The headphones my parents purchased in the 1970s still work perfectly fine, actually. They haven't handed them down, though, as they still have them. This was extremely common in the past. There are plenty of people's grandparents

Dr. Loeb was just a guest on the NPR show "Science Friday" last week, explaining that Science has an obligation to explore these questions instead of dogmatically refusing to explore the possibilities. Interesting listen: https:&

In my experience, wearing glasses that are either too strong _or_ too weak for your myopia will lead to headaches. Lots of headaches.

This is from a reply they made to a comment on the article: "Hi, you are right, we take available sensors and just change their shape before packaging. It makes it a plug-and play product, with no need to have a specific PCB developmen

I would say to the writer of that quote: Hey, if the only women who are attractive to you are servile robots with no opinions of their own, then enjoy your AI girlfriend! All the while, I'm sure that the patrons of this are all slim, f

It says two things: 1. Many of those men don't want a real woman: they want a servant to mold to their every whim instead of a real person with her own interests, desires, and opinions. 2. Women are already aware of an accustomed to be

Yeah, this false belief that some insist on clinging to, that only rich or gorgeously handsome men get a woman is so tiring. The world is filled with average or really not-good-looking guys with great girlfriends and wives. However, these a

If you could convince incel types to see women as actual people (not objects they are entitled to own), and as a consequence to see more types of women as desirable (not only the most model-like or mainstream media-like), then far more of t

NASA studies of common houseplants show that they do a great deal of air cleaning, removing noxious industrial chemicals and pollutants from the air. Spider plants, for example, excel at this. So, it isn't your imagination. Science has

No competent medical professional ever uses the term "herd immunity" in any instance where they are not talking about a vaccine. Without a vaccine to _create_ herd immunity, what you are proposing is just sitting back and willfull
