Reply to comment by cjf2019 in When something is bent (a metal ruler for example) and returns to its original shape, what is happening on the molecular level? Where is the information of the original shape stored and what forces do the unbending? by JewNugget2525
Why aren't crystal structures always perfect? Wouldn't defects be naturally worked out specifically because of the stress they put on the lattice?

I've had 3 good science teachers in my educational years, and 10000000x this!
A good science teacher is really entertaining and fun. A dry teacher sucks.

Reply to comment by SillyStallion in Did sheep fur always just endlessly grow or was that something that was selectively bred? Were they originally naturally adapted to be going through a lot of foliage and thickets and stuff that would keep their coat relatively trimmed? by EuroTraschBozos

The gnu file utility can read the first few bytes of a file as a magic number to determine what kind of file it is.
There is a hacker magazine called POC or GTFO, meaning proof of concept.
The PDFs of that magazine can also be interpreted in various other ways. Files that you can do this with are called polyglots.
