Don Edwards got a reaction from The Old Hack in NP Wednesday August 21, 2019
And not just mathematics. I've read that Sanskrit has a technical subset dedicated to describing language and grammar, and there is no modern human language that this subset can't accurately define the grammar of. (In contrast, English can't accurately define the grammar of even English... although it's slightly better at defining the grammar of Latin.)

It isn't so much the oxygen percentage, it's the oxygen partial pressure - i.e. how much air pressure oxygen is providing.
Prior to Apollo 1, our manned space missions routinely used pure-oxygen environments - at partial pressures roughly equivalent to the oxygen content of the atmosphere at sea level.
The Apollo 1 fire occurred in a test of whether the space capsule would keep the air in. So they pressured it to above one atmosphere... with pure oxygen. Under those conditions, practically everything is flammable and some things are extremely easy to ignite - a few things will even self-ignite, that won't under more normal conditions.
The after-fire review asked two big questions that nobody had good answers for: why were they using pure oxygen for this test when ordinary air would have been fine, and what was the point of having the astronauts present for the test?

I've had fun with the thought that maybe everyone in Moperville is hiding the fact that they have magic or someone they know has magic...

Last 3E game I was in I dual-classed cleric and barbarian. After a few months I figured out that I could have RPed the barbarian better as a straight cleric. And had better, safer barbarian rages - and more of them after a few levels - although they would take a couple turns to kick in rather than being instantaneous.

Today the Nazis have to vociferously accuse anyone who opposes them of being Nazis.
That's how little of an immediate threat they are... which has no bearing on how big a threat they may become.
What's more worrisome than the Nazis is the number of government officials, particularly in or with oversight over police agencies, who would rather let the Nazis rampage than risk being accused of being a Nazi.

I wanna know more about that pet alligator who barely speaks...
Is there a word missing from this? Like "female"? Because the US and France, among others, have had democratically elected heads of state for a long time.

The "dottir" at the end of her surname is kind of a clue... Iceland still uses actual patronymics.

The number of replies chiming in with "Me too!" in reply to this thread is heartening. :-)

Snerk.
"While the question itself wasn't necessarily stupid, it's clear the circumstances that apparently led you to have to ask it certainly were."

/me's list is of the incorrigible punsters he's puncilled in for punishment 'pun some future occasion which he hasn't punned down.
Like all anti-pun measures, it seems to only incorrige them us.

So if you have sort of figured out something about how magic works, you have a rule of thaum?
