It might have been motivated by an insatiable hunger for donuts.

Something very spicy with rice, since I love both of those things dearly

I pronounce it both ways. This sometimes strikes people as odd, but I will use both American and British spellings, units of measurement, and pronunciations depending on what I vibe with at the time.

This is entirely different when I'm speaking in Spanish though, as I'll always use Mexican Spanish pronunciations.

I took this quiz and got Mean Girls!

"You got: Mean Girls

All you want to do is fit in! Maybe it's just with the wrong crowd. You are easy-going and fun to be with, but at times people take advantage of that fact and mistreat you. It may be frustrating, but everyone is different! And you gotta remember that!"

The whole field of stem cell research really excites me because it has so many potential applications. This is amazing news and makes me all the more excited for similar breakthroughs in the future!

Yes, mostly to research charities.

Yup, that's how it should be across the board. That's how it is with modern airliners. The redundancy of having each system be controlled by multiple computers is nullified if a hacker can get to control all of them, including the ones which are safety critical, just by hacking one. I honestly don't blame you, I love the internet but there really are situations where something really doesn't need to be connected to the internet.

Why does a car need to be connected to the internet? A reliable rule of conduct in aeronautics is that systems which are deemed critical to safety are air gapped from the systems which are connected to the internet, so in the event that those systems are compromised by malware or hackers, the safety critical systems won't also be compromised.

Why is it seemingly taking automotive manufacturers so long to catch on to this principle? Before anyone mentions downloadable features, I do not see that as a means of justification. Like with videogames, if you're paying good money for a product, that product should already be finished by release. Hiding content that should already exist on a car is egregious and the normalisation of it incentivizes manufacturers to release vehicles that are incomplete and should not have been released in their current state.

Grape. When I am eating Skittles they are consistently the last remaining ones in the bag...

When I was little, I enjoyed "inventing" things, or drawing designs for things, mostly consisting of aircraft or space ships. One of them was a sub that was constructed out of transparent inflatable plastic, similar to a Zorb ball, so you'd have an unobstructed view of the ocean. It was tear drop shaped and the appeal of the Zorb ball construction was that it'd be comfortable to lie in as you roamed the depths of the ocean. As I got older I learned more about physics and realised what a terrible idea that would actually be.
