Orange: Problems with the English language

Sun, 15 Jun 2025 00:35:51 -0700

If an Orange is orange why isn't a palindrome spelled like one? Shouldn't it be like a pallap? or palinilap? These things keep me awake at night.

Why is it spelled opossum? But the plural of opossum is possum. But the State park is Possum Kingdom?

If you answer to many questions you go nuts.

Orange: Why does my orange have a green fuzzy spot?

Thu, 21 Dec 2023 10:22:11 -0700

I was disassembling my orange when the anti-tampering mechanism turned on for the fifth time and sprayed my already stinging eyes. So I left the basement (where I do all my work) and decided to have a go on it the next day. However when I came back the was a green fuzzy spot where I had removed the outer shell. Is this normal?

Strawberry: If I buy a satchel of these in a shop, will those seeds re-spawn them?

Sun, 01 Oct 2023 21:59:31 -0700

So, since I don't need to extract the seed to gain access to the internals, could I use this seed to re-spawn this item, so I don't have to keep paying the shopkeep for them?

Fire: Should I disassemble and then reassemble something that works?

Sun, 01 Oct 2023 21:59:23 -0700

I am trying to get into repair/ improve my repairing skills primarily of the various damaged electronics we have lying around but also noticed on the site there are teardown guides and I'm wondering if that is a good way to expand my knowledge/ skills is to teardown phones and other things like lawnmowers for example even if they work. Is that a good idea? I'm afraid if I do teardown something that works I won't be able to get it going again and not have a clue why it's not working. Thoughts?

I can't tell if I have a banana or avocado or maybe a dog? I might even have a mink pelt. I just wish there was a way to see if what I was holding and attempting to eat is actually a banana.
