What happened to "You're welcome!" as a response to "Thank You"? It's not even included in the canned answers on an apple watch. Have we as a society abandoned it?
In the show "3 Body Problem" (I haven't read the book) the statement was made 'our civilization is no longer capable of solving its own problems'. Would you agree?
Is there a way to get recommendations for "underrated" songs, or music that is awesome but I might not come across? For instance, I really loved the Peacemaker soundtrack...
Can someone demystify computer Ports for me? Please? Blocking, unblocking, opening, allowing, VPNs and their effect, what ports are and what they do, step by step, when you have to interact with them?
Who do you consider a Great Author of the last 50 years or so (first well-known work after 1970)? I'd like to get a feel for who's who in modern literature. Any language/culture. Fiction only.
What do you think are the beliefs, sayings, mindsets, or whatever of this generation that will make YOUR kids embarrassed or exasperated or say "Oh Mom/Dad!"
How easy is deepfake now? I just watched a show and I want to change the actor to an old timey one. NOT PORN. Just a cool show I think would be suited to this actor and I can't get it out of my head.

When I placed a lamp next to a mirror where I can see "two lamps", does that double the light output? I know all the light that would have been wasted on the wall is now being returned so is it a yes?
What is the worst song to listen to in the car because of sirens wailing, brakes screeching, horns honking, or any other scary stuff?
I was just listening to eons in my car and specifically the episode about armored fish, and the thought occurred to me: isn't evolution ultimately selecting for adaptability?
XMSirius just changed their terms and subscriptions are no longer cancelable or refundable starting 3/15/24, even if you sell your vehicle and have no way to use the account.
Does anyone understand the point of advertising a game doing something that, after downloading, it does not do?
When Billy Idol said Mony Mony made him feel like a pony he probably meant "really hungry for some hay."
What, they were one big peaceful team until the British? Need a little background here
