Check Etsy. Can find some high quality buttons there too usually priced a lot better. Usually some combination of 3D-Printed and silicone-cast resin so lots of glossy options but I have seen matte ones as well. $20-30 range (USD)

definitely more common now at least in my area. When I was a kid goodwill and value village were charging $40 for an old beat up snes or n64 and that was the whole clothes budget for me and my three siblings.

Friend ended up giving me a gamecube in middle school and that was my first console.

Officers later checked his room, where they discovered excrement smeared across the floor. Police lieutenant Thanawee Yarangsee said: ‘We have some ideas about what he was doing in the room to make it so dirty but there was nothing illegal

I'm going to regret this, but what was he doing?

Ever heard the saying "if one guy is an asshole, he's an asshole. If everyone is an asshole, you're the asshole"?

Not saying you're an asshole, but that is to say you're the only one defending your viewpoint, and you are welcome to it. But we'd all appreciate consideration of the information as opposed to the offense you seem to be taking.

Nuance exists everywhere in our complicated world.

The example that springs to mind is when we discovered that Archimedes invented the foundations of calculus long before Newton and Leibniz. The argument typically goes that the foundations of mathematics would be much further along had this discovery been realized but many others argue that we would have had no practical way to apply it in the time that Archimedes lived.

Now the part that I think you are missing is that the interesting part is not only that we now know that a new number is prime, but that knowing that a number is prime involves verifying that a number is prime and the larger the number is, the more difficult it is to verify so this almost always involves landmark advances in math and computing. Especially since prime numbers are distributed asymptotically meaning they are typically a few orders of magnitude larger than the previous one.

Not just an engineer thing though. Everyone finds it obnoxious.

Enceladus, a moon of Saturn is actually mostly water, but salt has been found in volcanic emissions ejected into space.

That said it's not impossible that conditions exist somewhere in the universe where you have H2O and no NaCl since that is the salt we usually mean when we talk about salt water. Unfortunately it is not the only thing found to be mixing with water as on Jupiter, liquid water does exist but it mixes with amonia.

that would be because electric eels are fish, not eels.

On my phone but see phylogeny https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_eel

Wow is right. That man probably voided his warranty if he blended her feet.
