This guy is an idiot. I don't have anything against LGBTQ people, but when it comes to medical stuff, you're biologically male or female, because it matters for the sorts of health risks you might be susceptible to.

I'm sure there's an obvious way to make a hybrid boat work like a hybrid car, but it's not jumping out at me. Cars can capture energy from braking, but boats have to accelerate in the other direction to stop, and generally aren't in stop-and-go traffic all that much.

Maybe we put sails on the boats and only run the engines when the wind isn't going the right way?

My first thought was "trumpet", so I'm on board with toot.

Graphics, as in graphical fidelity, polygon count, etc. are valueless to me.

Art style is everything. I don't care if I can see the pixels in the game, I still play the same SNES my family had 25 years ago. The game has to look good, and graphical fidelity is a tool to help achieve that, but it's only a tool, and useless without the appropriate art direction.

Yeah, but only around the time of sports matches. That makes it predictable, and the anti-hooligan magic can be more effeciently focused. It's actually a little-known fact that Quidditch matches are timed with the solstice so that the anti-hooligan wards are at their strongest.

The Irish are much more unpredictable with their drunken hooliganism, so in the early days they used to break through the wards by accident and go on drunken rampages across Wales before eventually being segregated to their own, smaller island.

No, it's very clear why people use Spotify. They use Spotify because they've heard of it and it's pre-loaded on their phones. Most people dont think at all about what the company behind the app does behind the scenes.

This is exactly why I usually say it means "Something's wrong" instead of "I want something" because the cat is perfectly capable of occupying un-pillowed laps, it just chooses not to.

I suppose in that respect, it does mean "I yearn!" but I've taken it to mean "Something's wrong!", with the nuance being that he'll want his food bowl filled even if he's not hungry or me on the couch even if he doesn't immediately want a lap.

My cat knows exactly what it wants when it yells at me. I just had to learn how to speak cat.

The meowing is just to get my attention. Once walk over to him, he'll walk over to the place he wants me to go. At that point I have to figure out what he wants me to do there, but it's usually food dish/water dish/couch for lap sitting.

c/196 has 1 rule: if you arrive, you have to post something before you leave. People have taken to putting the word "rule" in their titles to show their compliance, but it's not strictly necessary.

Close, but not quite. PC stands for paper cassette, e.g. the tray you load the paper into. You're right about it referring to the paper size, though. PC LOAD LETTER just means "Put more letter-size paper into the tray."
