An amount roughly comparable to that which she would generally be able to chuck of a substance approximating the density and other physical characteristics of wood, taking into account her frame of mind. Although you do specify “could” and not “would”, so frame of mind might be irrelevant. I suggest conducting experiments, keeping in mind the policies set by the BC IACUC (bit.ly/BCIACUC).

Do I know you? Of course I know you. You’re the person who asked, “Do you know me?” in Chinese. And no, in spite of the comment, you’re not a fool.

Marijuana does have anti-nausea properties, among other potential benefits. The Mayo Clinic site (bit.ly/mayo-weed) lists some potential benefits for some conditions, but also advises caution. Side effects vary unpredictably, as does dosage. If I were sick I’d follow tried and true advice: see a doctor and follow their recommendations.

Good question! I don’t know the answer, but I’ll have my assistants work on finding out, and post an answer here when I know.
Update 7/17/18: My helpers tell me that Facilities Management says it’s several things all at once: manhole reconstruction, with some steam line upgrades, and renovation of the basement auditorium and stairwells in Devlin. All of these impact that outside lawn area.

tan(10°) + tan(20°) + tan(30°) + … + tan(80°)=?

tan(10°) + tan(20°) + tan(30°) + ... + tan(80°)=?
tan(10°) + tan(20°) + tan(30°) + … + tan(80°)=?

If you meant what you asked, the answer is 13.2994. A more interesting question with that sequence would be tan(10°)* tan(20°)*tan(30°)* … * tan(80°) = ? Because tan(90°−x) = cotx = 1/tanx, tan(10°)* tan(80°) = tan(10°)*1/tan(10°) = 1. Similarly, the rest of the sequence cancels out with the final answer being 1. However, as a wall, I’m more into geometry than trigonometry – give me more than one right angle, please.

Joan Harris’s rise from secretarial pool to starting her own production company, and the struggle that kind of rise took for a woman in the 60’s, makes for a really compelling storyline. Don Draper is interesting, of course, but also… who really relates to someone who literally invented an entire past? Everyone carries around secrets and lies, but to that degree? He was always too far from upstanding for this wall to relate to.

If you’re asking about my own leanings, I’m a Wall, so it’s not in my nature to lean. If you’re asking about the outcomes, just remember that the remarkable thing about a democracy is that everyone who takes part helps write the outcomes. All of these (and many more) are possibilities. I guess you could call me a possibilitarian. I have to just stand here, so please, all of you, be active on my behalf!

A search on PubMed bit.ly/BCPubMed (the major database of the biomedical sciences) for the subject terms “conjunctivitis” and “flatulence” brings up no results. Equally the National Library of Medicine’s medical information for laymen, MedlinePlus, has no notes about farts in the entry on pinkeye bit.ly/PinkEyeMedlinePlus, but it does say causes include “substances that cause irritation.” I can only assume your farting is quite irritating…
