As compared to 30 years ago. if you follow the graph on the article that I assume you are referring to that was on the front page a few weeks ago, the number of sexual partners in the 1900s was 2-3. Its predicted that number of sexual partn

Its because the engineering tollerances on new appliances are tiny, I recently installed an oven and the sheet metal couldnt be more than 1/16' thick (1.5mm). I was stunned by the fact i could probably punch through it.

Looks great but with many thin laptops especially 17 in models they look like i can just bend them in half. This looks no different or am I missing something?

This is compounded by the fact that you cannot in fact build more lanes to handle traffic. Supply just meets demand. https://www.wired.com/2014/06/wuwt-traffic-induced-demand/

This is basically an article that says go watch a video by Scott Manly who is a very good communicator about space topics. He has lots of videos about various Apollo era topics and recent events that are particularly convoluted when they c

If the electrical grid in the US to go down for greater than 2 weeks I think that could be an example of systematic shutdown that would be something big enough to sufficiently scare people into radically different habits.

As someone who has a 3d printer running about a quarter of the time less than 10 feet away from me hearing that it could be bad for me is alarming that it could be harming me. (Other than the lost sleep because its loud) When though of as a

The purchasing of the new best thing can also be the case, take for example that there hasn't been a flagship phone that actually fits in most peoples single hand since the SE and yet I know lots of people that will just "buy the

A counter point is that as solar and wind decrease the cost for intermittent the cost of reliable constant power may actually increase due to the shutdown of coal plants and the potential of new carbon taxes which would functionally provide

One of the main benefits of nuclear power is that you can take coal fired base load power plants offline which are a major producer of emissions. The need for large amounts of base energy consumption will never go away, it will increase as

Blast furnaces do not need fuel to create iron, the process in which iron oxide is converted to iron is endothermic but the coke itself is the fuel in the furnace. It actually is necessary to do this to produce carbon monoxide which reacts

I find anecdotally that someone usually has something that they are the 1/1000 over. For some people it's comment threads or sharing articles with friends but somewhere they fall into a 1/1000 category where they put their cr

I just laughed out loud because I have never heard of the term McMansion before but every single house that I have been seeing go up in Dallas lately fits that description so elegantly. They do look like a mish mash of wierd things but when

I am commonly told I am a good cook when I make stuff and I just say I follow the instructions. I guess when you spend a lot of time writing instructions you come to appreciate when people write them for you.

Anyone in the field that can say as to when this is actually feasible? It says that they have investigated production by the ton but went back to improving its properties. Are we talking 10 years? 20? 50? I just want a ballpark estimate.

This like many "this is the future of weaponry" articles doesn't say what specific this is to fix. There is no problem it is trying to solve it seems like. It is designed to be different without a clear overarching purpose. W

Space elevators can be used this way because once the tether goes beyond geostationary orbit the tether is going above orbital velocity. Go far enough and its above escape velocity. So you just drag a probe out far enough and let go and it

As someone whos AC at work died during the summer in Dallas my productivity after the AC went out was a quarter to a fifth of my output before. The cost to my employer for that reduction is well worth the cost of AC.

That is if you are doing lines, if injected or smoked the chance of OD is higher but remember that is LD50 you can still die at much lower doses.

LD50 for cocaine in mice is 94 mg/kg and a line is 35 - 100 mg according to wikipedia. So a large line per kilogram will probably kill you.

I was also confused at one point why someone would go hunting until i had it explained to me: it's a challege at its core. People go hunting because even with rifles it is still hard to identify a target and without alerting it, fire.

So the government created a organization to help with commercialization of space, I don't see how this will help because launch costs are still high and they still have to go through the FAA to launch. Yes launch prices will come down

Even if you go into default because it is a student loan the IRS will garnish any return and send it to the creditor and of course your credit score will drop. Doing so may force a more reasonable interest rate than what you previously. I a

I highly recommend anyone to convert to RPN but it does make you feel like a idiot when you can't use a normal calculator for the minute it takes to switch back over to normal. I find it doubly frustrating though to use a normal one be

Ironically the lack of these stressors may also contribute to people strengthening family bonds because they cannot survive without them.

This also though could be applied to any system that just happens to have a massive amount of work to get it even above the ground as well. Just change the language to the behemoth in your field of choice and it applies.

That would work to make it so that tax money doesn't get used on brai drain but when you are facing double the income to move to the states it is still economically viable to move. I only see your solution solving cost of subsidies not
