I've heard people say the opposite i.e. that e-cigarettes make it too easy for people to take up smoking especially the flavoured tobacco which was also banned here. Although such speculation is just paranoid ranting without proof.

I'm not a smoker but as coincidence would have it today I was talking to some smokers outside work and a woman joined the group and "lit up" her e-cigarette. They're illegal here but she got it through the mail somehow.

Careful marketing is tricky the phrase "made in America" may not mean what you think it means. I'd say you're looking for "Product of USA" which means a totally different thing i.e. actually made in the USA. I

The main reason I bought a colour laser printer is the ink (toner) doesn't congeal if you don't use the printer for a few months.

The problem is infrared light doesn't go through plastic so at night when video surveillance is most often needed it's useless. An IP66 rated (may be overkill) simple camera is tough to find it may be out there somewhere I'l

Thanks but that's what I would class as industrial. I'm looking for something I can set up at my parents, aunts, uncles places connected either wireless (preferred) or cable to a standard PC (Win/Mac). No offense but that ca

A lot of my usernames for forums, social sites were made a decade ago, others I was just lucky to get but trying to think up email usernames for my parents is infuriating I had to give up and go back to it a few days later. E-mail addresse

I've been trying to find an outside security camera for years my only two requirements are 1. resolution greater than 640x480 2. able to be used outside in temperatures lower than 0°C (preferably -20°C). There's nothing out there

Hey it's Canada we use poutines/decilitre or the ratio of hockey rinks to lacrosse rink, even more rare is the Thicke but that's more for density.

If you're wondering why all the fuss over eggs it's because chickens don't lay eggs in the winter due fewer hours of light. Once electric lights were put in barns eggs were available year round. I doubt in the early 1900s if

Then suck in air for ballast, it may be similar to ocean going vessels they float when idle but need power or wind for propulsion plus ballast to stabilize.

How about flying cars? I've always thought a great idea for a flying car was a van-like vehicle that is either filled with helium or a vacuum, maybe a combination. A blimp-like vehicle that won't deflate or leak would be even bet

It's difficult to discuss this without arguing but what about the name "America" not the "United States of America". There are many countries on the continent of Africa and almost a billion people and nobody would

I thought the article would be about using titanium as part of a carbon-fibre composite not hunks of (alloy) metal as ribs, that seems so old-fashioned.

I read years ago about a car grill coated with something that also "ate smog", but I guess cars don't have grills anymore or the project failed for some other reason.

Yes /r/askscience is great but I find there can be a lot of drama at /r/askhistorians there seems to be a strong clique of users and heavy-handed, strange moderation.

/r/science is nice there are a lot (supposedly) of people who are experts in various scientific fields of study. If in doubt click 'random' to discover new sub-reddits.

I'm about wondering about Switzerland being neutral would that be part of considerations when dealing with political prisoners? And Switzerland is not part of the EU, I'm not sure if that's good or bad in this situation.

Has anyone ever noticed Scientology tends to use a type of Newspeak? A lot of acronyms and initialisms and other obscure, the article states the appendix of 1984 “The whole aim of Newspeak is to narrow the range of thought.” It will rende

My city only got buses about five years ago and most times they're empty a lot is due to inefficiency but also the design of the city. The city streets tend to go away from the city center/harbour but subdivisions are perpendicul
