You get steam by boiling water. How do you boil the water? That's the power source, not the steam.

The typical answer has been "burn coal to boil the water".

Since all personality tests are debunked junk science, how does your company help?

People who insist on buying the name brands are willing to pay more for them, and will buy them even when store brands are available.

People who are willing to buy the store brand will buy it even if a more-expensive name brand is available.

By offering both name brand and store brand items, the store gets both of those people to come in and shop.

The 1st time you roll a 6 sided die, you have a 1/6 chance to roll a 6.

The 100th time you roll, you still have a 1/6 chance because it's still a 6-sided die.

The 100000000th time you roll, you still have a 1/6 chance to roll a 6 because it's still a 6-sided die.

If you have rolled four 6s in a row, then on the 5th roll you have a 1/6 chance to roll a 6, because it's still a 6-sided die. Completely apart from that, the chance of rolling five 6s in a row is 1/7776, because there are 7775 other possible combinations for those five rolls.

If you buy a candybar from someone, you give them money and they give you a candybar.

If you buy a house from someone, you give them money and they give you a house.

• If they still owe money on their mortgage, then they use your money to pay it off. If they have money left over then they made a profit. Hooray for them!
• If you took out a mortgage to afford the house, then you now owe the bank a whole lot of money. The house itself is the guarantee that you will pay them back: if you don't, they take the house.
• When you sell the house, the buyer will give you money. If you still owe money on your mortgage, then you will pay the bank. If you have money left, you have made a profit. Hooray for you!

Thus making the question self-answering, so I'm not sure what else there is to do.

Binary uses 2 digits because that's what "binary" means.

A system that used 3 digits would be trinary.

"The political manipulation of electoral district boundaries with the intent to create undue advantage for a party, group, or socioeconomic class within the constituency."

"Why are supersonic jets extremely slow in terms of the size of the Milky Way galaxy?" The two things don't have anything to do with each other.

Make something heavier and it's tougher to move it.

The more mass something has, the harder it is to keep on making it go faster.

Anything with no mass moves as quickly as anything is able to move.

Light has no mass.

Your pupils clamp down quickly because very bright light can damage your eyes. Kinda an "emergency lockdown" situation.

They can expand more slowly to be cautious of overdoing it.

Pure honey is antibacterial because it sucks the water out of bacteria and kills them. Honey diluted into water is yummy bacterial food.

11 bags of groceries can fill 65 cabinet shelves once you unpack and sort them all. They're a lot more compact when they're all shoved into the grocery bags, but that's unusable - you need to unpack everything so it's easily available when you need it, even though it ends up taking up more space.

The infections could cause all sorts of problems.

Your body's response will be fairly similar in many cases: "intruder alert, expel everything!" is a common one and covers sneezing, coughing, vomiting, and diarrhea, depending where the infection is. Likewise, your body sends a squad of white blood cells in full riot gear to the site of any infection - which then causes swelling as they flood the area.

A baseless hysteria back in the 60s fueled by xenophobia lead to lots of people thinking that MSG is bad for you. Turns out the whole thing was total bullshit. The only people still against it are the ones who haven't gotten over the fake claims.

It's irresistible because it amps up savory flavors in anything.

"Nightshade" is a huge family of plants that covers everything from tomatoes to potatoes. And belladonna too, commonly called "deadly nightshade".

The family as a whole is not considered to be different than other fruits or vegetable.

The general reasons why anyone would try to avoid anything are "medically diagnosed allergy", "self diagnosed allergy", or "fad diet that they got suckered in to".

From freezing to boiling in Celsius is 0 to 100. Halfway is 50.

From freezing to boiling in Fahrenheit is 32 to 212. Halfway is 122.

What's 50C in F? It's 122!

Take the amount of water that's inside a human body and just pour it all into a big bag. It sloshes around a lot and feels like a liquid, right? Your question is asking why people don't feel like that.

Well, take all of that water, and split it up among several billion teeny tiny boxes. Put all those boxes together in the shape of a human, and it'll contain the exact same amount of water as the big bag did, except now it'll feel solid because the water is all held within objects which have shape and structure.

In an actual human, those billions of teeny tiny boxes are all of the cells in the body.
