Well, yes, but I never disputed any of that. I wrote, "A cat is not a rigid body and is absolutely accelerating towards Earth, experiencing the physical effects of gravity." Are you saying that is wrong?

An accelerometer doesn't measure what you think. It measures the difference between the acceleration of the casing and the internals, for an example. It is designed to show 0 in free-fall. Yet, it still is under the force of 1G towa

That's not true zero-g. In a plane you are experiencing the force of acceleration towards Earth, which is closer to 1G than to 0G.

It likely is different based on what you've said. I hope you keep finding and using what works for you. It's often different between people even who have similar configurations.

You can say, "bite the bullet", which means you accept the the difficulties you know will arise. It's actually a perfect idiom for this case.

I constantly use window snapping on my desktop Mac with two widescreen monitors. But, I use keystrokes to do so, using Rectangle, not the mouse.

I used Spectable as well. The newer version is called Rectangle.

FYI, I always load Rectangle on my Macs for window snapping using keyboard keys. It's fantastic!

You're reading the sentence incorrectly, regarding the order of the focusing adverb, solely. The meaning changes depending on the adverb's placemment. For ex: "bred solely for appearance" does not mean the same as "

0x in and of itself is not necessarily a reference to crypto. In many programming languages 0x at the start of a number means the number is encoded in base 16 (0123456789ABCDEF) instead of base 10 (0-9). see 0xDEADBEEF, 0xCAFEBABE, and for

That's completely incorrect according to the actual study. [1] They used random data blinding until analysis procedures were established. The word encrypted was used informally (in the article) not as a reference to homomorphism. [1]

Chemtrails are absolutely a conspiracy theory. However, they are not far-fetched given how many programs the US government has run that affected the health of its own citizens and members of the armed forces.
