You dont need another icon. Play for playing all steps in succession. Pause for pausing play. Next track for next step in the folding. Its the most logical. You should see each step as a new track and the whole origami object as an album

I totally agree. You COULD use play for next step. But the convention is that the next step is used by the "next track" button. This is because play usually also goes to "next track" and then plays it. Play should contin

Thermohaline circulation might not be the cause of warmer Europe although many people believe it is. Its probably mostly because of the planetary effect which lets the wind flow in a typical pattern. Europe is a sea climate. Eastern US is

Real nasty bunch. Used to burn whole parts of england only a few centuries ago. They'd probably still do it if it weren't for the might of the British Navy.

Its a Dutch invention. We have tons of them here everywhere. Think they got introduced somewhere at the end of the 20th century.

I dont understand why people are talking about charging times. You would think that swapping batteries would be a trivial fix for that problem. It could even be done by large batches of relatively-easy-to-handle battery packs. You could eve

It is literally speculation, in the literal sense of the word. Speculation, as defined by the Cambridge dictionary: the activity of guessing possible answers to a question without having enough information to be certain. The question here

We dont know this. It's all speculation. All of it. And it's speculation of a winner. So it's not surprising that it conveniently frames the willing destruction of 100,000 people as the lesser of two evils. Also, many people

I find it fascinating that "STEM people" think all problems are best solved with logic and rhetoric instead of intuition and anecdotal evidence. While in real life many things simply cannot be measured and we must act on hunches o

I¹ get it. The STEM educated people are better at technical stuff like math and logic, thus they must be a lot more enlightened than these non-STEM journalists that walk around in the darkness of the intellectual void. We smart, They stupid

Maybe not with the once per quarter road trip. That might not be a bad frequency for renting a nice road trip vehicle. But I generally agree with what you are saying.

Finally! Someone who says it the way I see it. I believe the personal-responsibility-as-a-framework (PRAAF) for solving pollution problems is a joke. I genuinely believe that big petrochemical companies and other stakeholders pushed this st

There is a missing piece of information here. Lower vehicle speeds are actually worsen pollution per mile. The optimum fuel economy for most ice vehicles is around 40 miles/hour. Anything below or above that will increase the pollution

This is a fable. Many people reached old age in the empire and even the middle ages. A low "Life expectancy" doesnt mean people didnt grow old. It just means that many people die prematurely of (now) preventable things. Death of t

Where did I assert there was more? I merely say that defaulting to materialism is not necessarily merited when you have so little evidence. I usually tend to take your stance, but nowadays I wish for more observations. Defaulting to materia

What would suggest it is strictly within the bounds of materialism? There must be some observation that underpins your idea that it is within the bounds of materialism to claim it is the simplest and most logical explanation. I'm not s
