It sounds like you met a bunch of arseholes tbh. Sorry about them. We are not all like that. The only people who I have experience with who are overly classist, tend to be a bit older (50+) and consider themselves above other people, and ar

Perhaps as a means of distributing spores? The higher up the spores are released the further they will spread.

To be blunt. I think you are jumping to conclusions with saying this implies/suggests life is a simulation. You are completely right to point out that is is a bit weird. But then there are a bunch of logical steps (such as looking for

There are plenty of ways that a protein could be mis-folded. There is a lot of bumpiness in a cell (though this is unlikely to lead to this). A random mutation (through some sort of radiation) could change a piece of DNA or RNA, causing the

The processing of successful H1B visas seems to be taking much longer this year than in previous years. Could you shed some light on to why this is?

Do you have any book recommendations on this topic?

The method these use, retracting the blade, and jamming it into a block of metal to stop the momentum would not work on a aircraft. This method (whilst pretty amazing) does not work outside of a static machine. You would need a couple of to

Modern mma has a focus on fighting and not on displays. So it's really no surprise that you got good at a new discipline when you practiced it. It's really just a matter of what you are aiming for. I think the skepticism is pretty

I'm saying that intent informs morality. eg: Murder and Man Slaughter.

From a moral standpoint, it doesn't matter if the horse enjoys it. The point is the get the semen, not for the horse to enjoy it. Whereas with the dolphin example, the point was for the dolphin to enjoy it. There was no "morally p

I haven't watched a great deal of BBT, i'm not a fan, just what I've caught watching with other people. I've never seen an episode where they were depicted in actually doing work, just in talking about their social group

What are you talking about! You just walk to the airport and fly straight to London city! But in all seriousness, that does look pretty poorly connected, but it also looks like the only place. Some people I know from Slough, Kew, and Watfor

The driving age for cars is 17 in the UK. I also disagree that anywhere in London requires a car. And doubly that anyone from the perimeter requires a car early on. I know many people who lived in these areas and did not learn to drive. Sma

Many languages also gender chairs. Does this humanize them?

That's a great explanation of some of the benefits! These are the most important in my opinion: "You can make those from the air too. Drought? Use fusion power to run desalination plants. Arable land becomes a non-issue with fusio

From what i've read[0] it will remove about a third of the cost (probably less). About a third of energy cost goes on fuel (now almost 0), a third on the grid, and a third on the station (now probably more). Whilst a 20-30% reduction i

In the UK the suicide rate amongst University students (young, often healthy, in education) is significantly higher (2017 95 suicides[0], about 2 million students[1]), about twice as high. I don't think this is an uncommon number in an

Have you considered buying a small laptop??? I use my iPad purely for consuming, and the laptop for all that you mention. I do agree that there is a gap between the two though, an Apple product similar to the Microsoft Surface (pro). But I

I think the problem is not with smart phones, but with the ecosystem around them. Eg, Apple, and iTunes. Android, and google docs

I think sometimes, not a big deal. The problem is if you do it to excess. When you would rather stay in and get high, than meet up with friends, drop out of school etc. When you are not living up to what you consider successful for yourself

I imagine they are moving away from pre-paid cards, and towards full accounts. The pre-paid cards were just there to get them off the ground, and isn't their main focus anymore. They recently released a savings "pot" (how the

My, completely amateur, idea would be that, there are two major regions in China for centralised power. Beijing and Shanghai. Now with the massive growth in the Peal River Delta region, there is a base for a third major region. Currently it

I've never heard of this dynamic between the individual cities/regions and the central planners before. But it makes complete sense. Most of my reading on the Pearl River Delta is about re-integration Hong Kong and Macau. Do you h

Oh almost certainly! Earth grown animals have been found alive on the outside of space stations [0]. Dumping a bunch of earth stuff in these places would likely lead to a new ecosystem. So long as there was an energy source, like thermal ve

I think it might work quite well actually. They could certainly not work with any of the biological systems as ours, such as proteins and fats etc. But I think it is likely that there would be internal subdivisions in a complex life-form. T

I would be very surprised to see life anything like life on earth 10,000 years ago in our solar system. No planet in our solar system can support that level of bio diversity. They are either too hot, small, cold. Additionally none of them h

I think this could also relate to the wood from the trees surrounding an infected tree. These can often also be cut down as a kind of quarantine, and are likely to have good quality wood.
