If Queen Elizabeth II is married to Prince Philip, why is he just a prince and not a king? Shouldn't someone married to a queen be a king?

dupersaurus posted:King Consort as a concept isn't really a thing (like there is for Queen Consort), so if Philip was titled king that would be implying he's above or equal to the rightful monarch, which wasn't going to happen. I never thought about it being that he'd be "above" the queen. I just figured, hey, you marry a queen, you're now a king. Shut up Meg posted:He's a prince cause the little lady indoors says he is: I had no idea he was a prince before all that, either. Thanks for the quick answers. It was something that came up when my mother and I were eating lunch today.

Another thread mentioned that, technically, Boris Johnson could run for President of the United States (except he renounced his citizenship), so I was wondering, if someone was elected to two positions like that, how would that work? And I'm only using Johnson in the example since that's what made me think of this question.

Thanks for the answers, but now I'm wondering, how would that affect trade and stuff? Or would it not necessarily have a giant impact?

In an episode of NCIS, and probably a few other cop shows, the main character shoots a hostage taker, by shooting the guy through the hostage he had (the hostage gave a little consenting nod), and I'm wondering, what kind of legal trouble does that lead to for the shooter? Would the shooter be on the hook for an assault charge?

What does it actually mean to get a key to the city? I'm watching the Mr. Plow episode of the Simpsons, and Homer just got the key to the city.

dupersaurus posted:Thunderstorms require a lot of vertical motion in the atmosphere, which is usually tough to come by in cold-weather storms. Roughly speaking, thunderstorms are driven by the difference in temperature between the ground and the upper atmosphere, which in cold weather generally isn’t big enough. Thank you. That makes sense.

I watched supergreatfriend's LP of The Infectious Madness of Doctor Dekker a while back, and one of the characters mentioned they worked at a church and they were a fully certified pallbearer. What the hell is a fully certified pallbearer? Is it a UK thing?

Jeza posted:If a certification exists, it's probably just part and parcel of training under a funeral director. It's not uncommon in the UK for coffins to be carried by professionals rather than family. Like the Ghana meme, but with less dancing. I thought maybe it had to do with something like if they needed a fill-in to carry the casket, but it just seemed like a weird thing to be certified in. I was kind of wondering if a pallbearer did something different in the UK, but it doesn't seem like it. Thank you!

How did they cram so much voiced dialog into old adventure games? Some of these games have just tons of poo poo voiced, and it's kind of amazing, y'know?

Tiggum posted:CDs were able to store over a hundred times more than disks, and a lot of games were distributed on multiple CDs. A multi-gigabyte game was entirely possible once CDs became the standard. Well, yeah, that's a good point. When I was a kid, we had a PC, but not a lot of games for it, so I never really played adventure games when I was younger. I really enjoy LPs of them, and it is still amazing to me how much talking there is. Thank you!

Platystemon posted:You can compress the hell out of speech, too. It has a much more limited sonic range than music. I didn't realize how much you could compress voices. A lot of the voice acting in these games is good, and not just good for the time. It's actually well read and stuff, and I really enjoy it.

I was flipping through my Steam library and saw the game Dark Sector; in it, the main character has congenital analgesia, where he can't feel pain. From my own experiences and the people I know, the vaccine tends to beat you down, but how would that affect someone who can't feel physical pain? Like, all the symptoms, but no message from your body that something is wrong?

ninjoatse.cx posted:Anyone have any heated mugs besides Ember? I love my Ember mug, but it's broken down three times in the past 2 years because the collapsible prongs in the base are just a flawed design. Anyone used any of the alternatives? I've got a few Built brand tumblers that I found at Meijer. They're really nice, and keeps my drinks cold for a long time. I can put ice in them at night and still have solid cubes (and ice cold water) twelve hours later. And I've forgotten it outside, in subzero temperatures, for over an hour and had my hot drink still be hot, even though the tumbler itself was cold as hell.

I don't really respect many (any?) organized religions, but people? People I live near? Yeah I don't want them mad. I didn't think about that kind of thing; that sounds like the norm for the kind of place I work, which is decidedly not. I'm sorry.

Why do we have to cook our food? Like, plenty of animals thrive eating raw foods, so why do humans need to cook their foods? Besides the obvious of not getting sick, I know that. I also just realized, I don't think I can ask this without looking like an idiot, but whatever, nothing new

dupersaurus posted:Without cooking we’d spend way more time eating way more food for the same nutritional content. These days in the first world it’d just be boring and annoying, but elsewhere and elsetime that’s a significant survival drain. IIRC thanks to our massive brains we proportionally need a lot more energy than other animals, so we need every advantage we could get. Thanks for this and all the other great answers. I knew cooking "unlocked" nutrients or whatever, but I never connected that to our brains utilizing those nutrients.
