I think, since future Bill and Ted appear to the earlier Bill and Ted, and Rufus directly assists in creating his future, I think we have to assume that all of those historical figures always experienced those things, and then returned to their timelines with knowledge of the future. Napoleon rode the waterloops before Waterloo. Socrates played catch with Billy the Kid. Those are historical events, as much as Rufus and Future Bill and Ted helping present Bill and Ted pass their classes.

OP might have massive hands.

This is always my concern. Actually frying something takes minutes, but heating, cooling, straining, and storing significant volumes of oil just doesn’t justify the convenience. If I want fried food, I’m going to a restaurant.

With one linear timeline, you basically have Back to the Future rules. You can go back and change things, even if it rewrites you out of existence. Of course, there are some logical paradoxes that arise from that theory of time, so most versions rely on some delayed repair mechanism, like how the photo of Marty slowly disappears, or how The Ancient One explains the Time Stone to Professor Hulk. Time Cop, Butterfly Effect, and Looper do the same, with changes going into immediate effect like old injuries becoming later scars in real time, but erasing yourself really ought to be devastating to spacetime itself. I liked the concept in Butterfly Effect where the time traveler experiences all the memories of their new life in the altered timeline with every new change, but then they abandon the hard sci-fi aspect to get cute with stigmata. Donnie Darko probably handles it the best, where time travel itself creates a universe-ending paradox that requires the destruction of the time traveler.

Essentially, you jump from now back to another location in spacetime where you didn’t exist the first time around. If you overlap with yourself, you’re either going to gain a new retroactive memory, or there’s some magical maguffin that erased the memory (like the Tardis does for the Doctor), or some universal force reconciles the timestream and eliminates the paradox.

It depends on how you imagine time travel and causality. Is it a stable time loop? Or do you visit another version of reality with different outcomes? When you travel, are you unraveling the course of history to be redone? Or are you visiting an unyielding etching of the timespace continuum? If time is a set of dimensions, as all modern physics supports, then theoretically it wouls be possible to move through those dimensions in all directions. Special relativity confirms that movement affects how you move through time, but if you go backwards in time, you are still moving forward from your own reference point. That’s the only way to retain your memories.

Ok, but do you actually think that every bicycle rider should be licensed, inspected, and insured?

Oh I see. And that’s a fair observation. Especially online, it’s become edgy and cool to take the side of a CEO assassin, while it’s still touchy to vocally defend the Castro regime. But you will find people, notably Cubans who fled to America, who were directly affected by Castro and the Cuban government. I don’t know any health insurance CEOs, so that might be a factor in the discourse you hear.

But again, it’s not like these are the same people. Support for the Cuban government isn’t a cause celebre because Fidel Castro has been dead for almost a decade, and few Americans could even tell you who the current President is. Luigi is a source of engagement, the currency of social media. Some Americans only recently learned about Venezuela because we’re about to invade their country.

Support them? Like how, with money? Votes? Attending rallies? Because no, I don’t actively support any of those countries. I do think each country has the sovereign right of self-determination, and I oppose my country’s efforts to overthrow or undermine those governments.

I also oppose authoritarian dictatorships like the DPRK and the Trump administration.

As far as Luigi is concerned, I do not condone murder, but I also don’t think he’s guilty of murder. I think the oligarchy needed to find the killer, even if they didn’t find the actual killer, and planted all the evidence against Luigi.

I’m a Western leftist, and neither of these positions represent me. I do know people who are represented by one or the other, but I don’t know anyone who is both. Are you sure you’re not just conflating the loudest voices as being from the same people?

Based on what? Twitter? Polling? And what do you mean “support Luigi”? Because while I don’t condone murder, I am not convinced he murdered anyone. I think the oligarchy is trying to make an example of him and unintentionally made him a martyr.

I’m not sure why you’d assume that these are the same person.

If that were true, they would be on every jug of milk, and they would all be the same size. I have a gallon jug in my fridge right now that doesn’t have a dimple, but does have a circle where it should be.

With plastic blown molds, especially when you make millions of them, there are going to be slight variations in the sizes. If the jug is too big, they use the dimple to reduce the volume of milk you can fit inside. The bigger the jug, the deeper the dimple. If you look at many jugs at the store, they will all be roughly the same diameter but different depths. Some don’t have any dimple at all.

That’s fair. You can believe what you want. But that doesn’t make it less true.

If the jug holds slightly more than a gallon, if you squeeze the sides, it holds less.

Fresh milk that’s been pasteurized and refrigerated should last at least three weeks.

Or they check the volume before they are filled. Air pressure or water could be used to check the capacity.

It’s added after molding the jugs and the volume is checked, but before the milk is filled.

The labels go on the flat sides, and the dimples would get in the way. The bottoms of the jugs are usually a thicker plastic, but I can’t say for sure that this is why they don’t put the dimple there.

It’s a US thing. A gallon of milk will last my family about two weeks, or less if the kids are into baking or breakfast cereal that week. I sometimes put a little milk in my coffee or tea, and I occasionally use some for making sauces or marinades. Very rarely will we throw away milk because it has spoiled, but it has happened. Maybe once a year or so, usually because of a power outage or having to travel unexpectedly.

We also have half-gallon plastic jugs which feature the same dent sometimes. When I was a kid, I remember we even had tiny pint-sized jugs for half and half, but I think that was more of a novelty.
