Unironically... Look it up

Just use multiple pages if needed?

Who needs all their words on a single huge page like some sort of scroll?

There can be stable timelines with time travel - there's actually 3 states:

  • Perpetual instability, where the timeline changes each time the time machine is used but never reaches the same state twice

  • Perpetual cyclic stability, where people's actions in modifying the timeline lead to it eventually reaching the same state, eg. you go back in time to kill someone who becomes evil and oppresses you but the near death experience leads them capture you, so you can't time travel any more, and to blame your people and start oppressing them, leading to the same actions

  • Stability without time travel, which is the default state but incredibly hard to get once time travel is invented as with nobody to stop time travel being invented it would probably get invented again, however parts of a cyclically stable timeline could have nobody having access to time travel, but any actions by time travellers to stop time travel would likely lead to the second rather than third option

That's when considering the slits as a lens though, which they will act as at any diameter however there's going to be a width at which the angle of approach and wavelength of the light are insignificant enough that you practically can't tell that the slits were even there right?

I'm only getting into semantics because you are - that statement is singular and definite, therefore it can only be taken to have one of two meanings:

A) a given straight man is selected at the start, and once he is voted out it ends.

B) it ends once the final straight man is voted out, as at that point he would be the straight man. This can never occur as he would win by being the only one remaining, so there would be no vote for him to vote himself out.

If they're all straight without a single selection at the start, then there is not a definite straight man, and even if there is one selected at the start there's only a 1/12 chance he gets voted out first.

Elf employment isn't cheap since they passed all those workers rights laws... Gotta get funding somehow and mall appearance fees only go so far

A whole host of problemo

I read (this morning) that there's a theory that hiccups are a reflex to pump air across one's gills, and are more common in foetuses & premature babies as their lungs aren't fully developed...

So I guess if that is the case (as it's a theory) then yes, just not in humans - they're remnants of over 300 million years ago

We (in much of Europe at least) rely on train lines and sewers laid out over 100 years ago and we refer to plans made then, so I think there's a high chance there's software around in 100 years which still works so never gets replaced (or gets upgraded but is the same at the core, I bet windows still has task manager barely modified)

Funding one of the biggest terrorist organisations of the 20th century doesn't sound like a very good thing to do... Same goes for all the other Americans who gave them money without realising they were (are) pretty much universally hated across all Ireland - much like how most Muslims hate IS

And yet while anger is directed at the 1%, the party in government get all their money from them so they raise taxes and make efforts to disperse the wealth of the 9% between the two as they neither fund the government nor are a big enough voting bloc for them to care - many of the 90% consider them the same anyway as when you have no disposable income or worse then having some disposable income may as well be having more money than you know what to do with, so taxing the 9% gets the vote of much of the 90%

I think you're near enough alone... Python is up there with the best ways to call other people's code, due to the support for types beyond string...
