Is there some connection to the nation?
Secondarily, should the fan be outside or inside the window?...
There is literally 0 chance the area I live in will be blue. Does me going out and voting actually do anything besides add to the popular vote tally?
I don’t get it. What does my mom’s sexuality have to do with me? Also, why is sleeping with someone that’s ~25 years older something to brag about?
Maybe we should just start nuking the most densely packed cities/countries. Sorry NYC, Tokyo, and basically all of India....
Forgot to mention, apps that at least has a good following and matches in Europe.
As stupid as it says on the tin. Can you remove hair clogs with Nair?...
Wouldn’t it cut down on search queries (and thus save resources) if I could search for “this is my phrase” rather than rawdogging it as an unbound series of words, each of which seems to be pulling up results unconnected to the other words in the phrase?...

It’s reading past the fill line slightly. How bad is it? Do I need to pour some out? What am I risking? What symptoms should I be looking for?
No, not talking about their own shit or vomit, har de har. I mean how dogs can’t have chocolate, can’t eat grapes. Are there things it’s no big deal for them but would be toxic for us.
There’s this woman I work with who seems to have her accent change randomly....
How does a tree (or any plant, really), know to evolve to produce a delicious fruit or a poison berry, a seed inside an impenetrable shell, or invent a type of flying machine, in order to reproduce? (Each of these examples exists in my backyard)...

In the US for example the standard is 110V for voltage and 80psi for water. In Europe, voltage is 220V, is water pressure different there too?
The first programs were written in binary/hexadecimal, and only later did we invent coding languages to convert between human readable code and binary machine code....
