Per the shutdown of Yahoo Answers, I downloaded just the Answers portal from the huge list of downloadable content from Yahoo. I got the resulting ZIP file two days later. I knew from the size, alone, that something was wrong: It was WAY too small:  the corresponding JSON data file was only 3k bytes long and had only ONE of my answers in it without the corresponding question to tie it to! I have dozens, if not hundreds of questions, answers, and comments/replies. Something is very wrong! Perhaps, the SQL Yahoo selected or retrieved resulted in only one record/row/item? Or, something similar is wrong with the building of the resulting ZIP file. I'm a computer programmer with over 40 years of experience! not to mention that I'm a computer repairman and webmaster (over 20 years of experience for the latter), so, hopefully, that shows I know what I'm doing! Please fix the problem and let users know to re-do their download before you nuke everything!!! (P.S. I downloaded other portals, such as Money and Stock and user info, but, got the same result: one record out of what should have been many!)

AskQit.com is a relatively new Q&A website that, so far, has very few people on it and no inane/trollish/childish questions or answers. When Yahoo Answers ends in May, will AskQit get YA's members, and will that mark the end of AskQit's intelligent Q&A?

I know that "CLBL" means "callable," but, I'm stymied about "M/w"!

A year or so ago, I bought a set of disposable aluminum pans of various types and keep them in my clean, unused, oven, mostly one stack in and/or on top of each other, along with other pots and pans of various types (pyrex, copper, etc). In the rare instances that I use the oven, I remove the pans, putting them in a different room. After the cooking/baking is done and the oven has cooled off and been cleaned, I put the pans back in the stove. After months of non-use, I intended to bake in one of the pans, but, when I pulled out the cookware, I found that almost all the aluminum pans had a greasy feel on the inside, even those that were stacked under others. The only ones that escaped the odd grease were the ones at the very bottom. Because the disposable ware was cheap and corrugated, such that cleaning them didn't make sense, I tossed them into the metal recycling bin, and used my regular cookware. I never grease such pans in advance of use. I scanned the inside of the oven, thoroughly, expecting to see grease dripping down from somewhere, but, I couldn't find a drop, except on the pans! All seals are intact, so, nothing could have got in from the outside, and I almost never use spray oils on the stove, so, nothing could have got into or otherwise affected the interior of the oven. So, where did the grease come from?

For example, if you drive from eastern Long Island, NY (say, Montauk Point), and select a westbound destination (say, Allentown, PA), most such apps take you through NYC (e.g., Midtown Tunnel, et al.) instead of the much easier and less busy (sometimes!) Southern State Pkwy and Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge, but, it won't let you change the route or add via points or anything along those lines.

Circa 1972, I read a science fiction novel in my junior high school (personal choice from its library; not assigned reading) about a dystopian future Earth, where blacks become the majority populace following a post-nuclear world. The story is told from the viewpoint of a teenaged black girl, who, through her travels, meets a white boy, and, together, they find a wrecked helicopter that, miraculously, runs, and, even more miraculously, if not preposterously, she manages to fly it! I can't remember the title or anything else about it, but, I'd love to read it, again. Any ideas?

Can the hopefully, qualified, new, President, revoke the entire Trump family's security clearances without having to give a reason, as if any were necessary?

When Sociopath Darnold Rump is out of office, can the hopefully, qualified, new, President, rescind all Rump's inane executive orders in one shot, or will (s)he have to knock them down one-by-one?

My recently installed, new, laptop, battery, instructed me to bring it down to 3-5% three times, in order to condition it. It is rated at 2,600 milliamp-hours (mAh). During the first two conditionings, if you will, it barely reached that level. After the recent, third, conditioning, it is reading over 3,000 mAh, according to BatteryInfoView, a freeware program. Then, after allowing it to recharge, it went down to 2,400. Why are there such differences between the mAh ratings?

Shortly after they take the White House, all (modern?) U.S. Presidents have their cash, credit cards, checks, etc., taken away (to be returned when they leave office, of course). Why is this done? (I know this lends itself to a lot of joke and trollish answers, so, please, don't respond, if you don't know the real reason) Thank you.

I am a 4.0 NTRP tennis player, who has carpal tunnel syndrome (dominant wrist) and mild rotator cuff (both shoulders), which has reduced my ability to serve and hit to a 3.5 level (i.e., I can't serve in the 90 mph range, anymore; closer to low 70s, and similar across my hitting ability).

Assuming I currently use the average string tension printed on my racquet, should I use a higher (control) or lower (power) string tension to reduce the probability of any pain?

I'm not asking for exercises or medical advice; just opinions on the string tension issue. If you have a web reference, then, please, include that.

Thanks.

I use IP-city websites to tell me where my friends are communicating from via e-mail (some e-mail services give you the IP address in the e-mail). Usually, they are fairly consistent, with only minor discrepencies (i.e., they might show a specific town or the closest major city). After getting an IP that indicated only a certain foreign nation (no city), I looked it up on a number of different IP-city-finder websites, and was stunned at the wide variety of results I got: Two countries; five different cities! I stopped after seeing the variety. Why aren't the results consistent?
