The anno domini (AD) dating system started in 525. The concept of zero did not make it to Europe until the 11th century.

There is already a Japanese airbase about a mile away from it. The airbase was the first to confirm the new island.

Japan’s Maritime Self-Defence Force’s air base on Iwoto Island (previously known as Iwo Jima Island, the site of a major Second World War battle) confirmed the emergence of the new island last week after personnel heard a loud explosion that sent sand and ash flying high into the air.

Clipping through things is real.

00:00:00 is the 1st second of the day. 23:59:59 is the 86400th second of the day. That's 24 hours.

This is the third eruption in the same place in the past two months, if 'a volcano erupts near Grindavík, Iceland' was on your bingo card it should have already been marked. And having 'any volcano erupts' on a bingo card would make the game too easy since there are about fifty volcanos erupting at any one time.

There's nothing special about a microwave that will superheat water. You can superheat water on a stovetop, but nobody ever says not to boil water on a stove.

double it and add it to subtract it from what’s left

Your complaints don't seem to be about the connector, but instead the USB 3 specification. USB 4 seems to address your concerns and mandates the type-c connector.

the mirror is reflecting the light emitted by the lamp better than a wall will do.

Will it? Maybe. You are making the assumption that specular reflection is better at reflecting than diffuse reflection, but that is a false assumption. It depends on the reflectivity of the wall and the mirror. A white wall can reflect more light than a mirror.

Exactly the same as water being superheated in a microwave, no nucleation sites.

Yeah. The link I posted is a followup to that story, in which the Biden campaign says those rumors are false.

You have to read more than the headline (but even the headline has a hint that this is not Biden speaking directly). The article says "Four people who regularly speak with the 77-year-old Biden told Politico that it is unlikely he would run for reelection in 2024" It's just rumors at best. More likely it's propaganda to get people to not worry about his age.

So then the recommendation should be 'never boil filtered water in the microwave, and never boil filtered water in a new pot on a stove', not 'never boil water in a microwave'.

Edit: or maybe 'Never boil filtered water in a glass or ceramic container' that makes it clear that the method of heating is irrelevant, it's the condition of the water and container that is important.

That is a belief that existed and maybe some still believe it, but I don't think any large organizations would consider that canon. It's generally considered a heresy, called Marcionism.

It’s a New York thing

New York the state or NYC?

Are you looking at the price in other currencies? Because all the US ones are $15

Even Biden said he was only going to run once.

I don't think Biden ever said that he would run only once. The news was that a few anonymous sources who were supposedly close to the Biden campaign said that he would not run for re-election and his campaign then denied that.

I've boiled water in the microwave thousands of times, it's never been superheated. It's does not easily happen in a microwave.

Every time I've seen someone test out this microwave myth, they use distilled water and a new container.
