Hello everyone,

Can anyone direct me to a thread here where I can ask a question about a rose I purchased from a florist? I would like to know about the quality of the flower so anyone that prepares roses as gifts would be useful.

I went to school in the early 80s and this theory was definitely well established. We had a big red poster on the wall close to me and I often stared at the (comically oversized) asteroid smashing into the earth.

Out of interest I read about the theory a bit and it was first seriously pushed in the early 50s based on geological evidence. In the 80s geologists were joined by chemists and physicists who did testing on sites around the world and confirmed the original studies.

Poor raptors.

Does anyone have any handy tips for using contact lenses?

I can get them out ok, a bit more practice and it should present no problems, but getting them in is a nightmare. I cant help flinching away and even the handling of them before I put them in is a nightmare.

Also, is it possible to get "practice" lenses? A lot of places here seem to sell novelty colored ones but I want to make sure I'm not sticking in something I should not.

Hello all.

Is anyone familiar with Padlets? I have been trying to post some stuff to one today but the the big pink "+" that lets you open an area to post to is missing.

I've tried restarting the padlet and the laptop
I've tried another laptop
I've confirmed with my tutor I have all the access I need

None of the other 20 people posting are having any issues.

Has anyone read that Alien: River of pain book?

I understand it’s part three of a series and covers the events between Alien and Aliens, it sounds interesting but not interesting enough to read all four books. Can I read it and “get the point”?

You know how your Xbox one console stops working so you watch a YouTube video on how to take the cover off to blow the dust out?

How do you get the cover to fit back on. I’ve tried swearing, swearing louder, muttering and threats of groin kicking.

Two silly questions:

If your name is Tom Smith and you have a son named Tom Smith, he would be Tom Smith junior. What if your name was Frank Smith, you named your son Tom and then years later changed your name to Tom? Would the son still be Tom junior or is their some other rule in regard to naming?

Also, why do I occasionally get can of coke that taste watery? Is there some cause such as storage or light exposure that could alter the taste? The can was still carbonated.

Does anyone have any experience with the “Smile club” tooth straightening products I keep seeing advertised?

CzarChasm posted:

I saw one of those investigative news reports on Smile Direct in Canada. They had 4 people sign up, 1 person really needed straightening, two could maybe use some work and the fourth didn't need any kind of adjustment.

All 4 went in and saw a different rep for the consultation (from a salesman, not an actual dentist mind you). All 4 were recommended the plan. They all received the aligner trays after a few weeks (I think they were fitted by some kind of professional).

IIRC, the general consensus was that for the guy who really needed the work, there was some improvement after using the product as directed, the two middling people basically saw no change and the last guy didn't use it at all. And I also believe that at no point was an actual dentist involved, except maybe for the aligner fitting.

In short, if the report was to be believed, the product didn't really work as advertised and it was faster and more effective to go see an actual dentist.

ED: Found the video, it's only a year old. Didn't rewatch, so some info might be incorrect

About Six months ago I played a VR game, I want to get it but can’t remember the name.

You start in a park at night and are told to make your way to a building in the distance. Monsters come at you from the side and you have glock like pistol to shoot them.

Another stage starts with you in a sewer, again monsters/zombies come at you from the side tunnels.

It has a resident evil sort of feel, and maybe the name is “mission” something.

Anyone know what I’m blathering about?

FAKE EDIT: Never mind, my absolutely zero interested in gaming partner put “vr monster shooting sewer” into google and found it in seconds,

Hi!

I am trying to add a document to a word file (both are word) and am doing it the normal way via "insert object". This has always worked for me before, but this time when I insert the second file only the first page of that file in being put in, there are supposed to be 5 pages.

Anyone have any clever ideas?

EDIT: Nevermind, it just magically worked the 37th time I did it.

Assuming bicycle, get a couple of u-locks like the Kryptonite heavy ones. Follow their instructions about where to lock them on your bike. I've also used a bike alarm and it worked great to keep my accessories from being removed.

Hi, yes push bike sorry should have been clearer. I’ll look at the locks you suggest. I’ve had good locks before and the last one was supposed to be a high quality one but the thief got through it in literally 5 seconds.

Is there a word for the phenomenon where people adopt accents when they sing and they tend to be associated with certain genres? Like the grunge accent, the Indie girl accent, or the Post Malone accent

My ex partner speaks with a Welsh accent.. her family is at least two generations removed, she's never been there, no one I ever met had an accent in her family and she didn't have the accent during the seven years we were together.

My cringe when I hear her talk is killing me.

I assume you mean The Witcher 3 (And not an Xbox you got in 2007).

Since then, Microsoft has released 4 new consoles:

Xbox One S/Xbox One X. Updated versions of the Xbox One. The Xbox One S is smaller than the original, and the Xbox One X is more powerful and some games can run better. These can all play the same games as your Xbox One.

Xbox Series S/Xbox Series X. This is a new console. It is backwards compatible with all games you can play on the Xbox One, excluding games that require Kinect. It can also play newer games that are marked as exclusive to Series X|S. It is also split into a less expensive but slower and a more expensive but faster version.

In addition to what everybody else has said, you'll enjoy it a lot more if you explore foods that are naturally vegetarian (lots of Indian cuisines, for example) rather than just swapping meat substitutes for the meat in your existing diet.

That’s good advice!

What the hell word am I looking for?

It means “the clues to the big reveal in a movie that you see the second time you watch it”

Like in 21 jump street: when they take the drugs one of the, says “tastes like cool ranch”, later they talk to a teacher who is eating cool ranch doretos. He is later revealed to be the master mind and had just been with the drug sellers.

The clues
The hints

I’m sure there’s a drat word.
