Sorry, Americans won't be changing the spelling any time soon. You may have also noticed American English users dropping letters like the "u" from honour, and colour, and commonly swapping letters like "s" for "c" in defense/defence.
If this isn't enough to drive you insane yet, American English completely mixes up the meaning of whole words! Look at boot and bonnet. Those are clothing items, not car parts. How about pants and trousers? For Americans, trousers are pants, maybe just a little nicer and more formal. I am certain entire books have already been written on this subject.

Made "with" gunpowder, to launch the graphite disk. It's not made "of" gunpowder any more than my shoes are made of electricity. It's still diamond made of pure carbon. It's just arranged a bit differently due to the intense compression. That compression is so intense that the diamonds are destroyed by the same impact that created them.
Each process happened in several billionths of a second, or nanoseconds, but the researchers were able to make the stiffness measurements before the high velocity impact destroyed the diamond.

What a lucky and happy ending!

On the plus side, she can use chopsticks again now!

That's cool and all, but what happens when it's in a wreck and the material gets shorted out?
Does it catch fire and burn like a car-sized road flare?

Thing is, many domains have "privacy protections" from the registrars that hide anything useful behind a shell "owner." Still, it is useful sometimes.
Of course, who owns a domain, the registrar for the domain, and who's running the web hosting are sometimes not connected at all. Domains don't even have to be used for websites, email, or any particular services of any kind either.

Smashing!
Of course, this is an interesting solution to bulky trash, but I wonder how profitable it is to just drive around and compact junk instead of hauling it away to compact at the point of delivery.

So long as they make it GLASS, and durable glass at that. The plastic on the original was a mistake, especially for something that has a good chance of being handled by kids.
It'd be cool if they can upscale the original games to 4k. I'd love to play Okami in 4k.

Not just salmon either. Some meat is packed in a vacuum or in nitrogen or carbon dioxide to preserve color. The packing process doesn't kill bacteria so the meat still spoils, but it doesn't turn greyish green. It can still develop a slimy coating and rancid smell, but you can't see/feel/smell that easily while it's still packaged.
Of course people are much more likely to buy something close to expiration if it still looks fresh, so in the long run it's probably a good way to cut down on food waste. There's a lot of stuff that goes into making food shelf appeal last.

This is old, old news. There's videos of this on Youtube from a dozen years ago.

I figured it would have been a Cray of some kind.

Motors inside your window dragging air through between the panes? This is an insulation and maintenance nightmare. I cannot see this product taking off.

Some of these are allegedly forced on directors and screenwriters by the studio executives who insist that they be added to increase the appeal to female audiences. Love stories can be important and critical to a movie's plot, but the Marvel Cinematic Universe doesn't feel like it's missing out here.
