Q: Is it okay to ask for help finding a book that you know the title of but can find no information on?

PleiadesWhile recently rereading another book that I've had since childhood, I found that it referenced a linguistic paper that I want to say was published in or around 1882 (the other book is mentioned in a news clipping). However, unlike the other outside sources this book has mentioned, I absolutely c...

Q: Sci fi book i read in the 70s

SkxawngThe only two things i can remember about the book is that it involved time or dimensional travel by the use of staring at one of those spinning tops one manually cranks. a The other being everlasting light bulbs the main char brings back from his travels. I also remember it being a darn good read.

@Adamant Why that tag is not burned yet

It’s just that there weren’t “delete” and “keep” answers until recently.
But the upvotes on the comments saying to get rid of it suggest which option is more popular (as do the votes on the question to some extent).

I swear this chatroom is 90% picture of animals.

we're trying to change the room culture
I think there is some distance between unacceptable and offensive and all animal pictures.
well, we used to be about halfway between them and apparently that wasn't good enough so now we're going all out
that and it's not really on purpose, for some reason everyone likes animal pictures
I could talk about Aliens 3 since it turns out the Assembly Cut isn't bad at all
@Ixrec Do it! I'm curious, what makes it bettr?
11:15
well I haven't seen the theatrical version so I can't directly compare them
I guess we could do a "Does it have that stupid part where X?" and I could say "nope" or "X made sense because there was a scene where Y"
Bonus floof:
apparently a lot of scenes were re-added in the Assembly Cut that didn't make the original version for some reason
My recollection of Alien 3 is low, simply because of how boring it was when I saw it.
fair point
even this version certainly wasn't Alien- or Aliens-tier
That doesn't exactly shock me. Alien and Aliens are films from two incredible good directors firing on all cylinders.
Whereas Alien 3 is a heavily compromised film from a director still looking to make a name for himself.
SQB
SQB
11:26
It should've been Alien, Aliens, Alienses.
I like it about as much as Covenant anyway
can't actually decide which more, it's sort of a tossup between Covenant being a solid semi-remake of Alien, and Aliens 3 actually trying to be different but not having as much impact in the climactic parts
If it wasn't for marketing issues, a much better name for Alien: Covenant would have been Prometheans to be fair. It fits in with the Alien/Aliens naming convention, and also speaks to the themes of the film much better than the current title does.

Which are?

Fluffy for one thing.

so why funny name?
@PaulWhite isn't that the three headed dog?
This is a floof
This is not
@Mithrandir no it's a picture of a fox
@ShadowWizard Hm yes he probably would not qualify from what I've seen.
I felt sure floofs would be explained on meta, but...
11:53
So "floof" is picture of a cute animal?
@PaulWhite I'm not active on SF&F, just a visitor here... :)
@ShadowWizard Me too, hence guesses.
@Gallifreyan Would be the one to educate us all on floofines I'm sure.
Judging by the star board.
Is this a SF&F meme? @Mithrandir @Gallifreyan
Also, you'd think there would be a Wheel of Blame bot in all chat rooms. So handy.

@Mithrandir closing as dupe
@ShadowWizard forgot there was auto-expiry, sounds good to me
@ShadowWizard Ooops.
12:08
@Gallifreyan hmm? Why?
actually someone just unpinned it
@Ixrec :)
so I guess that's moot now
Other RO can pin again. (or mod.)
Floofs are more important - we should devote the starboard to floof-related messages.
12:10
just the top line of it
floofs carry their weight as a pin because they change every day and take up so little space
That's a nice floof.

@Mithrandir Neither do I, I'll get them tomorrow
@EnigmaMaitreya I don't understand
@Edlothiad Numerous Dialogues from that movie reference "Future Me" and "Past Me", IF I made an interpretation of the statement I would say it was frivolously dismissive and perhaps rightly so, if the question (that I never read) was about some past thing that is more than a few days past.

He has seen all Jurassic Park films several times. Several times, as in​ "at least 10 times".
wow

I suspect him of rooting for the T. Rex.
which one? (in the movies with multiple)
@SQB can he distinguish the good movies from the bad ones yet?

The original T. Rex, in all movies she's in.
@zabeus I do that for him.
Jaws is on the list, but I need to rewatch myself to check for on-screen deaths.

Most deaths in Jurassic Park are surprisingly clean.
the Jaws deaths were mostly camera looking away and blood spontaneously appearing in the water

@DaaaahWhoosh yeah i checked clever girl is later in the movie
the problem with my knowledge of movies I saw as a child is that most of them were on TV, so I usually missed the beginning
same here, not sure how i missed that one

A: What will go on new post boxes when Prince Charles becomes king?

SQBRoyal Cypher The "E II R" is known as the royal cypher. In this case, it stands for Elizabeth II, Regina. The design of the royal cypher is not fixed; it doesn't have to take the form of Initial — Regnal Number — Title. They can be a bit more elaborate, such as that of King Charles II of Spain,...

@SQB Saw that one. Nice job ;)
