Nevermind the fact that if there were that much static around it might set off a bomb. But there's so many types of explosives, they wouldn't all react anywhere near the same electrically.
Well, since it's Celsius and not Kelvin, it's not a 20% absolute increase. At thousands of degrees, the difference between Celsius and Kelvin is more of a rounding error so I didn't mention it.
To me, I would be expecting a significant fraction of an order of magnitude. Of course 1,000 degrees is a lot compared to temperatures that matter to our everyday lives.
I'd say it's more correct to call it misandry. If you were going to say there was a belief that men can't do the job satisfactorily.
The reason to embed gender is because language has had gender in it for centuries. Changing natural language with thoughtful constructs is nice, but I don't think we're at a point where we should treat it as necessary. Gender is an inherent part of many languages. English is not one of those languages, but we borrow words from many languages where this is true.
Would you have been as angry if they said stewards and stewardesses? That's just natural language as it's evolved over hundreds of years.
Many do call a female "actor" an actress. I don't see why that's necessary. Actor doesn't denote gender. Saying actress is something that might qualify as misogyny in the future, but certainly not now.
The data's probably encrypted. Of course in order to accept credit cards, a merchant needs the decryption key so this has probably leaked all over the place. An "App" is not going to have an illegal copy of the decryption key, but it's not hard to custom-program something for it.
Wal-Mart, Best Buy, grocery stores....? Plenty of brick & mortar stores with big ticket items. Most of them let you swipe the card yourself, so it doesn't even have to look very real.
Raised lettering is no longer required. Which is fine, because basically nobody has a manual imprinter these days. Which is terrible at the drive-through when the machines are down...again.
It still looks like a drawing to me. The fuzziness of some of the outlines were starting to bug me on the HDTV before the switch. It's no worse than going to see something like The Lion King in the theater.
I picked it up again from Season 20 when it went to HD. It's hit or miss, but pretty good overall. Definitely not the same show it was 20 years ago, but riffs on pop culture more often in the vein of Family Guy. And I'd still much rather watch The Simpsons than Family Guy.
Imagine if they used the voice cast for the live action version. Not a single character could even be made to look like the person they portray except maybe Phil Lamarr and Katey Sagal. But even that wouldn't be easy.
At least Disney "Special Edition"s are focused on restoring the original without any enhancement and just having some special features alongside it. You could hope that Disney brings the original edits of 7-9 onto a "Diamond Edition" Blu-ray with all of Lucas' later edits removed. Or was that a condition of purchase of the series?

0 Kelvin. The difference between Celsius and Kelvin at temperatures this high up are fairly low, so I didn't mention it.
Well, since it's Celsius and not Kelvin, it's not a 20% absolute increase. At thousands of degrees, the difference between Celsius and Kelvin is more of a rounding error so I didn't mention it.
5 to 6 degrees would be a 1/278th increase.
So you want to journey to the center of the earth? Be my guest. And watch out for pterodactyls.
The surface of the sun is practically ice-cold compared to its own core.

I may have misread, but I think this article is saying that 20% hotter is "far" hotter. Not the adjective I would use for 20%.
You can still do this with a dial-in SMS gateway, I think. Since 40404 is still an active shortcode for Twitter.
Service lasts for 15 days. Battery lasts 3 hours and is rechargeable.
The better days were when they sent it on floppy disk. A re-writable disk is much more useful than a thin coaster.
honkey, whitey, cracker, gringo...

At least they'll be well-dressed.
Wow...so no grammar sites (homophones), no dairy sites (homogenized milk is common)...of all the braindead filters.
Clearly you haven't learned in all this time how to put your hand in the center of the keyboard and type accurately one-handed.

Not at all - Dreamworks was little more than the distribution company. Aardman did all the creative work on all the Wallace & Gromit films.

Like him being a fan of Star Wars and not of Star Trek in the first place.
Especially if it has Bart PE instead of Linux.
