Instead of the other way, probably just a typo. From what I understand, not sure if correct, the spine has a weird role. If you touch a hot stove with your hand you instinctively jerk your hand back but there is a small delay until your br

Exactly! When I was a kid in the 1970s we had pop on Friday nights a 750ml bottle and a large bag of potato chips shared between my family of four. Now you see people who drink pop for every meal and for a snack between meals and a huge dr

Low end customers and Samsung? The Gear S smart watch is stand-alone (or tether), has 3G cellular, wifi and looks far better than the Apple watch. It will probably cost about the same as the Apple watch too.

Me too but then if you think about it you can lay a cable around the biggest part of the earth the equator that's about 40,000km. If you have a geostationary satellite that's about 35,000km. Pretty close but latency is a tiny bit

It's the same here really since most people live on the coast so yeah most of the population would be a few meters above seal level. We've lost so much land and people argue about reclaiming some of the land, some places have los

Picture these pictures in reverse but at a coastline then think of the dry after as the normal before and the water as the after. As a person who lives on a very low island, average 20m asl, climate change is going to be rough :{

A Tim Hortons is about $2.10 a Starbucks grande is about $2.30 but it has more (50ml?) in it compared to a medium Tim's. And if you buy with a Starbucks card and drink inside you get a free refill so it's now almost half the cost

I'm 45 and I spend way too much time gaming especially CoD it's fun to get top score and hear the little kids whine. A fast map like the now ancient classic Nuke Town with a small submachine gun, every speed perk I can add and a R

Not necessarily, sweet potatoes are OK for people with diabetes to eat but one of the worst things a person with diabetes can eat, other than raw white sugar, is a banana. Both sides of my skinny family have diabetes, not everyone but most

The oil boom in northern Alberta, Canada is another good example of high paying jobs without any skill or at least education. Many small towns and fishing villages have been de-populated of men aged 20 to their 40s who went to work in the

Scheduling is so amazing when you are first exposed to it, I never used to work shift work until a few years ago but it was well-organized; minimum two weeks posting of your schedule, very few late/early shifts. Then as the years went

Canadian here as well I see some people in shorts at 10C maybe even at 0C mostly "dudes" in their 20s and late teens. I even see bigger (fatter) guys in shorts in the middle of winter now it seems to be a thing. After a cold wint

Someone (a jogger/runner?) on reddit a few days ago made an interesting observation, maybe this was known. The Fibonacci sequence can be used as a rough guide to convert km to miles and vice versa. 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34 The
