Ooh, Anpanman!

It looks like you may need to resort to non-central heating methods.

There is a point where both reach the maximum achievable, but there are no diminishing returns before that.

How much does Dresden use pseudo-Latin for incantations?

I was thinking less Church Latin and more Harry Potter style pseudo-Latin incantations.

Yeah, the landlording plan is great, if you are in a world where it doesn't require multiple years of an entry level job's income just to buy a single modest house.

Specifically, sending anything (matter, energy, information) into the past is impossible and breaks causality. Speeding or slowing an individual being or object's relative experience of time still appears possible given sufficient energy and the blessing of the Will of Magic.

Anything that would have as widespread an effect as stopping the entire universe would require deity-level power (i.e. power that makes supernovas look puny). Even all of the Immortals working in concert would probably be unable to reach much beyond a planetary scale. Far easier would be something like "speed you up so much that it seems like even bullets are barely moving", with some compensation for stuff like air resistance.

Sarah would likely be an "apprentice" for the first couple of years if they recruited her anyway. This kind of work requires lots of training.

Yes, the offensive players must be behind EITHER the last non-goalkeeper defender OR behind the ball. If they are ahead of both, then they are in violation. This also prevents the player who has the ball from performing a forward pass when there are no defenders ahead of the ball.

The short version is that the offsides rule prohibits offensive players from being closer to the goal than both the ball and all defensive players other than the goalkeeper. This is to prevent offensive players from clustering together forward of the ball’s position and creating a defensive barrier to keep the defending players away from the ball carrier.

Yeah, my apartment in college was hardly bigger than my bedroom in my parents' house had been (it was literally one room plus the bath), but having it all to myself was great.

Ouch, bone spurs.

Yes, was there NO mass that could be thrown overboard besides the stowaway? Food and water supplies for the pilot? Could the pilot land without the cushions on his seat? Throw that handgun of his overboard too--it's dead weight unless you plan to use the recoil from shooting it as a tiny bit of extra thrust, and then it's still dead weight once you've fired all of its ammo. Toss out all of their clothes, and possibly the EVA suit too if there's any way of getting it out the airlock without a human inside the airlock. I think that the movie Destination Moon did it better, where the crew had to lighten their spacecraft by removing everything possible, and the last few pounds of mass reduction was achieved by finding a way to jettison the last EVA suit.

No, pockets on clothing, thus creating justification for them to wear the clothing in the first place.
