I am not sure that "starting something" is a good idea when one of the two alternatives can be completed succesfully by applying yourself diligently (i.e. studying hard enough to pass with good grades) while the other can fail for

I would agree with you, but the OP claimed: That's a classic but lately a swedish journalist uncovered that the wine we drink in Europe is largely bogus. So I wanted to understand better what "Europe" means in his/her

Thanks, I do know what yeasts are. My point is that (most probably due to the very small quantity of wine we produced) we never added any yeast to the grapes. I.e. fermentation was catalyzed by kloeckera-apiculata [1] which is normally f

This is not what the OP was talking about, though. I do know about faking wood barrel ripening with wood flakes and I heard about "polverina", but the latter is, for what I know, something of the past (and the Ethanol scare in Ita

Source, please? (I am Italian, my family used to own a small vineyard so I have some hands-on experience on wine making, albeit we made it only for our own family). I find the part about "yeasts" a bit difficult to believe, but I

I think that the author is trying too hard to create sensationalism by stressing how the person in the article had decided that "math was not for him", by saying stuff like: After that bad math test in elementary school, Huh says

I suppose (but I am just a layman) that animals do not really have any sense of time. They can express "I am hungry" or "I am extremely hungry" but they cannot express "I have told you I am hungry for the last 20 mi

Paul Watzlawick in his "Pragmatics of Human Communications" explains that (at least so far) animals seem unable to meta-communicate (in the sense of communicating about communication). If I remember correctly (it has been decades)

Now that we are discussing Central Planned Economy I'd like to drop a link to a fascinating and mostly forgotten attempt to make it work in a more "democratic" way in Chile, during the short-lived Allende government: https:&

Yes, precisely that - I use I-Ching instead. I plan to write a bit more about this, but I haven't got around it yet. In the meantime, everyone interested in using I-Ching (or any other kind of "oracle device") to re-evaluate
