Also, more basically, the globe is a sphere. It's impossible to have all straight lights in a ball. They would be unnecessarily close at one part and unreasonably far at another part.

A crowd of people or a speech can both be fluid, for instance.

Reply to LPT: If you own a car in a cold climate, purchase a windshield cover + mirror covers. You'll save time and be less frustrated since you'll have less to scrape or clean off from your car by cumulus_floccus
As someone who lives somewhere where it occasionally gets to -40 in the dead of winter, this would just be more inconvenient. I've lived here my entire life and I have never heard of anyone using anything like those.
Snow removal is not an issue. Sometimes you do have to scrap ice but if you had a cover you'd be have a cover stuck to your car and still have to scrape ice. Then you'd have to store the covers somewhere. Not everyone has a garage to store the covers in. And if they did have a garage, the covers would be pointless.
Just scrape the ice for a few minutes as your car warms up. We have just learned to cope with it.

But spacecrafts do have windows. And they literally have life-saving air filters.

A cup is a unit of measurement equal to 250ml.

Music videos are best viewed on Youtube.
I'd rather see music themed shows on MTV. Behind the Music, all music Jeopardy, making of music videos, and things like that.

Reply to comment by mr3vak in LPT At Wendy's, you can get a premium bun for FREE on ANY burger, which makes it so much better. You just have to ask, or customize it on one of their kiosks. by McFreddieMercury
An unexplained opinion is hardly an LPT.
