Q: Book with illegal futuristic car racing, interplanetary travel

VendettaI read only a part of this book maybe a decade ago, and I've been searching for it since. All I remember is: Female protagonist, futuristic setting, possibly a teenager, participating in illegal races, gets caught, but is offered the chance to race professionally. At this point I believe she is f...

Q: Searching for young adult "survival tale" involving plane crash, poison

Lynne-Ann AbrahamsIn the 1990's - between 1990 and 1993 (I don't remember the exact year), we had an assigned reader for English literature at school. This was South Africa (Cape Town) and it was a private school. It was a soft cover. The book had a short title. The story was about a plane crash and the man who su...

forgive me for the extra ping, just to be sure that no one gets that wrong.
I didn't want to imply the Jar Jar question is a troll, a joke or bad. Just very odd and something many other sites would probably close fast. The actual joke was proposing a similar yet probably unanswerable question about Teen Titan GO :P

Q: Anime with an app that predicts how and when you die. The protagonist can summon a white lion on a phone application

aziiAnime with an app that predicts how and when you die. The protagonist died in the train incident (not sure), and after waking up he can summon a white lion on a phone application. I forgot the title and I remembered it airing on HERO TV.

Q: Film where the scalp of the co-pilot of a plane is removed during flight

virolino20+ years ago (possibly even 30+ years ago) I saw some movie, I only remember one short scene. I want to find the movie, so I can watch and understand what was going on. The place: the cockpit of an airplane (most likely, passenger airplane), during flight. Angle: The camera was "looking" towards...

Q: How is Noor connected to other books by Nnedi Okorafor?

rainbowgoblinThis excellent answer describes the connections between many of Nnedi Okorafor, but doesn't include Noor, which was published more recently. Okorafor commented on a Twitter post containing a connection diagram between her books, clarifying: My forthcoming novel NOOR is in the same world as my sh...

@Marvin don't some of Hulk side power actually fit the Required secondary powers trope in the first place? Not so evident as the human torch being immune to his own fire and such but still there.
See the "Decimation" arc in Marvel comics if my memory serves.

Has anyone noticed weird behaviour with the "inbox" button in the top action bar? If I have messages and I click on it, it drops down the recent items. But if I click again to dismiss it, it also navigates me to the "inbox" page.
Yes, they rolled out some broken changes, t's been reported on Meta.SE.

Q: Clicking to close the inbox redirects to the full inbox on stackexchange.com

BarmarAfter I open the inbox by clicking on the navbar icon, clicking on it again used to just close the inbox. Today, the second click redirects me to my full-page inbox, https://stackexchange.com/users/<userid>/<username>?tab=inbox. The workaround is to press Escape to close the inbox (although this ...

Ah, thank you. Saves me from wasting my time. :)
(It also broke keyboard shortcuts.)
Aha. I did notice the appearance change to the Achievements menu, just hadn't connected it. FWIW, if you're using the mouse you can dismiss the menu by clicking on a blank area of the screen; you don't have to find ESC.

Q: Who/what is Tom Bombadil

LoreMasterMorgoth- His size, form and power. There are clear canonical references in the Silmarillion of 1st age elves standing before Melkor as prisoners. The reference says they were seen standing 'about his knees' (as high as his knees) while he was on his throne (sitting). This is casual scene meani...

Q: Book where the main character lives in a sci-fi dystopia and is "sorted" and gets powers

Yoga Cat StudiosThe main character is male, everyone gets sorted/goes through some scanner thing and it's usually fine. For some reason his mom gets sorted red and I can't remember if she dies because of that? It might be like some sort of culling thing. The world seems like pre-transformation Pretties/Uglies/Sp...

Wow, they really did a good job on that, didn't they? :)
Oh, I have another bug report, I'm just waiting until tomorrow to post it :P

Q: Identifying a comedy in a post apocalypse world where robots are in charge. The main characters being teenage robots in a high school

HauntedfridgeI was a kiddo when I last saw this, but it was a ranchy high school comedy (like late 2000s early 2010s?). The two protagonist were teenagers (unpopular) the main one was a skinny nerd robot. I think it was on adult swim possibly? The other character was fat comedic relief. I believe the series h...

Q: Why is spirituality “valued” more than science in the Star Wars galaxy?

MaxIt occurred to me that despite the galaxy only containing 10,000 Jedi and likely 1% of beings in the galaxy are connected to the Force; everyone seems to value Force spirituality over hard science. Look how tech and science only seem to progress in military fields. The citizens have confirmed the...

Q: What is the RotS Yuuzhan Vong quote?

Blue Skin and Glowing Red EyesI’ve seen it be referenced several times on this website, and despite reading my copy of Revenge of the Sith, couldn’t find it. Edit: My copy of the book is Scholastic, written by Patricia C. Wrede “based on the story and screenplay by George Lucas” (front cover). It has a couple of color picture...
