Are open-world video games getting too big for their own good? | Define “getting”.
Just Cause 2 came out in 2010, and its open world is many times bigger than most console titles.
Skyrim’s Elder Scroll prequels were notable for having much larger worlds than Skyrim itself. Especially Arena and Daggerfall.
The Crew is a driving game that takes place in a compact version of the United States that’s about as large as Skyrim.
Assassins Creed Origins, Odyssey, and Valhalla take place in open worlds that are a bit larger than Skyrim.
No Man’s Sky made a big splash by promising an open galaxy filled with hundreds of explorable planetoids that were each several times larger than any Rockstar game world.
But the issue isn’t the size of the world, but what you can do in that world.
Smaller, denser open worlds can be found in games like Yakuza Kiwami 2 and Saints Row 3, which are the size of a compact North American city. But those games are largely about a series of activities within neighborhoods that are the size of many athletic stadiums (stadia?). If the activities are worth sampling, and the neighborhoods worth exploring, then the open world is as big as it needs to be.

Are bank tellers allowed to ask why you are withdrawing a lot of cash from your account? | Last I can remember in the US banks are required to report cash transactions in excess of 10,000$ dollars or more. The only other reasons I could see would be if the person is just being nosy or if for some reason they are concerned for your safety (as in the idea that you are somehow being forced to do to make the withdrawal by a third party). Realistically they should not ask without cause I would just answer the question with the question of why do you ask, I am confused as to how that is any of you’re business? If they have a legit answer as mentioned above ok. Otherwise they are wasting you’re time and make a complain with the banks branch manager.

What could have been done to make season 7 and 8 of Game of Thrones better? | Preston Jacobs is a youtuber that mostly covers Game of Thrones and the novels. After seasons 7 and 8 came out, he made videos summarizing what HE would’ve wdone. The only constraints he gave himself was that both seasons had to have the same number of episodes (7 & 6, respectively), and the conclusion had to largely be the same. I greatly recommend everyone to watch these videos, it’s so awesome!
That said, for season 7:
take out the “capture a zombie to get Cersei to join us” plotline. It was beyond dumb, Cersei was in no position to offer any support, let alone be any major threat on land. So capturing a wight was so, so unnecessary. Preston Jacobs does offer a better reason for going beyond the wall, but I’ll let you discover what it is.
For season 8:
Make the night king the main antagonist. They literally just had the dumbest battle, the stupidest twist, and no serious consequences. Finishing the show with Cersei as the main villain, nah
Honestly it’s been years since I watched the show and even more years since I read the novels so I’m feeling a little forgetful, but you get the gist!

What are the three components of the cell theory? | Do you want to die?
Well, no one wants to die. Especially, Chinese emperors didn’t wanna die.
They were so scared of death..so scared that they would go on great length to ensure their immortality.
Such as, taking the “Immortality elixir”. Tada!
You see,the problem here is these so called elixirs contained harmful substances such as mercury, lead and arsenic.
The “Immortality elixir” resulted in slow poisoning and a not so sweet journey towards death.
The irony!
According to historians, the first emperor to die from elixir poisoning was Qin Shi Huang around 210 B.C., and the last was Yongzheng in 1735 A.D.
In other words you can say,
In search for immortality they found the quickest and painful way to grave.
I just wonder how come the future emperors kept taking the elixir even though it failed miserably.
I guess there are some things we will never know.

Are there any anime studios who work to make good content without trying to pump out half finished or unfinished anime? | Yes there are a number of studios who have their films delayed ( often indefinitely ) and those studios often shudder if enough of their work goes too far off schedule or too much over budget.
Studios like Ghibli which can go years between releases and only release work they're prepared to stand behind are few and far between because most can't afford the luxury of time and going over budget.

In the UK, can a resident get him/herself checked (e.g. blood tests, scans) for cancer free of charge on NHS?

Can a GP refuse to arrange these checks because the client has no symptoms?
Assuming your are legally resident and registered with the NHS:
If you are in a particular risk group (based on age and medical history), you will be called regularly for the corresponding scan. The obvious ones are breast cancer, prostate cancer, bowel cancer, etc. These are free, provided by the NHS as prevention.
You may also be called for treatment even if you don’t have symptoms. Young women get precautionary treatment (a vaccine against Human Papilloma Virus, which reduces the chances of cervical cancer). This has apparently been a very successful effort. Cervical cancer rates are way down. The treatment is free of course.

What is a good time to buy Powerball or Mega Millions from a lottery machine and win? | Hi Naveen
What? Maybe you’re hoping there’s some sort of mystical moment when you should buy a ticket, when the planets and stars happen to be at a certain visible location, or have a mystical consultant place a “winning spell” for you, or whatever. Well, no, there is no “special” time, lottery tickets are always going to have the same random odds, no matter when they’re bought.
Yes, you can find all sorts of promotional websites and videos claiming to have “secret” formulae or insider information about how to win lotteries. The only winners in that scenario are the vendors who can attract customers gullible enough to believe such fake BS. Maybe you should ask yourself, if their secret formulae and all that worked so well, why do they have to bother selling any this, they could just win the lotteries themselves. They never seem to have an answer for that . . .
Try to grasp this concept if you can, lotteries are in the business of making money, not giving it away to someone that happened to buy a ticket at the “right” time. Sorry, it just doesn’t work that way . . .
Good luck

If the multiverse theory is true, isn't it inevitable that the universe collides with another universe as there is an infinite amount of universes all expanding? | “The” multiverse theory? Which one? There are multiple variations.
No, it’s not inevitable, not at all. It all depends on the specific assumptions made.
And please note that our Universe is not expanding into some existing space. Rather, the metric of space itself changes over time. That alone would make it seem unlikely that it collides with another universe.

What is the difference between granite and marble? | Distinguish between[LINKED_TEXT: granite and marble?] [URL: https://marmogranite.com/onlinejournals/]
Marble and granite are both lovely, exceptionally looked for in the wake of surfacing materials. In any case, everyone has its own properties. Gauging the upsides and downsides before choosing either for your surfacing venture is significant. All in all, what precisely is the distinction?
Marble
Marble Kitchen CountertopsBeautiful marble kitchen ledges by Molly Frey Design; photograph through Houzz
Marble normally has veining while rock has more speck-like, granular appearance yet it can't be expressed when in doubt. In view of its creation, the normal stone has two general classes:
Siliceous stone is made for the most part out of silica, or quartz-like particles. It will in general be truly strong and simple to clean. Stones in this class are rock, record and sandstone.
Calcareous stone is made of for the most part calcium carbonate. It's delicate to acids, including cleaning items and nourishments like citrus organic products, vinegar, wine, tomatoes, and so on. It requires diverse cleaning systems than siliceous stone. These kinds of stones incorporate marble, travertine, limestone, and onyx.

So which one would it be a good idea for you to pick? Everything relies upon the tasteful you like and how much support you're willing to do.
In spite of the fact that both are normal and quarried from the earth, they have altogether different properties. The greatest distinction among stone and marble is their porosity. Essentially, marble is gentler and more permeable than a stone with hardly any exemptions like marble from Danby, VT. Marble like Imperial Danby from Vermont is one of those sorts which are extremely strong. Rock, whose crystalline structure makes it progressively impervious to scraped spot, recoloring, and staining, is truth be told, the most grounded of every normal stone.
Calacatta Marble PeninsulaPeninsula and ledges in Calacatta marble by Rebekah Zaveloff; photograph by Houzz
Granite
Granite is a volcanic stone, which implies it was once liquid and framed as it cooled profound inside the earth. The minerals contained in rock typically show up as little specks all through the stone. Marble, then again, was once limestone that changed because of extreme warmth and weight. This procedure modified its crystalline structure and presented different minerals, which produce its trademark veining.
Both marble and stone are hard, substantial, generally warmth and sear verification, and arrive in a wide cluster of hues and examples. Since both are made in nature, there can be extraordinary varieties in shading and example. In the two cases, a showcase test you find in-store may not be a precise portrayal of your real buy. (So make certain to see your sections face to face, regardless of which material you select.) Both stones can be recolored by slick or strongly hued nourishments, so both require fixing sometimes (ordinarily once per year.) Both occur through complex responses in the earth that take a large number of years, helping them accomplish a look that is a lot of not at all like any man-made material.

A large portion of all, both marble and stone make excellent ledges, backsplashes, divider covers, floor covers, and then some. They are both one of a kind stones and can speak to huge speculation. Still, have more inquiries concerning the contrasts among marble and stone? Let our stone specialists at Marble and Granite, Inc. walk you through the means to pick which one is directly for you. You're generally free to visit our showrooms or visit us on the web.

No. They are potential pancakes, potential houses, potential chickens, potential gold bars, potential supernovae, potential bonfires, potential funerals, potential forest fires.. Many such fertilized eggs are miscarried or stillborn, which would negate their potential. Until they are breathing air they are not really a person.

Why is Brutalism (architectural style) so unpopular and often disliked (specifically among non-architects)? | Thanks for the A2A, Ksenia.
The two other answers I see talk about “because it’s ugly.” The trick is, why do people perceive it as ugly? I’m going to skip the economics discussions of what made brutalism a practical way to get buildings put up in its day, to focus just on the aesthetics.
Brutalism evolved as a style that was trying to make a deliberate contrast to both the glass boxes (think Bauhaus-Dessau) and the white boxes (think Villa Savoye) of inter-war and post World War II modernism, and to the conscious ornamentation of pre-War Art Deco.
Besides the habit of architects to look for the next great aesthetic movement, the post-World War II world was in many different ways looking for such a movement, whether it was Eastern European countries now looking for a new aesthetic to go with their new communist governments, or Western European countries looking to express a new solidity and purpose, or Americans looking for an architecture consistent with the muscular industry that had catapulted the United States to the top of the world pecking order.
The forces that generated Brutalism and enhanced its style are the same forces that make it almost universally loathed in the Western world today:
A focus on eliminating any applied ornament, while trying to coax ornamental qualities out of the construction material itself. Result? Many Brutalist buildings can only be appreciated from very far away (far enough to take in the whole formal composition of the structure) or from very close in, where the finish of beton brut can actually be appreciated. Between those two distances is a sort of visual no-mans’-land, where the building presents itself as a confusing and undifferentiated mass of concrete lumps.A focus on the extensive use of concrete, mostly for its sculptural qualities and flexibility. Result? Buildings that are physically cold thanks to the thermal mass and conductive properties of concrete, aesthetically cold thanks to its color, and that weather and wear poorly - exteriors often quickly develop rust stains from the rebar, dirt streaks that refuse to come out easily, and even moss, if it is wet enough. Interiors develop an unpleasantly greasy-looking finish from constant contact with people, cleaning products, and so on. Taken far enough, you get Paul Rudolph’s corduroy concrete finishes - an exterior wall that seems intended to hurt anyone who carelessly brushes too close.A focus on telegraphing function through form. Result? Buildings that are either nonsensical-seeming from the outside (Boston City Hall, for instance, makes more sense once you know that this lump sticking off the facade over here is the city council chamber, and that one is the mayor’s office, but of course, how is the casual observer supposed to know that?) over-complicated with far more nooks, crannies and length of exterior wall for the amount of program than they need, or totally inflexible to future changes in use, or, most often, all three.
Social engineering. The association of Brutalist style with various communist regimes never helped its image, but beyond that, even popular Brutalist examples (such as [LINKED_TEXT: unite d’habitation] [URL: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unit%C3%A9_d%27habitation] in Marsaille) tend ed to involve a very prescriptive programmatic understanding of their use, which was then embedded in impossible-to-change concrete.A focus on Herculean engineering, both in use and expression. This is usually deliberate - a choice to emphasize the mass and solidity of the structure, rather than make it seem light, or cover the whole thing with distracting decorations. Result? The inverted pyramid (again, as in Boston city hall above) is one of the more common Brutalist tropes - not merely that the building should be massive, but that its massiveness should overhang the pedestrian who dares venture near, overawing them with the sheer amount of weight suspended above their heads. Not exactly comfortable, really.
Quite a few architects dislike the style for that reason too, coupled with the fact that Brutalist buildings tend to be hideously inefficient - exposed structural concrete makes a terrible wall insulation, the inverted pyramid and the breaking out of functions into defined blocks of mass mean more structure and more material for the amount of program, and the incredible difficulty of changing an all-concrete structure means whatever modifications do get made are usually either absurdly costly, or terribly jury-rigged.

How fast could the US Air Force SR-71 Blackbird fly if it pushed its engines to the point of destruction as some MiG-25 Foxbats did chasing the Blackbird? | At 1 point in time the son of one of the team which developed that plane was a friend, I met his dad a few times. Another member of the team was a client. All that either of them would say is that the top speed was classified. But also faster, a lot faster, than the official figure. From what I have read the top speed goes up as the altitude increases, to a point, and that at very highest speeds you are pushing blowing the flame out on the engine. Since they only carry enough tri ethyl borane to relight it a few times, 6?, that top speed is a research number only and has nothing to do with operations

Why are Siberian Huskies abandoned in large quantities? | Why are Siberian Huskies abandoned in large quantities?
The short answer is because humans suck! They thinks dogs are a toy to amuse them when they want and to be put away in the closet when they don’t want. Others get the breed without understanding anything about working dogs, especially working dogs that are often smarter than the humans who got them.
Siberians are exceedingly intelligent, loyal and loving. My Zinoviya a few months ago…
Loving on kids during her training.
At nine weeks when I got her.
At 12 weeks being insanely cute.
Zinoviya now…
Yes, she works for me every day and loves every bit of it too. She’s trained for mobility and hearing assistance. On her own she picks up on people with hidden disabilities and does her best to make them smile. we were in a store one day and she pulled me towards an isle I didn’t intend to go down. Turned out there was a child riding in a buggy Zinoviya wanted to see. Of course mom gave the “okay” and that little girl who was totally sullen suddenly put on a big smile with eyes wide open and yelled, “Puppy!” I looked over at mom who was wiping tears from her eyes then said, “My daughter is autistic and that’s the first time she’s spoken in three weeks.
Lots of other replies speak about Siberian “prey drive” and “aggressiveness”, that’s purely a result of irresponsible humans who don’t put forth the necessary effort to properly relate to a Siberian and train them. My Zinoviya was raised around my chickens and stands at my side while the chickens swarm me like a real life version of the Alfred Hitchcock movie The Birds because they act like they’re half-starved. Zinoviya is alert for any potential danger, but she doesn’t do anything other than sniff some tail feathers. The only attention she gives to other dogs is keeping watch that they aren’t going to pose any threat to me, unless it’s another Siberian in which case we have to stop for a little “how do” time because they know their own breed.
Training is not hard at all because Siberians are exceedingly intelligent. Not a good picture of her agility training because I goofed taking the pic, not her following commands. Yes, that’s the side of a slippery 55-gallon drum and before anyone blows a gasket, rest assured that she was worked up to this and I take great care to make sure my baby girl doesn’t get hurt.
Take note there are no treats involved. That’s done for two reasons, the first being that the dog needs to respond to both voice, hand signals and body language commands without hesitation and secondly because there are some extremely sick people who will intentionally poison dogs with tainted treats. Zinoviya will not take treats from anyone but me and her rewards during training are praise which praise from their alpha is what Siberians value more than anything else. We are together 24/7/365 and that’s what Siberians needs because they are very family oriented whether is their Siberian family or human family.
People who claim that Siberians are stubborn don’t understand that they’re stubborn and won’t listen to you because you haven’t earned their respect. Siberians are very much libertarians who live by the rule that respect is earned, not demanded. - MarkKw

If you are a medical worker, have you ever experienced a patient full out faking? | I see a lot of answers here from providers using the “texting friends” excuse for disbelieving a pain or severity level.
Screw all of you for that. It means nothing. Nothing other than that your willingness to have such an attitude is too strong.
I’ve got a head & body chock full of tumors & cysts. I’m a human chia pet. I do the texting you’re all talking about even in the worst pain. Even when my brain tumor was growing, and literally killing me, just after brain surgery and every other point throughout this.
I even play games on my phone or on a handheld gaming device. It does not affect the pain or symptoms one way or another. Period. It helps me to feel better in non-physical ways , takes my mind off the pain. And I’ve been in more pain than you could ever even imagine - two babies, two craniotomies, spinal taps, procedures where the only anesthetic was a needle jabbed in my head in order to anesthetize me from the pain of the actual procedure … yet still been able to do stuff. Maybe not to speak, but my arms still … kind of work. More or less.
It pisses me off to no end that so many people think this matters. You’re way too willing to look at patients with skepticism and it’s beyond rude.

Is drug use really rampant among investment bankers? | I don’t know about investment bankers in specific, but I know of someone who was flying a drone in Chicago during the night in front of a well known market maker. The drone recorded two guys sniffing something off a table lmao. So, yes, that was probably coke. The drone guy received a visit from the FBI and the full video was taken down from YouTube. It’s still possible to find cut versions of the video on YouTube and the full video on some alt sites.
After interacting with an admittedly small number of people in the industry (and reading from 3rd parties) I felt forced to conclude that albeit they are intelligent people, the clichés of money obsession, drugs and out of this world ego are most likely true.
Edit: The recording was during the night and the guys probably thought they were alone (they were probably the only people in the building).

Why aren't Macs being built with touch screens? | [LINKED_TEXT: MacBooks are not touchscreen because Apple is focusing on indirect input with their Macs] [URL: https://go.fiverr.com/visit/?bta=762321&brand=fiverrcpa&landingPage=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.fiverr.com%2F%3Fsource%3Dtop_nav]. The MacBook is designed for indirect input, while the touchscreen interface is left to the iPad.
Further to that, the operating system on iPads is perfectly designed to be used with a touch screen. The icons are bigger, iPad’s shape is easier to touch and it includes an on-screen keyboard etc.
. You also have the Trackpad (touchpad), which is a faster method to introduce touch features to your MacBook, plus it saves you from getting your screen dirty with fingerprints.

How long will the New Horizons space probe have power? | New Horizons’ principal investigator Alan Stern said:
“There’s fuel and power onboard the spacecraft to operate it for another 20 years. That’s not going to be a concern even for a third or fourth extended mission.”
[LINKED_TEXT: [1]] [URL: #NnCpW]New Horizons is powered by a [LINKED_TEXT: radioisotope thermoelectric generator] [URL: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radioisotope_thermoelectric_generator] that produces electricity using the heat of radioactive decay. The RTG contains 9.75 kg of plutonium-238 which decays with a half-life of 87.7 years.
The RTG provided 245.7 W of power at launch, and was predicted to drop approximately 5% every 4 years, decaying to 200 W by the time of its encounter with Pluto.
[LINKED_TEXT: [2]] [URL: #ZTxtT] ___
As a result of the Pu-238 half-life, the reduction of thermal power is only approximately 0.8 percent per year which makes it ideal for long-duration missions. (Various changes in the properties of the unicouple materials can add to the electrical power decay with time.)

How is a BSc in geology from AMU? | First of all, I'd like to thank you for asking me this question.
Aa far as I know regarding Geology, firstly it's multidisciplinary subject and this subject is quite different unlike other subjects.
Even I studied Geology in AMU for two years because I had this subject as subsidiary subject.
According to my knowledge, here professors have deep knowledge at department of Geology in A.M.U. But I saw in this department, mostly professors are stereotypes. If you wanna know something more or detailed information about individual topic therefore you'll have to come ahead to ask in their own cabin with permission not in class. And the most important thing is for studying Geology here that you facilitate quite good lab and here they use to focus practical work; in my opinion it's very good thing & you won't get so much nice lab anywhere. If you google then you'll find that AMU has the second best geology department all over the Indian universities and institutes.
It considers strict department in terms of discipline and in terms of marking too than other departments here.
Conclusively I'll give 4.5 rating out of 5 to this department. Why I cut 0.5 rating you'll know yourself after studying geology here time by time.
All the best to your career and keep happy.

Why does everyone live on a hill in Peppa Pig? | At nighttime the dead awaken wanting they’re flesh back, they wander the bottom of the hills due to the lack of grip climbing the hill. What I’m trying to say? The reason why everyone is fat is because there was overpopulation and so that resulted in cannibalism and then the rage of the dead ones bring them back to life every night.

What was the strangest fast food order you've seen? | For a short while, I made sandwiches in an North-eastern originating sandwich shop chain. They did the usual cold sandwiches, like Italian cold cuts and a special turkey sandwich with a thanksgiving theme, but there were hot options, too. For the hot options, the cheese steak was definitely the most popular and had several ways to customise it- onions, sweet or hot peppers, different cheeses, etc. There was a man who would come in and ask for a cheese steak with onions, all of it just barely cooked. The meat was weighed out in pre-measured portions and we’d slap everything on the grill when the orders came in so the food was hot and fresh, but he wanted his meat to be essentially raw still. We HAD to at least take the precursory steps of trying to cook it, but if we left his meat on the griddle for a few seconds too long he’d complain. He quickly sought me out because I made the sandwich to his liking, and would refuse to let others make it for him. He also had to charming habit of hanging out in the very compact dining area for ages, reading a newspaper, which he would ritualistically spread across the four-top and decorate with sandwich shrapnel and grease, before leaving the mess for us to tidy up. Wasn’t much for tipping, either, naturally.
There was also the time a guy complained to corporate because I didn’t pour a gallon of mustard on his sandwich. It was turning the bread yellow and pouring out the sides, but when I suggested taking advantage of our free condiments to dress it how he pleased rather than my destroying his (now thoroughly soggy) sandwich he took it as a personal attack, I suppose.

What is the biggest problem with the modern education system? | “I’m very passionate about learning, I love working with a team, and I’ve always been in the top ten of my classes.”, I wrote.
The problem was, there were only ten students in my class that semester.
The bold letters of the application form scared me. “Tell us about your academic achievements, and how you demonstrate excellence in the classroom.”
I had tried wording my response in a thousand different ways, but nothing sounded right.
Applications like these, whether they were for clubs, leadership roles, or even universities, used to come easily to me. I was recognized as gifted in fourth grade, and I watched, usually from the sidelines, as my classmates - what our teachers called “like-minded peers” - took on piles after piles of essays and worksheets, and received stacks of boxes filled with trophies and certificates that they’d never look at again.
First place, of course. Because getting second is as good as getting nothing at all. In our education system, mediocrity is unacceptable.
There are so many kids out there, who, like me, would pride themselves on never ever ever getting a B. But underneath all of those hefty academic achievements, I think a lot of students are genuinely struggling.
When you’re told from a young age that your standard is excellence, and that the only way to succeed, go to uni, and get a good job is to outshine others, people often start seeing in black and white.[LINKED_TEXT: ¹] [URL: https://medium.com/mindsets/gifted-kid-burnout-breaking-free-of-smartness-2c29e71a6cd0] Something is acceptable, or a complete failure. You’re either doing well in school, or you’re dumb.
In my sophomore math class, nine out of ten students received marks above 91.² But even the highest scoring kids in that class still felt inadequate compared to each other, and faced tremendous stress in terms of their marks - because they’ve been conditioned by our school system to set themselves to impossible standards, and in turn, to base their self-worth on how well they can achieve them.
It seems sad to me that the attempts by the school system in “promoting excellence” has turned into something so toxic.
footnotes:
[LINKED_TEXT: ¹] [URL: https://medium.com/mindsets/gifted-kid-burnout-breaking-free-of-smartness-2c29e71a6cd0] - the link to a really good medium article i read about the topic! the part that stood out to me the most is as follows:
Research done by Professor Carol Dweck (author of Mindsets: The New Psychology of Success) shows that giving kids positive labels such as “gifted”, “talented”, or “smart” in their formative years pushes them into what she calls a “fixed mindset”: believing that qualities are “set in stone”, “fearing challenge and devaluing effort” — with a fixed mindset, people “[don’t] want to do anything that could expose their flaws and call into question their talent.” - H. Yu, Gifted Kid Burnout
² - with my glorious mark of 40%, i singlehandedly brought the the average in that class down six points, from 94% to 88% :)

How and from where can I buy cheap flight tickets? | There are several ways to manage [LINKED_TEXT: cheap flights] [URL: https://www.cleartrip.ae/flights]. The flight fares are lower at odd hours. The flight fares also vary as per the season. You can compare the prices for flight tickets and book the best option. You may rely on Cleartrip to make the comparison online. Consult a few frequent flier friends. They may have some suggestions to add. One of my quick tips is to read all the terms and conditions and guidelines before you finalise the booking. Sometimes, you may end up paying more if you don’t read all the fare policies.

What's the most widely held misconception about credit scores that you know to be false? | “I’ve never been in debt so must have a terrific credit score.”“I’ve lots of credit cards and loans and all are paid on time, so why can’t I get more credit?”“I’ve checked my credit score and it’s good, so why aren’t you saying yes to my application.”“I have a legal right to know why you turned down my credit application.”
All of the above are wrong.
You don’t have a history to check, so all things being equal, are an unknown quantity.In the U.K., your total debt is aggregated to see if it is prudent to extend more credit. Let’s assume your income justifies total unsecured credit of £30,000 but you have £28,000 of unused credit card balances. The lender will assume the unused credit will be used at some time, so consider cancelling unused credit lines before applying.Your score is only one facet a lender looks at (see 2) and may not use the credit reference agency you searched! Different agencies give different results.You don’t. The lender can refuse to say why, as this is business sensitive information and to divulge it would leave them open to fraud. You do have the right to be informed which credit agency was used and to be given their details so you can search, for a small fee payable to the agency. However, this won’t necessarily tell you why your request was declined.

What did the Jedi do if they found a teenager or adult that was strong in the force but was missed as a baby? Do they just let this powerful person walk around untrained and dangerous, maybe fall to the dark side? | Usually nothing.

Two examples from canon are the [LINKED_TEXT: Miraluka] [URL: https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Miraluka], only a handful of whom were Jedi yet the population was 100% force-sensitive, and the [LINKED_TEXT: Bardottan] [URL: https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Bardottan] even had their own version of the Jedi order that was tolerated, the [LINKED_TEXT: Dagoyan Order] [URL: https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Dagoyan_Order].

In Legends, Hutts like Jabba were also force sensitive, although this has not made it into canon.

If you don't have such compulsions then try the'after' option.

Why do planes fly above the clouds? | “Why do planes fly above the clouds?”
That’s where the weather is.
Rain falls down, obviously, so if you’re above a cloud, you can’t get rained on by it. Also, a lot of the turbulence is at that same altitude where the clouds and the weather are. Not all of it, obviously, but a lot of it.
Also, you can see farther above the clouds. It’s nice and sunny up there.
It’s just better and safer flying up above the clouds, and since many clouds are conveniently at the same predictable altitudes, they are easy to avoid.

Why is abortion such a big deal in America? | To a disturbing and depressing plurality of Americans, EVERYTHING is a matter of opinion:
‘There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that ‘my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.’’ - Isaac Asimov
With a population as divided as the Americans - they’re essentially two countries; much more so, with the demise of the Fairness Doctrine, at the hands of Ronald Reagan, who recognized that the GOP could no longer prosper w/o it - everything therefore becomes contentious.

Can a boxer intentionally fake a knockdown to recover and prevent themselves from getting knocked out?

Fighters have used other methods yo get valuable recovery time while no losing a point like faking or exaggerating an opponent’s foul.

Why don't the newer Jokers copy the design for Heath Ledger's Joker? | That would be pointlessly derivative. Ledger’s Joker was compelling because it put a unique spin on the character while staying true to several of his core traits and principles. The Nolan Batman films attempt to be somewhat more believable than previous iterations of the franchise. Yes there are many impossible elements but there’s no magic, no super powers, Batman doesn’t go to outer space or build his own robotic power suit.
In this more gritty down to Earth story it made sense for the Joker to be different. First and foremost falling into a vat of chemicals is entirely too pulpy. Alan Moore’s “The Killing Joke”, the primary inspiration for the Ledger Joker, retained this element of the character’s traditional backstory yet simultaneously made it unnecessary.
In The Killing Joke the Joker became who he is because of trauma. From a psychological perspective we might say his apparent madness is his own defense mechanism against the pain he experienced. From a philosophical one we could propose that he had an existential “encounter with the absurd” and that really he’s not insane at all but is consciously choosing his world view in response to the apparent meaninglessness of life. Neither interpretation is aided by the idea that a bunch of make-believe chemicals scrambled his brains.
Rejecting the chemical plant backstory informed the character’s appearance. It makes far more sense to dispense with the idea that he has bleached skin and a face paralyzed into a permanent smile and instead introduce something that pays homage to these elements in a more plausible way, thus his scars were born and he was relegated to simply painting his face. Likewise the Joker’s typically well-kempt appearance made little sense. Where would he go to get a haircut?
For all these reasons it doesn’t make sense to create a Ledger style Joker in a more comic-book centric story. The Ledger Joker fits the Nolan world perfectly, but there are many others where he wouldn’t fit at all.

Do Westerners find it strange that Eastern countries that are modernized in technology, such as India, Pakistan, Singapore, China, Korea, Japan, etc. still have concepts of obedience to elders, family honor, social conformity and ancient tradition? | No - and I find the question itself mind-boggling! I think it misses the point spectacularly .
The only meaningful way to define the “West” is to see it as an ideology - not a geography, not a culture, not a civilization or race any such Huntingtonian nonsense - but an ideology, a way of thinking, which just happened to develop in Europe during later Middle Ages and Renaissance, patched together from bits and pieces gathered from everywhere. I think it was [LINKED_TEXT: Leopold von Ranke] [URL: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leopold_von_Ranke], who remarked somewhere that Renaissance Florentines were (and still are) the prototype of the modern “Western man”: in a sense that they believed in dignity and liberty of a human person; in a benevolent and rational world which isn't throwing demons and curses at you; and in natural law and progress of mankind, around which the government and the state ought to be organized. And this first historical occurrence of such a “Westerner” movement immediately caused a reaction in the very heart of that “West” itself. The 16th century Protestant Reformation overturned every single of those Renaissance ideals: stating that man is predetermined to sin and lacks free will; that the world is run by Devil and sorcery is everywhere; instead of government by natural law - divine right of absolute monarchs; and instead of living scientific progress - dead authority of Biblical literalism! And afterwards, Reformation proceeded to bury the Renaissance, in a series of bloody religious wars, with the very tools of modern technology that it acquired from it; printing press, gunpowder, and professional armies.
A similar process, only for the better, was happening on the other side of the world, in China, from the end of 16th century. When the great Jesuit missionary, [LINKED_TEXT: Matteo Ricci] [URL: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matteo_Ricci] came to China and studied Chinese classics there, he immediately recognized Confucianism as a philosophy compatible with the ideas of this Western, Christian, European Renaissance. He even presented himself - a Counter-Reformation, Italian-born, zealous Catholic - as merely a “Western Confucian” to the scholars and nobles of the imperial court. And while they showed great interest in acquiring the fruits of this new “Western” science and technology, Ricci and his Jesuits were pointing them to rediscover their own, ancient Confucian philosophy, as a perfect vehicle through which the modernization of China could be achieved. Indeed, the thing which acquired Ricci most of his early converts wasn't any translation of Bible or a saintly miracle, [LINKED_TEXT: but a world map he made in collaboration with Chinese] [URL: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kunyu_Wanguo_Quantu], teaching them about the new lands and geography methods discovered by Europeans. But that world map itself, although early modern, was distinctively Chinese, as can be seen bellow: none of the men who worked on it needed to insult his elders, disgrace his family honor, or even give up Chinese script, before he could acquire the skills of this new, “Western” technology.
Therefore, the banal idea that modernization of technology will bring about “Western” culture at the expense of local traditions (be they good or bad), is one of most unbelievable cases of turning history on its head. The “West” itself was never truly “Westernized”, in a sense that this humanistic, rational and progressive ideology of Renaissance never became dominant in it - at least not without serious backlashes, reserves and compromises. The underlying political structure of the modern-day United Kingdom is fundamentally no different than that of Saudi Arabia: a theocratic monarchy, where a sovereign of state is also the head of its religion, and instead of a proper constitution, you have a series of precedents and traditions. And if the 2016 election of Trump has shown anything, it’s that the most “Western” nation of the world, for all its modernizing glory, at its heart still remains a gun-slinging, lynch-happy, cowboy-saloon of persecuted Puritan colonists, frantically escaping the 17th century “Western” Europe, because that place is becoming way too modern for them.

Why are HDMI cords so expensive? | David Haynie’s answer nailed it. Retail stores like Best Buy will often sell TV sets at cost and will make their money on the accessories like overpriced cables and TV wall mounts. This business model is similar to McDonald’s.
When you go to McDonald’s they break even on the food and make their profit with the drinks.
So when I’ve visited McDonald’s I drink water. When I buy a new TV I buy my cables from Amazon or Monoprice.

How can I get a call history of any number? | It is possible to find the call history of a mobile phone number, but it is not always easy to do.

What is it like to have a good/best friend of the opposite gender? | Around September last week I posted a picture with my guy friend saying, '1 year with you was a blessing, can't wait to spend more years like this' A lot of people congratulated me for 'finding the one' and I addressed them, only to my horror- they confused him for my boyfriend.
I met my 'guy-friend' sometime around last year in September- I was playing with dead carcass of the previous relationship- I was emotionally exhausted it, stuck with work and honestly, I was very lost when I met him, and he was there too- we comforted each other's loneliness.
Being friends with him was a little awkward in starting because he is a gentleman, that one friend of ours who has never been around girls, I still remember, during my first sleepover at his place when I was heading to office in morning his flatmate and his then fiance rushed to terrace only to double check what they saw.
For me it was no bed of roses either because all the guys I have been around being either my ex or someone I met on Tinder who was trying to bone me, I questioned his niceness all the time until I realized he is like this all the time.
We go along pretty well despite being the complete opposite, He is not into drinking, I get drunk once a week, but he tags along because bad decisions after shots are scary. I was into eating non-veg, he uses to see me droll over chicken biryani.
We never run out of topics to talk about- we both love reading books, Start-Up industry, funding rounds, Marvel Cinematic Universe and scrolling through Instagram. We look at the same traveling way, i.e., relaxing- we have traveled to a lot of places together only to sit by the beach, make sandcastles and run away from the beach after seeing a big crab.
He helps me with my mental/emotional breakdowns; I help him with balancing his personal and professional life. He helps me with managing my finances, and I support him with picking shirts. He helps me in understanding what is going on in a guy's mind- I convince him every day to get married.
We have keys of each other's place; we have back up clothes at each other's home, my landlord knows him, his maid and watchman knows me.
Our friends get pissed when we make plans without them, go on movies/shopping/ traveling without them- they find our closeness clingy because we finish each other's sentences, know everything about life.
My family finds him an absolute delight, we never fell for each other because we know what love does to people and we know each other too well to date. We share a bed, food bowls; I have a drawer of my things at his place and vice versa.
It feels different but not unreal; I have someone who protects me- someone who is 6 ft but still needs a drawrf to punch people on his behalf. It feels good to have a support system, a guard, a guardian angel and a blessing in disguise who is drama free and respect you a lot.

Why do Navy pilots salute with the left hand? | We don’t, except in one circumstance. You’re probably thinking of a carrier launch like this:
See that guy in the yellow shirt pointing down the deck? He’s the guy I’m watching to get hooked up to the catapult. After I’m hooked in with the launch bar, he spins me up, telling me to go full throttle. I’ll go to military power or full afterburner depending on what aircraft I’m in and then wipe out the controls. That’s the final check to make sure everything’s ok with the plane. If all my instruments look good, I’m ready to go flying. I have to tell the yellow shirt I’m ready to launch and the way I do that is with a salute. Depending on the cat I’m launching from, the yellow shirt could be on my right or left side. The above pic is a launch from cat 1 where the yellow shirt will always be on your left. If I did a proper right-handed salute, he’d never see it…hence saluting with the left.
This one looks like a cat 4 launch. Yellow shirt on the right, salute with right hand.

What is a proxy, and how can I use one? | A proxy server goes about as a passage among you and the web. It's a mediator server isolating end clients from the sites they peruse. Proxy servers give shifting degrees of usefulness, security, and protection relying upon your utilization case, needs, or organization approach. A model would be on the off chance that you utilize your PC to demand a Web page on the web. The server demands the information and different records for you from the objective server. When you type in a Web address, the solicitation is sent to a proxy server. The server at that point sends the solicitation to the objective server that houses that specific site. At that point the objective server sends the Web page to the proxy server, which thusly, sends it to you. The objective server considers the to be server as the guest, not you.

Why am I not making any money on my affiliate marketing? | There could be several reasons why you are not making money on your affiliate marketing efforts. Identifying and addressing these issues can help you improve your performance and increase your earnings. Here are some common reasons why affiliate marketers may not see success:
1. Wrong Niche or Products: The niche you have chosen might not have a large enough audience or may not be profitable. Additionally, the products or services you are promoting may not be appealing to your target audience.
Solution: Research and choose a niche with a significant audience and demand. Select products that are relevant to your niche and have a good track record of conversions and customer satisfaction.
2. Insufficient Traffic: If your website or platform doesn't receive enough traffic, the chances of getting conversions and sales are limited.
Solution: Focus on driving more targeted traffic to your website or platform. Utilize SEO strategies, social media marketing, content marketing, and email marketing to attract more visitors.
3. Weak Content: Your content may not be engaging, valuable, or persuasive enough to convince your audience to make a purchase.
Solution: Create high-quality content that provides value to your audience. Write compelling product reviews, comparison articles, and helpful guides to encourage conversions.
4. Lack of Trust and Credibility: If your audience doesn't trust you or your recommendations, they may be hesitant to click on your affiliate links.
Solution: Build trust with your audience by being honest, transparent, and providing unbiased recommendations. Offer genuine reviews and only promote products you truly believe in.
5. Poor Affiliate Link Placement: The placement and visibility of your affiliate links can impact click-through rates and conversions.
Solution: Strategically place your affiliate links in prominent positions within your content. Use clear and attractive call-to-action buttons to encourage clicks.
6. Not Testing and Optimizing: If you're not tracking and analyzing your affiliate marketing efforts, you may miss opportunities for improvement.
Solution: Use analytics and tracking tools to measure the performance of your affiliate links and content. A/B test different strategies to identify what works best for your audience.
7. Ignoring Mobile Users: If your website is not optimized for mobile devices, you may be missing out on potential conversions from mobile users.
Solution: Ensure your website and content are mobile-friendly to cater to the growing number of mobile users.
8. Impatience: Affiliate marketing takes time and consistent effort. It's not a get-rich-quick scheme.
Solution: Be patient and persistent. Keep learning, experimenting, and refining your strategies to achieve better results over time.
Affiliate marketing success requires continuous learning, adaptability, and a willingness to invest time and effort into your strategies. Identify the areas where you can improve and implement the appropriate solutions to enhance your affiliate marketing performance.

Why don't we have nuclear powered trains, aircraft, and cars? | You know nuclear power is one of the most dangerous things. Nuclear power stations and nuclear labs are located far away from living areas. That is to avoid any disasters that may happen.
If cars and trains are run by it, it means we are making the danger wander here and there. So it has not been implemented.

Why is Sensex going high even though GDP and employment are going down? | If funds are invested in industry and business, it will lead to growth in GDP as well as employment.

Was the SBD Dauntless fitted with a more powerful engine during its service? | Apart of Wright “Cyclone” R-1820 development into newer versions with slightly higher output. “Dauntless”, seen as a platform, didn´t have much left to further improvements. So, the answer is: “No.”.
By the way. The worst enemy to “good” is “better”. Note, more powerful engine is also more heavy, requiring larger wing, stronger fuselage structure, bigger tail … And, soon you end up with totally different plane, or you compromise something heavily.
We can say, all the best from “Dauntless” evolved into a new and to some extent ultimate design - Douglas “Skyraider”.

How do ballroom dance competitions work? | Simple answer, inadaquit self esteem. And there r beautiful women every where, most don't know how to appreciate their vagina, nor help a man not feel insecure about his penise. At 68, I understand the value of devaluing both vagina and penise, placing each in the toy section of adult interactions, way out of my age range. I would enjoy ballroom dancing. It is cuddling standing up, to music.

What did the US Government do that was so heinous that it caused Americans to decide they needed an unchecked right to bear arms? | False statement. The British government convinced us we needed to lay it right out in public what were the natural laws of mankind.

Which song that was a major hit for an artist or band also created a backlash for them? | I can't believe nobody has brought up this gem.
Billy Squire's Rock Me Tonight.
Billy Squire had ripped off a string of hits like, The Stroke, My Kinda Lover, Everybody Wants Some and many more. In the early 80s, he looked to be the next Springsteen. He was a good looking dude, played a mean guitar and wrote solid rock and roll.
And then Rock Me Tonight happened.
On its own, it's a pretty solid tune. A bit more pop than rock, but still a good song. It hit #14 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1984, and topped several other charts. The album it was on went multi-platinum. It was the high point of his career. Naturally, being 1984, and the anchor single off the album, it got a music video to play on the musical taste maker of the time, MTV.
This is the video
Yup, that happened. There he is, in his… pajamas?, prancing about like a 14 year old girl. Not very rock and roll of him, is it. And from there, it was all down hill for Billy.

Is Frito Lay the same as Walkers? Their logos seem highly identical. It seems as if Walkers is just the European version of Frito Lay. | Yes it is
