I love how the top 4 comments in this pretty active post represent a substantially different approaches to the question.
In the first second or two, some kind of hydraulic ram is moving (vertically, near the top of the picture), and then it pops off, and some kind of fluid is pouring out and goes on fire (likely hydraulic oil, but it goes on a long time, so maybe not).
A lot of old hard rock and metal with power chords is easy to play a simplified version of. I think Metallica - 'For whom the bell tolls' and 'Enter Sandman' were probably the first things I learnt. You can learn enough to have fun playing a riff like that even if you struggle to get your hand into position to do proper 6-string chords.
I feel like my comment in another thread is even more relevant here:
I have no direct knowledge about that, but if we take the analogy of the egg (shell, albumen and yolk sack) being the life-support system of the embryo during gestation, in humans the placenta would be a big part of that, and exactly whose body it is part of its not simple (from what I remember both mother and child contribute cells, and the 'plan' for building it comes from the father's genes). So maybe for chickens it could be ambiguous whether the shell 'belongs' to the laying generation or the hatching one. Seems like mostly a human taxonomy distinction to make anyway, obviously it's in between the two, but we like to draw the line somewhere.
I came across effect/affect swapping in university level textbook the other day, couldn't believe it.
2008 and the start of austerity was now close to 16 years ago. It went out of fashion everywhere else but we bloody stuck with it 💪🇬🇧
I've never seen it myself, but my wife spent most of her childhood/teenage years in Shetland, and apparently up there, back then, Smirnoff ice was the drink of choice for hard working middle aged men. We're talking about a bunch of islands where the main employment is offshore fishing and the oil & gas industry, and where they're very proud of their Viking heritage. (Image search Jarl squad to see what I mean, those guys who are picked for the squad will grow their beards all year to look the part)
This is a miscommunication, you two are not really in disagreement as far as I can see. If someone {presents as an effeminate man} AND {they say they're non-binary} => {they are non-binary}. However if someone {presents as an effeminate man} AND does NOT {say they're non-binary}...... Then it's not sufficient.
For this one there's actually technology in development right now.
I wouldn't say I'm entrenched, I'm happy to learn new ways of doing things as and when appropriate.
On the other hand, although I would like to migrate to Linux, it's not one of my top priorities, and it sounds like the drawbacks in compatibility when submitting documents into university systems and working on group projects would outweigh the benefits for now, for me.
But I look forward to working towards never learning what windows 11 is like!

It's very common to use km^2 (or m^2 or whatever) as a unit of area, with the understanding that a square with x km sides has area x^2 km^2. I can see what you're saying, but I think most people would call that area 'over 145 000 square km' or something, rather than talk about the side length.
