"Oh So Very Many Questions Than Before Not Worth Their Own Thread" Thread Vol. XXVI

How aggressive are mudcrabs (or their closest real life equivalent) in RL?

The Elder Scrolls crabs are probably based on Scylla serrata based on what I've read, though I've never played the games. According to this site, it's "a large, active and aggressive carnivorous species that undoubtedly feeds on native [Hawaiian] invertebrate species." It's also rather cannibalistic.

edit: very much the wrong thread

edit2: jeezo, guys, you haven't left my mistake open to speculation!

Pretty girl and, additionally, a joke. What could be better?

Indeed. What's wrong with her? She's rich, she's beautiful, she's got HUGE...













...tracts of land

How the hell does she manage to hide all that under a T-shirt?

Huh. that's interesting. So their suicidal behavior in TES is relatively realistic after all.

Does a seed die when it's planted?

Not as such. A seed is basically a ball of food and armour around a plant-embryo, and is consumed as the plant germinates.

Planted root vegetables die, so when you pull up e.g. a potato plant, you'll find one rotten potato, which is last years "seed potato" from which the plant sprouted.

Do food critics have ways of covering up their status to restaurants?

You walk in with a couple of friends and ask for a meal. What else?

If fame is really an issue I'm sure they'd disguise themselves.

So a plant isn't resurrected from a dead seed?

Even if the manager might recognise them, it's highly unlikely that their waiter would if they act like everybody else.

I just a got a phishing scam in my email from my aunt. Her account is apparently hacked, it's at AOL. What kind of information the hackers could get their hands on?

 

[cardgame]

everything that was in her email, obviously. Anything that uses the same email's password and email registration on other websites is also compromised.

 

[Mouthwash]

That's why I mentioned AOL specifically. How is it used?

 

[Rashiminos]

I'm searching for an adjective. It can be applied to women who use lots of makeup and have cartoonishly exaggerated femininity but aren't really that attractive.

I can give you noun: Dollface used as a pejorative.

Gaudy also comes to mind.

or plasticky

Password reset requests could mean even more accounts could be compromised.

What? People register to websites using the same password that they use for the email account they registered with?

We're talking about AOL members, remember?
