This thread is for quick questions. A "quick question" is a question which has a relatively quick, generally factual answer; a question which is not likely to inspire an extended discussion.
e.g.
Quick Question: How tall is an average ten-year-old boy?
Not a Quick Question: Why are Americans obsessed with guns?
Quick Question: Why is ALS sometimes called Lou Gehrig's Disease? Who was Lou Gehrig?
Not a Quick Question: In Alan Dean Foster's Thranx Commonwealth series, is Pip a Mary Sue?

So I guess Realemon is not good?

"Eratoeir is a Gangsta."
A cursory Google search suggests that ReaLemon might be close enough to actual lemon juice to at least be useful as a cleaning product. Instructions for using real lemon juice on laundry vary from one cup per load of laundry to one cup per gallon of water used for washing, and different articles claim it should be poured directly onto stains, while others claim that you need to soak the entire garment in a sink full of the water-and-lemon solution. Obviously, spot-test the lemon juice on some article of clothing or inconspicuous spot that you don't care about first, but it seems to me that the worst thing that'll happen is it just won't do anything.

Look like I need to save up of Oxiclean White or Ultra Stain Release from Tide.
I thought sharks were my friends.
EDIT: Nevermind. This question might be better for ATT.

Are there programs that can give people free transportation?

That depends on your location and your circumstances.

I see. Who do you contact that can help with you with picking you up to work and take you back for 'free'?

Quick question: I created this page about a video game, but instead of putting the category as VideoGame, I accidentally put it as VideoGames, and I only realised right now. Is there a way to change that?

I don't know of an easier way than copying the source text into "VideoGames/that article" and flagging the original for deletion. But I also don't know how to flag an article for moderator attention.

Hmm. Do you think I can just flag my above post and see what the response is?

I think Forum moderation and Wiki moderation are mostly separate, but they should be able to point you in the right direction.

Typically, from fish, with added color and flavor.
Specialists can take a bullet and match it to the gun that fired it, because each gun's striations and the like leave unique markings on that fired bullet. But, if a railgun or coilgun fired a bullet, would someone be able to forensically link that bullet to the gun that fired it?
Lost in Space
Not necessarily. A magnetically accelerated projectile should never come into physical contact with the barrel and thus would not receive scoring or other marks that would allow a traditional ballistics match. There may be other properties that could be tested, however, such as heating, warping, residual magnetic fields, etc. Depending on the technology, there could also be markings associated with the carrier if the projectile is not free-fired.
If railguns/coilguns ever become a real issue for forensics examiners, they'll have to invent techniques to solve these problems.

A lot of the time in fiction a bunch of guys from the mob will walk into a family business, threaten the owners and demand money for "Protection." I know its a racket and illegal and all that, but if, say, a bunch of gang-bangers did cause trouble for a business owner that was paying the mob "Protection," would the mob take steps to stop those gang-bangers?
