I mean, I did specify “in the real world” and that we were taking about ST, but sure, I guess it applies to SW, too.
PERC
Perchloroethylene (aka tetrachloroethene) is a completely non-polar compound, so, yes, it is a dry liquid.
I would tend to disagree with the Cambridge example, because liquids can be dry. “Dry” liquids are anhydrous, meaning they’ve been treated to remove any water.
Source: Am chemist and I teach O-Chem, which frequently uses dry solvents, like anhydrous acetone.
I don’t know about in Trek lore, but I think in the real world, when a ship is designed or used to travel from one star system to another, it’s classified as a starship
It gets used as the in-house chat client at my place of employment. I work in a rural area in an old building so cell service is spotty at best, so it’s handy to be able to shoot a chat to anyone instead of an email or walking over to their office.
I go with music on vinyl because there’s nothing to sit to watch and the the inability to skip a song or change bands from my phone means I’m much more likely to get at least 1 side of 1 album of work done before I get distracted.

FTFY. A pallet is a small bed or an object used for carrying things, a palate is part of the mouth or one’s ability to taste things. Pretty pedantic, I know, but I have this compulsion to correct misused homophones, so… Sorry? You’re welcome? Either way, have a great day!
Well, it was completed in 1941 while the US was still strongly isolationist. We didn’t enter WW2 until after the attack on Pearl Harbor, which was December 7th.
So yeah, there was a world war going on, but the statue was planned and completed while it was largely “business as usual” in the US.
Profession can absolutely affect volume. Even without any hearing damage, any job that regularly requires that you project can become a habit.
I’m a chemistry professor at a community college, fairly well educated, and I flatter myself to say reasonably intelligent, but I still slip into what my wife calls my “teaching voice” in some social settings or even occasionally at home.
This isn’t exactly the same because the Arlington incident actually happened and has some bearing on an ongoing political campaign as opposed to being pure speculation and misinformation.
Plus, admitting that God cannot create light without dark or good without evil means admitting God is not omnipotent.
I misread the headline as “the right to discontent,” which I think is also a good idea to codify, given the way people who speak out are often punished for legitimate complaints
Check the link OP posted; it looks like there’s nearly 400 comics
It doesn’t mean the campaigning will be shorter, just that everything will further turn into attack ads on incumbents
I have done this before when I needed to make one adjustment to a preexisting spreadsheet. If I don’t have my laptop and someone tells me about a change to a project, sometimes I’ll just make a note in my phone, but if it’s a quick fix, sometimes I’ll pull up the spreadsheet and fix it right away to avoid forgetting.
But that’s far and away the exception
As for running, it is indeed quite hard on everything. I generally prefer biking, which I find a lot more fun and less straining on the body.
Until you crash, and then it takes you forever to heal as you get older. Swimming is good, but if you’ve spent your whole life in the water like I have, you wind up with burnt out rotator cuffs, etc.
Basically, any repetitive exercise will destroy you over time. Best to mix it up as much as possible
Me too. I was really wondering what sort of interview this was.
Not, you’re thinking of Deadshot. A deadlock is a Scottish body of water that has been polluted to the point that no life exists in the lake.
