 comment English Language & Usage: When should “who” or “whom” be used?
@moioci Perhaps a better phrasing would be: "Should I use who or whom in [this sentence], and why?" This might help to engage the experts more.

 comment Home Improvement: Is my insurance going to cover me if I hurt myself doing <x>?
This would probably be a life insurance matter (if at all), rather than relating to home contents or home building insurance.

 comment Astronomy: What kind of telecommunication systems do the astronauts use in space?
@mehper Assuming you mean Earth-to-space communications, this is an interesting question in general, and I'd say vaguely on-topic here because astronomers don't just use telescopes in the visible spectrum; an understanding of other electromagnetic communications applications (especially those pointed at the Earth) may be useful.
