Q: Did the Ministry of Magic ever employ muggles?

user13267Do we know if the Ministry ever employed muggles to do anything, either on a contract or part time basis? I am talking about actual paid work, where the muggle may or may not know he is working for the ministry, and he may or may not be obliviated afterwards. I remember that a muggle was employed...

Q: And so I slew him for the presumption

GloweyeThis quote has been in my mind for a while, thinking about using it in my own writings. [A god has done something gods tend to do, but relating to the speaker], and so I slew him/it for the presumption. I can recall reading it, but I can't recall where. Given my own tastes, it's probably fantas...

Q: Need help in identifying this action figure

shanuI was going through my old toys when i came across this - I remember getting this around 2016-2017 from London, can somebody please help me in identifying this character? I am pretty sure we can rule out Ben 10.

@Donald.McLean Ahoy! I loved the IR view of Jupiter. The detail is incredible, considering the distance it was shot from. (I.e. not as good as Galileo or Cassini, but a massive improvement from the Hubble shots of the Shoemaker-Levy impact.)

@Donald.McLean bleep bloop
How's things?

Not too bad. I hadn't heard about the Jupiter image. That's cool.
What's really interesting is the difference between the view at 2.12 microns (the photogenic one) and the one shot at 3.23 microns, which is basically just a blob: blogs.nasa.gov/webb/2022/07/14/…
Jupiter isn't really all that cold compared to some of the stuff they want to observe, so that isn't really surprising.
To my layman's eye, it looks like the one at 2.12 microns is a combination of reflected sunlight and partially-transmitted internal heat: The bright regions in the North and South Equatorial Belts are concentrated towards the centre of Jupiter, so probably reflected sunlight, while the polar regions are uniformly bright, so more likely radiated heat.
Whereas the 3.23 micron image seems to be dominated by Jupiter's overall heat emissions.
@Donald.McLean That makes a lot of sense; Jupiter would be relatively hot compared to distant galaxies.

Q: How is Gorr able to heal from the Necrosword?

Peter NielsenIn the opening scene of Thor: Love and Thunder, Gorr slices his hand on the Necrosword as he crawls into the oasis of a god. However, his hand heals near instantaneously. How did this happen? Was it the Necrosword's magic? Does Gorr's species have powers? It's evident his daughter does.

Q: Help me find this book!

Regina HuntI’ve been looking everywhere for a particular book that I read years ago. All I can remember is that it was kids with powers who took a bunch of tests to join a special group. The guy that gives them the tests is very unusual. I know it’s not much to go on but it’s driving me crazy.
