Does that mean Nicola Peltz will never be a Disney Princess?

1. The ship rises as the water level does, so the bottom nine rungs will never submerge.

Well regarding #5 I feel quite foolish after having looked at both the hint and the more broad internet. Well done, Jack, you sly fox.

D’oh!

1) Never, but not because it takes more than 24 hours to go all the way up and all the way down, the boat will rise with the tide and lower with it as well, the bottom rung will always graze the top of the water unless the boat or the ladder break in some unxpected way.

You’re overthinking #1. It’s a boat, so the tide goes up, so does the boat. 

1.) 32 hours. (8 x 4) Don’t forget that the bottom most rung is already touching the water.

Calculator should have won. Flashlight is a light-switch, rather than an app. How could we all let this happen? All tens of us...  But more seriously, Rhett, thank you for your work over the years, truly.  

Texting and phone calls existed before Imessage. Ok not as fancy. Google maps has changed the world and how people get around. It may go down in history as one of the greatest “inventions”. Yes I had a free standing gps unit before google maps but the ease of use, ubiquity and that every phone is now a gps unit is/was…

Randall Park, The Office?! He was in a single episode for less than 5 minutes in a cold open. Sure, it was a memorable cameo… but it’s kind of like saying Bradley Cooper (Abbott Elementary).

The US Military would be on the paying side of a civil war. You can’t fund toys and pensions by over turning our current form of democracy.

Totalitarian countries aren’t as large as as ours. Russia is but your average sergeant from their military isn’t chilling with disability pay, pension and a pontoon boat and the…

It’s not about what is going to the government and China (and a lot is), it’s about what they are feeding our citizenry. It is very much in China’s interest to disrupt our society, and we should all be concerned about what they are feeding our children’s minds.

They’re saying that the last Star Trek series to end without a Riker appearance was Star Trek: The Animated Series, which ended about 50 years ago.

The worst person you know just... proved, once again, that he’s the worst person you know.

The solitary hunter (and diner) was Starboard, a male orca with a collapsed dorsal fin.

I’m constantly fascinated by how profound those first few years of the pandemic changed this country. Aside from all the deaths, I mean, although that was a massive toll as well. But societally, things just changed. Distance learning had a big effect on students (and teachers) which continues to plague education,…

I’m totally confused by how this passed the editorial stage. I submit articles regularly, and every little thing is peered over and commented upon. If I had submitted art like this, I would have been immediately rejected. I don’t get it.

Meh, just the credibility of this publisher.  Some of us are still quite happy with the work of the CDC, the Lancet, the BMJ etc.
