Hi. What is the typical current allowance you would give to a 10 year old these days ?

Money is only valuable if you can effectively manage it and use it for your own, your loved ones', friends', and even strangers' advantage. In other words, you shouldn't love money and utilise others; money should be a tool. Naturally, if I were caring for a family, I wouldn't mind working to earn money to assist my spouse in providing for our children. But the crucial point to remember is the stark contrast between the need for only the necessities and yearning for trivial pleasures. Sometime, shortage of money lead problems in your family. There are some ways are available to fix this. You can get upto 300 to from your nearest lenders, and also from some app a…

Anyone remember Compton Mackenzie's Whisky Galore ? Here is an update. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-62990366

Greetings What makes the shaving products work ? Its application on skin, some action on the facial hair, lubrication? something to do with the sharpness of blades, slipperyness, edges grabbing onto hair, some displacement or not of hair piling on blades ? Seems an optimal thing developed trough years; trying soap, just water, dry, others, is not as successful. Can you explain ?

BALMORAL, Scotland, Sept 8 (Reuters) - Queen Elizabeth, Britain's longest-reigning monarch, the nation's figurehead and a towering presence on the world stage for seven decades, died peacefully at her home in Scotland on Thursday aged 96. "The death of my beloved Mother, Her Majesty The Queen, is a moment of the greatest sadness for me and all members of my family," the new king, her eldest son Charles, said. "We mourn profoundly the passing of a cherished Sovereign and a much-loved mother. I know her loss will be deeply felt throughout the country, the Realms and the Commonwealth, and by countless people around the world," the 73-year-old said in a statement. …

Thought I'd post these up. Pretty cool the images it can create for you. Tried to push it to see something that it couldn't have existing images of to see what it could come up with(Modern day Atlantis, Alien, Futuristic, Most Popular X in Year 3000). In some case it would incorporate an interpretation of the text prompt too. ie. Futuristic Bible, Alien School, Alien Religious Service which thought was interesting too.

Have anyone ever tried using this freeware? Is it reliable and reputable? Sorry, OpenOffice and LibreOffice often crash for no reason and it is so annoying that's why I am avoiding them. However, I have never heard about FreeOffice before. I find that they are likely created by German because their official site has some German text. What do you think? Is it reliable to use?

Greetings. Half a dozen in my house, and other places I maintain with several more also of the not-vintage types. Have replaced them, cleaned them, repaired capacitors, switches, wiring in them but never saw an obvious lubricating points above or below them nor seen owners manuals guidance to oil them. Do they need some dismantling in order to lubricate or there is a clever access to the proper point; or simply is a chinese discard-and-buy-new as if few drops of oil and little effort is too much to ask ?

I posted this in Other Sciences, but this will probably get more attention in the Lounge. Anyone familiar with very large numbers and very small things? My questions was: suppose you could fill a volume the size of the observable universe (less than 100 billion light-years in diameter) with a tiny sand that is so tiny that each sand grain is one Planck Length in diameter. Could you fill that volume with Graham's number of Planck-sized sand? My guess is yes you could fill the observable universe with Planck-sized sand. You could probably fill a volume you cannot even comprehend how large with Graham's number of Planck-sized sand. This is what I found in Wikipedi…

Creature's Table is the project that has the elements of the periodic table made to incredible creatures. Hope that you enjoy! More compounds are on the way!

I was listening to a podcast and the hosts, who are magazine editors, mentioned a headline they had a disagreement over. The article was about poets laureates being removed from their post and the headline was "unacknowledged legislators impeached." When one of the hosts mentioned the headline, someone went ah, in a "that was clever" way, but I'm apparently not, because I don't get it. Where's the cleverness?

Okay, I'll treat the physics community like a human being. The only reason why I get on your nerve is because I don't like what you're researching. We are (the Earth) are trying to get back on track for the race to interstellar space exploration. We literally need any hint we can find to get quantum gravity. If that means we have to lovingly remind the physics community that they need to be aligned with us on this goal, then by gosh, we will poke every nerve they have <that's a joke>. You have no idea how often jokes are used to ease tensions between the many races and planets. If you can't take a joke, you are encouraged to learn. There are more jokes in the…

Hi. My brother is paranoid because just found that the central air conditioning equipment at his home installed 30 years ago has always had a 3 ton exterior unit and a 2 ton interior. What should the behavior of such mismatch ? Am not an expert in the field to answer without 'maybes' and 'sometimes' Anyone around knows ? Question 2: What behavior should be expected if some technician fed refrigerant R410 in equipment that calls for R22 ? Anyone knows ?

https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/nichelle-nichols-dead-star-trek-lieutenant-uhura-1235189880/ An interesting obit. I didn't know about her recruiting stint with NASA. Or that MLK was a Trekkie. And talked her into staying on the series when she was planning to leave Knew that she and Shatner broke the interracial kiss barrier on American tv, which required malign telekinetic beings to achieve but hey it was a start. May her hailing frequencies always be open.

Hello. I buy some ground meat. Add some salt and pepper, sometimes chopped onions, form the patties. Everything falls apart on the frying pan. More when flipping. If it was a barbecue grill, it would all fall in pieces into the gaps. What is the trick to keep it in one piece ? 😟

Have you ever had a situation where you find yourself trying to explain that some words in the English language are spelt the same but mean totally different things depending on the context. For example the word - wind This can mean a feature of the weather, e.g. air movement. Or to rotate something, e.g. a reel of hose. My question is, would it not make more sense to either change the spelling slightly, or create a new word? What are your experiences and opinions on the subject and also please offer other examples!

😃If I can't get charity from this site, can I get support from publisher? Is nyone here working on publishing company? I would like to publish my idea. If anyone could help me I will start a new topic right away 😃 Hi everyone...

It seemed like during the 2000s American society was either encouraged to be overly obsessed with exercise, muscle cars, and the NFL or owning a rich mansion and being like a Kardashian. Why can't these men be both strong and smart? Like the astronauts? What was to blame for this? Hollywood? Has there been a pushback against this? It seems like there is no more stigma against fantasy themed TV shows with the massive success of "Game of Thrones". Would society be a better place if "meatheads" aspired to be more like astronauts?

Yes, a dumb question, but I am just listening to a baby crying across the village and I cannot remember if I ever heard any baby animal crying that loud... Strange. Are baby gorillas equally loud when crying? As far as I can remember, baby chicken can get very loud - possibly only quieter than human babies due to smaller body size. Are ostrich babies particularly loud?

This is almost mesmerising, the superconductor runs around the mobius strip almost if by magic!

Please bare in mind, whatever follows is not based on facts and it is all just some idea I thought of while reading some experiment. I am no scientist or have any degree in general science. Only computer science. Anyway here goes. So today I was busy reading this article that explained how you could simulate time travel by using a string and 3 people to simulate the pull effect of matter and how it will influence observers attached to that string. (you can google for the article "Step by Step Instructions for How to Build a Time Machine in Your Office in 30 Seconds"). Now, this made me think... If you could create a bubble of entangled particles around you…

Hi, under assumption; we ensured an association to publish our some articles by our request. then that association published those articles. assume please those publications include minor quotations. (E.g. descriptions or descriptive explanations ,I am also not sure whether really those publications include any quotations). However as the mentioned articles are created by memory (written by learning by heart) there is no research at the background in any of mentioned published articles. in this case will these published materials cause any copyright problems? and how to be sure on the issue with deep breath or how to resolve the case? Than…

I was looking through the car windscreen today as the rain came down (parked with the wipers off) Through the windscreen I was looking at a roughly painted white wall (a rendered finish which appeared as a collection of small pebbles-I think it may be called "pebbledash,actually) Anyway the visual effect was that ,as the rainwater ran down the 45° angled windscreen the "pebbles" seemed to move up the wall in an odd kind of opposing direction. Anyone noticed this ,or similar before?

For the first time in a long time I finally felt the breath of fresh air of truely wanting to learn. I felt it during my internship learning about deep learning and AI this summer. It feels so good that I never wanna go back to not wanting to learn. What advice can yall given to help me stop going back?

How did you all formulate your usernames? My username is LazyLemonLucas. One, I'm not lazy I just had to put it in there to make it an alitteration. Two, I'm not a lemon, again, I just had to put it in there to make an altteration. Three, my real name isn't Lucas either. It was actually one of my old buddies who I met in school and I just thought that it would be cool to have my username as his namesake. Lazy. Lemon. Lucas. Triple L.
