The voice actors usually try to match the timing of the mouth flaps in the animation. It's hard to do that while also conveying the meaning of what is said correctly (enough) -- and practically impossible to do that while sounding natu

Iron and platinum have different melting points. If you melt the alloy, then spin it to concentrate the platinum, couldn't you coax the platinum to separate out as solid clumps by adjusting the temperature? Alternatively, there are dif
