IIRC, it wasn't muggle shock, it's just what wizards did up until plumbing was common. It does kind make one question why they would invest so much into fixing what they seemingly considered a solved issue though.

The fanfic Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality is a fun foil to this aspect of the series. It absolutely is a bit pretentious and preachy at points, but the genuine exploration of what is possible in the established system was pretty fun imo.
It's not the wrong reason, nor is it an argument that hair doesn't belong there. All it is is a counter to the logic that supports her conclusion, but it doesn't dispute the conclusion itself.
IIRC Cap's shield is actually proto-adamantium. They were never able to recreate the formula, and base adamantium is the closest they could get.
Someone else has broken down a lot of examples, but in the broader sense, around half of states, a little more than half IIRC, have an age of consent of 16. The reason 18 is so well known is that's the age of consent where so much of our media is made, California.
Strange my Galaxy by default has several alternate t options, /, þ, ť, ț, and ţ. Þþ for thorn and Đđ for eth, though when handwritten lowercase eth is usually ð. The buzzing vs breathy sound is called voiced or unvoiced, respectively. Þorn is used for the voiceless sound in þing, while eđ is used for the voiced sound in đat.
Generally it's used for both voiced and voiceless forms by hipsters and most of its historical use. There was a relatively short time eth was used for voiced th in English, but they became interchangeable for either sound quickly, and then eth fell out of use.
Long press T. But if you want to be a real hipster use eth instead by ling pressing D. Way, way back when, in English one was used for the sound in that, and one was used for the sound in thing. Pretty quickly they became interchangeable, and eth totally fell out of use. But if people want to bring one back, I say use them both.
IIRC, it doesn't actually pay the game itself. We prod the cells, they fire in a certain way and that response is read to convert it to an output for the game. The cells aren't a rudimentary Doom bot, they're the controller.
Too be fair, TGA doesn't seem to have historically given a lot of weight to the last spot. And they probably should, because of the public perception of the last spot being inherently prestigious. But it doesn't seem like they were trying to say it's some sort of capstone or anything. By all accounts he just thought it looked neat and threw it in the last open spot.
From some interviews, it sounds like it was just an ambitious mess that didn't have good testers. IIRC, they said something about everyone pitching 5 ideas every day, and added a couple each time. And it really shows, it is some kind of franken-monster that combines all kinds of ideas that make a patchwork of meh. And then the testers they had either all worked on the game, or were friends with those that did, and nobody wanted to be a downer so they always gave positive feedback.

.... my dumb ass thought it meant roux. And I thought that would be uncomfortable to return. Not sure I've ever seen it spelled before looking it up just now.
