I'm a dude, but it was the same for the girls at my school: skins wore their shirts, and shirts wore a second communal sleeveless track shirt over their shirt. So we called it skins and shirts, but really it was shirts and double-shirts

I dunno, I don't just ignore ads, I find them repulsive, like my scam-alarms go off even when I know that it's probably a legit product. Seriously unless I get a recommendation from an actual person, the brand I've never heard of feels safer to me then the brand I saw a cheap ad for on some janky website. Maybe it's because so much of the stuff I had growing up was knockoff/store brand, so I've hardly ever actually experienced anything that I saw an ad for.

There used to be some truth to the advise of not washing cast iron because those old-fashioned soaps had lye that could break down the seasoning. So I guess if you like to use boutique soaps you should be mindful if they contain lye. But if you're just using dawn dish soap like probably 90% of everybody, go to town, you're not going to remove seasoning with dish soap

They're asking which distro. They said they already tried Ubuntu and didn't care for it

No they're right, they literally just run and jump underwater

Yet despite all these adaptations for life in the water, hippos can't swim—they can't even float! Their bodies are far too dense to float, so they move around by pushing off from the bottom of the river or simply walking along the riverbed in a slow-motion gallop, lightly touching the bottom with their toes, which are slightly webbed, like aquatic ballet dancers.

Honestly that's scarier to me

Being on tinder doesn't tell anything new given the context of the conversation. Any single girls that anon's friend's gf would consider referring to our apparently-single anon would be interested in one or both of those things whether they were on tinder or not, or they hopefully wouldn't agree to a date.

It's Terminator 2 I'm pretty sure. Maybe you're thinking of Armageddon?

Wow that's really clever actually. Basically using the library as digital scratch paper

Right, technically deterministic, but not practically

Snowboards definitely have steering, you twist the board and shift your weight to manipulate how the edges contact the snow, it's just not quiet as explicit as a bikes front wheel. But whether it's a bike, a board, or literally any moving thing on land, the steering happens because you applied a lateral force to the ground and an equal and opposite force was applied back to you.

The snowboard uses different methods of applying that force, but other than that it's the same concept as described in my first comment: Greater speed allows more subtle corrections to take effect more quickly.

Now the snowboard does have a wider contact area with the ground, but that really only helps you on flat ground at very low speed, or standstill. Advanced boarders will carve transitioning from edge to edge most of the time.
