How does the day-to-day work of not wearing shoes in the house?
TIL I learned some people wear shoes all the time. What a time to be alive.

I understand you miss it. Most of us do too. But Reddit decided they didn't need us. So just let it die on it's own. We don't need it anymore.

Is it more respectful to use more current photos of people who have died? Or is it better to use photos from their "prime"?
US Funeral Director here, You should use the best more recent photo that you have. The purpose of the obituary photo is recognition by people who may not know the name.
If you want to have two photos, you could do a recent photo, and a prime photo, but the recent photo is more important. The prime photo only has significance to the family.

I will not be taking questions.
Sure, that's great and all, but the creator of the Gif says the wrong way to say it so... the creator is not always right.

Leaked Cables Show White House Opposes Palestinian Statehood
The diplomatic cable includes a rationale for the administration’s opposition to the vote, citing the risk of inflaming tensions, political backlash, and potentially leading to the U.S. Congress cutting U.N. funding.
“Premature actions at the UNSC, even with the best intentions, will achieve neither statehood nor self-determination for the Palestinian people. Such initiatives will instead endanger normalization efforts and drive the parties further apart, heighten the risk of violence on the ground that could claim innocent lives on both sides, and risk support for the new, reform government announced by President Abbas,” the cable says.
These reasonings are all real possibilities.

"One of a kind" means unique, but "two of a kind" implies quite common
'Two of a kind' means a pair that are just alike. It does not speak to the commonality of the item or persons.

What's a good name for a black cat?
We named our black cat Alcatraz but it didn't stick, mainly because I started calling him Darkness. Cause you'd go into a dark room and accidentally sit on him. You had to learn to look for this darker spot in the dark. Our youngest child couldn't say darkness and what he said sounded like Dennis so now we call him Dennis.

Signs of spiders from Mars | ESA
Rather than being actual spiders, these small, dark features form when spring sunshine falls on layers of carbon dioxide deposited over the dark winter months. The sunlight causes carbon dioxide ice at the bottom of the layer to turn into gas, which subsequently builds up and breaks through slabs of overlying ice. The gas bursts free in martian springtime, dragging dark material up to the surface as it goes and shattering layers of ice up to a metre thick.
