Theoretically, something, but work has put me in a position where I have extremely little not only to do, but that I can do within my mandate. I’m fulfilling my one obligation, but it involves a rather lengthy wait.

I wish you could have heard it directly from him! He’s a much more talented storyteller than I. Regardless, it’s great that you enjoyed it!

I usually just take the minimum offered. I don’t mind a bit of spice but it’s never been the reason I enjoyed a dish.

This story is secondhand.

My brother’s first wife was Indian. As a result, he experienced many cuisines he wouldn’t have locally in the US. Apparently, she once took him to an Indian restaurant which offered a variety of spiciness levels; he, having been exposed to Indian cooking in the past, thought he could handle it. As such, he ordered the spiciest level of whatever he was eating.

The owner of the restaurant apparently came out and tried to talk him out of it, but he insisted. They prepared the food as requested and he ate it. At the end of the meal, his eyes and nose were running. Per his telling, the owner came out after he had finished it to ask how he had liked the meal. He said that he liked it but that it had topped out his spice tolerance.

According to him, the owner then responded “I thought so. That’s why I only gave you medium spice.”

I remember reading that polar bears are invisible to IR, which initially interested those interested in stealth; however, apparently the relevant parties lost interest once they found out that the invisibility was only within those wavelengths.

A very short while later, possibly even the same night, I watched Hulk Vs. In that, a polar bear is distinctly shown as visible on an IR camera. I thought it quite the oversight.

The Death Battle I know of is a YouTube channel wherein two hosts provide statistics about two characters from all sorts of franchises (some including anime; for example, an early one pitted Goku against Superman), then show an animation of how they postulate a fight between the two of them would go, then defend their assessment at the end.

The two hosts do kind of present in an anime fashion. I’m not sure how they make their animations, but they’re generally unique visual styles per episode, so depending which episode you see you might think different things about their genre.

I don’t know anything about the subreddit.

That’s how we get mutants.

edit: Link.

Same thing, really.

If only.

I didn’t have FSD, but this is pretty much what cruise control / lane assist did.

Learning this from XKCD was worth it both because it’s an interesting concept and because it indirectly lead me to the Bobiverse.

“Smart” in this context wasn’t as much of a thing back then, but The Transporter had a similar option.

Who wrote this ridiculous, nonfunctional, unreadable spaghetti code?

Oh, I did?

… It’s not so bad.

I prefer physical media, but I appreciate the utility of ereaders. I, too, would prefer buttons if I used an ereader with any frequency; I still lament the disappearance of them from my phone!

However, in case this is a problem you really need fixed: my wife is an avid ereader user. She didn’t like the page turning for many of the reasons you listed, so she bought a ring that has Bluetooth and a singular button. The ring connects to your reader, then when you press the button, simulates a click or screen tap. You get the page turning experience it sounds like you want and, after setup, the only thing you need to physically exert at all is your thumb.

edit: Fixed an embarrassing number of typos.

The stomping thing also happened in the first X-Men movie (and was done by Sabertooth there).

The regrowing from a single cell thing also happened from a Wolverine centric novel. I think it was called Weapon X.

So what engine do they use?

For several reasons, I wouldn’t know.

Waydot also does this (as well as other, related content).

I’m in north east US. I’m pretty certain both coyotes and foxes are around here. It seems likely that this was a fox, though. Thanks for the answer!
