It seems pretty unlikely that the handful of people I follow suddenly deleted a bunch of recent photos, but there doesn't seem to be any way to get a hold of Instagram. Can I do anything besides hope it doesn't happen again? There was an Instagram issue yesterday. Not sure if it's been resolved, but I'd assume so.

In that vein, because I've tried googling and couldn't find poo poo, what is the correct way to pluralize a possessive from a first-person pov? Like if I was trying to say that a thing belonged to both me and another person. "Me and blank's" doesn't seem right but I seriously don't know. "Mine and blank's?"

"Mine and blank's" or "my and blank's," again depending on context. Usually, though, I'd just say "ours" or "our."

Or, "Blank's and Mine." I had a teacher tell me this was best once because you always put yourself second. I don't know if that's true but it's another option I guess. Less awkward to say, marginally.

I think the universal rule is that when talking about yourself and another person you use the same word you would if the other person weren't involved and put yourself last. "Whose is that ball?" "It's mine." "It's John's and mine." "What's that?" "It's my ball." "It's John's and my ball." "Who's going to the beach?" "I am." "John and I are." "Who's the cake for?" "It's for me." "It's for John and me."

dupersaurus posted:How does a tsunami play out when it's running parallel (or close to) a shore? Is there no or minimized effect, or does going up the continental self somehow turn the waves into shore? I'm no earthquake guy, so anyone who knows better, please jump in, but here's what I'd expect: I think, technically speaking, it's not a 'tsunami' if it doesn't involve large waves crashing upon a shore somewhere. If I'm understanding your question though, hypothetically, an earthquake occurs, let's say 50 miles West off the coast of California. The fault line where this occurs runs East/West (ie the fault is running ------) so the resulting waves would run North/South outward from the epicenter. So in this scenario, we have large walls of water, running on a rough North/South axis with no land in the path of the waves. Since there's no land for these waves to crash into, my best guess is that eventually, they would just expel all their energy back into the ocean. In the immediate area, any ships would be hosed, but I don't think people on the mainland would notice much in the way of water issues.

I've been renting a room at a friend's parent's home for the last couple years (parents dont live there, its rented to their kids and 4 others including me) and the parents got us together to tell us they want everyone out in a month or two so they can start fixing it up to attempt to sell it again. When they got us together they asked us to sign a paper basically saying that we acknowledge that we've been asked to leave by a certain date and that any damages in excess of normal wear and tear will be billed to us. We never were asked to sign a lease and I'm not very comfortable basically signing a retroactive lease (I havent signed it yet). Even though there was never a lease, am I still legally bound by anything that just assumes certain criteria because I've rented there for a few years now? I'm not trying to be an rear end and weasel out of anything I've really done, but I dont really want to pay for my idiot roommates tearing the place apart and their shoddy fixes, and the owners said they would split it the common areas evenly. e: in California.

CzarChasm posted:I'm no earthquake guy, so anyone who knows better, please jump in, but here's what I'd expect: I, too, am no earthquake expert, but  allow me to speculate based on some strong knowledge of the physics of fluids and shockwaves, passing knowledge of oceanography, and some anecdotal knowledge of what actually happens in earthquakes.Waves are hugely affected by the topography under the water (called "bathymetry"  ). Out in the ocean, there is not much displacement of the water due to the shockwave, so ships are usually minimally affected.Also, as far as I know, though fault lines can run east-west as CzarChasm said, an earthquake's actual vibrational shockwave originates from a fairly discrete point. So the resulting water shockwaves come out radially, i.e. in a circle, and there's no such thing as "tsunami waves that are only moving north/south." They radiate out in a circle from the epicentre, and wherever they hit an area of shallower water, the waves get compressed and have nothing to do but form a tall wave. So basically, there's sort of no such thing as a wave and a shore that are completely parallel to each other - any shore that is parallel would have to be preceded by a lead-up of land/shelf that would cause the wave to well up and the preceding land would take the brunt of it. The "parallel land" would be e.g. the tip of a cape, in which case the rest of that cape would have already absorbed the wave. Or, maybe there is land at an angle of 15 degrees a ways away from the epicentre (in which case, because the wave is going out radially, there would necessarily be some closer land at a 90 degree angle that would get slammed). And suppose it's not the tip of a cape, but just the more northerly coast of california where the otherwise unimpeded waves are hitting it askance. If the water gets shallow (continental shelf) 1 mile straight out from shore, at an angle of 15 degrees that means the wave has 4 miles of travel in shallow water in which to get real tall and then dissipate itself before it hits the shore. So this coast would probably not get much of a wave.

A contract is not valid unless both parties are receiving something of value. I don't see any reason for you to sign that. It would likely take longer than 60 days to evict you if you refused to leave. I'm going to guess this is some form-contract their new realtor gave them. Tell them you understand where they are coming from and agree to leave when they need you to (and do so) but don't sign anything. I am not a lawyer, but I employ enough of them for contractual issues that I've picked a few things up over the years.

Ive been watching american dad and family guy on netflix a lot lately. Some episodes are louder/quieter than others. Not by much, but its still noticeable. What would cause this? I dont have any sort of sound equalizing/loudness control on my computer. I would understand if they were pirated episodes, different rippers and all that but this is netflix.

quote:Conversely, if A signs a contract to buy a car from B for $0, B's consideration is still the car, but A is giving no consideration, and so there is no valid contract. However, if B still gives the title to the car to A, then B cannot take the car back, since, while it may not be a valid contract, it is a valid gift. Man, law is goofy.

I hope I'm posting in the right place - I'm trying to find a high resolution photo from Casino Royale. Specifically, the photo I'm looking for is Daniel Craig in his swimsuit: I'd like it high-res enough that I can have it blown up to life-size for a bachelorette party. Anyone know where/how/if this can be done? I've scoured the internet for hours and come up empty. I'm willing to pay royalties or whatever but haven't even found a place where I could do that. I own the blu-ray version of the movie so if there were some way to screenshot it myself I would do that, but I'm pretty dumb and don't know where to start. Thanks!

Software question, I'm looking for a program, free preferred, that keeps a history of text copied to the clipboard, up to 10 or 20 items or so. I had a program that did this a few years ago where I worked, but I don't recall the name of it. Yes, I could just keep a running clipboard manually by pasting everything into a word doc, but the program I'm thinking of handled it all automatically. TIA

When it comes to mobile phone batteries, namely the one a Galaxy Note 3 uses, is it best to let them run down to flat occasionally or to keep them on charge and charged as much as possible? I only ask because when Walton Simons asked Jaime Reyes about his battery, Reyes said keeping it in a permanent state of charged is a bad thing.

I only ask because when Walton Simons asked Jaime Reyes about his battery, Reyes said keeping it in a permanent state of charged is a bad thing. Theoretically, they are healthiest when at around 80%. Keeping anything with a battery at 80% would be a huge pain in the rear end, and it's my experience that Li-ion is the battery that you've been waiting for all your life that you can pretty much treat like poo poo and it will last for 2-3 years and still have decent capacity. I don't really worry about optimum battery health - if I go out of town for a week without my phone, I'll be sure to leave it at home at 100% instead of 0%, but other than that, I just forget about it. And mine work fine.

Top up li-ions whenever you want/need. Just don't leave them on the charger 100% of the time like some people do with their laptops, because that's bad. The battery needs to be used from time to time (like once a month at least) or it 'unlearns' how to hold a charge. And you wouldn't want to do deep discharging, but then your device shouldn't allow you to anyway. In a phone, either extreme scenario is unlikely if you actually use it.

Could you actually milk a cat/mouse/dog/whale and how would it's milk compare to cows or goats milk? Any mammal can produce milk. However, most mammals only do so when they are lactating. Dairy cows for example don't start lactating until they give birth, then they produce dwindling levels until they give birth again. So now, if you could find a recently pregnant cat, you could potentially milk it. You wouldn't get the same amount of milk as you would out of a cow (obviously) and I don't even want to think about the mechanics involved in getting it in the first place. But it is possible. As for how it would compare, I assume you are talking about how it would taste, compared to cow's or goat's milk. I wouldn't have any clue, except to point out that a cow's diet can very strongly affect the flavor of their milk, and they mostly eat grass. A domestic house cat probably eats some form of cat food. A wild cat or outdoor cat might have a more varied diet and that might include, say, vermin.

Could you actually milk a cat/mouse/dog/whale and how would it's milk compare to cows or goats milk? In principle you can milk any mammal, but logistically some have a harder time than others, and most mammals only lactate after pregnancy. The taste would vary wildly but likely would be worse tasting than cow or goat milk since they wouldn't have millennia of selective breeding behind them. Animal husbandry is basically genetic engineering, and we've engineered those animals to produce tastier milk in larger quantities.
