Absolutely, I don't disagree with that.

I was just sharing my anecdote as a counterpoint to your minor rhetorical point at the end, because at least to me, it's funny since eating ice cream outside at -10 degrees is a ridiculous thing to do.

Though, I will note that while ice cream won't melt at those temperatures, at atmospheric pressure it will still sublimate. So, in that way you could still lose your ice cream without intervention, it would just take a while.

This is one case where introducing logical operators into written language could be helpful.

I have eaten ice cream outside when temperatures were sub-zero Fahrenheit. It's not something I do regularly but it's happened and will probably happen again.

If I want ice cream, then I want ice cream. No other considerations matter.

I think the word you're looking for is "racist."

I think it was Mako Iwamatsu.

Greg Baldwin was the temporary fix that became permanent and can no longer hold together.

Yes. The flame is a cloud of gas and particulate heated to the point that it glows. It will reflect light. Just not a lot, and it's also emitting enough light to overpower any reflected light in most conditions.

And of course the candle itself reflects light.

But they still do. It might just be overpowered by the emitted light.

Natural monopolies have nothing to do with natural resources. They exist when the barrier to entering a specific market is fundamentally high enough that it's unreasonable to expect anyone to be able to enter the market and compete against an established player.

A couple of good examples would be utilities and ISPs.

I did not remember correctly, kind of. From AOSP, Android 7 and later use file-based encryption (FBE) rather then full-disk encryption (FDE). FBE is dependant on verified boot, which itself requires a locked bootloader.

Custom ROMs may have back ported FDE, modified FBE, or implemented their own encryption.

I feel like that one isn't that hard to remember because "its" stands out as a common exception to the rule for possessive singular nouns.

"It's" is a contraction of "it is" while "its" is possessive.
