Although means to ascertain the weight of the human body existed before the 1920s, they were not in common use and were not thought necessary in routine physical and medical examinations. The joke in this comic arises from the claim that, before the invention of the &quot;modern&quot; bathroom scale, human body weights needed to be obtained, not by the earlier, less convenient, forms of scale technology which were actually used, but by absurd, Rube Goldberg-esque, implementations of {{w|mass spectrometry}}. <br /> <br /> Mass spectrometry, a late 19th-century invention (thus, available only a few decades earlier than the bathroom scale), was developed to obtain the masses of atomic particles by ascertaining their mass-to-charge ratios. The basic steps, as represented in the comic, are ionization of the mass (rubbing the scalp with the balloon), separating the resulting particles on the basis of their mass-to-charge ratio by firing them through a magnetic field (jumping past the magnet), and observing the resulting amount of path deflection on a detector (the target). Since the ionization procedure for ''bona fide'' mass-spectrometry assays involves turning the mass to be analyzed into a gas, the method would quickly be recognized as unsuited for obtaining human body weights, especially over the course of a dieting program, and become unpopular. There are other ionization techniques to transfer larger compounds intact into the gas phase, but a human body would be way too heavy to be analyzable by this technique.<br /> <br /> The title text compares the mass-spectrometry-based method for obtaining human body weights with the method based on the {{w|Oil drop experiment|Milliken–Fletcher procedure}}, also available only a few years prior to bathroom scales, in which the mass to be analyzed takes the form of atomized oil droplets that are ionized by X-rays. Neither is suited for weight measurements over time scales of any length, but the cleanup procedures for a human body converted into ionized gas are certainly less onerous than those for a similar mass converted into an oil spray. The original procedure was intended to determine the mass of an electron, based on the known mass/density of the oil droplets. The title text seems to imply the converse, determining the mass/density of a person based on the (now) known mass of an electron.<br /> <br /> ==Transcript==<br /> <br /> :[Ponytail, wearing a lab coat, is giving a balloon to Cueball. Behind Cueball, there is a ramp on the ground, a magnet hanging from the ceiling and a target on a poster on the wall.]<br /> :Ponytail: Rub this balloon against your head, then go jump past that magnet toward the target on the wall.<br /> <br /> :[Caption below the panel:]<br /> :Before the bathroom scale was invented, the only way to weigh people was mass spectrometry.<br /> <br /> ==Trivia==<br /> In the comic, Randall uses the correct term &quot;mass spectro'''metry'''&quot;. The term &quot;mass spectro'''scopy'''&quot; was used in the beginnings of the technique but is not used anymore. Today, a spectroscopy method entails the interaction of matter with electromagnetic radiation (e.g. IR light — as in IR spectroscopy or radio waves — as in NMR spectroscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy). In the case of mass spectrometry, this is not the case, as ions are manipulated or interacting with static electric and magnetic fields and thereby the mass-to-charge ratio is determined. Both &quot;spectrometry&quot; and &quot;spectroscopy&quot; allude to a &quot;spectrum&quot; of possible results that can be used to quantify and qualify any inputs being measured, and a distribution of molecular weights ''can'' be usefully represented in a rainbow-like visual, but doesn't bear any direct relation with the electromagnetic spectrum, hence the technical name difference. People &quot;in the trade&quot; often abbreviate it as &quot;mass spec&quot;, which could stand for either term.<br /> <br /> {{comic discussion}}&lt;noinclude&gt;<br /> [[Category:Comics featuring Ponytail]]<br /> [[Category:Comics featuring Cueball]]<br /> [[Category:Physics]]</div> TheusafBOT https://www.explainxkcd.com/wiki/index.php?title=3097:_Bridge_Types&diff=412894 3097: Bridge Types 2026-05-16T04:26:29Z <p>TheusafBOT: Reverted edit 412893 by 2001:4450:81E7:1E00:E160:C57F:6F73:2376 to 408024</p> <hr /> <div>{{comic<br /> | number = 3097<br /> | date = June 2, 2025<br /> | title = Bridge Types<br /> | image = bridge_types_2x.png<br /> | imagesize = 740x581px<br /> | noexpand = true<br /> | titletext = Pontoon bridges are just linear open-sided waterbeds.<br /> }}<br /> <br /> ==Explanation==<br /> This comic shows, in a four-by-four grid of images, a series of bridge types. As with [[1714: Volcano Types]], [[1874: Geologic Faults]] and [[3182: Telescope Types]], the comic starts off with real bridge types, and then swiftly proceeds to make things up for absurdity. That said, real-life examples of some of the joke bridges exist, as shown in the table below. The joke lies in the progression of bridge types from the simple and straightforward to the complex and ridiculous.<br /> <br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable sortable&quot;<br /> ! Name given<br /> ! style=&quot;width:7em;&quot;| Status<br /> ! Type<br /> ! Explanation<br /> |-<br /> ! Plank<br /> | {{Yes|Real}}<br /> |{{w|Beam bridge}}<br /> |A straightforward piece of solid material (in this case, made of solid wood, but there are {{w|Clapper bridge|other materials}}) is the most basic form of bridge, and generally the easiest to construct, but also the weakest. Consequently, such bridges are only suitable for small spans and light weights (such as a footbridge over a stream).<br /> |-<br /> ! Rope<br /> | {{Yes|Real}}<br /> |{{w|Simple suspension bridge}}<br /> |Rope bridges consist of several lengths of rope anchored on both sides of the span. Typically, one or more ropes will be intended to support the crossing load (possibly with boards or some other walkway between them), and additional ropes will act as handrails, reducing the risk of falling. These are typically only intended for foot traffic, due to their light construction and lack of rigidity. Because of the simple materials and relative ease of construction, they're often used as improvised bridges. However, a ridiculous design for this bridge type was explored in [[3048: Suspension Bridge]], in which the rope functions as a road.<br /> |-<br /> ! Truss<br /> | {{Yes|Real}}<br /> |{{w|Truss bridge}}<br /> |A truss is a common type of framework consisting of supports connected in a series of triangles which provide support for a load. This design provides significant strength and rigidity with minimal material and weight. A truss bridge can either have the truss above the bridge platform (as in the drawing) or underneath it (also known as a deck truss). This is the first bridge type on this list which is commonly used for vehicle traffic. <br /> |-<br /> ! Trestle<br /> | {{Yes|Real}}<br /> |{{w|Trestle bridge}}<br /> |A trestle bridge is held up by supports reaching all the way to the ground beneath. Typically at least some of the supports will slope outward to give a larger base of support. Once common for railroads, these are less popular nowadays, but are still seen in certain areas and applications.<br /> |-<br /> ! Arch<br /> | {{Yes|Real}}<br /> |{{w|Arch bridge}}<br /> |Arches are one of the oldest kinds of bridges for carrying significant loads. They can be made out of rock or metal. Each span consists of an arch resting on supports. Simple arch bridges rest on both sides of a river or other gap, but longer bridges (as in the drawing) will have intermediate pillars to support multiple arches. The arches distribute the load, allowing a relatively small number of pillars to support weight across the entire deck of the bridge. <br /> |-<br /> ! Suspended Arch<br /> | {{Yes|Real}}<br /> |{{w|Through-arch bridge}}, possibly {{w|Tied-arch bridge}}<br /> |A through arch bridge uses a similar concept as an arch bridge, but the deck is entirely or partially suspended below the top of the arch (in this case fully suspended, at the bottom of the arch). The tie of a tied arch bridge refers to using the deck as a tension member to restrain the horizontal spreading of the arch; without a tie, the arch's foundation must resist that horizontal loading. From the picture, it is not clear whether the deck is acting as a tie. Such bridges may use a single arch (as in the drawing) or multiple arches in succession. <br /> |-<br /> ! Draw<br /> | {{Yes|Real}}<br /> |Drawbridge (more precisely a fixed-trunnion {{w|Bascule_bridge|bascule bridge}})<br /> |Drawbridges are used to allow ships to pass through obstacles like bridges. They use various methods to raise one or multiple sections of the bridge to create enough height clearance for vessels to pass through, in this case using a cable to rotate the bridge about a pivot point (trunnion).<br /> |-<br /> ! Suspension<br /> | {{Yes|Real}}<br /> |{{w|Suspension bridge}}<br /> |A suspension bridge suspends its deck with cables or rods from a cable linked to a pillar and a point a certain distance from each pillar<br /> |-<br /> ! Filler<br /> |{{Maybe|Real}} method of maintaining {{w|Grade (slope)|grade}}, not really a 'bridge'<br /> |{{w|Embankment (earthworks)|Embankment}}, {{w|Causeway}} or even a {{w|Dam}}<br /> |Serves the purpose of allowing travel across the gap, but by removing (or {{w|Culvert|mostly removing}}) passage through the gap itself. By filling the gap with hard, irregular material (most commonly rocks), support can be provided, while still allowing water to flow through the gaps. Due to the generally small size of the gaps, generally only slow-flowing water can reliably get through. <br /> |-<br /> ! Budget Overrun<br /> | {{Yes|Real}}&lt;br/&gt;(with an absurd name)<br /> |{{w|Cable-stayed bridge}}<br /> |Specifically, the pictured bridge is a {{w|cantilever spar cable-stayed bridge}}, similar in appearance to the {{w|Samuel Beckett Bridge}} in Dublin or the {{w|Erasmusbrug}} in Rotterdam. Many bridges in this category suffer severe cost overruns.&lt;br/&gt;Randall may be drawing upon his local knowledge of the {{w|Leonard P. Zakim Bunker Hill Memorial Bridge|Zakim Bridge}} in downtown Boston's {{w|Big Dig}}, also strongly associated with cost overruns. Also, while not a bridge, the budget overrun and diagonally inclined tower supporting cables may be a reference to {{w|Montreal Tower}} and {{w|Olympic Stadium (Montreal)|Olympic Stadium}}, which has suffered infamous budget overruns, costing over 6.7 times the initially planned amount.<br /> |-<br /> ! Jump<br /> | {{No|Not real}}<br /> |Similar to a pair of small {{w|cantilever bridge}}s, constructed at an incline.<br /> |A &quot;bridge&quot; that appears to be being used by a skateboarder, though in a manner far more dangerous&lt;!-- e.g. 'underjumping' could send you into the hard edge of the landing ramp!--&gt; than any jump in a typical skatepark. While not {{w|London Buses route 78#History|normally}} a feature of the highway, jump ramps can be used for gap-crossing stunts by almost any vehicle with sufficient speed.

'So, like, a single banana slice?'<br /> }}<br /> <br /> ==Explanation==<br /> <br /> In the comic, [[Cueball]] shows off several items that comprise approximately one of a given unit to [[Megan]] and [[White Hat]]. The first three — {{w|Metre|meter}}s, {{w|Pound (mass)|pound}}s and {{w|volt}}s — are all units of which &quot;1&quot; is a not extraordinary amount for an item that can be easily held in the hand. As such, they elicit minimal reaction from Megan and White Hat. A meter (a unit of length) is visually verifiable; a pound (a unit of weight) is easy to hold in the hand; and a volt (V, a unit of electric potential) would cause minimal harm even if discharged. White Hat's remark that the battery &quot;might need a recharge&quot; refers to the fact that 1 V batteries are somewhat uncommon, but a battery with a larger voltage like an {{w|AA battery|AA}}, {{w|C battery|C}} or {{w|D battery|D}} cell (typically up to 1.5 V) might read as 1 V if significantly depleted, which is likely to make most electrical devices stop working or have performance decline.<br /> <br /> In contrast, 1 {{w|farad}} is an unusually large amount of capacitance. Capacitance is the ability to store charge, a large amount of which could be dangerous. In common use, most consumer electronics use capacitors in the picofarad to millifarad range, and 1 millifarad is already considered a &quot;large&quot; capacitor. A 1-farad capacitor is considered a supercapacitor (and some of which are pseudocapacitors, not strictly capacitors). Cueball claiming to have a 1 farad capacitor elicits panic from Megan and White Hat, who fear that {{w|Capacitor#Hazards and safety|it could be very dangerous}}.<br /> <br /> For the same charging voltage and load/resistance, a larger capacitor won't deliver greater current or instantaneous power than a smaller one, but the total amount of energy and duration of discharge would be proportionally longer. If the capacitor's wires accidentally touch each other or a third piece of metal, an accidental &quot;short circuit&quot; is created, and all of the capacitor's stored energy discharges very quickly. For example, a 1 farad capacitor charged to 10 volts stores 50 joules of energy, and discharging all of that into a copper wire could cause the wire to heat up by a few dozen degrees Celsius faster than the blink of an eye and cause serious burns (see the [https://old.reddit.com/r/xkcd/comments/1ljxvdo/do_i_not_understand_what_a_capacitor_is/mzqg7ug/ calculation]). Large capacitors are often associated with larger voltages and heavy machinery, which can contribute to the feeling of caution around large capacitances.<br /> <br /> The title text explores the inverse situation, where “1” of a unit is a very &lt;b&gt;small&lt;/b&gt; amount. A {{w|becquerel}} (Bq) amounts to one radioactive atomic decay per second, which is a really low level of radioactivity. As observed, the material in question could be a single slice of a banana (primarily due to the decay of trace {{w|potassium-40}} in the total potassium it contains, a natural proportion of 117 parts per million). Hence, it is both impractical and unnecessary to contain it inside a container for hazardous materials unless the material is dangerous for other reasons (such as corrosiveness, flammability, or overripeness). For comparison, a 70 kg human body itself [https://web.archive.org/web/20200220103556/https://radioactivity.eu.com/site/pages/Activity_Doses.htm has an activity of 8000 Bq], and the {{w|Chernobyl disaster|1986 meltdown of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant}} (better known as the time &quot;[[2163: Chernobyl|we banged some rocks together too hard]]&quot;) released [https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/10628087/ 2×10&lt;sup&gt;18&lt;/sup&gt; (which is 2,000,000,000,000,000,000) Bq]. The earlier common unit for radioactivity is the {{w|Curie (unit)|curie}}, originally defined as the decay rate of 1 gram of radium. It has since been redefined to be 3.7×10&lt;sup&gt;10&lt;/sup&gt; decays/second, i.e., 37 GBq. Radioactive material emitting 1 curie that is small enough to fit into a container for hazardous materials is dangerous enough that it probably ''should'' be in one. Bananas as a unit of measurement for radiation exposure are also discussed in the [[Radiation]] chart.<br /> <br /> ==Transcript==<br /> : [Cueball holds a stick while talking with Megan and White Hat.]<br /> : Cueball: This stick is one meter long.<br /> : Megan: Cool.<br /> : White Hat: That's a nice stick.<br /> <br /> : [Cueball holds a smallish rock.]<br /> : Cueball: This rock weighs one pound.<br /> : Megan: I'd believe it.<br /> : White Hat: Looks like a normal rock.<br /> <br /> : [Cueball holds a small battery.]<br /> : Cueball: This battery is one volt.<br /> : Megan: Seems fine.<br /> : White Hat: Might need a recharge.<br /> <br /> : [Cueball holds a capacitor while Megan and White Hat panic.]<br /> : Cueball: This capacitor is one farad.<br /> : Megan: &lt;b&gt;&lt;em&gt;Aaaaa! Be careful!!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/b&gt;<br /> : White Hat: Put it down!!<br /> <br /> ==Trivia==<br /> Of the three 'normal' unit quantities, the battery gets a comment that it might not necessarily be one. Common household versions of {{w|electrochemical cell}} will normally be designed to produce around 1.5 volts (though some fairly common other versions go as low as 1.2&amp;nbsp;V or as high as 2.1&amp;nbsp;V), with single-/multi-cell {{w|List of battery sizes|batteries in general}} often being rated at a simple multiple of that (e.g. 1.5&amp;nbsp;V, 4.5&amp;nbsp;V, 9&amp;nbsp;V, ...). A cell producing nearer just a single volt, as is pointed out, might be significantly discharged and need recharging. If not replacing entirely, having aged due to too many recharges, as it also definitely would if it is a {{w|primary cell}}.<br /> <br /> Also, of all four measures, the {{w|Pound (mass)|pound}} is the only non-SI unit given. A mass of 1 {{w|kilogram}} would also not be too odd a weight to have quoted here, being about 2.2 lb, but may not have been chosen due to its relative unfamiliarity to everyday US readers (even compared to the meter&lt;!--?--&gt;), or else because of its {{w|metric prefix}} (the only one of the {{w|SI base unit}}s, even including the {{w|SI derived unit|derived ones}}, to not be a bare unit) and the gram itself perhaps being even less relatable.<br /> <br /> This comic was uploaded very late. Despite the normal three-a-week comic schedule having it come out on Monday, June 23, and being listed on [https://xkcd.com/archive/ xkcd's archive list] for that day, it was actually released well into the next day. This is one of very few times other than [[:Category:April Fools' Day comics|April Fools' comics]] that Randall was so late. The next comic, [[3107]], came out well within its nominal day (Wednesday, and not just by US time zones), such that possibly this comic, of all comics in the usual three-a-week cycle, spent the least time as the &quot;latest&quot; comic before being replaced by the next in its cycle.<br /> <br /> {{comic discussion}}&lt;noinclude&gt;<br /> [[Category: Comics featuring Cueball]]<br /> [[Category: Comics featuring White Hat]]<br /> [[Category: Comics featuring Megan]]<br /> [[Category: Physics]]</div> TheusafBOT https://www.explainxkcd.com/wiki/index.php?title=3108:_Laser_Danger&diff=412891 3108: Laser Danger 2026-05-16T04:23:51Z <p>TheusafBOT: Reverted edit 412887 by 2001:4450:81E7:1E00:E160:C57F:6F73:2376 to 410615</p> <hr /> <div>{{comic<br /> | number = 3108<br /> | date = June 27, 2025<br /> | title = Laser Danger<br /> | image = laser_danger_2x.png<br /> | imagesize = 684x272px<br /> | noexpand = true<br /> | titletext = To combat the threat, many airlines are installing wing-mounted spray bottles.<br /> }}<br /> <br /> ==Explanation==<br /> Shining a laser at a plane is a [https://www.faa.gov/about/initiatives/lasers federal crime] in the US, and similarly forbidden in many other countries. A sufficiently powerful laser can disorient, distract and/or blind the pilot operating the aircraft. This can prove particularly dangerous to the safety of the aircraft and its occupants during take-off and landing, when planes are likely to have altitudes and orientations particularly susceptible to laser interference, and are phases that are already hazardous periods of flight. This 'use' of lasers was previously discussed in [[3030: Lasering Incidents]] and [[2481: 1991 and 2021]].<br /> <br /> Megan claims that there's another reason why lasering a plane is illegal: to avoid provoking cats into leaping at them. Cats are known to [[729: Laser Pointer|chase and jump onto]] the dots created by laser pointers. Cats also prey on birds, with estimates of 1.3 to 3.7 billion birds killed each year&lt;!-- is this globally, or US only? --&gt;.{{actual citation needed}} Of course, a cat would be unable to jump to the height of a flying plane.{{Citation needed}} If the cat were able to reach the plane, it would find itself hilariously outsized, though colliding with the plane mid-air could cause damage akin to a bird strike (e.g. shattered windshield or engine failure). The cat in the image is similar in size to the plane and thus could do significant damage. It is unclear whether the cat is unusually large or the plane is a model aircraft. A similar joke was used in the title text of [[1463: Altitude]].<br /> <br /> The laser is shown in green, which have become more popular in recent decades as they offer the highest power for the lowest cost and are most frequently the type used in aviation-related incidents.<br /> <br /> The title text alludes to the fact that many cats do not like getting wet, and one of the methods people use to discourage them from a place or activity that is unwanted is to use spray bottles to wet their fur. The spray bottle might&lt;!-- not so much, perhaps more of a pavlovian 'hint'? --&gt; also emit a hissing sound, which cats associate with other cats threatening them. The &quot;wing-mounted spray bottles&quot; on aircraft could be a reference to fuel dump tubes, which spray out fuel to lighten the aircraft, commonly used before emergency landings (especially soon after take-off, when a nearly full load of fuel is now more trouble than it should have been). To combat actual physical threats to aircraft in real life, El Al (the Israeli national airline) and government aircraft {{w|Air Force One|used by heads of state}} often have various {{w|Flare (countermeasure)|countermeasures}} installed.<br /> <br /> ==Transcript==<br /> : Megan: Shining laser pointers at planes is a federal crime.

It follows [[2495: Universal Seat Belt]] (#65) released three weeks before and was followed 9 days later by [[2507: USV-C]] (#280).<br /> <br /> The comic depicts a large metal spike with a wire coming from the base. The spike stabs through two other wires, thus creating an electrical connection between the three. As the name suggests, the spike resembles a {{w|Spindle_(stationery)|stationery spindle}}, colloquially known as a spike, called a Memo Spike here by [[Randall]]. However, unlike normal spindles, this one has a cable of some kind coming out of it, suggesting this is a hub of some sort.<br /> <br /> Spindles are used to temporarily hold paper by &quot;spindling&quot; or impaling the paper onto the spike (as depicted in the comic). They're most known for their use in restaurants as a way to hold bills that have been paid, or traditionally in offices that work with many bits of paper, e.g. with invoices in a finance department or hardcopy in newspaper editing, to prevent accidental disturbance/shuffling, at the expense of a small puncture mark in each sheet so impaled. (This could cause errors in papers with punch-holes that are meant to be read by machines, hence the admonition against &quot;{{w|Punched_card#Do_Not_Fold,_Spindle_or_Mutilate|folding, spindling, and mutilating}}&quot;.) In the latter context, the editor might put all the rejected stories onto a spike (rather than into a wastebasket) to prevent them going astray, and this might be the source of the term '{{w|Spike (journalism)|spiked}}'.<br /> <br /> The joke of the comic is while any number of non-destructive connection standards exist, a large spike can provide much of the same results: a conductive object that retains a connection of multiple wires in a way that allows electricity to pass through. Indeed, in the early days of Ethernet, {{w|Vampire tap|vampire taps}} were used, essentially spikes that bit into a cable to establish a new branch in the network. Another type of connection which involves piercing the wire is a {{w|Punch-down block|punch-down block}}, a type of {{w|Insulation-displacement_connector|insulation-displacement connector}}, where one or more wires are pushed into a cutting channel instead of onto a spike.<br /> <br /> Depending on the type of cable it is also likely to create a short circuit, such as by connecting both strands of a twisted pair of strands in a typical Ethernet cable, or the central wire and the sheath of a coaxial cable. In an enterprise environment, this could even happen on a {{w|Power_over_Ethernet|power-over-ethernet connection}}, which actually carry more noticeable amounts of power (up to 25.5W). Even if this is avoided, the single spike may be large enough to mechanically sever a random subset of the finer strands that exist within a multicore cable such as is commonly in use today. And in all cases, the energized spike presents an electrical hazard.<br /> <br /> The title text takes this a bit further. It says that it is backwards compatible with many existing cables. This means any cable large enough to be impaled by the spike could be used. Needless to say it will likely not work anyway. It also continues by saying that phones and tablets can also be connected using this method if you press them down hard enough over the spike. Thus if you actually manage to make the spike penetrate the device's coverings to reach the electrical parts, then there is a connection. The implication is that any device or cable can be connected to any other device or cable as a form of universal adapter/splitter/combiner across arbitrary hardware and communications/power standards. In reality, this could be even more dangerous and will surely destroy the phone/tablet either directly or by overloading their cable connection.{{citation needed}} Also be careful not to impale your hand while trying to push the spike through your tablet's screen.<br /> <br /> ==Transcript==<br /> :[A memo spike is shown (a device also called a spindle). It is a long spike standing up from a round base plate. A wire is coming in from the left and appears to be hardwired into the spike's base element. Two other wires comes in from the right. Both are firmly impaled down upon the spike, penetrated completely through shortly before their apparently unterminated ends. The end of the impaled wire closest to the base faces out and the details appear to show it to be of some variety of multicore (rather than co-axial) manufacture. The other cable's end is a bit higher and points into the image. Above is a title and below is a label.]<br /> :Cursed Connectors #102<br /> :The Memo Spike<br /> <br /> {{comic discussion}}<br /> <br /> &lt;!-- Include any categories below this line. --&gt;<br />

Instead, &quot;qua&quot; is essential to build the complex expression &quot;sine qua non qua sine qua non&quot;, where the middle qua is indeed the preposition! <br /> I also feel that Randall is making fun of &quot;pretentious&quot; people by demonstrating how quickly their talk turns into something like &quot;blablabla&quot; [[Special:Contributions/172.70.246.153|172.70.246.153]] 21:51, 9 March 2022 (UTC)<br /> <br /> :But the explanation of the title text is not claiming that it is specifically as a proposition that “qua” is essential, is it?<br /> :[[User:While False|While False]] ([[User talk:While False|talk]]) 04:31, 10 March 2022 (UTC)<br /> <br /> :: Well, basically, you're right. But to clarify it better, you would at least have to point out that the title text is talking of two different &quot;qua&quot;s then, BOTH the preposition and the relative pronoun.

The Latin &quot;qua&quot; that is not a pronoun, used in the comic, is not a preposition (although it can translate to the preposition &quot;as&quot; in English), but rather an adverb. This adverb is directly derived from &quot;qua&quot; the pronoun, ablative feminine form of &quot;qui&quot; (&quot;which&quot;). In fact, the simple ablative use of the pronoun completely covers the meaning of the adverb (&quot;as&quot;, &quot;by which&quot;, &quot;as which&quot; etc.). Calling some uses of &quot;qua&quot; adverbial, rather than simple ablative use of a feminine pronoun, is something modern linguists do to facilitate understanding of &quot;qua&quot; when not preceded by prepositions; it is not, I suspect, a distinction the Latin speakers of antiquity would recognise.

I think at least three nines of all uses of the word &quot;qua&quot; in English-language writing are in the phrase &quot;sine qua non&quot;, which is itself too prolix to really qualify as common. The main thing that saves &quot;sine qua non&quot; from being jargon, is that it's not in any way discipline-specific. It's as likely to show up in a formal academic paper related to algebraic topology, as it is to show up in a formal academic paper related to medieval literature. This puts it into the same general category as e.g. &quot;albeit&quot;, &quot;je ne sais quoi&quot;, or &quot;prolix&quot;.
