It already explains that this matter exists, and is even used by humans: as packing peanuts.

Considering that a major selling point for the iPad Air is that it's slightly thinner, I wouldn't put it past them to add gift-wrapping as a standard feature on their products.
"I've only got a 12 volt battery, captain! I don't have the power!"
Eventually it started locking up every patch Tuesday, so I just killed automatic updates..... problem solved.
Good plan. It's not like it will find any updates after EOL, anyway.
Out of curiosity, is it a crime to refuse to give a password, or a crime to refuse to give the correct password?
Not that obvious to me. I imagined that it would be quite simple to have a microcontroller that takes a reading from a GPS module, runs a small calculation on the radius around a specific coordinate, and reacts accordingly.
Must make moving problematic.
A broken clock might be missing the hour, minute, or second hand. Is it ever "right"?
Not to mention that I've yet to encounter a clock that compensates for the amount of time it takes for light to travel from the clock face to my eyes, as well as the time it takes for my brain to process that information.
When watching science fiction made a few decades ago, one thing that bothered me was that the technology had a lot of fancy LEDs/bulbs that flashed but apparently did nothing else.
See any console on the original Star Trek, or Al's handheld during the first season of Quantum Leap.
But now it makes total sense. They were notification LEDs! Notifying about EVERYTHING!
Maybe Thor recalibrated it when Nick Fury sent Asgard the repair bill.
The minions had minions?
Sounds like a tough career ladder.
An astronaut moves through space.
An aquanaut moves through water.
So does a robonaut... move through robots?
Must be a side effect from using the Bifrost.
Should have posted a sign: "Bifrost travel may be hazardous to your health."
Well, if the Asgard are essentially the masters of the Nine Realms (aka universe), and Thor was going to be made king... then the theme would have fit quite well.
If the first car hadn't been stationary at a green light, the accident wouldn't have happened.
Why stop there? Why not just get rid of the lights? While we're at it, why not just get rid of all intersections everywhere and make the road a large, continuous loop? After all, if there are no intersections, then nobody can stop at an intersection to get rear-ended.
It's legally 100% the following car's fault when rear-ending a vehicle, here in NSW Australia, anyway. The reasoning? If there is an intersection and you crash into the car in front, then you were supposed to have seen the car in front and had plenty of time and space to slow down. The driver is likely focusing on the lights and the intersection, making sure that it's safe and permissable to proceed, instead of looking in their mirrors. If you're driving along and you crash into the car in front, even if they braked suddenly, then it's still your fault because you were tail-gating, which is also illegal.
