Ramo Stott#Grand National Series

What do numbers 1-54 and "AUG", "RSD", "DAY 12" etc. mean in this table? Asking because I want to remake it into something like this because it's currently too wide even for a computer's screen. sapphaline (talk) 11:49, 10 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The numbers are the order of events in the series that particular season (i.e. the first race of 1967 was the Augusta 300, the second was the Motor Trend 500 and so on). The racer in question only participated in some of these races, the ones for which there is a finish number under the race name. If you hover your mouse over the various initials, the full name of the race will appear. Xuxl (talk) 15:00, 10 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Is it correct to label these cells like so, then? sapphaline (talk) 15:30, 10 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The Q Continuum on Star Trek

Why does the Q continuum on star trek have two genders? Does that mean they came from mortal animals that had evolved sex? Do they realize that?Rich (talk) 03:15, 11 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Does Q (Star Trek) really have two genders, or is that merely a conventionalization for humans to comprehend, somewhat like with the Organians? ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 04:04, 11 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

If it does, it may merely reflect a desire on the part of the writers to avoid introducing a distraction irrelevant to the actual plot of the story. If instead they had made it explicitly one, or three, people would have spent time wondering how that worked. {The poster formerly known as 87.81.230.195} ~2025-31359-08 (talk) 06:18, 11 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Best budget wireless lav mics with receiver - which can fit into mic input of zoom h1 essential recorder

I am a layman in sound dept. For my very low budget short film - I have purchased a Zoom H1 essential recorder and a Senheiser MKE 400 shotgun. I would use this combination for close-ups. But, for wider shots of actors, I want to use a combination of lav mics+receiver + zoom h1 essentiaal recorder. Kindly comment if this would be OK? If yes, can you kindly suggest any budget mic whose receiver would go in the mic input of zoom recorder. Or, do you think any other budget way would be better. Also, if I record wider shots sounds on phone via lav mic and close-up shot sounds on shotgun+Zoom recorder - How, in post, can I make these sounds from two recording devices sound Similar??
