Re:Famous Amos Flavours in Singapore on Tuesday July 07, 2020 @08:43PM (#23765879)

I suspect the Singapore franchise is entirely different; the quality of their cookies is far higher than what you'd find in the states. They're real cookies that look like a real human baked them, served in a paper bag.

Re:Hubble takes gigantic image of the Triangulum Galaxy on Thursday January 10, 2019 @03:01AM (#18872291)

I was having trouble making sense of the figures in the article: "three million light-years", "40 billion stars"...

So I visited Scale of the Universe [1] to try to get a grip on things. Wonderful site (and music!), but I think it had the opposite of the desired effect. I am now completely numb to any notion of trailing zeros.
