Question: Can same style-different colored shirts labeled the same size still differ in size? When I buy two same style but different colored shirts, one shirt still sometimes feels bigger than the other. Why is that?

Answer: Yes, the shirts being a different size is normal. Even though they are the same style they might have been made differently when being made and thus making one shirt a slightly different size than the other. Not completely the same, but this happened to me with shorts once. I wanted the same style of shorts, but one in a dark wash and one in a lighter wash. When I tried on the dark wash they fit perfectly, but when I tried the lighter one, they barely got to my waist and trying to button them was torture. I made sure they were both the same size and they were. So, back to the point, it is very common for that to happen.

Question: How is interracial marriage and same sex marriage the same? Marrying a member of the same gender is not the same as marrying a person of a different race because race and gender are not parallel, they’re not the same and here’s why. There is no difference between a white human and a black human’s psyche, but there are immense differences between a man and a woman’s psyche. Men and women are equal but not the same. If you are attracted to men and not women (regardless of your gender) you notice that men and women are not the same too, if you are attracted to women and not men (regardless of your gender) you notice that men and women are not the same also. A lot of these traditional marriage beliefs also have to do with children. People who are against same-sex marriage, believe children should think when they grow up they will get married, they should not have to think at 5 or 6 years old, am I going to marry a boy or a girl, children today face enough sexual confusion without adding that. When it comes to raising children, most people believe that two men can not replace 1 good mother’s role in a (boy or girl) child’s development, and most people believe two women can not replace 1 good father’s role in a (boy or girl) child’s development. I don’t think two men could replace my mother and give me the things my mother gave me, and I don’t think two women could replace my father and give me the things my father gave me, and that’s how most of the people who are against gay marriage feel. Thinking men and women both have different, but equally important qualities, is legit. The argument is some homosexuals believe in same sex marriage, since gays are discriminated against they feel we should redefine marriage, because they want to have their relationships honored in the law, but the same argument could be said for Muslims and polygamy. Some Muslims believe in polygamy, since Muslims are discriminated against should we redefine marriage to where polygamy is legal, because they want to have their relationships honored in the law? For those of you who want to just call me hateful, a bigot, or homophobic, for a respectful, civil, legitimate, argument without articulating a response, just leave your stupid comment and move on.

Answer: The two types of marriage are not in themselves the same. They are legally similar. The opponents of either like to equate them to get a knee-jerk reaction. What they are is legally similar. Both involve an assumed right to pursue happiness (marriage) -- most Americans assume marriage is something people in generally should be allowed. Both involve less common partners than the status quo. Both were/are often opposed by the majority. Both were subject to an attempted constitutional ban. And, like interracial marriage, I fear that same-sex marriage will need the Supreme Court to finally step in before it will become an equal right. Looking at their histories, the two situations are more similar than not. You can't generalize that opposite sex parents are better just because you had them and feel you had an ideal upbringing. I've known several people with same-sex parents; they all turned out healthy and well-adjusted (and not that it matters, but heterosexual as well). I can't say the same for all the people I've known with opposite-sex parents -- there are some messed up people out there. If I were to generalize from that, it certainly would support same-sex parenting. But I don't generalize like that -- it's not fair. People raise their children as best they can, whether it's two mothers or one mother and one father. I won't call you hateful, nor bigot (though that shoe could fit mighty well). It's just ignorance, and that's forgivable and curable. In any case, unless you're planning to marry someone of the same gender, it really isn't something you should be weighing in on too heavily.

Question: What do you do when somebody wears the same clothes as you do? Not too long ago I bought a top online. I love the top, but when I went to work, there was a young girl who passed by who was wearing the same top. Now it is embarrassing to wear it. To make things worse, I saw the girl again and we were wearing the same jeans. I usually like to dress surfer-beachy and wear brands such as Billabong and Roxy. The thing is that I see little girls wearing the same brands and clothes. It is embarrassing to have a girl wear the same things or the same logos. What should I do?

Answer: Try accessories that will make your outfit more unique... like a scarf or hat, jewelry ect. Add a little touch of you into your outfits to make them stand out more!

Question: How to find the height where two same marbles have the same velocity? How do you find the height where two same marbles have the same velocity when one marble is dropped from the Earths atmosphere (g=9.8) and the other is dropped from the Moons atmosphere (g=1.6)? Both are dropped from the same height I have absolutely no idea where to start...

Answer: What you have is the Earth marble accelerating faster but reaching a terminal velocity, and the Moon marble accelerating slower but not limited to a terminal velocity because there's no atmosphere. If the question doesn't specify the drop height you won't be able to calculate the height of equal velocity. (Or maybe the question wants the ground impact speed, and the drop height is the unknown? That would be sufficient.) Once that's defined, calculating the Earth marble's terminal speed requires that you know its density and size, and even then that could be tricky because the air density increases, and thus the terminal speed decreases, with decreasing altitude. So right now your question gives insufficient information, and it's pretty difficult even if you have all the needed data. Sorry about that.

Question: How come different amp kits with same gauge are rated at different watts? I was looking at different amp wiring kits for sale... Two of the same kits have all the same gauge wire: 8gauge power, 8gauge ground, 30 amp fuse... But one is rated at 200w and the other says it can handle 500w. Why is there such a big difference with the same parts?

Answer: listen to SAR4LIFE

Question: Is quiting the same thing as a voluntary resignation? I worked with a company for four years and decided to leave because there was no opportunity for personal development/promotion. I left without giving my two weeks, now I'm filling out resumes and am wondering if a voluntary resignation is the same as quiting. I imagine resigning like something you formally type out or a form you fill out after many many years with a company, most likely because of retirement. So is it the same thing or not?

Answer: Yes, quiting is a voluntary resignation, and vice-versa.

Question: What 3 elements in the same group have different valence configurations? So this is the one question that I can't figure out. I thought all elements in the same group have the same number of valence electrons, thus the same valence configurations but different principle quantum numbers. Someone please help. Thanks in advance.

Answer: It's "principal" quantum numbers, but OK. You can't figure it out because it's a dumb question, the point of which is useless trivia rather than actual understanding or application of chemical principles. (Which isn't "principals".) Whoever asked it of you is a silly person who is missing the point. You are absolutely correct. Same group = same # valence electrons = same valence electronic config = same chemistry. That's the take home message, that's the reason to learn electronic configs, that's the reason the periodic table is so astoundingly useful. You got that message, you're in good shape. Except that the configs on the table are those determined by experimental measurements of gas phase atoms. And sometimes, especially when different subshells in different shells have similar energies, you can get expt'l gas phase configs that do not correspond to Aufbau predictions. In other words, the d- and f-flock sometimes act goofy, because 6s and 5d and 4f are all similar energies, so that electrons can sometimes hop among them in ways you didn't expect and cannot predict. Which means that the "same valence electronic config" part doesn't always work perfectly. None of which reduces the utility of the exercise, or the validity of the principle, because YOU DON'T CARE. Well, you care if you do chemistry with gas phase transitional metal atoms, but that's unlikely. You don't care that Cr is [Ar](4s1)(3d5) and not [Ar](4s2)(3d4), because both configs tell you the same thing: 6 valence electrons to play with, +6 is max oxidation state, just like Mo and W. They all become the same once you form an ion in a molecule, so gas phase atoms tomfoolery is irrelevant. Your answer is Ni Pd Pt. In the gas phase, Ni is (4s2)(3d8), Pd is (4d10), Pt is (6s1)(5d9). There is no possible way to know that or figure that out except to squint at the table. And it's a useless thing to know, unless you're a gas-phase transition-metal chemist (in which case it's super useful to know). For most of us, Ni Pd Pt are all in Group 10, so they all have ten valence electrons, they all form d8 +2 ions, they have similar chemistry and form similar compounds.

Question: How would to halve sister with the same father different mother? How would to halve sister with the same father different mother, still have the same bond that two sisters have who have the same mother, but different father? Basically two half sisters live with their father.

Answer: If they live together, and if their father treats them both fairly, they should have as much of a bond as any other sisters.

Question: What would an employer think of someone who worked the same job for 14 years? My brother has been working the same job since he graduated from college.. He has been with the same company, sitting in the same office, doing the same tasks, has the same boss and his pay has gone up 4% a year. He is at the top of his pay grade. Now the company is in financial trouble and there may be layoffs. Because he is paid at the top of his pay grade he is likely to be laid off. If you were an employer what would you think of an applicant who has worked for only one employer in his whole life? Would he be considered steady, predictable and consistent. Or would be be unemployable because he is stagnant?

Answer: On the good side this applicant would likely stay around and would not require me the manager to have to hire someone new in a few months or years. On the bad side the person is set in their ways and likely to not be much of a risk taker and not that ambitious. I would not hire him or her.

Question: How can I use the same settings and share the same files with different users on a Mac? I have a Mac and I want to set up my laptop to have two user accounts. One for business and the other for personal. I want to use the same settings I already have for the new account as well as have access to certain files. Help?

Answer: System Preferences > Accounts. Click the + at the bottom and make a new user account, put a check to "Allow user to administer this computer". Next, how to share settings: You have two choices of methods: 1: This way always works -- Set up all the preferences (how things look and work) in that account manually. That might take all of 15 minutes. 2: This way might work -- Copy your first account's Library/ Preferences folder to Users /Shared. Log out, log in as the new user. Copy the Shared / Preferences to your Library folder. Confirm to replace the existing Preferences folder. Open Disk Utility. Repair permissions. Restart. If it is successful, you spent 5 minutes. If not, you're back to method 1. Different versions of OS X and various security updates might negate your plans to copy the Preferences folder and use it in the second user account. Logging in as root user and knowing how to change ownership and permissions for all the preferences can resolve that but it is very detailed and should not be done while connected to the Internet, as root user login leaves the system vulnerable to remote attack. Now, how to share documents... you can't keep documents available to all users without also making them available to the whole world, but if that is what you really want: You have two choices of methods: 1: Put all documents in Users /Shared. Set iTunes to use a folder at Users /Shared. When you use iMovie, iDVD, and other applications to make a new project, direct them to put the new project in some folder at Users /Shared. Various third-party applications such as Adobe Creative Suite or Microsoft Office may need similar solutions. Set Safari or Firefox to download to a folder in Users /Shared. 2: Partition the hard drive, install a second hard drive (desktop), or use an external hard drive. If the "Documents" drive volume (partition or other drive) is formatted Mac file system, open a Finder window, Get Info on the drive volume, put a check at the bottom of the Info window to "Ignore ownership on this volume". If the "Documents" drive volume is formatted DOS file system (FAT32), it has no permissions, so it is good-to-go. As in method 1, set applications to use some music, movie, or whatever folder on the "Documents" drive volume. Set Safari or Firefox to download to a folder on the Documents drive volume. You can also keep documents in a "sparseimage" (in Disk Utility Help, search for "secure image") with password protection that is available to all users who know the password. That means they are not available to anyone except by password. The hitch is that the only way you can see, change, or otherwise use any of the documents is if you enter the password and mount the image. Then all the documents are available to anyone until you "eject" the mounted disk.

Question: How many times can i reinstall microsoft office with the same product key on the same computer? I've been hit with 3 pretty bad viruses, causing me to reformat each time. I read on the microsoft office box that the key can be used for up to 3 computers. I've used the key 3 times, but on the same computer. I need to reinstall it again. Can I use the same product key if it is on the same computer? I'm talking about microsoft office 2007.

Answer: It means 3 different computers, not 3x on the same computer. As long as you own software, you can load it as many times as you want on your computer. Once you activate it with the key, microsoft will detect the same hardware (namely the MOBO). Even if you change MOBO, and it doesn't activate, you can call Microsoft and get it done via phone.

Question: Am I able to grow two different fruits in the same fruit grown on the same tree? My friend was telling me how her grandma grows Grapples (which is an apple seed and a grape seed grown together on the same tree). Am I able to grow fruit like that. I've also seen a pear and an apple combined in the same fruit. How am I able to do this??? Can I grow all types of fruit with different combinations into the same tree?

Answer: You can grow multiple types of apples on the same tree. You can also graft a pear tree to an apple tree and grow both on a single tree but these are all trees. I've never heard of a grape/apple combination. It would be interesting to try though. I would go to the library and pick up a book on grafting. The process is simple but it would take quite a bit of writing to detail all the different ways and it's much easier if there are photos.

Question: How do I cite the same source several times in different areas of the paper in Chicago style research paper? My teacher claims she wants a lot of citations using superscript numbers. This is my first real college research paper and i am confused as heck. I cited one source using the superscript 1 and now I need to cite the same source. I was planning on doing it after every sentence because she said its better to oversite then undersite. What do I do if I have several different points coming from the same source in different areas of the paper? any help is greatly appreciated

Answer: You can cite the same source twice. A professor will have a set number of how many different cites he/she wants, but otherwise yeah, using the same source twice cited the same is completly okay.

Question: Do the same Nokia chargers work for Nokia flip phones and for the non-flip phones? I have like 6 Nokia chargers from previous phones that are not the flip phones, but I'd like to get a Nokia flip phone. Are all Nokia chargers the same, regardless of the type of Nokia phone?

Answer: well depending on how old these nokia phone chargers are, right now there is a new plug its really thin and there is the old plug whitch is a bit fatter the newer nokia phones carry the thin charger pin but their is also a plug that you can plug into your old nokia charger and the end is thin like the newer nokia phone chargers

Question: How do I send the same desktop image to two monitors from the same computer? The video card allows extension of the desktop, but I don't want this. I want to send the same image on one monitor to another monitor in another room. Thanks for your help!

Answer: The simplest solution is to set it to clone rather than extended however not all graphics cards will support this mode check with the manufacture on their website, the card should have come with a driver disc that has this ability when the software is loaded - right click on the desktop and select properties, it might be under advanced, hope this helps.

Question: Should the same company that does your landscape irrigation do you lighting? Are there cost savings to doing both irrigation and lighting with the same company? What are the pros and cons?

Answer: If they are capable of doing both the advantages are that they can use the same conduit and will save you time in getting your trench refilled and your yard back. They should be able to provide the service cheaper than if you did them seperately but it never hurts to ask. The con is that they may be specialists in lighting but have no clue in regards to irrigation.

Question: The same statistics presented in different ways should result in the same decision? Do you think that The same statistics presented in different ways should result in the same decision. Give short examples please. Thanks.

Answer: statistics can't guarantee you results. it helps you take decisions in the face of uncertainity whose implications you know very well. and remember! alot of people lie with statistics. you can draw several conclusions based on one statistics, they may include the misleading ones and ones which might be in accordance with what might be the actual scenario.
