Just out of interest though, can you suggest some of these other contexts where you might want a valid replacement for a duck that looked like one, walked like one and quacked like one but was not one?

what is the context for this photo please? (that is not a calf btw?) It certainly does not look very nice, are you relating this to the "Ethically Raised in the Swiss Alps Cows" in the comment you replied to? In truth, they just t

Normally your top speed is not really very fast as the pedals are fixed to the wheel, so you get one rotation per pedal (extremely low gear) and slowing down is not often necessary. You can overtake bicycles easily going uphill, but downhil

So technically, a yacht is any leisure vessel. ie not a working boat. In the UK, a yacht is usually a sailing boat though we also increasingly have motor yachts. In the USA though, a yacht is a large motor powered vessel. So, when an Americ

Also, see "Moreau's Other Island" by Brian Aldiss, an updated version of the classic. I found H.G.Wells writing to be very dated, not that Aldiss is current (published 1980) but I think it is biologically more plausible..

Not sure how it protects your vision. So, they say take an eye break to relieve the strain, presumably with focussing on a fixed point. These guys are saying that hey you can instantly focus on something far away and carry on working withou

I've never seen a fishing boat fly a flag, and I've been sailing in many countries for >20 years. Generally, fishermen don't care for such things. So, since I am British and have a UK registered boat and know a bit about t

So, its a long game - make it generally irritating for people to use other services. Every time they introduce a feature, make it opaque and difficult to implement. Other services, other MUA's have a hard time keeping up. The users get

No, that does not solve the issue. You still receive 'reaction' emails but in addition, the user you emailed in the first place gets an irritating email and they suppose that you are a dick. They are in some way correct, since the

Point taken, but reading that official sanction just shows a load of whining. However, I was able to read it, which would not be the case if he had just phoned Nadella. Who knows, perhaps he did and Nadella refused to play? I see that he

Sanctions are official, but Trump phoning up the CEO and whining about nonsense is something else. I'd be concerned that a US company would be vastly more likely to fold from the latter than a German one would. Sanctions enacted agains

Lighthouses are usually white. They used to rotate (sweeping the beam) but tend to flash now I think. Nautical charts show the elevation of the light, the visibility ranges and the pattern of on/off (eg Fl (2) 10s 41m 17NM). Some light

I seem to think that human children can regrow the tips of their finger if it is cut off (I think the nail is ok, not the joint) though I don't know where I learned that, perhaps a first aid course. I've never tried it though.
