What's the difference between thread-lock and glue? Is it just a special kind of glue?

It is indeed a special type of glue that works with the electrochemistry of the metal it's put on to cure without oxygen in the spot it's screwed in.

Why is tea sold in boxes of 72 and 144? Those seem like strange numbers

welll 144 is a dozen dozen and 72 is half-a-dozen dozen. think that's probably playing a part here.

I upgraded from Windows 10 to 11 and it removed all my Start Menu pinned programs (which is irritating) and Windows 11 has pinned literally every single app. Is there a quicker way to remove the pinned apps or do I have to click through hundreds of apps and individually right click > remove from pinned?

There's also different types of thread locker, basically "won't rattle loose but you can still bust it with a wrench", "this things staying put, but if you heat it with a torch it will come free", and "gently caress you, may as well have been welded"

joffrey doesn't quite work because he has immense power. this is more, like, someone who is really just an average person who thinks they are the greatest and deserve everything.

I'm reading an Oliver Sacks book and he's mentioned Dominic fyytche a couple of times now. I haven't seen a last name that uses the Roman alphabet but doesn't have any capitalization. Is this form common somewhere? I did a little searching but didn't turn up where ffytche is from.

It's a Welsh thing, I was similarly confused by a book that had a character whose last name was "ffrench". No idea if a double-f sounds different.

When I was in highschool (in Victoria but I'm guessing it's probably pretty standard across Australia?) there'd be elections each year for the Student Representative Council. I don't recall ever hearing a single thing about them outside of those elections though - and even at elections I had no idea why we were voting for them or what they did. So what did they do? What was that about?

School prefects help organise the lovely school dance and a maybe a few other things in our NSW school. I don't think it was much more than resume fodder for suck ups though.

As stated above BSS general questions is a good resource, but in general, they are probably not worth much. Unless you happen to have something "pivotal", rare and popular. If you want a quick estimate, check ebay and see if the selected issues are there and what others have paid for.

I'm trying to remember a PC game I played in the late 80s (possibly early 90s). It was a space adventure game where you were in a spaceship and went about exploring planets and gathering stuff. Your instruments would tell you about the planet's temperature, gravity, etc. If it were hospitable, you could land and explore. Sometimes, you would not get any readings, so, if you wanted to take a chance, you could land but would probably die when you realized the planet had 10x gravity. I want to say it was Planetfall, but the description doesn't ring a bell. Any clues?

Could it have been Star Control II, by any chance? Even if it isn't, if you want to play a space game from that era, go check out The Ur-Quan Masters, which is an authorized rebuild of the game to enable it to run on modern systems. Also, check out the remember a game thread if you don't get your answer here.

Looks like gog.com has it (and the sequel) for a buck fifty, if that's the one and you feel like revisiting it.

The videos for Danny Elfman's 'Gratitude' and Genesis's 'Jesus He Knows Me' both make visual reference to televangelism by a set with a light blue backdrop with wood toned furniture and tropical plants. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0_nDVjykgDk&t=43s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2-rfCnW5VlE&t=51s Was this in reference to a particular televangelist, or was this just kind of what it all looked like in the late 80s? e: or... are all churches (of a certain type?) blue? i've never been inside a church
