Quantum computers are capable of taking encryptions that would normally take super computers 500 years to crack and crack them in minutes.

That said quantum computers are still so expensive and rare that you and I shouldn't be concerned about someone using them against us. They've already started development on encryption methods that use quantum phenomena to encrypt messages that even quantum computers have a hard time cracking.

While I agree with you to an extent, there is such a thing as people doing things like twisting apologies as admission of guilt, or taking advantage of a people pleaser to try and wangle a comped meal out of a minor infraction.

Sure the customer service people who are rude back get more abuse in return, but then it turns into a game of "Can I get this empoyee so worked up that they do something so bad their manager is forced to give me a freebie to smooth things over."

The best way I've found to deal with them is to be polite but firm. Nice, but not yielding an inch. It leaves them no weakness to exploit and no rage to also exploit.

To add to this, despite being in 8% of the Earth's crust, aluminum used to be very rare in it's natural state. Producing aluminum from ore used to be so difficult that it was more expensive than silver.

When the Washington Monument was finished in 1884, they placed atop it an aluminum primid lighting rod. It was the largest single piece of aluminum cast at the time. 2 years later the Hall-Héroult process was discovered, which allowed aluminum to be made quite cheaply.

Khajiit is innocent of this crime!

The hairs on your eyebrows don't stop growing. They're always growing. It's just that the tips of them eventually wear out and break off so they never get longer than a certain length.

The different hairs on your body grow at different speed and have different durability. How long they can get before the tips to break off varies by location

If you saw say a dramatic car accident, your body would naturally react by focusing on it. Your eyes widen. You become so hyper focused that time seems to slow down. This instinct probably helped our ancestors better avoid perilous events by being sure we took in every detail when they happen so we could better avoid them in the future.

When you are on the edge of a cliff and think about what would happen if you fall, your mind identifies that as another perilous event. It starts to become hyper focused on that thought just like seeing an actual perilous event would because it has trouble distinguishing the difference. It's not that you want to fall off the edge. Quite the opposite. But you can't help but think about falling off the edge because your instincts compel you to become focused on such events.
