It's just odd, anything ever made with a user interface since the 80's has had a calculator app. Apple just remove features and charge more for something that is inherently similar to everything else they've ever done.

At least you've got a calculator app, ipads have never had one. Kind of ironic for a device that has more processing power than 1970's supercomputers.

We are kind of unique in our ability to sit on chairs, the majority of animals throughout evolutionary history have some form of tail. Imagine we meet aliens and every species is incapable of sitting on a chair, it'd make start trek look a little foolish.

China doesn't back losers, they've taken a step back and aren't likely to do anything to jeopardize trade given their current economic issues. A similar trade ban to Russia's would tank their economy instantly.

He's alright when he's not at work...

The Mercator scale on maps makes everything equatorial look tiny compared to northern and southern latitudes.

Russia relies on man power, Ukraine relies on mind power.

The size of his manhood isn't about shaming him it's about proving the fact that he is a liar and a criminal.

This is incorrect, oil is lighter than water so one instance is impossible.

Edit, I'm wrong about all of this, there is no instance where water is above oil, apologies.

I've already made a couple of comments but I thought I'd throw this one in too, ancient societies held coming of age as a big deal because it meant that you'd reached a point where you were worth investing in, prior to that you were cannon fodder.

Trendies, hipster chicken?

ZX81, couldn't afford games so learned to program, wrote little graphical adventures using a text map.

Don't worry about the quality of the paint, I grew up using cheap Chinese water paints and it was OK.

That's alright, fusion is only ten years away!

I visited about twenty years ago, it's definitely worth a visit.

That is a brilliant summation, well done!

Queen Boudica went to war with the Romans.

Spam croquettes!

Snap! Can't even put a new one in....

Liftoff on Android is very similar to RIF.

Strange, ours is similar yet curly....

It's occasionally a survival strategy, rodents will eat their young if they are exposed to high levels of stress immediately after giving birth. Some sharks do it in vitro with their siblings. Edit, higher mammels tend to offer up the ability to sustain the young as a valuable survival trait, except male lions, if a male lion takes over a pride the first thing it does is kill all the cubs so the females go into heat sooner. Nature is harsh.

Scavenging for food, digging up any available crops and planting for next year.

This is the reason that the food standard cooking temperature for a variety of different meats in the EU is 80c for a variety of different amounts of time, it's not to kill the pathogens it's to kill the by-products.

It's stale mate.

You didn't have to make it to adulthood, if you made it to five you would likely see fifty on average. Edit, apologies that it still leaves an average. Second edit, it's also theorised that children don't like the taste of vegetables until they reach puberty, children are predisposed not to eat plant matter as they are incapable of knowing whether or not it will kill them.

The one with water above oil.

You are quite right, I am wrong about everything I posted on this thread, apologies.

It's not really sitting though is it...

I probably got a pretty decent dose of lead due to licking my brushes in the eighties, little sets of paints in lead tubes.

Britain bombed Dresden for three days, Germany used incendiary bombs in London, Coventry and Birmingham for three years.
