The Restaurant at the End of the Universe

Yes it does, thanks :)

So you'll be out from Thursday to Sunday this week as well, if I read that right?

Close.

This week the full holiday day is on Wednesday.

So the additional day is on Thursday.

1:46 AM

*facepalms* seven days -> Wednesday-Thursday, then Saturday one day after that.

Then Friday is a regular day.

And then Saturday is Sabbath.

So out for two days, back for one day, then gone for another day.

Yeah, I got my math wrong :D

Lockdown probably doesn't help with keeping track of time.

how 'bout no math at 2am

Though you'd actually be right if this was the other week-long holiday.

Because there it's Day 1 and Day 8 that have the restrictions.

Obviously that can't really be done now, but I'd be interested in street interviews along the lines of "which week day is it today?" then measuring the average number of seconds it takes for the interviewee to answer correctly.

So it's always the same days of the week two weeks in a row.

Sukkot

Sukkot (Hebrew: סוכות‎ or סֻכּוֹת, sukkōt), commonly translated as Feast of Tabernacles, traditional Ashkenazi pronunciation Sukkos or Succos; also known as Chag HaAsif (חג האסיף), the Feast of Ingathering, is a biblical Jewish holiday celebrated on the 15th day of the seventh month, Tishrei (varies from late September to late October). During the existence of the Jerusalem Temple, it was one of the Three Pilgrimage Festivals (Hebrew: שלוש רגלים‎, shalosh regalim) on which the Israelites were commanded to perform a pilgrimage to the Temple. The names used in the Torah are Chag HaAsif, literally...

@Alex somehow that pictures triggers a memory of some holiday dish cookies on a special stove.

Knew it!

Blech

A blech (from the Yiddish word בלעך (blekh) meaning "tin" or "sheet metal") is a metal sheet used by many observant Jews to cover stovetop burners (and for some, the cooker's knobs and dials) on Shabbat (the Jewish Sabbath), as part of the precautions taken to avoid violating the halachic prohibition against cooking on the Sabbath. == Common use == Rabbi Fishel Jacobs' The Blech Book—The Complete & Illustrated Guide To Shabbos Hotplates gives the following guidelines:- The food (including water) intended for Shabbat use should be completely cooked.

Q: Are ‘is x science fiction or fantasy’ questions on topic?

So I was wondering whether Star Wars was sci-fi or fantasy. Although I did have that question more or less answered indirectly by the answer to another question (although I can’t find it), I’d still like to know: are ‘is (series-name) SF or Fantasy’ on-topic or off?

Q: How many people in the Empire supported Emperor Palpatine?

How much support did Emperor Palpatine have from the general population? I am asking about his support before the first Death Star was destroyed, because after that people might see his Empire as vulnerable. Please provide answers from canon sources.

Q: Why didn’t Leandrin just kill Egwene and Nynaeve?

In The Great Hunt, Leandrin takes Egwene and Nynaeve through the ways into captivity, and leaves her friends (apparently) to be killed. Why go through all the trouble if the someone wanted them out of the way? Why not just kill them?

How old is Mai in Next Gen? Common Sense Media claims she is twelve years old, but I can't find that officially confirmed (and plus, the movie implies she's older.) Is there an official source to Mai's age?

Q: Who held The Anti-Monitor captive in the first place in "Crisis on Infinite Earth"?

I'm basically watching The Flash. I don't watch all the shows from DC Universe such as Arrow, Supergirl, DCs legend of tomorrow etc. I was watching The Flash S06E09 - Crisis on Infinite Earths: Part Three. Then, I came to know that it's a five-episode crossover. So, I watched Arrow S08E08 and DC...

Q: How to identify a story by its plot?

Many years ago I've read a short story that impressed me very much at the time. I'd like to find the story on the endless Web, but, alas, I recall neither the title nor the author, only the plot. To make the matters worse, this was printed in an anthology of Russian language translations of Chine...

I was reading the SCP Foundation wiki as well as TVTropes and read about the interesting story of the ED-K-Class Lethe Scenario: a scenario where a virus called scp-3848 causes people to forget basic activities and act strangely because of it. The TvTropes entry described how the virus was able t...
