Regarding item 7, Batman Returns had Christopher Walken’s character illegally dumping toxic waste, so yeah, there’s at least one known case.

Can’t speak for OP, but I took a maybe ten-year hiatus from Minecraft and came back to find the were so baby more block types that it clogged my inventory and I felt overwhelmed and just stopped playing again.

My home value hasn’t started falling yet, according to Zillow, but the appreciation seems to have leveled off.

Florida voter here. We have closed primaries and I have a registered party affiliation. I don’t receive any political texts, mostly Imagejust fake USPS scams.

Anytime I want to use public WiFi that’s behind a captive portal that requires an email, I give them “bezos@amazon.com”

Air Tags have a battery and have short-range low-energy communication with phones. What makes them work out-of-range of your phone is that their signal can be picked up by any phone that participates in Apple’s tracking network. Say your luggage has an Air Tag in it, and it ended up flying to a different city than you. Your phone obviously can’t find the Air Tag because it’s out of range, but someone in that other city is bound to have an iPhone. Their phone sees the signal from your Air Tag and reports that location back to Apple’s servers. Apple updates the last known location of that tag. You check your phone to see where your luggage is and your phone requests that info from Apple’s servers. Apple sends your phone that data, and now you can see your luggage ended up in Timbuktu while you’re in Seattle or wherever.

I just meant you’d have access to them. Didn’t mean to imply they were all good. I mean, I owned Shadows of the Empire on N64.

Neat!

This doesn’t make sense to me. The iris doesn’t collect light for vision. The pupil expands or contracts to vary the amount of light that reaches the retina. Iris color should have nothing to do with it.
- Comment on Redirect to prevent back button 3 months ago:
Yeah, I also hate back-button hijacking. I suspect some websites do it to artificially force more page views for ad revenue. Try a long-press on the back button to view the history for that browser tab and click on the most recent page you think won’t redirect.

Take it to your local recycling center, if they have the means to collect it.

On the optimistic side, helium is a product of nuclear fusion, so we will eventually be able to produce it.

Probably true.
- Comment on Always happens 7 months ago:
It’s because as the hot air rises, cool air comes in from all sides of the fire. Your body blocks that air from one side, so the prevailing current of cool air feeding the fire is biased towards you and it carries the smoke with it.

Non-ferrous metals are still subjected to forces in the presence of changing magnetic fields through a combination of Lenz’s Law and the Lorentz Force.
It’s why when you drop a magnet through a copper pipe it falls slower than it would in open air.
