Yeah. Gas [pedal] is used here in the same way the "save" icon is still a floppy disk.
The thing with dark matter is it's just a placeholder term for "we don't know what the hell it is", and aren't most hypotheses pulled out of the ass before experimentation to prove them?
Plus, Dr. Kaku is a string theorist so wacky is pretty much par for the course in that field. Granted, I consider him more of a TV personality these days and grew up watching him as a speaker on [insert any number of Discovery Channel shows here].
Maybe I'm just biased and enjoy the wacky theories because I'm more interested in seeing them proven right or wrong and thinking about the implications if they happen to prove correct.
Adding a few more

And the auto-submitting TOTP entry form where you're apparently not allowed to make a typo. And obscuring the TOTP number like it's a password or state secret.
Personally, I love that layout.
I'm always at a loss for what to put up as wall decorations, and I hate rats nests of cables. Win-win!
How many other animals did they put through a sieve to reach this conclusion? How many?!

That was my nickname in college.
The only thing worse than that is emailing them a simple boolean question and then your phone rings.
I've recently learned that in Linux, you can use emois in filenames. I died a ~~little~~ lot inside when I learned that.


You can't uninstall Play services once it's installed (or if you're on a stock ROM where it's "baked in"), but you can disable it. Apps -> Set option to "show system" -> Google Play Services -> Disable
No. However, you won't be able to use most Google apps and RCS messaging and anything that relies on Google sign in or integrated Google Maps will not work.
You'll also get hammered with "Google Play Services are unavailable" notifications from SO MANY APPS. Most of those, you can go into the app's notifications and disable the alert for "Play Services Availability". The only one I can't disable on my phone is from Android Setup, but it only pops up once after a reboot.
Some apps depend on it more than others. Some will just complain that Play Services aren't available but otherwise work just the same, but others will lose some functionality depending on how they use those services. For example, my bank app still works but complains Play Services isn't enabled.
Most apps that depend on Play Services use it for notifications. So, with my bank app, I no longer receive transaction notifications. I can live without those, though, but some people may not be able to.
Yes. Most custom ROMs don't include it by default or offer builds that exclude it.
You can only install MicroG or other Play Services features before booting into the phone for the first time (e.g. with custom ROMs), but you can't just replace Play Services with MicroG.
