Every other country "claiming" to be communist. Actual marxist communism has never been achieved. China is as close to a real communist nation that IS NOT a military or totalitarian dictatorship.

Post-Maoist China is anything but communism. Reading the quotes by Deng Xiaoping really shows how much he loved capitalism, the only thing that prevented him from being a liberal was his opposition towards democracy. In fact, I would go so far to say that China is so capitalist, that it makes American capitalism appear red to them.

When cooking popcorn on the stove, why is it better to slide the pot along the burner in a circular motion as opposed to just letting it sit still?

Go down to the supermarket and find a frozen chicken. See what the Use by Date is.
That should give a good estimation.

Hey man, when you eat any meat or fish raw, you get the highest quality of flavor and texture. Don't you just want pick up a piece of raw chicken and eat it after looking at that picture?

Chicken is the worst. No.
The unrealistic sound of these propositions is indicative, not of their utopian character, but of the strength of the forces which prevent their realization.

Probably because you have two goals:

a) popping all the corn
b) not burning any of the popped corn

Now, if you just let the pot sit there, what is going to happen is that first some of the corn on the bottom pops, propelling some of the unpopped corn to the upper layers where there is more heat. Then, a lot of the heat will get absorbed by the already popped corn at the bottom, blackening it and burning it to the pot. (There is a word for this in German (anbrennen), but apparently not in english)

If you slide the pot around, the unpopped corn with a higher density will accumulate at the bottom, where there is more heat, and no one corn will be directly on the metal of the pot with the same side for a long enough time to burn to the pot, because they are constantly turning and moving.

TL;DR to Distribute the heat more evenly

If I save a screenshot of something, not in SC2, what's the best format to save it as, baring in mind I'm looking to edit it in Gimp, so .xcf would be best? However Gimp is still complicated for me, so I also use paint.net a fair bit too, which doesn't use .xcf.

So .bmp?

I can convert it to .png for final use, so don't want to loose any quality until then. File size isn't an issue.

.png is lossless and can be opened with GIMP and Paint. Not sure if that helps.

For images with text and large areas of solid color, png is both small and lossless.

Photo (or other photo-like image): png is (needlessly) large for photos. Tiff is probably your best bet for a lossless format, but you won't see much (if any) difference with jpeg in the end product if you have high resolution images.

So for a picture of around 1920x1080 including text, blocks of solid colour, jpeg would give the best final results?

I say no because you said size is not an issue and jpeg isn't lossless.

Whilst editing it in Gimp or Paint.net size isn't important, but I thought to also ask about a final file type format.

Acrofales is right about probably not noticing a difference with jpg in that case. It will be much smaller.
