Thanks for the completely useless 'non-explanation'! I know it's tidally locked! I know that term, others on this forum might not, though might know the answer to my query!
I'd like to know WHY (as in 'how come') it's tidally locked!

I'm assuming you mean the acronym of lack of f@#$&$# talent
No idea what you mean.....?! It’s all about the loft on the tee on the 1st at RA....

you asked why its always the same face we see.......
If you want to know about tidal locking and how it happens then thats a much longer explanation, which would probably be easier to link to rather than type it out my self.

No just go straight on or turn right.
BM did this to me today, went to overtake him and he turned right in front of me £&#+* hole.

The answer is unfortunately 'because it is' The moon rotates about its axis at the same proportional rate that it rotates around the earth, resulting in the same side always pointing towards us. Why this happens is an enigma, just like the ratio of the Moon and the Sun when in alignment with the earth that creates a total ecclipse.

Total versus Partial eclipses isn't an issue - as the period of the 2 cycles involved are different. It's the absolute harmony of lunar rotation and orbit that indeed, appears to be an enigma. Though it's not! It's all about gravity and the interaction of the Earth and moon. The same effect, tidal locking that RH quoted means our days are getting longer too!
And indeed, the (almost) perfect ratio of sizes/distance is another - though perfect total eclipse isn't always the case, as the moon's slightly elliptic orbit means the ratio of sizes varies slightly.

Entropy and enthalpy in thermodynamics - never understood it , and ‘J notation’ - who needs to know the square root of minus one anyway.
Both of the above risked my sanity back in day and I gave up on my HNC studies after completing 18 months of the 2 year course and concentrated on beer and girls.
Never regretted it until I came to leave the forces and needed higher formal qualifications to get the interviews.

That could also explain the shoddy workmanship!

My dogs adore cucumbers. They'll demolish a whole one in seconds. I decided to put some in my cheese sandwich and tasted the blighter for hours later. Told David to slap me if I EVER suggest eating cucumber again!

So much confuses - me but for starters. Bike gears. So the left shifter moves the chain on the front chain ring and the right one the rear. So how come the front one has to be in the big ring to go up a gear and the rear one the opposite? How come the bigger chain ring on the front adds tension and the opposite on the back? Is it termed "up" or "down" a gear when you change to add resistance??
On my hybrid there is a middle front chain ring to contend with and, whilst the numbers tell me which gear I'm in, I have to take a moment everytime to think "am I moving the chain up or down on the front and/or up or down on the rear to figure which shifter to use". So I know if it's using gravity it's the easy flick changer and if it's moving up the rings it's the other one but why are they opposite??

Veggies and fruit right up there as top treats for ours, except celery - I get that. Barley sort of ate it with a curled lip and Daisy kept looking at him and trying it again before spitting it out!

Why / how does an e appear on my computer screen, when I type e on my keyboard? Ok, so simply, I typed the e key, but look beyong that, hmm.
A computer is a massive number of switches, on / off, that is that. Binary. So if I chain loads of switches together, I can get an e? Bet I don't.

People using language in a literal context who get irate when you point that out.
