Because while it has the same angular velocity in stationary orbit, it has vastly different linear velocity. Both are going around 7E-5 radians per second, but the ship is going around 3000 m/s while the surface moves at around 460 m/s. Which means a big change in velocity, its just more effective to use the atmosphere to slow you down than to use a whole bunch of fuel to slow you down. But that being said it is possible to follow a path that would look like its coming straight down, but you would have to pay for all that 2500 m/s delta V yourself instead of using the air.

Dude just had a really selfish nature. He probably always knew that he'd do anything to win the money once he knew what the stakes were. Any opportunity to minimise everyone else's chances was something he had to take, in this zero sum game. Might not have occurred to him he'd need solid allies for future games, or maybe he was confident that he'd be able to trick anybody, if it came to that.

I don’t recall it ever being said that Sauron ever considered this an important goal. Whenever he’s talked about it seems he’s always happy to try and dominate the world for his own gratification (It must be said he would not be able to do this if Morgoth came back and destroyed everything)

Joker is straight crazy, if you're a member of a rival gang, he sees you as fair game. He'd think nothing of killing or maiming or torturing you. If you're in Joker's gang, Two-Face or Penguin wouldn't touch you, they don't want to have Joker turn on them.

As soon as your big sell order hits the market, people see that and the prices offered to buy will start to drop. If you split your order in multiple small orders then the execution of those will similarly make the price start to go down. You can't just buy or sell an arbitrary amount at the current price, only whichever volume is on offer at that price at the moment. So what doesn't happen is: Step 1) Buy 1 million shares at 10 USD. Step 2) Price goes up. Step 3) Sell 1 million shares at 12 USD. It's more like: Step 1) Try to buy 1 million shares at 10 USD. You get some at 10 USD some at 11USD some at 12 USD some at 13 USD some at 14 USD and some at 15 USD. Step 2) Try to sell at 15 USD? You get some at 15, some at 14, some at 13 etc. Net profit: Nothing.

Read Toril Moi’s *Revolution of the Ordinary*, Rita Felski’s *The Limit’s of Critique*, and Amanda Anderson’s *The Way We Argue Now*. All three come out of a dissatisfaction with the dominance of Theory and all propose philosophically informed alternatives.

Think of human savants of our world. They can do one task better than any other human on the planet - some can match insanely huge numbers. Some can reproduce any music after hearing it once. Some can sculpt incredible works of art. But the *most* savant person is incapable of doing anything other than that. They cannot function in society. The guy who can multiple two 10-digit numbers instantly can't even dress himself. Imagine is a person can do all that savant stuff, and still being able to function normally. That is a mentat. They have unlocked all the savant side of their brain while not turning off the functioning part of their brain. That is what the juice of sapho does. But just like people, not all mentats are created equal. Some are vastly superior to other people. Piter De Vries would be if you or me became a mentat. Thufir Hawat is the Stephen Hawking of mentats. So much that the Baron gloats about having him in the '84 Dune.

Air is made of tiny particles that can absorb and bend light. When there are lots of lights in one area the air bends the light in all different directions. You see this bending as a faint glow around cities that overpowers the ambient light from stars.

As with any sort of absolute statement, the validity of it depends on what things you prioritize. If the most important thing to you is being able to build a debt-free life and support a nuclear family on a modest job, then you could say that millennials are pretty screwed, because it's next to impossible to have that kind of life without incurring debt these days. And to many people, that IS what matters, so it's not unreasonable for them to see themselves as struggling compared to previous generations, even acknowledging that we have a lot of cool shit that no one had before. Being able to look up porn at a moment's notice isn't necessarily worth the negatives.

This is the case of the ONI making some lemonade. Production of the Spartans was a new step for the human species, an adaptation to deal with the new threats we found seemingly everywhere we looked once we got out into the stars. It wasn't simply about combat, it was about moving the species forward as a whole so that we'd be in a position to defend ourselves effectively from monstrosities that had been the exclusive domain of fiction writers and holo producers just 20 years earlier. When 062 was injured, ONI was put in the difficult position - she was physically incapable of being deemed mission effective but she was (for the most part) physically and psychologically intact. ONI could've shoved her in a closet or relegated her to some desk job, but they realized they had an opportunity to conduct a new and entirely unexpected experiment. Can Spartans and non-enhanced humans crossbreed, and if they can, what are the results? Can former Spartans, now so physically dominant that they are effectively their own sub-species, be reintegrated into normal human society? What are the effects of having intelligence enhanced assets in the civilian population? ONI let her "retire" because it was literally the most useful and informative thing 062 could do for the war effort and the species at that point. Unfortunately, all records of their observations are still highly classified.

Either someone had access to buy before that, or a lot of buyers were just faster than you. There's many examples of employees buying the entire stock before the sale goes live. And there's also many examples of people making software to buy tickets as fast as possible (seconds) as soon as sales opens, leaving little chance to people who buy manually.

the concept that rat park operates under is that social creatures need connection to survive and be content. it’s not that they learned a negative outcome of a drug side effect, it’s that they only used and abused morphine if they were alone in their cage. When they had a social realm, they no longer felt the need to fill the “void” that was left by loneliness. The argument is that this extends to humans in that humans find artificial means to replicate their lack of social support. From the sociological perspective, it is learned behavior. They learn that the morphine water makes them feel good and so they go back to it until they die. But there are reinforcing factors in that the other rats create a community and in that community, none of them drink the morphine water because it does not benefit them socially. From the psychological perspective, the research I’m aware of is that humans have vices they use for comfort. When life stressors outweigh the social support of the individual, they turn towards whatever vice to bring comfort. Unfortunately, these vices have the power to adversely affect relationships due to stigma. There is plenty of research to suggest that drugs themselves are not addictive in the way that we assume, but rather they become addictive because of extremely bad life circumstance such as homelessness, or there’s a learned response to taking certain drugs that makes them addictive to the individual, only because they’ve been told that these drugs are addictive. Source: I’m a senior Psychology/Sociology double major and I’ve taken 2 social science drug classes within the last 2 years.

You can thank Bulma for that. During the final battle the Z team (except Goku) is teleported back to Earth. Bulma, feeling sorry for Vegeta offers him a place to stay at Capsule Corp because she secretly had feelings for him for unknown reasons. He's never fully trusted until the Cell Saga when he comes to the Z teams aid, however.

The impact is almost non-existent. Even if you added a *solid* five-kilometer layer of matter on top of Earth, that added layer would only increase Earth's volume by about 0.2%. The increase in mass - and therefore gravity - would be similarly insignificant, unless you used materials of ridiculous density. On top of that, a city is nowhere near a solid, there's plenty of empty space(ie. rooms) and it's rare for buildings to exceed that height, even in very advanced settings. All in all, even if all the matter came from outside of the planet, the average inhabitant of the planet wouldn't even notice the difference. You'd need proper equipment to measure it.

Partially because of how far removed we are from them. It takes a fair deal of distance to actually analyze something like that. Additionally, digital media have allowed niche cultures to become far more prominent, leading to each decade to have less of a uniform character.

People are overlooking something crucial. The Spartans crushed everything thrown at them. Everything. Cavalry, monsters, grenades, immortals. Xerxes had no more aces. He can do two things. Throw more slaves at Sparta. These slave warriors don't cause casualties. In fact, the longer the fight goes on, the more intimidated the slaves get. They did and will again rout. The Spartans don't get overrun. It's a game of attrition, right? WRONG. People here who have no understanding of history and the movies forget about the parallel battle going on at sea. Athens was battling with Persia at the same time on sea! With 50 warships. They begun fighting while Leonidas was still going strong. They learned of his demise after they've fight battles already. And remember what happened next in Rise of an Empire? Gorgo, the most badass woman of ancient Greece (also in actual history), wife of Leonidas, comes to join and win on sea. So, on the Sea you have Athens, Sparta, Delphi, Acadia, Olympia, Thebes. Leonidas is probably getting bored of slaughtering Persian slaves when the Greek armies come in to finish the job. Ephialtes, the gollum of Sparta, ruined it big time.

Sweating response might be localized, but body temperature is systemic. Yes, maybe the warmer leg will sweat first, but eventually you're going to warm the body systemically. Here's a simple test you could do. Jump in a hot tub, but don't submerge your head. Eventually your face will turn red even though your head isn't in the water.

Next month the FDA will give full approval for the vaccines. When that happens, employers, and schools will make vaccines mandatory. It will likely be required to be vaccinated to fly, travel to a foreign country, etc. this will lead to a massive number of people being vaccinated, enough to a point where we reach herd immunity and the virus will stop spreading as much If the virus mutates, it won’t mutate more rapidly than we can create new vaccines and currently there’s evidence that current vaccines are still very effective against variants. Lastly, it’s important to remember that humanity has overcome far worse. Covid is 10x deadlier than the flu. That’s bad, but it pales in comparison to the bubonic plague - which wiped out 1/3 to 1/2 of Europe and smallpox - which wiped out over half of the population of the americas

Largely the same as he had been during the war. A traitorous Jedi who joined the separatists and seemed to want nothing more than the total destruction of everything the good people of the Republic/Empire held dear. The Empire made sure to twist the narrative into such that many people believed that Dooku never left the Jedi order at all, and that he was largely responsible for turning all of the Jedi against their former allies. Granted, his name also largely disappeared from the records as the Empire worked to erase knowledge of the Jedi and their history from the galaxy. Decades after the war, only the most hardcore students of history would remember him. Luke pieced together a few scraps of Dooku's life, but not the whole picture.

The point of cop flashers is for people coming to slow down. There could be a wreck where both sets of headlights were broken, or where there are not easily visable hazards (black car parts at night most usually) so cops need to be able to have their lights seen far and potentially over nearby hills at night. You aren't supposed to be passing a cop with flashers above 30 mph in most states anyway, so the need to slow down is kinda purposeful because if you're zooming by a cop and hit a car that lost its lights, well now it's just a bigger wreak than they were called out for in the first place. Pulling people over the lights brightness just means that there is no denying that you know when a cop is pulling you over even if you have your radio so loud you can't hear sirens. It's functional for what it's supposed to do, and that just so happens to be grabbing everyone's attention with an annoyance.

It is a useful distinction if the married woman took her husband's last name. That way you know it is not her maiden name. Whether or not a wife should take her husband's last name is another argument, but it happens very often, so whether or not it is right has little effect on this argument. It is also useful in dating, because it is often the man who does the asking out, and having a woman referred to as mrs. indicates that she is automatically not available. These are a few ways that the title can exist without being sexist, because it has a functional use.

Yes. The centrifugal force you experience will slightly reduce the effective gravity. By how much? **~ 1/300 Cos[Latitude].** Where does this come from? The centripetal acceleration, a_c, is (*omega*)^2 *R, where R is the distance from the axis of rotation (radius of the earth) and *omega* is rotation of the earth in radians per second. The earth makes 1 rotation / 24 hours. So we need to do some unit conversion: *omega* = (1 rot / 24 h)(2 PI radians/ 1 rot)(1 hour / 3600 sec) = 2 PI / 86400 rad/sec = 0.000072722 rad/sec a_c = (0.000072722 rad/sec)^2 (6.3675 x 10^6 m) = 0.03367 m/sec^2 a_g = 9.81 m/sec^2 (gravitational acceleration at the earth's surface). a_c/a_g = 0.03367/9.81 = 0.00343 ~ 1/300 This last bit gives the ratio of how much the centrifugal force affects us versus how much gravity affects us. Lastly, you have to take into account that when you are at the equator, the centrifugal force is more potent than when you move towards the poles of the earth. Basically this is taken into account by remembering that *omega* is determined by the distance from the axis of rotation. At the equator, this is the radius of the earth. As you move north or south, your distance from the *axis* of rotation (not point at the center of the earth) decreases. The formula for this is: R = R_earth Cos[Latitude] Using this as R in the formula for *omega* gives the result in bold above.

Not inspiring enough. N and S were both interested in philosophy as a way of life or ways of being human. N's doesnt deny S's philosophy but rather takes it to the next level. It is like S 2.0. S's proposed way of life was basically taking walks, viewing art, and doing philosophy-which was fine, until N wanted more. S was a pessimist, N actually wasn't satisfied with pessimism- he wanted more. Contrary to popular conception, N was no nihilist, he was just drawing attention to nihilism. Nihilism was the very thing he was fighting against. N didn't want to just view art, he wanted to make his life into a work of art and become everything he could be. In short, S's philosophy wasn't life affirming and inspiring enough. It was very passive.

Bacteria don't have much color on their own, so often they're stained. Things inside a cell, minus, say, chloroplasts, have almost no color at all, so those are almost always stained with a reagent that makes the feature of interest stand out. When you get down to, say, single molecules (yes, we can see single molecules with a microscope) the amount of signal you're dealing with is very, very small. To have a color camera you must divide the signal by at least 1/3, plus extra losses for additional filters, so it's prudent to use a detector that can see all light that hits it in a single channel and use filters to isolate the signal that you want. False coloring for multi-channel imaging for interpretation is very useful, as well. By falsely coloring the signal from images of the same sample taken with multiple filters we can see where the signals overlap more clearly than if we used true coloring. If your question is actually about electron micrographs - they don't see color at all. The color has to be added after the fact, largely for artistic effect.

>Thus Jesus said, "If your brother sins, rebuke him, and if he repents, forgive him.” Luke 17:3 Rebuking is not the same as condemning. We are all our brother's keeper and holding each other to a standard while forgiving those who repent is one of the foundational parts of Christianity. Only God can condemn. I.E. decide that the person who sinned hasn't repented and been cleaned of that sin.

Not as much as you'd think. There wasn't as many off-site backups then as there are now, so most of the financial records were legitimately destroyed. This means nobody has any debts.... but a lot of people got their savings wiped out too. Thats transfers a lot of wealth from the upper classes to the lower classes, but the people hit the hardest are the middle classes, whose retirement savings just got blown up. In the short term, there's a depression. Creditors just lost a lot of assets, and there's no guarantee it won't happen again in the future. This makes loans very difficult to get, and stops the economy dead in its tracks until the people who organized this attack are brought to justice, and some kind of protection against this sort of thing can be figured out. Document backup services become the fastest growing area of the economy for a bit. In the long term, nothing much changes. Destorying those towers affected a tiny fraction of the overall wealth distribution in the world. It disrupts the system, but doesn't bring it down completely. With Tyler dead at the hands of the narrator, there's no one to carry on the crusade. Project mayhem gets tracked down, its members are arrested, and everything goes back to normal.

It seems your father wanted change and was upset when Obama didn't fulfil that promise. Now he seems to be supporting Trump for that very reason. That doesn't necessarily seem like has become more conservative, more that he feels Trump is more likely to deliver the change he wants. In the end though, he's ultimately going to be disappointed. Maybe try approaching it from that angle?

The big donut is a corporate franchise, with Sadie acting as manager. It's a small town and the books always line up (Sadie's production orders are on point). With low overhead, two employees and no accounting funny business, corporate lets the place run itself.

We don't visually lose them. The light that they emit now will never reach us, but the light they emitted before will take longer and longer to reach us, so they'll just gradually get dimmer and more redshifted, but never completely disappear.

Yes, of course. The Republic suceeded for as long as it did by mostly preserving/respecting local authority and not interfering much outside of inter-system disputes. But the needs/wants/troubles of Coruscant, Naboo and Bespin are VERY different, and trying to put them all into one top-down fascist system worked *terribly.* They needed a freakin' PLANET-DESTROYING LASER to keep *their own people* in line. And it didn't even work! The larger the system of government, the worse it will work. The galaxy is simply WAY too big.

"Archangels" would be more analogous to the Valar, especially of you're going to name Lucifer who would be Morgoth. But yes it is effectively a fight of an angel vs a fallen angel. Gandalf describes the fight saying from a distance an onlooker would only see a storm raging about the peak of the mountain. Maiar would also be "the second" if you were to generally rank power. Eru created all the Ainur. The 14 most powerful (and Melkor if you count him) are the Valar, and the others are called Maiar. Just being Maiar does not me equal though, as they all are different.

Electrical resistance. They get hot for the same reason the heating elements in an oven do. However, there is an additional factor involved. Calculation is, on a fundamental level, a form of work. You're flipping physical bits from one to zero and back, and that has a cost. In this case, that cost is expressed in the form of waste heat. Entropy will always have its price. You need to cool them down both because they could get so hot the circuit boards melt, and because increasing the local temperature increases the minimum amount of energy necessary to flip a bit. The computer will get slower at higher temperatures, so keeping it cool is also keeping it functional.

Blood decays without a trace quite early in the process of decomposition, well before any fossilization sets in. It would be a stroke of pure luck to find remains even from a few hundred years ago, let alone hundreds of thousands of years on which the bllod type can be determined.

The events of Winter Soldier mostly happened over a few days. The only point where Tony would have been involved was potentially when SHIELD began the manhunt for Steve, but its unlikely that the corrupt SHIELD leadership wanted to get any of the other Avengers involved as it increases the chance of discovery and could potentially give Steve more allies to fight against them. Tony likely saw what happened in the news after the helicarriers were destroyed, got confirmation from Steve what went down, and decided to sit this one out in order to keep Pepper happy since it appeared Steve/Nat/Nick had it handled.

The car crashed down and with a desperate dive Peter - or as he was known to the people of New York, Octopusman - just managed to avoid the flying steel. Deep laughter rang out across the street and Rhino stepped from the kerb into the middle of the road. "That the best you've got *'Pussyman'*?" Peter pushed upright, *come on* he screamed internally. *This guy is going to kill you if you don't do better than that. Stop trying to brawl with him and start* ***thinking***" Rhino was fast and incredibly strong, stronger than Peter anyway, but he was stupid and predictable. Once again he lowered his head and charged, but this time, instead of trying to tackle him, Peter watched him come and then, at the last moment he flattened himself against the pavement, his boneless limbs allowing him to go completely flat for a moment and let Rhino pass over him. With a thrust, a stream of black ink shot from his hidden pouch and covered the Rhino's face, it's gooey consistency blinding to his skin and proving resistant to being wiped away. After a few steps he came to a halt and pawed at his face, roaring in anger at his impaired vision. Now, half blind, Rhino was vulnerable and Peter made his move. He wrapped his arms around the beast-man and was flexible enough to absorb the thrashing as Rhino fought for freedom. Finally he suckered his mouth to the Rhino's exposed neck, biting and leeching his venom into the huge man's body. It only took a moment before Rhino began to tremble and struggle for breath, then he collapsed to a knee and then finally slid to the ground. Peter loosened his grip and reformed beside him, his suckers aching from hanging on so tight. Sirens were near, the police were coming and it was time for Peter to escape, they still didn't seem to see him as anything more than a criminal. As the first officer approached Peter ripped a manhole cover up and began to slip down. The officer, seeing Rhino gasping for air cried after him. "What have you done? How do we treat him." With a final wave Peter sipped away, calling out "Just treat him for octopus venom!" The officer stood by the hole as his partner caught him up. "Where the hell d'ya take someone to be treated when they've been bitten by an octopus?" The first officer shrugged. "hey, what about that young scientist who's in the paper for all that octopus research?" The other nodded. "Peter something? Good idea and thank God he moved to town at the same time as Octopus man!"

Beep. The elephant trunk is an example of something called a muscular hydrostat. Other examples include the tongues or ordinary mammals such as ourself, the arms of cephalopods, and the wiggly squiggly bodies of roundworms. The tissues of which these structures are made are effectively incompressible, so such a structure's volume is effectively constant. Muscles arranged in longitudinal and circumferential patterns can be selectively contracted to shrink some dimensions, which causes that volume to redistribute: squeeze the structure around its circumference, and it lengthens as it gets thinner. Squeeze along its length, and it shortens while engirthening. Such complementary, opposable sets of muscles are referred to as "antagonist muscles," though we personally do not know whether this word use is limited to muscular hydrostats or applies to other actuator types. You might also like to know that muscular hydrostats are a type of volumetric actuator, a more broad category of hydraulic mechanical stuffs, which includes some of the more powerful means by which arthropods move their limbs, including grasshoppers' and jumping spiders' powerful limb movements. Boop.

Different glasses achieve different things. Wine glasses have long stems to keep you from warming the wine while holding it, as wine is usually sipped. Scotch/Whiskey glasses (drams) are short and wide, to allow for a couple of ice cubes (on the rocks), but also allows a wide opening for the drink to breath. This also allows you to smell (nose) of the drink. Beer glasses are generally thicker glass, which allows the beer to stay cooler, longer. As beer is usually consumed in quantity (more than a couple of ounces) the size is larger.

Leave given names to the side for a second and consider this. Some people like unique things, other people like "normal" things. Some people like to be/act/look unique, while other people like to fit in/not stand out. To some people, having a unique/made up/strange name would be fun and for others it would be a drag. Consider the thought that your parents were trying to give you something special and fun instead of giving you a burden to bear. It's also fully possible that you are different from your parents, in which case, feel free to change your name later. But in terms of this CMV, perhaps they weren't being foolish and selfish, instead they were trying (even if they failed) to give you something unique and special to be cherished, in which case it wasn't an act of foolishness or selfishness, it was a misguided act of love.

Well Europe and the Middle East had limited nuclear exchange before the rest of the world. So they're probably twice as irradiated. If you look at China in Mothership Zeta (if we consider that crap cannon) than we see a glowing crater. No hope there. We know Mexico is mostly irradiated from Raul. Another thing to remember is that only the US had the Vault Program. Overall not good, I'd say.

>Does chaotic motion truly exist? Yes. > If the same amount of force is applied to get the machine in motion, will the behavior of the arms be different every time? It sounds like you're misunderstanding what chaos is. Chaotic motion is completely deterministic, and for the same exact initial conditions, you'll get the same result every time. But chaotic systems are *extremely sensitive* to initial conditions. That means that if you start the system with one set of initial conditions, and start an identical system with *slightly* different initial conditions, after some amount of time, their behavior will be totally different from each other.

Microwave ovens utilize a device called a cavity magnetron to produce the electromagnetic radiation used to cook your food. The basic gist of how this device works is similar to how blowing air past the top of a bottle creates sound, only with electrons instead of air. If the voltage isn't high enough, then the resonance required for it to operate doesn't occur. Cutting the voltage in half will result in a device that just produces a little heat, and no radiation. Cutting the operating cycle in half produces the desired effect. Pulsed operation is very common in electronics as a means to produce varied output, as it's generally easier to control. However, there are always side-effects of doing this, like noise from the pulsing itself. Your food doesn't care about this noise, so it's considered acceptable.

There were a group of artists and writers that grew up during the first large scale wordwide modern war (WWI) and also lived through the second World War. This generation of creative people witnessed so many horrible things that the art that they made was really trying to make sense of all those awful, evil parts of life. These writers and artists are called "modernists" and they really invented a lot of the ways that we tell stories today and how we decide whether something is a good or bad story. This is because the "modernists" really wanted to unite all of the evil they had experienced, with all of the good they knew that people could do. After all, these people saw so much killing and war, but they also saw people inventing so many wonderful new things. Think of if people were all riding horses now, but by the time you're finished with High School most of us have cars! It was too bad though that none of the "modernists" ever really felt like they *were able* to tell one story that explained all of the bad things and all of the good things together. They never figured it out, and thought that they failed. The artists that came next are called "post-modernists" only because they came *after* the "modernists." They saw that the "modernists" weren't able to come up with a story that explained all the good and bad stuff humans could do, so they decided that there was *actually no way to explain it*. That's why a lot of "post-modern" artists don't really try to create anything that is totally new and original. They figured that if the "modernists" tried so hard to tell this story they've pretty much tried everything that can be tried. The "modernists" wrote every book, painted every picture, and sang every song trying to "figure out" what life was all about. tl;dr (and you're over 5): Modernists tried to unite humanity with one grand narrative, but couldn't. Post-modernists decided the reason that they couldn't was because there is *no* way to unite the entire story of humanity in a grand narrative. Since there is no way forward we're stuck just regurgitating the art of the past, forever. "Post-modernism" is based on "quoting" and using other works of art as a way of coming to terms with the fact that there probably *is* no way that we can explain why people can do so many great things, but can also do so many really bad things at the same time.

This is an interesting question and there is no single answer. It's not really a question of is an animal "self aware" or "not self aware" and more, "how self aware" is an animal. Even though it is a bit more complicated than this you can think of there being levels of self aware. The standard test is called the mirror test. It's very simple but really clever. You put a mark on an animal (when it is asleep or not paying attention) in a place that it can't see it, like on it's head. Then you put the animal in front of a mirror. If the animal sees the mark in the mirror and reaches up and grabs the mark then it recognized that the animal in the mirror was itself. If it doesn't do that then it doesn't realize that the thing in the mirror is itself and then probably doesn't even have an idea of "self". You can look up lists of animals that can pass the mirror test. Great apes can definitely pass it. Elephants can, probably some types of birds but it is a little less easy to test a bird. There are some other tests too, some are "easier to pass" than the mirror test meaning they show a lower level of self aware, and some are more difficult.

Almost always its auto wreck related. Sometimes its people begin hit by large chunks of flying debris. And there are always people anywhere who will ignore warnings and stay in a dangerous area. No body thinks it could happen to them until it does.

They do whatever is necessary to keep secrets - ridiculously strict security, ban on external media and internet connections, no cell phones in protected areas... And mandatory psychic defense training. We see in Inception that CEOs can be trained against extraction which royally screwed Cobb's first on-screen job since his researcher failed to know this.

Skulls are a important symbol in the Imperium, you find it everywhere. Does not mater if you were born on Cadia, Kreig, Catachan, Macragge, Mars or Holy Terra, you all have the same skull. And to continue serving after death is seen as a positive thing too.

It's been a while but it's possible the suit, without being worn by a person, responded in that way just to showcase the ability. Remember Shuri works on her tablet then begins recording, so she could have toggle the ability on/off.

During the second-to-last episode, Ishizu says "the Pharaoh didn't predict what his next card would be, his will power made it so. It appears the Pharaoh's determination was so strong he actually influenced fate with his own will."

The main benefit is Whatsapp's client base - Whatsapp has roughly 450 million users. Facebook, like many other companies, earns its revenues from ads and selling premium services, so now they'll have 450 million more clients earn money from. Also, Whatsapp, being a chat application and essentially a social network, is in direct competition with Facebook. This allows Facebook to eliminate the competition.

Anything that causes a vibration causes a sound, because that's what sound is. While it may not be audible, pretty much any movement your body makes technically makes a sound. Waving your hand frantically may cause vibration of a few Hertz, for example, even though it's probably very quiet too. Of course, that's just an example you could easily mimic on purpose. Short answer is yes.

The humans have the ansible, which is how the communicate over distances of light years. It's based off of the hive mind of the buggers. Because of this, it's assumed that this sent information that somehow got picked up by the hive mind, such as the contents of the Game, messages about Ender and so on. Ender's actions, which showed him to be an innocent but capable person that didn't harm others out of pleasure like Peter, didn't act out of pride like Bonzo, but also wasn't timid like Valentine, or subservient like Dumper. But most importantly, he was capable of existing as his own person able to put the needs of a species he was told to hate, in front of his own, which Alai couldn't do (seeing as he was elected as Caliph after returning to Earth), Bean wouldn't have worked, as he even realizes that even though he will always save the supreme commander, he will never be the supreme commander. It's because of these and his ability to think outside the box, and of course realize the true nature of war, that led the Buggers to select him to help them. This allowed them to recreate the Game and hide the egg in a place they knew he would find it. And know that their only hope of survival was to have Ender take the egg to a suitable planet and allow the species to regrow.

Can you find a masters in CS that will take you ? Doesn't have to be the best. But it will help a lot. CS has a lots of parts (maths, algorithms, data structures, networking, operating systems, databases...) That all work together. It's not easy to be a self-learner. It can be done, but it will require diligent study for a number of months without the support of an organization (curriculum, teaching assistants, group projects, professors, friends to ask questions to, network/connections, and a degree to put on your resume)

Say you have one dirty spot on you. A shower washes away the dirt because of the flowing water. A bath dissolves the dirt and spreads it evenly all over you as you soak in the dirt containing water. It is obvious what is more hygienic.

For the same reason that some knots are so strong until you cut them. Plastics are long tangled and branched carbon chains, with the hardness of the plastic determined by the length, "tangledness", and "branchedness" of the chains. Once a cut or tear is made, you now only have to cut or pull out a few chains along the edge instead of cutting through the whole mass.

They do cause all the same effects as a nuclear weapon dropped in war. The only difference is one of numbers. It is anticipated that if nuclear war ever occured that the involved nations will launch all of their available weapons. In the case of the U.S., Russian, and China this total will be in the thousands. There have been quite a few nuclear tests performed over the last 80 years, but they were spread out over time and still don't approach anywhere near that total.

> Though it is unquestionable that there have been great older politicians, it is well known that older people generally tend to hold on to values and beliefs from their younger years Why is it an issue in a democracy? Either people will agree and vote for them or they wont.

Adequate levels of leptin, released by fat, causes the hypothalamus in the brain to release gonadotropin-releasing hormone. This hormone causes the pituitary gland in the brain to release follicle stimulating hormone and luteinizing hormone. Both of these work in the testes/ovaries to begin sexual maturation and production/maturation of sperm and egg cells, and the release of sex hormones like estrogen, testosterone, progesterone, etc. So basically, your body does monitor its own growth to decide when to start the process of puberty.

The black / purple stage of a bruise is blood soaked into the tissue under the skin, due to ruptures in the capillaries. Oxygenated blood is the red colour you're used to seeing. Deoxygenated blood is darker and lacks the red, so you get the purple colour. As the bruise heals the first thing that happens is your body absorbs the iron in the hemoglobin. The rest of the red blood cells are broken down into biliverdin (which is greenish), which is in turn broken down into bilirubin (which is yellowish). Because the process is consecutive you all ways get the same sequence of colours, though how quickly it happens will vary.

Yes, and for the same reason that I've absolutely adored Thor's personality shift over the course of so many movies: he's fully-embraced his position of authority over the people of Midgard, which requires study of the local culture. Hence Thor's adopting of the modern lexicon, and expletives like "son of a bitch" even if it takes a second for him to translate.

Often, dy/dx is written d/dx(y), where "d/dx" is an operator. It's an abuse of notation but well understood. If you apply an operator twice it's common to write it as "squared" - another abuse of notation. e.g A(A(t)) = A^2 (t). If you square d/dx you get d^2 /(dx) ^2. Apply that to y and drop parentheses and you get d^2 y/dx^2 . So it's a combination of notational abuses, but it's kind of stuck because it's cute.

I don't think Oogway was trying to prevent anything. It just wasn't Tai Lung's destiny, and the Darkness he saw in Tai Lung was somewhat incidental to that, as well as a convenient reason. That said, we sort of saw what would happen if Tai Lung had been given the scroll. His reaction to finding out the truth was one of immediate violence, in spite of the fact that the fight was no longer ongoing. It was very similar to his reaction of having been denied.

You basically gave the answer yourself. Every once in a while you have to reset the weight. What you are doing then is increasing the distance between the weight and the earth and by that you are increasing its energy. We call that energy potential energy. When the weight slowly falls down again as it powers the clock, its potential energy is transformed into kinetic energy.

There are two stages in producing urine. The first stage uses a lot of water to help the kidneys filtrate waste products. The second stage recycles the excess water and recircles it into your body. When drinking alcohol this second step is interrupted and doesn't work as effectively thus you will produce more urine and waste lots of water. So basically alcohol makes you pee until you are dehydrated.

Confirmation bias tricks you into believing your gut instinct is usually right. You often forget the times your first choice was wrong, but remember the times your gut was right all along because it is seemingly more noteworthy.

Well a car muffler is about 100x larger. That's why. The sound bounces around way longer before exiting the muffler. If you attached a larger muffler on a mower it would be quieter, but it would also be more expensive and much heavier to push around.

Grease is liquefied fat. You need the molecules and compounds in the fats to make nerves, connective tissue, and hormones. The liver produces bile and the gallbladder stores bile. When you eat greasy foods your gall bladder releases vile into your stomach to break fats down into their base compounds. If you eat too much fat the liver will turn it into glucose through a process called gluconeogenesis and you can either burn it or convert it into human fat for later use.

Your body has three ways of measuring position and movement. Your inner ear is coated in little hairs that sense the movement of fluid. Your eyes can see what's going on. And your body can feel through touch. With three systems, your brain is normally pretty happy as long as two of them agree. If you close your eyes, the other two systems still know what's going on so everything is still good. As others have said alcohol messes with your inner ear system. While your eyes are open your eyes and touch both still know what's going on so you don't feel too bad. When you're lying in bed and close your eyes, you now only have one working system, touch. Your eyes are telling your brain nothing, so it ignores them. Touch is telling your brain that you're lying on your back. Your inner ear is telling your brain you're on a rollercoaster, so that gets fed into the calculation and you feel like you're spinning. That's also the reason why you feel mostly fine when your eyes are open, and horrible when you close them.

A fish may linger near the surface because he’s trying to breathe more easily. Remember, fish breathe *dissolved* oxygen—not oxygen that is already combined in the H2O molecule. Naturally, these dissolved oxygen levels tend to be higher near the surface, where interaction between air and water takes place. A fish that is not receiving enough oxygen will try to compensate by gravitating toward that area. Similarly, you may notice your fish lingering near the bubbles of your air stones or other bubble-producing décor

Are you a bad cook using a blender instead of a knife? Are you a bad handyman prefering a cordless drill over a screwdriver? Are you a bad driver using a gps instead of paper maps? Is it more impressive that you don't use those things? Sure. But take it from someone that can. It's not the pragmatic thing to do.

It’s for leverage. If power steering fails, you’ll be able to turn easily if the steering wheel is in the horizontal plane. Notice how they are bigger for this reason. The simplicity in design other comments suggest it’s just a bonus, one extra joint it’s not big deal nowadays.

So long as physiological and psychological differences exist between men and women, the usage of masculine and feminine as descriptions of attributes and behaviors will retain meaning. Sure it's not meaningful or productive to *idealize* men or women a certain way, but acknowledging real differences between men and women is important if one values intellectual honesty.

One issue with this is that animated porn is usually unburdened by social, moral and legal norms. This can cause the more extreme and questionable genres of porn to proliferate and this may lead the few IRL porn productions that will remain to normalize these genres. Basically, when almost everything is imaginary, public scrutiny might go away and leave the real stuff to turn to moral rot. Interesting idea, though

The reason economists don't like corporation tax is that it distorts investment in the economy. The very simple example is that if you imagine a firm has a profitable venture (π) with probability (p) of being successful and cost c to attempt, then the firm will invest if: E(πp)>c Adding a tax distorts the left hand side of the equation and reduces the potential gains of the project being successful, and therefore stops firms from investing in otherwise profitable ventures. The reason this is bad is that all investment (savings) is for future consumption, and thus distorting investment (savings) function reduces consumption in the long run. It's also why a progressive consumption tax is popular among economists, because it causes the least distortion in behavior. Other popular taxes are pigovian taxes (ones that fix an externality) such as carbon taxes. Finally, another popular tax is a Land Value Tax.

A couple of reasons. Combat boots are better at keeping your ankle from twisting. Sneakers are great on a flat road, but not when you're running through uneven terrain. Combat boots are much better at keeping water, rain, snow, etc., out. Sometimes, a soldier has to keep his shoes on for days at a time, and trench foot is really nasty and can permanently cripple a soldier. A sharp piece of metal (common in battlefield conditions) can pierce the bottom of a running show or slice through an unprotected ankle, so combat boots help protect from such hazards. Boots also help against other hazards, such as snakebites, insect bites, walking through thorns or poison ivy, walking through disease-ridden swamps (or even pools of blood), etc.

animals in the Simpsons universe aren't anthropomorphic so there's that to start with, Itchy and Scratchy also follow traditional 'cartoon' physics (ie over the top violence, pull giant weapons from their pockets, burst their eyeballs out of their head when scared/surprised etc)

Tiktok pays money for some songs to be licensed on their platform. You won't be able to find every song there, but there are quite a few. Other platforms generally do not pay for licenses and instead usually allow royalty free music where the artist has agreed that they don't need money for the music to be available.

Neutrinos are little bits of practically-nothing that the universe uses to balance its books. Whenever an interaction occurs in which angular momentum would not normally be conserved, the universe tosses a neutrino onto the table as a way of making change. Look, you *said* you wanted quick and dirty!

> the banning of: Guns, Speech, Religion, or what ever thing you personally like or dislike. Whether you agree that their idea is right, it's uncharitable to describe people who take a more strict view to certain things as pride. Like whether you think they're right or wrong, you understand that people who want to ban things like guns do so because they believe it will reduce suffering in the world, not because they arbitrarily think highly of themselves. In fact, to assume the motives of other people to be based in sin is kinda … prideful. Ironic. Nah dude, the order goes (worst to least worst) greed, wrath, envy, sloth, pride, gluttony and then lust if you even count that one. Greed has caused incalculable suffering in world history. Countless wars fought over resources, companies screwing over millions for a quick buck, cutting corners on procedure risking lives for money, charging exorbitant prices for things that cost a pittance to make just because you know people will pay any price to not die, bankrupting them to fill your coffers. Greed has fucked the world harder than pride ever could in its dreams.

Yes. The spiciness will only be determined by capsaicin concentration. But people also like the consistency and taste of their hot sauce. Different peppers have different tastes. So blending certain peppers together will taste better than just a jar of pure capsaicin.

He would consider them incredibly meaningless. Especially the new Lion King remake since it is just a rehash on an old and succesful idea. He goes more into his theory that would support this argument in *Simulacra and Simulation* (1981) in case you didn't know. Wisecrack also has a video explaining his theory with *The Big Bang Theory.*

Legolas almost certainly is, as the Elves in general are much more aware of his true nature as one of the Maiar. At the absolute bare minimum they know he isn't human. Gimli is harder to say, though likewise he's probably aware that there's more to Gandalf than seems. Seeing as Gandalf adventured with Gimli's dad to reclaim Erebor and all. Aragorn probably knows what's up too, as he's a Ranger and also has deep connections with the Elves. And he has some previous connections with Gandalf. Boromir is a bit more iffy. He might just think Gandalf is a wizard and nothing special. The Hobbits are probably pretty oblivious.

>...it had been [Sauron's] virtue (and therefore also the cause of his fall, and of his relapse) that he loved order and coordination, and disliked all confusion and wasteful friction. ...though the only real good in, or rational motive for, all this ordering and planning and organization was the good of all inhabitants of Arda (even admitting Sauron's right to be their supreme lord), his 'plans', the idea coming from his own isolated mind, became the sole object of his will, and an end, the End, in itself.* > >\* [footnote to the text] But his capability of corrupting other minds, and even engaging their service, was a residue from the fact that his original desire for 'order' had really envisaged the good estate (especially physical well-being) of his Subjects'. So no. No great work. No real "master plan" to speak of. Sauron became so fixated on the planning and organization that the plan itself became the goal, rather than merely the means to achieve some larger end goal.

I don't know if the answer is different in the movie, but in the short story the room is haunted just because it's a room located on the 13th floor, and the numbers in its room number add together to 13. So if you make a fake 1408 and call the fake room 1408, it's going to be haunted as well. You're either going to end up with two haunted rooms instead of a safe, fake room that you can put people in, or the hauntings are going to move to the fake room. It's unclear if the imagination of people give the hauntings life or if the evil entities are just attracted to those numbers, but as long as people or spirits believe the fake 1408 is the real 1408, the fake 1408 is going to continue to be haunted.

If the lake is big enough, the fish will never use up all the oxygen that is solved in the water. Also, fish use very little oxygen during winter, when temperatures are low and they move less. And, there should always be enough fresh water flowing in underneath the ice.

As an insomniac I've read a lot about this sort of thing. The truth is we don't really know about why we need sleep or the effects of sleep deprivation. The best answer we have for your question is that after a while your brain starts to force itself to sleep even though you're body won't let it. It starts shutting down and tries to enter a REM sleep phase even though your body is still up. If anyone has more info I'd love to hear it.

You basically hit it on the head. Selective breeding has been extremely detrimental to the health and development of domesticated canines. Horses evolved over hundreds and thousands of millennia to become the sizes they are. Natural selection has permitted equine development to proceed in a manner that permits such size and weight/strength. Human interference has only been prevalent in canine breeding for the past few hundred millennia, since we started selecting wolf pups for obedience and cooperative traits. Not nearly enough time for the animals to properly adapt to their new bodies. Animals do suffer from multitudes of bone and muscle diseases. It's only natural. But due to selective breeding in the domesticated dog, human greed and vanity has exacerbated negative traits alongside the superficial ones we select for. Stunted noses lead to breathing issues; longer limbs lead to skeletal development hiccups; thicker bodies prevent proper organ spacing; etc., etc.

Yes, nuclei have discrete energy levels too, but the excitation energies are typically on the order of hundreds of keV to a few MeV in low- and mid-mass nuclei. So in order to excite a nucleus, a photon usually needs to be a gamma ray or at least a hard x-ray.

Nitrogen is slightly diamagnetic and oxygen is slightly paramagnetic. A strong enough magnetic field will repel nitrogen and attract oxygen. Air being a mostly non-ionized gas is electrically neutral and has almost no magnetic moment.

Yes, and then no. More specifically, in Legends there was an Anti-Sith Law, but it was repealed a little while before the start of the Clone Wars. In both canons, Mace Windu's attempted arrest of the Supreme Chancellor was basically deemed unconstitutional. Of course, Windu was actually arresting Palpatine on conspiracy, not on the basis of his religion.

Serious crimes will get them charged as adults (eg murder and the like). Mainly, this is because, by committing/attempting murder (the premeditation is the crucial part), the suspect has demonstrated that they know what they are doing is very wrong and could have a very serious impact on someone's life, and they tried to get away with it. In this case, they have the requisite understanding of the law and its consequences to be tried as an adult. Less serious stuff, like theft or vandalism, is treated more leniently because it's not as serious and doesn't have the same "gravitas", if you will.

A number for which, in some base, every possible string appears at some point in its expansion is called a "rich number". Your question essentially is "is pi or e a rich number?" The answer is: We don't know. Most people suspect that they are, but it has never been proven. What we do know is that the probability of any real number being rich is essentially 1. We know this because there's a stronger property, namely that every string of a given length appears in the expansion of the number with equal frequency (that is: the string "01234" appears as often as "56789", for example). A number with this property is called a "normal number" and it should be clear that if a number if normal, it is also rich. It has been shown that the set of numbers that are not normal has a "Lebesgue measure" (a way of measuring sets) of zero. That means that almost all real numbers are normal. And therefore almost all real numbers are rich. But are pi and e among the rare exceptions? We don't know.

The darkness of your skin comes from a pigment called melanin. The darker your skin, the more melanin in it. Melanin absorbs UV radiation, it's the thing the damages cells which leads to sunburn or in worst cases to cancers/tumors. Think of the dark pigmentation in your skin as an umbrella against rain. The umbrella gets wet, but it protects you underneath it. Melanin gets hit by radiation, so that the vulnerable stuff beneath it doesn't. Do note, even people with a lot of melanin will burn in the sun eventually. It's resistance, but not absolute protection. An umbrella won't save you from a typhoon.

How do you account for many parents being in a better position to raise children than others? What about children with disabilities (physical and mental)? How about the simple fact that children aren't robots? While parents can influence them, they're ultimately their own conscious beings who make their own decisions.

Light would dissipate at the speed of light - so it would appear instantaneous to humans to the extent that photons would stop bouncing off of the air and traveling back to eyeballs in a fraction of a fraction of a second. You probably wouldn't immediately see a wonderful dark sky, though, because human night vision takes time to acclimate to dark. The rods in your eye contain a protein which is destroyed by energetic light (not by low energy red light, importantly). When that protein in your rods is destroyed by a photon, it sends a signal to your brain, allowing you to construct a gray-scale image (night-vision is color blind!). Rods are much more efficient in detecting photons than are the color-sensitive cells in your eye, the cones. In bright light, all of the light-sensitive proteins are destroyed and they take about half an hour to build back up completely. So in half an hour or so, the effects of light pollution on your sight of the night sky would be gone.

It all comes down to definition, the argument goes that racism is not Ethan just thought, it has to be active discrimination and oppression. As black people rarely have the opportunity to discriminate against white people in a meaningful way, they can’t be racist. I disagree with the argument, but that’s what it is.

The stuff that we're seeing in the distant past is also really far away. To see something, say, a billion years ago, it has to be far enough away that its light traveled toward us for a billion years. So we're not seeing our own past, we're seeing the past of other stuff. We can't see our own past this way because the light from our past is moving away from us, so we'll never see it.

It depends on 3 things. 1. As a rule of thumb rice is done when all the water is boiled off. 2. When water is boiling it keeps the thing at 100C, any more energy just makes more water turn from liquid to gas. 3. When a magnet gets too hot it gets less sticky. So they have a magnet that's holding a electric connection to the heater that cooks the rice. When you press the cook tab, you hear a clunk, that's the magnet sticking. The water in the cooking part with the rice starts boiling, when it's gone the temperature starts going above 100C. That temperature makes the magnet less sticky and it falls off, breaking the connection with the cooking parts. That or it's a boring temperature sensor and a microchip.

The most common Order of Chivalry is The Most Excellent Order of the British Empire, which has five "ranks." From highest to lowest, these are: 1. Knight Grand Cross or Dame Grand Cross of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire (GBE), limited to 300 1. Knight Commander or Dame Commander of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire (KBE or DBE), limited to 845 1. Commander of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire (CBE), limited to 8,960 1. Officer of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire (OBE) 1. Member of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire (MBE) GBE and KBE/DBE automatically make the recipient a knight (male) or a dame (female), which allows them to use the title "Sir [Name]" or "Dame [Name]." Note that these honorifics are used only before the first name, so you would, e.g., refer to Sir Patrick Stewart or Sir Patrick, but never Sir Stewart. As part of the British honours system, membership in the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire is a **means of rewarding individuals' personal bravery, achievement, or service to the United Kingdom and the British Overseas Territories**. All members of the order are appointed by the current British monarch, who is Sovereign of the Order. Typically, they do this under the advice of the governments of Britain and the Commonwealth. No more than 858 Officers and 1,464 Members may be appointed per year. Other Orders of Chivalry include the Order of the Garter and the Order of the Thistle. Some Orders of Merit also come with an honorary knighthood at their highest ranks. Men may also be knighted separately from membership in one of these orders, giving them the rank of Knight Bachelor (Kt). Only citizens of the United Kingdom and Commonwealth can be full members of these orders. Foreigners are considered honorary members only, and while they may use the letters after their name, they do not take the title of "Sir" or "Dame."

The temperature drops because the system is in equilbrium between the solid and liquid states of water, and in the presence of salt the liquid can exist at lower temperatures. That is one of several properties called "colligative properties" of liquid solutions. The mechanism is that the dissociated ions in the dissolved salt solution pull at the polar ends of the water molecules on the boundary between solution and solid, breaking the hexagonal crystalline structures that make the ice solid. (Edit: Note that the ions don't remain affixed to the water molecules, they only change the dynamics that are going on at the solid/liquid boundary. Thanks, arble, for pointing that out.) The reason the solution drops in temperature is that it takes energy to remove a water molecule from an ice crystal. That energy comes from the kinetic energy of the surrounding liquid water molecules: when a water molecule is lifted from the ice crystal structure, it leaves with less speed than the impacting water and salt molecules that knocked it out. Eventually, the average kinetic energy of the liquid water is less than it used to be (i.e. "the water is colder"). The temperature drop is rapid because (A) the heat of fusion of water is large (i.e. it takes a *lot* of energy to pull the water molecules out) and (B) the system is tightly coupled thermally, since it is after all an ice-water bath. Contrariwise, if you flush the liquid salty water out and replace it with distilled water, the distilled water will freeze against the extra-cold ice, and warm up the system to 0 degrees C by releasing kinetic energy as the water molecules snap into place in the ice crystals. Using salt to melt ice on a sidewalk depends on the fact that the sidewalk is in a large approximately-equal-temperature environment. The sidewalk cools well below 0C right away, and begins absorbing heat from its (presumably near-freezing) environment. That is different from an ice-cream maker or similar system, because in an ice-cream maker you isolate the ice cream and icy brine from the environment, to prevent it absorbing energy from outside.

The Curie point refers to permanent magnetism, where half filled outer electron shells allow an atom to be magnetic. When the atoms in a substance are aligned such that their individual magnetic fields are in the same direction, the substance is magnetic (see ferromagnetism for more details). Above the Curie point, this breaks down, because the atoms won't stay aligned. The earth's magnetic field, on the other hand, is created by dynamo action--that is, the flow of electrically conductive fluid (the outer core). This is driven largely by rotation and convection, which creates circulating electric currents, and thus, a magnetic field. The sun's magnetic field is created in a similar way, only with plasma instead of magma.
