Olive oil is still often used to clean out ear wax (which does cause intense ear aches). Are you sure it was the garlic and not the oil? See eg http://www.uhs.nhs.uk/ourservices/ear,noseandthroat/audiolog... (for

Yes, I avoided the word 'arbitrary'. The references make it clear that what they're dealing with is the computable reals - only a countably infinite subset of R. Other representations get used too (like streams of dyadic rati

What they actually said was "This is the smallest a cell can be and still accommodate enough material to sustain life" - this was shortened in the lede. But "as small as life can get" is a thing that has been studied, eg

The original creator of Black Books was Channel 4, not the BBC. BBC Worldwide (a for-profit subsidiary of the BBC) does license shows to other markets on behalf of more than just the BBC, though - I expect if you're watching it outside

Yes, and when each player says a colour, they're still only right 50% of the time. But the strategy means the cases where you'd be wrong are the same cases that others would also vote incorrectly, but the cases where you're r

I was surprised when I read that, since I've implemented those RFCs before and didn't remember this coming up - so I checked. Unfortunately, that's just a problem with the wikipedia article. The only one listed there as an RF

An electric-assist bakfiets (dutch-style cargo bike) costs around €1600 - way less than this thing; and it works when out of juice. The scooter is probably a bit faster, but with the speed of city traffic and 30km/h / 20mph zones

Hmm, it's not the one I'd pick. I cycled through Rocroi a couple of years ago, it's much more impressive from the air than it is on the ground - you're mainly looking at earthworks, and can't really see the plan. I

I tried to look up the original research for the table of what the Fortune 500 are after, and there's something odd there. The paper was Cassel, R.N.; Kolstad, R. (1998). "The critical job-skills requirements for the 21st century

Some of the examples given are fairly dubious, were those really intended to be running? I'll grant the Greek vase but the statue of Khonsu has the left arm forward not in a running motion, but to grip his staff, which has gone missing
