The muscles that flex for me are the ones in the back of my head. If you place your hand on the back of your head directly between your ears (so just about where your skull begins to curve in and your neck muscles begin) it's the ones just on either side of the center line that do the flexing and pull my ears back. Try imagining scrunching up the back of your head.

Yes. Their jaw muscles are designed to hold prey, so their bite down is incredibly powerful. Unfortunately, most of their muscle mass is dedicated to that single action, not the other way. That's why you can hold their mouths shut with rubber bands or your bare hands, if need be.

So, I've never liked that phrase. What happens when you drain a swamp? You remove all the stagnant water and dead-zones. But what is left behind? He said he would drain the swamp, not remove the scum.

I like this. It's giving me Scooby Doo vibes.

It's the expected response for the punchline. The twist is he's deaf so he doesn't hear the question to give the delivery.

The amount of pain depends on the circumstances, but "tiny bit" doesn't come close to the reality. There can be a lot of physical pain, but there is also a HUGE emotional component that comes with it and will linger a lot longer than the physical pain.

My wife and I experienced three. There is a period of mourning because it does feel like a loss, especially for her.

I had assumed they were, but I'd never heard anything confirming it.

You are correct. The title is poorly worded. I believe it is supposed to read "Google was not the first to come out with wearable tech before Meta..."

The X-Files. The direction they took after Robert Patrick joined just did not work and felt like a spinoff more than part of the main series.

It's been a while since I saw the movie, but seeing the concept art for the stones made me realize how well the symbols work for what they represent. I don't know why it took me this long to see it.

And the concept art for Diva looks fantastic!

It's metaphorical. To drop a camera into the (physical) hole is to take your first step into the (rabbit) hole of research and discovery.
