There is no such thing as a Stupid Question!

Don’t be embarrassed of your curiosity; everyone has questions that they may feel uncomfortable asking certain people, so this place gives you a nice area not to be judged about asking it. Everyone here is willing to help. All questions are welcome such as to how to change oil, to how to tie shoes. All questions are welcome - except clear trolls, please don’t be that guy. Thanks for reading all of this, even if you didn’t read all of this, and your eye started somewhere else have a watermelon slice.
