 300 f/2.8 is picking what part of Andromeda you want to fit in your photo.

Hypoallergenic GMO cats are possibly coming in the future. I think I read before that there doesn't seem to be a downside to coding out the protein/s that cause most allergies.

I mostly disassembled an antique camera lens, only to realize I need to custom machine a tool to proceed any further in fixing it. This is what I get for not fully watching the 6 hours of YouTube videos in this camera repair series before starting.

I can go to any weekend gun show and buy as many guns as i want from anyone there with no questions asked. It's harder to legally own one in several states, but getting a gun somewhere in the US is easy, and if you're driving back, it's not like the police have a gun radar to keep you from bringing them home.

Chicken Tikka Masala appears to have credibly originated in the UK. It's probably as British as Beef Stroganoff is Russian (okay, looking it up, it looks like the latter may be at least a bit of a myth, but it gets my point across).

Not sure about the commercial planes, but some planes have a redundant wing.

I like the idea, but I can't come up with any method that won't devolve into most reviewers only checking the highlighted parts tbh.

Disclaimer: I could be wrong or not up to date, but this is my current understanding.

On the small scale, forces like electromagnetism and gravity pull things together much much faster than the rate of cosmological expansion. That's why "we" don't expand, and neither does our frame of reference. There's a potential end to the universe where the rate of cosmological expansion (which increases over time) finally exceeds gravity and electromagnetism and eventually even the strong force, causing everything to fly apart forever.

Light waves propagate through spacetime itself, and basically it ends up being that there's nothing pulling it back from expanding as the space it travels expands.

No, this is actually the first time I'm hearing that this exists unfortunately.

I was obsessed with making variations of it on TI calculators in high school lol
