"... what appears to be a missing mandible." I'm trying to imagine scenarios that make this wording make sense. "It appeared to be a missing mandible but due to a rare mutation, it was actually a missing hand." or "It appeared to be a missing mandible but really it was just so small we couldn't find it."

Good news! That operation has been underway in the guise of recycling for some time now.

I love how everyone evidently knows what dinosaurs sound like.

Sorry if I was unclear. I'm in agreement with you that hot plates degrade coffee. I was recommending the let it cool down and heat it back up later approach.

The cooler coffee is, the longer it stays tasting good. Making an extra cup or two and letting it sit at room temp for an hour or two and then heating it up in the microwave works for me. Too large a quantity may not cool down fast enough, and if you heat it back up to scalding that can have an negative effect.

So then if you get caught and these are taken away from you, I assume you can declare it as a loss and get an equivalent deduction the next year? I wonder if anyone's ever used this to their advantage to game their tax rates?

I don't find that theory all that convincing. A hawk is also a name for a hand tool, one which, like a handsaw is a piece of sheet metal attached to a wooden handle, but configured and used rather differently. So the phrase makes plenty of sense without having to introduce some theoretical typo.

And he subcontracted it to an alien from a non-euclidean universe.

The font that makes comic sans look stodgy.

The way you use caution saying something in a public place that you don't want everyone to hear is by keeping your voice down so that only certain people can hear it. Without privacy settings there is no equivalent to that.
