What happens when there's no immediate "physically hurting them", but instead long-term damage that is not immediately obvious? I ask because dumping waste could potentially be "not hurting others" in an immediate s

Wouldn't our current understanding of chemistry be enough to prove that turning water into wine is not possible? Or viceversa, be able to prove that it is possible? I.e. if we had the capability to transmute elements (which I think is

I don't think I understand how are disproven ideas a subset of unproven ones. Disproven means, "proven to be false", while unproven means there is no proof yet, either positive or negative, right? How can one be a subset of t

I had a friend that liked the effects of Modafinil, but would complain of bad headaches every time they took some. Even less than 1 quarter of tablet would be enough to produce the bad effects. Is that something that happens just to some pe

I think I've seen them before, but very rarely. I guess I'll need to look harder. Thanks for the suggestion

I never realized how strong caffeine actually is, until I cut down my 5-6 cups a day intake to just 1 in the morning. Now very occasionally (perhaps once every couple of months) I drink another cup after lunch (but never after 4PM, or I won

Finer flour in the sense of finely ground, or in the sense of higer quality? I suspect it's the latter but am curious. Also, what would make flour be of higher quality?

Ah, I see what you mean by "simply". Yeah, I guess there's definitely a ton of side effects depending on which way you go. However, the optics of giving banks more "free" money at the expense of "the people&quo

The government could ask the banks for their list of debtors, and then transfer an amount of money equal to the sum of all debts, on the condition that the banks write off said debtors, no? Not sure what side effects this could cause but it

Do you have any links about that? I've never heard of this correlation and have friends that became parents at 50 so I am curious. I know that the older you get, the riskier it is to have children, but had no idea it was a linear corre

Any idea why would they put the latrines next to, or apparently even _inside_ the kitchen? I get that they might not haven been aware of germs or correlated bathrooms with disease or whatever, but just based on the odors alone, it seems a s

That's the point of touchscreens I think. Being able to offer users a myriad of config options without the need for tons of knobs. Not saying I like it, but a lot of people seem to. I guess the ideal setup would be knobs for essential

Perhaps it would be useful to have a sort of different shade of green/yellow/red (perhaps striped?) indicating it's a value determined by automatic processes, not yet confirmed by a human. At least that way, as a user of the

Do you have any links about the tarsnap vulnerability? I've been using it for a few years and was not aware of it so would be great to know if any backups were affected.
