It depends on how discreet youre trying to be - most mime's arent mute, and even if they were, the point of a silencer is to remove the noise the gun makes when it fires rather than the noise the victim makes when shot.

If the snow levels were that high, theyd probably walk. If you had a town where snowploughs were expected to be used often then it would make sense to ensure that snowplough drivers lived relativiely near their place of work.

|
It's derived from the latin 'abbreviatus' "Breviatus" means 'to shorten' (the root 'brevis' means 'short'). However the word 'abbreviate' can itself be abbreviated as 'abbrev.'.
Quote:

|
It's a government body. Most of the government's power is centered around having a monopoly when it comes to regulating bodies/force/etc.

Yes because they are crackers in the shape of animals.

Scientifically speaking, Teflon will not chemically bond to anything, but can be forced mechanically into small nooks and crannies. This slippery substance adheres to their surfaces once manufacturers sandblast them to roughen them, apply a primer, and embed the Teflon into the primer.

Teflon is a halogenoalkane.
According to Mista Wraith it doesn't bond with anything so it must be CxF2x+2 amirite

that seems like the kind of joke to make Jariki make an 'lol' post.
But I doubt he will.

That was supposed to be humourous, and not just stupid?

The question is meaningless. I think what you meant to ask was "Is the second law of thermodynamics breakable?" in which case, yes it is. Various quantum interactions can break it, and on a philosophical level Maxwell's Demon shows that it's a trend rather than a necessary result for any given interaction.

If you want something that's going to stand the test of time, look at Maxwell's Laws (or rather, the relativistic Maxwell laws) and Special Relativity.

Re: Random Questions and Answers
surely whilst on a system level entropy can be reversed, overall it's constantly increasing?
I thought that was the whole point

That's why I said asking if we can reverse entropy is meaningless. Well, sort of. It's meaningless because entropy is a measurement of a state, and not an action so you can't reverse it. If he said "reduce entropy" then it's either trivially true (open system) or an expression of the second law of thermodynamics (closed system), which brings us to what I said.

Re: Random Questions and Answers
I'm wondering about this one though "When blind people dream, do they see?"
I mean, do they dream they live their lives in the same way? Or do they actually dream they see stuff?
Cause if they dream they see stuff, they must have the most depressive wake-ups. Ever.

When non-blind people dream they don't "see" either (what exactly are you seeing in a pitch black room with your eyes closed?) You're remembering (or generating) visual-like stimuli in your brain. And thus it would depend (as it usually does) whether you had been born blind or not.
If you lost your vision today, you'd still being able to visualise things, but I guess that would fade like when you haven't seen something for a very long time. If you had been born blind then the narrative structure of your dream would probably be more verbal or auditory or something else. In most dreams when you talk about (or think about) you're pretty much generating them anyway, rather than specifically remembering things you "see" or "hear".

Re: Random Questions and Answers
I suggest throwing the body in the Hudson river in New York, the mafia has been doing it for a century now and it works just well for them.
