He wasn't born when "The Rabbit" was invented either.
He must have been born no more than 9 months after the invention of the "Rabbit." Once they had ben invented, do you think his father would have had had anything of value for his mother?
Brewing Willowbark tea for headaches works. It's alternative medicine. It works because Willow Bark has this stuff we call "aspirin" in it. It's not medicine.
Bullshit.
Willow bark does not have aspirin in it. It does have (probably - the species name you give is not very precise, covering some dozens of recognised taxons ; you wouldn't get very far in your patent application without being more precise) salicylic acid in it (or it's salts, depending on how you process it). To convert salicylic acid into aspirin, you need to replace the acidic hydrogen on the phenolic oxygen with an acetyl group. Which is a chemical trick that needs an acetyl halide, and was not learned until 1853.
Your "willowbark tea" may help with your headache, but that might be the placebo effect, it might be some slight effect from the salicylic acid (but aspirin is a much more effective painkiller), but it's not going to be from any aspirin content.
OK, I'll add a small rider. "Unless your 'brewing' process includes refluxing your 'willowbark' with acetyl chloride." Which, to be honest, would give me a headache from the whine of the fume hood fan which I'd run. You're free to not use a fume hood, of course, but I'll be elsewhere while you're doing it. Very elsewhere.
What kind of definition allows a city to be just 2300 people? That is barely a town!:)
An archaeologist's working definition of a "city" is "a population centre of more than 5000 people". Strictly, that's only true for pre-literate societies. but we're talking about Texas here, so it still may be valid.

I've never seen a safe which wasn't also a Faraday cage. Something to do with being able to resist cutting discs, fire (to a specified degree), large hammers, and being heavy enough to need a significant crane to move it. Sort-of pretty much requires a metal construction all round.
Oh, and the OP forgot to fill the box around the secured computer with quick-setting concrete. Or Mrs Miggin's porridge, for increased security.
Adults with a lifetime history of gainful employment in the Bay Area don't live in apartments.
That's an interesting notion. I've been in my apartment for nearly 12 years
That would put you just about half way into your nominal "three-score years and ten" What are you going to do with the next 40-50-60 years of your life?
Malware like Stuxnet shows how far attackers go to breach air gaps and similar forms of isolation.
Which is why, I infer, the OP specified that an intermediate in his not-quite-isolated system be using a high security OS.
I had a similar problem some years ago at $Work$ - a Windows computer running $Work$'s special-sauce software, and a temporary work site with a rampant infestation of viruses (spread by something needed/ recommended for making Korean script legible on non-Korean Windows machines, which was sneaker-netted around, and had some virulent viruses travelling in company; personally, I suspect spyware from the company which owned the site, but [SHRUG]). So I connected my personal machine (Linux) to the network and used that to sheep-dip any floppy or thumb drive that came to me with the data that I needed. One 256MB thumb drive was dedicated to being the shuttle drive between my air-gapped system and the protected system. When I was off-shift, the accessible USB ports on the protected system had clean thumb drives installed in them, wired together with a steel tie-wrap so that you couldn't remove them without it being obvious on my return.
Absolute security is probably impossible ; raising thee bar over the head of casual/ automated attackers is much more achievable. If you've got non-casual attackers, you need some serious tools and the staff to use them.

and unspecified roles for Emilia Clarke and Thandia Newton.
Their roles are going to be as eye-candy with skimpy clothing. Token speaking parts, maybe. A bit of BDSM, for those who like such things.
It's Hollywood. You expected better?
I can't say that I'm particularly enthralled by the prospect. I'm wondering if the Star Wars franchise is going to become the first movie series where I've got a catch-up list that's into double digits.
And will it become the first such series where I'm double hexadecimal digits behind the most-recent version?
"Shelf life" includes the time from processing plant to store, as well as time on the shelf. Which at this end of the country can include a day from processor to distribution centre, another day-plus to the store's store room, where it makes it onto the shelves next day (lorries not allowed through the car park into the loading bay, while customers are on the premises ; the other store in town doesn't have that problem, but are twice as far away and considerably more expensive overall). So extending the "shelf life" from 3 days to 4 days (a figure I remember for the question of individually-wrapped heads of broccoli containing a nitrogen only atmosphere) can mean tripling the shelf life that the customer (or shelf-stacker) sees.
So you prefer energy-intensive alternatives, like burning a logo with a laser?
I used to work (for about 2 months) in a paper mill. Do you know how much energy it takes to make paper? Then to coat it to give a dense, non-wicking surface onto which ink will stick and not "bleed" along particular fibres?
I'm not wholly convinced by the benefits of using a laser over using an inkjet (we've been inkjet printing onto egg's shells for about a decade) loaded with edible ink. But you're going to have to work a lot harder than you have shown to justify a charge of "energy inefficiency".
Do you mean - shock, horror! - that it's just possible that the foods have been washed between picking and packaging?
Impossible!
(I never wash fruit or veg either, unless the wife is watching. If she's not watching, it save time and effort, and if she is watching, it saves the time and effort of an argument. Neither significantly affects food safety.)
Because the farmer grows beets, pulls them from the ground, cuts the green stuff off the top and feeds it to their sheep (or cattle), then sells the beetroot to buyers at a considerably higher per-ton price than for un-topped beets.
Other parts of the country use "beet" to refer to the uncooked food and "beetroot" for the cooked version. Witness the Alan ("Amstrad") Sugar biography. But I think that's a London usage.
You might not know the reason for the usage, but that doesn't mean that there is no reason.

This is what is known as a "phylogenetic bracket" - the same character is seen in multiple, distantly related, lineages. While it is possible that the lineages have each independently developed the same character ("convergent evolution"), as the number of organisms and the number of associated characters increases it becomes increasingly likely that the origin of the character is by common descent, not by convergent evolution.
I deduce that humans have only been sneezing for around 300,000 years (since that's the approximate age of the species), but that mammals have in general been sneezing for around 150 million years.
I guess that you sneeze in response to what you think is an allergy to cats. If it was a choice between sneezing and starving to death next year because the rats had eaten your seed, I think you'd tolerate the sneezing better.
Maybe it should have called 911 and report an obviously incapacitated driver in this case!
I don't know about your country, but here, you're not allowed to configure automated equipment to telephone the emergency services (the police, OTOH, are allowed to do that ; possibly the Coast Guard too). Call the [monitoring company] ; fire off theft alarm ; drop the speed to 10kmph less than the average of vehicles that the "road awareness" procedures have detected. That ought to be enough to get the attention of any former-driver who can respond, and will allow the police to box tha car in and bring it to a safe stop. And arrest the driver.
I bet there wouldn't be too many repeat offenders.
The point the Police were making is that a portable safe is not "safe". And pretty much anything can be opened if you have time and a safe place to work on it carefully.
Let's have a think on this. We'll use Ceres for our bowling ball ; it'll need to be in a ca.1-year orbit (even if eccentricity greater than Earth's, to get the right sort of interaction geometry). So, to move enough energy to move Earth out by a factor of SQRT(2), you'd need on the order of (efficiency*mass Ceres/ mass Earth) interactions. If they were 1% efficient, that would be around 650,000 interactions, which would take around a million years. Doable, but you could use it as a radioactive waste store while doing the manoeuvring.
You could perhaps do it quicker using a small black hole, but the tidal effects might strip some of Earth's tenuous atmosphere off in the process. That'll upset any voters left on board.
