Open works have no coins and no ads.
#1842 Anti-Drone Eagles It's cool, it's totally ethical--they're all programmed to hunt whichever bird of prey is most numerous at the moment, so they leave the endangered ones alone until near the end.
#1843 Opening Crawl Using a classic Timothy Zahn EU/Legends novel is bad enough, but at least the style and setting aren't too far off. If you really want to mess with people, try using Splinter of the Mind's Eye.
#1844 Voting Systems Kenneth Arrow hated me because the ordering of my preferences changes based on which voting systems have what level of support. But it tells me a lot about the people I'm going to be voting with!
#1845 State Word Map The top search for every state is PORN, except Florida, where it's SEX PORN.
#1846 Drone Problems On the other hand, as far as they know, my system is working perfectly.
#1847 Dubious Study Sounds fine. I looked up the Academy, and it says on their MySpace page that their journal is peer-viewed and downloaded biannually.
#1848 Glacial Erratic "This will take a while, which sucks, because I'm already so busy chiseling out igneous intrusions from rock formations and watching Youtube loops of the Superman fault-sealing scene over and over."
#1849 Decades In the 90s, our variety radio station used the tagline "the best music of the 70s, 80s, and 90s." After 2000, they switched to "the best music of the 80s, 90s, and today." I figured they'd change again in 2010, but it's 2017 and they're still saying "80s, 90s, and today." I hope radio survives long enough for us to find out how they deal with the 2020s.
#1850 Air Force Museum I had fun visiting the museum at Dover Air Force Base, unless they don't have a museum, in which case I've never been to Delaware in my life.
#1851 Magnetohydrodynamics Magnetohydrodynamics combines the intuitive nature of Maxwell's equations with the easy solvability of the Navier-Stokes equations. It's so straightforward physicists add "relativistic" or "quantum" just to keep it from getting boring.
#1852 Election Map Luckily for my interpretation, no precincts were won by the Green Party.
#1853 Once Per Day I'm not totally locked into my routine—twice a year, I take a break to change the batteries in my smoke detectors.
#1854 Refresh Types The hardest refresh requires both a Mac keyboard and a Windows keyboard as a security measure, like how missile launch systems require two keys to be turned at once.
#1855 Telephoto I was banned from the airliners.net photography forum by concerned moderators after the end of my lens started brushing against planes as they flew by.
#1856 Existence Proof Real analysis is way realer than I expected.
#1857 Emoji Movie Some other studio should do the Antz/A Bug's Life thing and release The Dingbats Movie at the same time.
#1858 4th of July Strangely, they still celebrate by eating hot dogs. Since they don't have mouths, they just kinda toss them in the air and let them fall back down into their propeller blades. It's pretty messy.
#1859 Sports Knowledge I heard they might make the wild card game, which would be cool. Do you know when that is? I have a wedding next weekend, but if it's after that we could try to go!
#1860 Communicating You're saying that the responsibility for avoiding miscommunication lies entirely with the listener, not the speaker, which explains why you haven't been able to convince anyone to help you down from that wall.
#1861 Quantum If you draw a diagonal line from lower left to upper right, that's the ICP 'Miracles' axis.
#1862 Particle Properties Each particle also has a password which allows its properties to be changed, but the cosmic censorship hypothesis suggests we can never observe the password itself—only its secure hash.
#1863 Screenshots For the final exam, you take a screenshot showing off all the work you've done in the class, and it has to survive being uploaded, thumbnailed, and re-screenshotted through a chain of social media sites.
#1864 City Nicknames This place has so many demonyms. Northlanders. Fair Folk. Honey Barons. Lake Dwellers. Treasurers. Swamp Watchers. Dream Farmers. Wellfolk. Rockeaters. Forgotten Royals. Remote Clients. Barrow-Clerks. The People of Land and Sky.
#1865 Wifi vs Cellular According to the cable company reps who keep calling me, it's because I haven't upgraded to the XTREME GIGABAND PANAMAX FLAVOR-BLASTED PRO PACKAGE WITH HBO, which is only $5 more per month for the first 6 months and five billion dollars per month after that.
#1866 Russell's Teapot Unfortunately, NASA regulations state that Bertrand Russell-related payloads can only be launched within launch vehicles which do not launch themselves.
