I doubt it could last a day without turning into a flaming wreck.

The current hierarchy for succession is:

(1) HRH The Prince of Wales (The Prince Charles; b. 1948)
(2) HRH The Duke of Cambridge (Prince William; b. 1982)
(3) HRH Prince Henry 'Harry' of Wales (b. 1984)
(4) HRH The Duke of York (The Prince Andrew; b. 1960)
(5) HRH Princess Beatrice of York (b. 1988)
(6) HRH Princess Eugenie of York (b. 1990)
(7) HRH The Earl of Wessex (The Prince Edward; b. 1964)
(8) Viscount Severn (James Mountbatten-Windsor; b. 2007)
(9) Lady Louise Mountbatten-Windsor (b. 2003)
(10) HRH The Princess Royal (The Princess Anne; b. 1950)
(11) Peter Phillips (b. 1977)
(12) Savannah Phillips (b. 2010)
(13) Isla Phillips (b. 2012)
(14) Zara Tindall (née Phillips; b. 1981)
(15) Viscount Linley (David Armstrong-Jones; b. 1961)
(16) The Hon Charles Armstrong-Jones (b. 1999)
(17) The Hon Margarita Armstrong-Jones (b. 2002)
(18) Lady Sarah Chatto (b. 1964)
(19) Samuel Chatto (b. 1996)
(20) Arthur Chatto (b. 1999)

It goes on far past this to stuff like the final person in line at like number 400 or something; Karin Vogel (born 1973) from Rostock, Germany.

Currently it's Prince William, then the royal baby (regardless of sex, I assume it has to have been born though), then Harry, then Andrew.

I took a trip to Amsterdam and smoked a joint in a coffeshop. It was also the first time I smoked anything or even tried a drug. I felt nothing, no pleasant "high" that drug users keep raving about, just a foul aftertaste in my mouth and odor clinging to my clothes. I did notice that I had no nervous meltdowns, restlessness or self-injurious behavior for at least five hours afterwards, but sometimes I have nice days like that anyway.

I have no idea why, or why it seems to happen to so many, but the general consensus is that you don't get high the first time you smoke.

You probably didn't inhale properly. Unless you're a smoker already there is sort of a technique.

This year I never got around to getting a flu shot, and sure enough I've spent this whole week getting over the flu. Is there any point to getting a shot now, to protect against other strains, or would that be completely redundant at this point?

It takes about a month for a flu shot to be fully effective and you can't get one while sick. Don't waste your money. Get one well before flu season next year, though.

I actually got it with just the information that bookmarklets can do this. I would NEVER have guessed my SA password, even though I chose it myself. Capital, lowercase, punctuation and numbers is some stringent poo poo.

Hey, I'm looking to get a small website setup. I don't know a lot of coding so hopefully something simple, but I'm looking to get an online portfolio setup that can work as a blog. I'm trying to get a job in the game industry as a level designer, so I need it to have online storage that'll accept lots of weird filetypes. Any recommendations? I was looking at Wordpress cus I heard it was really easy to get something setup, but I can't tell how much storage I get, or if it can store weird filetypes. Price isn't really a big issue, I expect to pay some cash and that's fine.

Separate what you want.

Use wordpress or blogspot for your site, store all of the files in dropbox or something and just link to them.

No problem.

The nice thing about wordpress is that there's probably already a template out there for the kind of look you want, for free or for a token fee.

Top one is Serpentine. It was popular as hell in the mid-90s.

None. This is the use case for which the word "bastard" was invented.

Why isn't it "step-child"? Goes into the sub-category of "bastard step-child" sure, but it's no different from any other step- relationship.

A step-child is a legitimate child produced in wedlock that is then brought into another legitimate relationship.

A bastard is a child produced out of wedlock.

That's never been the definition. "Bastard" and "step-child" aren't mutually exclusive, a step-child is just the child of the person you're marrried to, that isn't yours.

[edit]I mean, "bastard step-child" is a pretty common expression.

I don't know in what world you live that "bastard step child" is such a common phrase but every definition I can find of step child implies that the child was brought in from a prior marriage or relationship.

"Bastard step-child" has nearly 1.8m hits on google. There's no need to be snippy, jeez.

And a bastard is just the child of unmarried parents too, it doesn't have to be from a married person having an affair.

[edit]I decided to get a legitimate legal answer for this, and it's a pretty grey area. US courts have decided that adulterine children (from an affair) are the same as any other illegitimate children in law. They originally ruled that an adulterine child wasn't a stepchild (for immigration purposes), then in 1974 changed their mind and said it was. In Phillipines law it's a step-child. So from a legal perspective it may depend on what country you're in.

Give me 36 hours.
