To clarify: I understand that it's possible for only very high level clouds, like cirrus clouds, to exist at a location, and be considered "the lowest level cloud." However I am talking about the lowest level possible, not the lowest cloud that exists at a certain time.

Usually when we see low level clouds there's an amorphous, puffy top but always a very smooth, flat bottom section if the cloud is low enough. Below this "line" no clouds form, bar exceptional weather. My question is whether this "line" where cloud bottoms flatten fluctuates greatly from place to place and how to estimate it if it does fluctuate.

Thank you!

There was an account that was accused of faking based on the evidence gathered from comments, posts, and membership of subreddits (it went something along the lines of, "how likely is it that this account is a member of this subreddit and has done/experienced all these things in life", which included, IIRC, getting shot). I think, but am not sure, that it was provoked by an IAmA. The account was later self-deleted and there was a post made saying that it was all real.

I think we get a misconstrued idea of what the majority of people think about something solely due to response bias. Only people who care respond and we forget to keep that in mind when reading.

I became… too passionate, one could say, about certain topics, pouring over comments to decide who was at fault in some controversy and allowed certain comments to impact the rest of my day.

It wasn't until I saw that most people don't really react the same way redditors or people on the Internet when I realized that I cared too much about minor issues. It seemed so important because everyone else (on reddit) was up in arms about a topic most people would not even give a second glance at.

This att

My parents' incompetence really shines through in their impulsiveness, quick temper, and general lack of direction. Being wiser than they are (though not by much) and unable to wield any authority, I don't know how I can improve the situation if they just won't listen.

Here's the general situation. My dad makes unnecessary negative comments, comes home nagging about whatever's on his mind, and generally does things that make no sense in the payoff matrix (giving instructions with a contemptuous, scornful comment added as a touch seems… simply irrational). He has nothing to do right now (although this is changing tomorrow as vacation's ending, but there will still be weekends) and whenever t

I don't know much when it comes to fashion and I couldn't find any pointers on the Internet as to the name of what she's wearing on her arms. Also, what are those blue things on her necklace?

I'm pretty this person died this year. White male historian, died in old age, reputed to have a great memory, wrote extensively, someone said he was one of the best historians of modern times. I saw him on the Wikipedia front page (? this may be wrong, since I've checked all over the archives for this guy). Wikipedia article has photo of him, black and white.

Either English or American.

Thanks guys!

I used to be really interested in Linux… I remembered that when I first got into Linux, Feisty Fawn 7.04 was the current distribution of Ubuntu (I keep time by Ubuntu releases). I stopped following at around the time of 9.10 and 10.04. From then own, I only occasionally saw Linux news, so some of the later releases of Ubuntu sound vaguely familiar to me, however, recently I haven’t been looking at news at all. I’ve never heard of “Precise Pangolin” or “Quantal Quetzal.”

I’ve heard of some important events like Debian Squeeze and Linux 3.0… but that’s it. So, what have I missed? What controversies have I missed? Is Linux still growing? I remember that it had a really big momentum “back then”

There are some cases in English where contractions can't be used. For example, "that's not the kind of person he's." "He is" cannot be contracted into "he's" in this case.

I want to know the rules behind it… but the only information I've found on the Internet so far is "don't use contractions in formal writing" which is far from what I'm asking.

I was reading an NY Times article when I stumbled upon a slideshow of Nigeria. One of the pictures was of a school, and on the blackboard were the words "metamorphic, igneous, sedimentary, Earth's crust" and some other basic Earth science vocabulary. I thought to myself, "this is just like what we learn here in the states!"

So how is school in your country? How are classes conducted? What do your textbooks look like?

I was looking around the reference section of my library yesterday and saw a 1600 page English grammar reference. I'm wondering if there's the equivalent in Spanish, comparable to "Le Bon Usage" for French.

Currently I find get all these words from TV, articles, and website interfaces for my target language. I've been keeping them in a Google Docs spreadsheet, but I'm wondering if there's anything better, since Google Docs is kinda slow… preferably accessible from anywhere.

There's a website called "wordnik" which is a dictionary that allows you to maintain your own lists of words, however, it is English only.

That is, how did your parents learn to cook the foods that they do? I've been wondering about this…

For example in Spanish you would have to include every single conjugation of a verb, plus all the clitics for the infinitive and gerund (ex, "darle", "darselo", "escribiendole"). Someone told me that they simply generate all the combinations, but I can't see this working for a language with a lot of declension and conjugation.

Also, how do dictionaries handle German compound nouns?
