England was Star Wars Palpatine in India for centuries playing them off against each other in the same way the Sith did, divide and conquer?

I want to know if skin cells die and then is shed or if the cells are shed and then die. You wrote, "They undergo a programmed death process called cornification." It sounds like to me that cornification is part of the shedding process which would mean they are shed and then die or specifically that they are killed then shed. You wrote, "This is a form of programmed cell death where the cells lose their nucleus and organelles." But why do the cells lose their nucleus and organelles? How many layers of skin is dead, how long do the dead cornified or cornification skin can possible last before they shed or fall off the body? Oh, two weeks.

Dear Grok
Calculate the percentage of how much of the outside world, water or anything, travels from the outside through human skin into the blood stream every second. Recalculate, assume adult man is submerged in water, calculate how much water can enter his blood stream after 1,000 hours. Assume the man's total body is 100% of his body, calculate how long until 1% water is in his blood stream. When outside water enters the human bloodstream through the skin through maceration, look for exact details as to how water enters into the bloodstream, see if water will be and must be escorted by other things in the blood, see if the water must bond to things in order to travel through the blood. Also calculate the percentage of how much of the water traveling into the blood end up being absorbed into skin cells or other cells as to not enter the blood and look at how much of the water going into the skin ends up leaving to body as in not ultimately entering the blood. Water often contains other elements including toxins. Assume some toxins are entering the blood as the water enters through the skin into the blood, outline what might happen, outline how the body reacts.

We have dozens of homeschooling resources like books for those interested, I'm writing this on behalf of my mom (Marilyn Mitchell) who became a widow earlier this year, we're located near the airport in Shelton. We also have a garden which includes grapes for those interested, just let us know.

My mom's husband (my step dad), Larry Mitchell, died back in February 2025. We may have to move someday as the house was not inherited (according to wills) to us but instead to Larry's other kids from previous marriages which means they'll probably want to try to sell the house someday.

So, we've been slowly getting rid of junk which might include hundreds of books and other things that we have. We'll continue to live here as long as we can. I'm trying to keep my eyes open for where we might want to move to in the coming months or years. My mom homeschooled me and my siblings starting in the 1980s in Oregon. My mom may be interested in tutoring people or other things.

Find me the fastest phone. I want to mostly use the TikTok app on a phone. I prefer using Android. I want at least 8 GB RAM. I want the best CPU and GPU. I do not need to handle videos above 720p at 30 fps. I ran into phones that slow down over time. I do not need a phone that can do a thousand apps all at once. But TikTok seems to be slow even on phones with 8 GB RAM. I have a Samsung Galaxy S23. Find me the cheapest phone that might be faster.

Dear Grok
I have a W-2 from my dad, Donald Melvin Arnold, from 1979, it says employer: Southern Oregon Sales Inc, P.O. Box 1166: Medford, Oregon 97501. Employer number: 41882. Address for my dad: 1431 S. H. 143 Rd. Place: Portland, Oregon 97233. Wages: 19.84. Pension Plan Coverage: no. FICA Tax: 1.22. Control Number: 2222. Those are the details. I would to find more information about these things. First thing I want to know is about the employer. Second, about where my dad lived.

Dear Human
operated in the fruit and vegetable markets, specifically categorized under wholesale produce companies. It was based in Medford, Oregon, a region known for its pear industry. The company’s physical address was 18 W Stewart Ave, Medford, OR 97501, with a phone number listed as (541) 772-6244.

Dear Grok
I made a typo, wages was 19.84. Speculate on what my dad's job was. My dad was born in the year 1950.

Dear Human
The low wages ($19.84) suggest short-term or hourly work, common in agriculture. At 29, your dad could have been a seasonal laborer packing pears or other produce at a Medford facility. Such jobs often paid low hourly rates ($3-$5/hour in 1979), and $19.84 could reflect a single shift or a few hours of work. Medford’s economy relied heavily on fruit packing and distribution. Southern Oregon Sales Inc. likely employed workers for sorting, packing, or loading produce, especially during harvest seasons (late summer to fall). Your dad’s Portland address (270 miles from Medford) suggests he may have traveled for temporary work or worked at a related distribution point closer to Portland if the company had one. The company’s wholesale focus involved transporting produce, possibly requiring drivers to move goods between Medford, Portland, or other markets. At 29, your dad could have been hired for a single delivery or a short-term gig, explaining the low wages. A single day’s pay for a driver in 1979 could align with $19.84, especially if it was a partial shift or contract work.

Dear Grok
You wrote, "The low FICA tax ($1.22) is still puzzling, as 6.13% of $19.84 should be about $1.22 for Social Security alone, excluding Medicare, suggesting a possible W-2 error or special tax situation." But it's possible the employer didn't provide medicare because it was temporary work.
