@Rainb I like teaching things in new ways so that people understand better. :)
 
:)
 
@ElizB Huh what?

Q: How do we know if an answer is correct?

emptyThis is kind of a meta question and I'm sort of "thinking aloud" so bear with me, give me constructive criticism and I'll edit the question to reflect that.

@ExtrovertedMainMan I'm not sure identification requests like this are a good thing for IPS? Our terminology tag is more about the reverse (explain this term) instead of gimme this term, and I don't see what the politeness tag is doing there either?

@Tinkeringbell maybe it is about politeness.
 
@Tinkeringbell There already was a meta question. Good. I closed it as off-topic.

Q: How do big groups of people form?

Matin N.Well recently I was watching a talent show, and there was a group of people who mocked some movie characters. The original group consists of about 100 people but there were only a few of them present at the show. My question is: How did these people get together in the first place? How did the pe...

Q: Medical Device Adoption

gatorbackA stubborn 80 year old is prone to falling: a cellular Applewatch with fall detection enabled would seem to be a good safeguard. What strategies are effective to convince geriatric luddites to adopt such technology?
