On the TV show "Alive," people were occasionally trapping mice and eating them, and the show would show trivia like how many calories were in the food. I think it was worth something like 30 calories for a mouse. Virtually nothing

There's a similar game (I think more than one) on Alexa. So you can, kinda. I think it's called magic door.

I think you guys agree, because I (mostly) agree with both of you. You cook the pasta al dente on purpose, to avoid mushiness with the sauce later. But the finished product isn't al dente--it was a temporary state. I didn't realiz

In my area we have a prion disease called CWD in the whitetail deer population. There's basically no way to destroy them in the wild. You have to bleach or burn the wilderness. They've had some suspicions that the prion has infect

What are the chances that, from an outside perspective, that we are just one variety of life form on the planet? Sure, they can make distinctions about which variety of us (e.g. humans, not dogs) have the most intelligence or something--but

Is this the best year? One that stands out for me is my Surface Pro Tablet. I really like having a full-pc OS in a really portable format, and I've been using it to draw. I'm using it to substitute for an 18-inch laptop that I use

Kinda related, this is the first "bionic" tech that I'm interested in--basically embedded AirPods Max. I think it's interesting because it's not really out of reach. It's just a matter of putting current tech i

Thanks for the well-wishes. We've been established a long time (about to celebrate 11 years) and I am very financially conservative, so the business had enough capital to go multiple years if we were closed down (no payroll, minimal ut

No, we shouldn't argue about which one is better. If we're coaching the team that lost 0-8, we shouldn't try to run the playbook of the team that lost 1-9 in the next game. Especially when that playbook cripples our players i

I think you're trying to argue GP's point, but you've only confirmed it, because you're misrepresenting both the facts and the traditional advice. "Treat every gun as if it were loaded" is the traditional advic
