If you funnel all the traffic that needs to turn in the next 2 miles into a one-lane access road, you're just going to have them backed up past the exit on the main road. The reason no one has implemented this system is that it wouldn&

The shipwreck theory isn't that horses were introduced to the Americas by a shipwreck. It's specifically the Chincoteague and Assateague ponies that are being discussed here. There's a lot of speculation as to how they ende

Obviously they don't work by magical vibration, but are you sure they don't work at all? If the midwife feels and acts more confident from having that tool or the mother feels more relaxed because she thinks they will make the pro

I'd say the more personable engineer is the more qualified engineer even if their technical knowledge is less. Being able to deal with other people is a massive part of being good at the job.

I wouldn't call the Great Plains silent at all. The sounds are different from the forested East, but there's a lot more going on than wind. Newspapers have never been immune to taking common misunderstandings and sensationalizin

I've never heard it called a humidex index, just heat index. It's pretty invaluable here where the humidity gets high enough that your sweat doesn't evaporate. In the desert, I just had to wear sunscreen and keep drinking w

Maybe I'm nitpicking, but to say it was nearly 40 Celsius when the recorded temp was 38 C is an exaggeration. When I lived in New Mexico, it would hit 40 C for a couple days at a time in the summer. That sucked. Where I'm at in

Are the only healthcare professionals you know in psych wards? Dark humor and "dehumanize"-ing patients is standard coping for nurses, doctors, and basically anyone else who deals with the physically and mentally ill. That doesn&#

You understand that most of these are examples of mental illness, right? It would be great if schizophrenic people would behave themselves, but kind of the whole deal is that they can't.

If it helps, I wouldn't say it's a disorder since it appears that basically everyone has a habit like this. It's probably a byproduct of some kind of adaptive advantage, but I don't have it in me to speculate exactly wh

Do they discuss the draw weight of the bow or any measurements they made to determine that the weapons were imparting the same damage as would have been common historically? It takes a while to work up to the sort of draw weight that was c

I can find you a dozen such crossings within an hour of my house. If you care to head into the properly rural part of any state, you'll find they're everywhere. There ought to be flashing lights and arms at every one, but no one

Yeah, I think that shouldn't be able to be trademarked. I also work for a company with a trademarked color. It's ridiculous for us too. Though at least ours is a distinctive and kind of unusual shade rather than one of the prim

This one crosses the line for me. There's a reason tools are brightly colored. It makes them easier to find in the mess of whatever you're trying to build or repair. If a yellow multimeter with a dark grey face can be trademark

I didn't know they had them in Australia too. It's a common chip flavor in Canada along with ketchup. It's completely foreign to me too. I'm sure they're tasty, but I'm having trouble imagining what they woul

There's no reason to expect that in modern giraffes, increased neck length would lead to increased opportunities to reproduce. Or even a better chance of obtaining food. Nature is full of trade-offs. There's a balance between h

Honestly I'm surprised it's even on the market. For as long as it's taking to get fairly harmless marijuana approved for medical use, I'm not sure if any actual rational reason why Xyrem isn't facing the same issue

I suppose it's west of the Mississippi, but it's a long ways west. I'd imagine it's around the 100th meridian then. That goes through the middle of Kansas and is where you start to expect to see more western species as

There's something about routine diagnostics that causes docs to not put a lot of effort into interpreting the data. I had a sleep study plus MSLT done because my doctor suspected narcolepsy. The MSLT results came back just shy of the
