How do you see all the achievements on Steam? Clicking the +X or the 'view personal achievements' ONLY show the ones I've got on the game, and the global statistics don't give you any description.
Go to the game's entry in your library or the store and click "View All Achievements"
It's pretty self explanatory.
Would be, except it ONLY shows achievements I've earned in the game, and there's absolutely no other tabs to let me look at the other achievements.

There are achievements that the devs can flag as hidden, which you can't actually see until you get.  Generally speaking, a game might have one or two of them, but I guess it would be possible for a dev to flag all achievements as hidden.  What game is it?

What happens to uncooked pasta when it is left out in the air?
Does it go stale? Is it then unsafe to eat, or does it taste pretty much the same as usual once cooked?

Your best bet is generally going to be citing everything that doesn't come specifically from you. Cite facts, cite arguments if you're using someone else's, cite appropriate texts even when you're paraphrasing. Basically everything, general knowledge as well as specialized.

Also, when in doubt, ask your teacher -- in general, when you're uni, that should be your step one in pretty much all situations. Stringency regarding reference citation is going to vary from class to class. As a general thing, trying to read your teacher's (or school's) mind in regards to these sorts of things is a recipe for screwing up, so... don't do that. Ask for clarification at any and every point you're uncertain. Most university professors aren't going to begrudge that -- they appreciate someone that's invested in the class and trying to learn, and making sure you're doing what they/the course content wants you to is one of the ways you signal that.
Thanks. I guess I'll send him an email. (It's reading week.)

It's pretty much inert, I think.

Unless its became humid or is kinda breaking apart when you pick it up, it should be safe to cook and eat it.

That's odd, but Bethesda's major releases are known for having a number of bugs at release so it'll probably work itself out in the next patch.

It also could just be they don't have descriptions.

It's known as the Oppai-Kaiju effect. The islands of Japan generate a sort anti-gravity field, which allows breasts to behave as if in microgravity. It's also what allows Godzilla and friends to become 50 stories tall, and lets ninjas run up the side of a skyscraper.

What is the plural of the word 'redux'?
Either redux, or reduxes?
'Reduces', I'd say, by analogy to 'index'.

Reduces is already a word though.

But just as a verb, not as a noun.

It'd still be easier to just leave it as redux and not have the trouble though.

But that goes against general grammatical rules! English is exception-riddled enough as-is.

And so one more won't make much of a difference.

Your better bet is to just not plural redux, though. Why the zog would even want to? As isp noted, you kinda' don't plural adjectives, and if you're using it as a noun... don't. Roll up a newspaper and bop yourself on the nose for trying.

How does the theoretical individual theoretically improve his theoretical ability of theoretically concentrating on theoretical stuff, that he needs for good exam scores?

Print all your material on paper, so you can study away from your computer, go to the library or some other place where you have nothing to do, and study.
