          "Mildly" Interesting, indeed.

          The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

                @George-K said in Mildly interesting:

                The average cat’s reaction time is approximately 20-70 milliseconds, which is faster than the average snake’s reaction time, 44-70 milliseconds.

                As opposed to the average middle aged white guy’s reaction time, which is 5-7 seconds.

                  @George-K

                  So a cat and a snake each at their slowest reaction time would be pretty much an even match, yeah?

                  Kinda like watching televised bowling.

                          I was active in theater in my yoot. The thing is, it isn't the same. It's always different because little things happen Monday that don't happen Tuesday. The audience applauds a line on Monday and on Tuesday, the same line lies dead. Actors forget lines and their colleagues have to adlib them back. Singing is spectacular one night and dullsville the next.

                          Never the same.

                          And the closing applause never gets old.

                            It's hard to imagine that playing music every day could ever be as enjoyable as what I've been doing for the past 34 years.

                                      On a cloudless day, my solar panels generate energy at maximum capacity for about three hours. I guess that means that certain small angles of the sun are without consequence, while larger angles decrease productivity along what looks like a normal distribution, but probably isn't.

                                        Pretty much any freshly cut meat will do that - sodium channels....

                                        Chinese meat inspector Lv Suwen explained the phenomenon like this in a 2015 article: “The central nervous system is dead but the nerve-endings in the muscles are still firing resulting in the jumping, because the nerves are not yet dead. This will stop after a short time.”

                                        While this ribeye reanimation may seem revolting, it’s actually an indicator of high-quality meat. “You can rest assured, this piece of meat is very fresh and is from a freshly slaughtered animal,” Suwen declared.

                                        Nonetheless, viewers were revolted by the spectacle with one aghast gawker calling the dancing beef “the least appetizing thing I’ve ever seen.”

                                        "Now look here, you Baltic gas passer... " - Mik, 6/14/08

                                        The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.
