Interesting. Always thought chewing gum was more like when you made "plastic" out of the caesin in milk.

Might be because the ATM doesn't belong to the bank, so it charges non-partner bank fees, as opposed to the card itself charging people to look at the balance?

Nah, they're fine. They'll just pivot into being real news.

Very confused about what the point of this would be. People don't use their cars enough to justify having something like that installed, and it seems like it would just make things more expensive for xAI for not much benefit at all.

Would he not be considered an illegal alien? It's not like he was sent to the US under standard procedures. He was basically dumped at a US homestead.

Doesn't the Congress and Election College have final say? The rest of it could be a sham, but what they say goes.

I see. What would have been a better fit in that case?

Although I wonder how long these signs would be that effective for, since they seem really model-specific.

I think so? The metal clicky lighters you used to see in James Bond films and the like.

A worm isn't a plant, though. At least, not unless biology has changed considerably since I was last in school.

Is the only place to buy those posh lighters only at smokos or the internet?

Was thinking of getting one as a gift, but since I don't smoke, no idea where the proper place to get one is.

More or less. It varies a bit, but it extends a tiny bit along the shoulders and down the spine.

The brown fat is basically a metabolic heater, so indulating it will help warm things up.

 

Why is there a mother-daughter thing in the first place?

 

Voyager takes after the Apollo app in this regard, where if the app is closed while text is being edited, it'll bring back the unsaved draft, but it'll pop that into the next reply window you open, even if it is a different thread entirely.

Being able to reopen the same thread and resume editing would make it much easier if you're switching to another app to look up a reference or a link, and Voyager gets destroyed by the OS. It'd also help refresh your context if you can't remember what it was you were writing and why.

 

While kbin.social's site mentioned that they were migrating to a new provider, and as a result, the site might be experiencing some issues, kbin.social has been serving up a similar HTTP 50x errors, and that migration message for well over a month, if not more.

What happened?

 

While ordering a crew cut is easy, since it's on the menu, what about other kinds?

Can you just go "I'd like a men/women's haircut" and leave it at that, or do you need something more specific, like saying you want a Charlestone done by a No. 3 to the sides, and a 4 up top?

 

In our world, the police going to a spirit medium for the DL-6 case, and being ridiculed might be logical, since spirit channelling isn't a real thing, but in the world of Ace Attorney, it is.

Not only is it a known and established practice, with detectable physical effects, but the monarchy of at least one country is specifically sought out for their spirit-channelling powers by other governments, so that they can commune with the dead, and receive advice that way.

However, it also seems to be disbelieved, and ridiculed as a pseudoscience, despite that.

 

I've been using "mechanoid" as a classification (similar to humanoid, etc), but a friend pointed out that it's both too generic, and that said inorganics might just consider it biology, with organics being the weird outlier.

 

You wouldn't start off an e-mail with "My Dear X", or "Dearest X", since that would be too personal for a professional email, so "To X" being more impersonal seems like it would make the letter more professional-sounding, compared to "Dear X".

 

Doctor Who zips all the way up and down through time, popping in at any time and place. If you don't have a time machine to follow them around with, it should be impossible to keep track of which incarnation was where. And yet, the Doctor's enemies somehow manage to do just that, with the Daleks being accurate enough to determine he was on his last regeneration on Trenzalore.

 

One of the options for students enrolling into Hogwarts, if they come from a wizarding family, is that they have the option of using a hand-me-down wand. But short of wands being damaged beyond repair, we don't see many people replacing them, even though it happens enough that hand-me-downs are a valid option for new students.

So how long does one last? Does a wizard normally use one wand in their lifetime, or is it the kind of thing where an old, worn-out wand is fine for schoolwork, but you'd need something newer/better for adult life?

 

What caused the shift from calling things like rheostats and condensers to resistors and capacitors, or the move from cycles to Hertz?

It seemed to just pop up out of nowhere, seeing as the previous terms seemed fine, and are in use for some things today (like rheostat brakes, or condenser microphones).

 

You often see people in fitness mention going through a cut/bulk cycle, or mention one, with plans to follow up with the other. Why is it that cutting and bulking so often happen in cycles, rather than said person just doing both at once, until they hit their desired weight?

 

While we hear of the TARDIS having engines that are implicitly essential to it working, we've also see a TARDIS work without the rest of the machine.

"The Doctor's Wife" and "Inferno" show that a TARDIS is capable of operating as just the console, which would seem to imply that they're just a power source to allow the console to do its thing and move the whole ship around, or to allow for the pilot to do silly things like tow an entire planet one second out of phase.
