What is the difference between a rock band and a metal band?
They're still a subgenre of Rock. Back then Hard Rock and Heavy Metal were used almost interchangeably.
How do employees of marijuana dispensaries in the US handle their taxes if their income is based off the sale of marijuana?
The same way anyone else does. Just report the source of the income. Federal law requires you to report all income, even if it's from an illegal source.
How come alcohol triggers hunger even though its caloric itself?
This question always crosses my mind when I'm in a Waffle House at 4am trying to figure out if I really like waffle house or just really like eating when I'm drunk. Seems it's likely the later. _URL_3_", 'Its because booze causes a drop in blood sugar which then makes you hungry. Regardless of the calories consumed by drinking the booze.
Why does 66 degrees outside feel very nice but 66 degrees air conditioned inside feels super cold?
Here is something else to consider: * If it is 66 out, then the ambient temperature is 66.* If the A/C is blasting you with 66, it is likely warmer than 66 out, so the air is *relatively* cold. **PROOF:** blast 66 degree air in your face when the ambient temperature is 33 degrees and tell me that it's cold! **Edit:** *Also, try putting 1 hand in hot water, and 1 hand in cold water. then put both hands in medium water. Is the medium water hot or cold ?* ***OR BOTH?! WHAT FUCKERY IS THIS?!***", 'Usually it depends on the relative humidity. Air conditioning removes a lot of water from the air and make the air cool you more efficiently.I can't believe you think 66 outside is 'very nice'
Why were only dinosaurs wiped out when the meteor crashed and the atmosphere changed? You never hear about other animals or other forms of life going extinct in this time period.
It wasn't that only the dinosaurs went extinct, it's more like people only care about the dinosaurs going extinct. No one cares about weird plants and small rodents so no one talks about it. It's kinda like how if someone gets shot in a rich neighborhood it's on the news, but if someone is shot in the ghetto no one talks about it.
Why does the etymology of so many words stop at the Latin origin?
More academic words will go back to Latin because throughout the time 'English' was developing from Old English to Middle English , Latin was the language for everything from Law, to Science, to History.If you look up a word on _URL_1_ or _URL_0_ , it traces the etymology all the way back. Latin comes from Proto-Indo-European, so almost any word you trace back to Latin can be traced back to PIEKind of like why we stop our heritages as modern people at "Europe/Asia/Africa/etc". Of course we go back farther, but practically speaking that's where we come from.
Why can't the south drive with even a little snow?
I was born and raised in Atlanta and now I live in Boston. First off, there is almost no infrastructure to support snow and ice removal on the roads. Most times, the roads are too warm for the snow to stick and the ice to form. Second, just because someone has 4-wheel drive does not mean they are going to stick to the road. I have friends back home w/ 4WD trucks and they think they're invincible in any weather. They're not. As for this last storm, the mayor of Atlanta should have canceled work and schools for the whole day. Once the snow started he instructed everyone home. Imagine an area of almost 5 million people, each with their own car, moving in different directions all at once. All is takes is 1 or 2 bad drivers to cause an accident and stop an entire highway. I had friends in cars for 7+ hrs in the traffic. On a side note, Atlanta drivers piss themselves in any precipitation
Why hasn't anyone made women's pants that have functional pockets?
This is largely a 'missed opportunity' in the market. Companies haven't yet mastered the pant that is loose enough to fit iphones and keys that's also structured enough to have a lean aesthetic look. They'd probably cost a fortune to design and manufacture. Also, they typically carry purses that negate the need for functionality.
Why is the general consensus that Canadian health care is better than American health care
Primarily cost. In terms of quality, professional athletes aren't exactly lining up to get complex surgeries done in Canada when they get injured all the time.
How do modern warplane dogfights work?
Modern fighters don't really dogfight, and indeed usually don't have cannons--they use guided missiles and countermeasures to fight each other over long distances.
How does adding volumes work?
If you have N violins playing the same note, they won't all be playing in sync: each of theirs sounds forms a wave but the peaks and troughs of the waves don't necessary match up with eachother even if their frequency is exactly the same. This means that the N violins are N times as loud as N individual violins. Instead they will be sqrt louder . Here's a website on this: _URL_0_ Edit: I guess the ELI5 here is that if you put two violins together playing the same note, then you would add 3dB to the decibel level of a single violin. This +3 doesn't depend upon how loud the violins were - whether each one was individually 10 dB or 100 dB, you'd add 3 when you got the second one.
Why is it important to know the millionth decimal place of Pi? Aren't we accurate enough at some point?
It's not particularly important, and those digits aren't actually used for any calculations. It's just done to do it, like building the world's biggest ball of twine or whatever.The profound thing is that pi is never exactly measured. It is an infinite string of numbers without any repetitions.
How does changing to snow tires for season work?
The easiest way around this is to buy all weather tires. But winter tread is best for really snowy months, they have deeper tread and grip best in snow and ice. Depending on your mechanical ability, you can do it yourself. Extra tires are stored in the garage or basement. Its also a pretty goid idea to have a large bag of cat litter in the trunk, for weight or to pour on ice if you're stuck. Source: lifetime in CT, except for those 4 years in Aiken, SC.I live in Canada, most people have two sets. One snow set with metal studs used Nov - April and another set of all season tires for spring / summer. Have to get them changed at a garage for about $75
Why do so many Christians cling to "god hates gays" but then ignore so many other commandments?
I think there needs to be some number assigned to the word many with a source. As someone who isn't a Christian I don't think the question fair or honest to Christians.
Why can't the police or banks trace the money, when people are scammed through IRS or over the phone?
Realistically speaking, the IRS could flag multiple accounts with the same ABA/account number as fraudulent and require some sort of verification. Unfortunately, the IRS isn't really set up to do that on multiple levels.
Why is it not racist to have all black organizations?
There are all white fraternities, organizations, clubs, etc. they just don't deem themselves with that notation. It's not racist because you'll typically see black organization or historically black organization which just means the majority or historically it has been black people serving as a pert of these entities.
why would Pi not be a rational number? If the entire universe can be expressed in mathematical formulas, why would such an important constant be so random?
Irrational numbers aren't as rare as you think. Quite the opposite actually - there are more irrationals than rationals! For example, the square roots of 2, 3, 5, and of every whole number that isn't a whole square. Pi can be expressed with mathematical formulae, they're just more complicated than simple fractions. For example, Pi is equal to the sum 4 - 4/3 + 4/5 - 4/7 + 4/9 -
Why is Haiti so much worse off than the rest of the Americas?
A number of reasons.Immediately after getting independence France strong armed them with military threats into paying ridiculous sums of money. Few nations start off with much and this was pretty devastating to Haiti in the beginning. Without much money to invest on development of industry or education, Haiti was stuck with low paying industries while other nearby countries got rich. The cycle repeats, leaving Haiti worse and worse. Getting ahead in that type of an environment tends to favor corruption and lawlessness, which didn't make things better for Haiti in general.
Why does McDonald's charge $1 for a small, medium and large soda?
Because you live in a country where they actually do that it's like 2.50 for small here and 3.75 for large.I find it hard to believe that they actually charge the same exact price for all three ?
Why do certain drugs (e.g. meth and heroin) make it seem like the user has aged decades in a short amount of time?
Actual ELI5: Mommy told you not to stay up late watching TV, but you do anyway. TV is great, why stop for bedtime? You watch one show, then another and another and another. You're thirsty, but you don't want to miss the best part that's coming up. You're sleepy, but you want to see what's on next. Your eyes are dry as a bone from staring at the screen. You finally fall asleep in the early morning and awake a few short hours later to your mom telling you you're late for school. Your eyes are red with bags under them, your mouth is dry, and your tum-tum is growling because you have to skip breakfast in order to get to school. Everyone at school says you look like shit.
At what percentage alcohol does an alcoholic beverage hydrate rather than dehydrate a person?
Here's a pretty decent discussion on that topic: _URL_3_ TL;DR It's probably around 6-7% ABV
Why do people get angry quicker when they're driving?
I think driving in modern cities and busy roadways causes drivers a great amount of stress, even if this stress is not apparent in your conscious mind. You are hurtling down the road in a massive steel object with hundreds if not thousands of other massive steel objects speeding all around you. It is a very high stress environment, and it should be it is very dangerous, and a lot is at stake . Couple this with the fact that many people are on the roads going somewhere to do something; they have deadlines, priorities, etc. Our minds are processing immense amounts of information at all times on the roadway. We are watching other cars, we are watching our speedometers, we are processing speed and trajectories, all while listening to the radio. I think that a lot of people react with anger while driving because they are already very stressed out thinking about everything else. A calm and peaceful mind is not one that is being bombarded with potentially fatal situations left and right. Add in screaming kids in the backseat and we get an even more chaotic environment, and it's no wonder people get snappy and aggressive on the roadway. I also don't think that anger on the roads is as prevalent in rural areas than in cities and freeways, since the there is less chaos and split-second decision making in rural areas. The city driver must be constantly thinking and processing, watching and adjusting, and this takes its toll on the drivers' psyche. A rural driver has a much more peaceful experience, and so road rage is less frequent. City driving just wears people thin, and they blow up more frequently because of it.
Why are uncooked eggs dangerous but sunny side up eggs are ok? Isn't the yolk uncooked?
Most chickens in the USA have salmonella. This is why it needs to be fully cooked at 160F min. But eggs do not have it . Uncooked eggs aren't generally dangerous to eat, per se. It's not the uncooked egg, it's the question of salmonella infection. But eggs are generally not infected but the outsides of the shells can be. When an egg is cracked, it can easily get a small amount of salmonella into the egg from the outside. If the egg sits, the bacterium will grow. If it's cooked or used or eaten quickly, it won't grow . The issue isn't uncooked eggs. It's uncooked eggs that sit for long periods.
How does a game like Skyrim have enough content for people to play hundreds of hours?
Have you played the game yet? There's the main story that takes you all around this huge world. Then theres a ton of side quests that you can do. I don't have an exact number but alot of the towns people or random people you'll encounter on your travels will have a request of you. Sometimes these requests will be will require multiple goals in multiple areas around the map. Someone will come along shortly and smash my explanation.Becoming a nordic badass and beating the shit out of everything with your fists takes time bro ', "It doesn't people just like the sandbox part of the game. Okay so there are 2 kinds of content. 1 is the main story,or more precisely the content that devs put a majority of work in. Usually pretty detailed with good story, animations ,cinematics, objectives etc.. And then you have a filler. Fetch and get quests. Easy to think of, easy to make, easy to program. It is the way for game to artificially prolong its time. And then we have the sandbox part of the game. That people love. Basically the way the game was made helps for people to create their own content. Maybe you want to kill all the people in the town your in etc And then we have mods. Want a new smg ? No problem, just load that mod and you can enjoy skyrim in the lamborgini, while wielding a dual smg, and a Tom the train hunts you in the skies.
Why chopsticks are widely used in Japan, Korea and China. No one conquered the other in the past so..
Trade spreads ideas, culture, language and inventions almost as well as conquerors. It's likely that they all traded amongst each other, given their close geographic proximity.
Besides moving away from family, why isn't every student moving to Germany now due to free college tuitions?
Because you need to either have €8000 per year in a bank account to show that you can live in germany without assistence or a sponsor who can vouch for you. Besides that, this is nothing new and there hasn't been a wave of americans coming here in the past. There is no reason it will happen now, just because the last german state got rid of tuition now. Only 7 states had tuition anyway, it was a max of €500/semester and only for a few years.
How fucked is Donald Trump?
Slightly. He is a known buffoon. He has never been racist before but no one respects him. He has nothing to lose. I wouldn't think too much of NBC dropping him either. They say The Apprentice will continue without him but I don't believe that. There is no audience for The Apprentice. People don't care about that anymore. This last round of Celebrity Apprentice was in the can for months before they aired it. The show is not pulling in numbers anymore. If Trump had not made these racist comments, NBC would have quietly just never produced the show in any form again and no one would have noticed. They had a chance to look good by officially saying they are done with him, and they took it. That is all that happened.
Why Did Sex Become A Taboo Subject
Probably because of St. Augustine, who was a very important early Christian thinker. After a very wild youth he left his mistress and children and reversed his behavior . Basically he strongly felt that the flesh is weak and sinful. What's interesting is he saw prostitution as a necessary evil.
How come we don't feel the earth's rotation? Or its revolution around the sun?
My step dad was the most stupid man alive. He said that the earth spins too fast for us to feel when I asked. Cue three year old me, doing spins in the living room. 'Is this fast enough yet?' *facepalm
Why does an ice skater’s kinetic energy increase when she pulls her arms in?
Kinetic energy does not increase. Why do they spin faster? You need to realize that a spinning object will always have its parts moving the fastest at its edge, since the entire object has to spin x times per second and the edge has to cover the most distance every x times per second, since it's distance from the center of rotation, therefore radius, therefore circumference is the largest. When an ice skater pulls their arms in, their arms now have to travel less distance than if they did not, and since kinetic energy has to stay the same, their rate of spin increases.Imagine a skater spinning in place on a frictionless rink with angular velocity w and moment of inertia I. Here, she has L = wI and KE = Iw^2 /2. Suppose they draw their arms in, decreasing their moment of intertia to I/2. Since L is conserved, they now have an angular velocity of 2w. They therefore now have KE = ^2 /2 , which is twice their original energy, so kinetic energy does increase. The additional energy comes from the work the skater exerted to draw their arms inward.
What do the motions mean when a conductor is guiding the orchestra with his wand?
Band student here. AFAIK, the conductor is counting beats. They also emphasize parts of the song where the volume is high or low. He can also slow down or speed up, depending on the song and how it's written.Different motions mean different things. in ELI5: The conductor keeps everyone on the same beat, increases/decreases volume, tells certain instruments when to start/stop playing.
if fruit is sweet to encourage animals to eat it and carry the seeds away from the parent tree, how do lemons and limes fit into this mix?
Some animals like lemons and limes the way that some people like mint or cinnamon. With taste is all about how you choose to feel about these things. You also need to understand that animals are different, they have different taste receptors. Cats don't like sweet things at all, but there could be animals that love bitter flavors. Carrots and beets back in the day had the highest sugar content for readily available food, so they made carrot cake out of carrots when sugar was scarce. Concerning the aforementioned fruit someone made limes and lemons. They were made through having specific grandparent fruits have family trees that would end up being the way they are when you eat them. Thin skinned and full of fruit instead of thick and less fruity. Although it sounds like a bad idea, orange juice reigns supreme over apple,and all other fruit juices, in the grocery store. Bananas used to be more nutritious, and apparently tasted more like the banana runts than the taste that you are likely familiar with.
why grocery retailers like publix or Kroger sell roasted chickens for a cheaper price than they sell raw chickens
To play with your mind. They sell the roasted chickens at a loss in the hope that it'll make you think of delicious chicken while shopping and spend more. Customers tend to buy more food when they're hungry while shopping.
Why is dog pee creating dead spots all over my backyard, but public parks and grassy areas are pristine?
Ok, so I know it's not your question I'm answering, but I feel like I need to pass on this bit of knowledge. Feed your dog a bit of apple with the peel on each day. For whatever reason, it stopped my dog's urine from burning the grass.
Why do both parties have to consent to a divorce?
In most states there are provisions for divorce if only one party wants it, but it's faster if you can get the other person to consent. Many states, especially in the South, require an extended period after you file for a contested divorce just to make sure you really mean it , but you can get a divorce if both parties agree more quickly. However, some states offer same-day divorce, and if you really want to, you can just fly there and get it done. Nevada I think does this. But note that divorce -- dissolution of the marriage -- is not the same thing as the settlement of the marital assets and arrangement for child support. You can get divorced in a day if you really need to, but that doesn't change you ex-spouse's legal right to their share of the marital assets.
How does the "I-feel-observed sense", that makes us feel uncomfortable when we feel like someone is watching us, even when we can't see clear evidence of someone watching us, work?
The feeling is spiked cortisol. Your body begins sapping strength from things like your digestive system and immune system , and pumps extra blood to the brain and muscles. In this state you are ready to fight/run, and you start making patterns everywhere . The cortisol spike happens because you were spooked somehow .
I am generally confused. Why is Obama sending 3000 troops to "fight" Ebola??
Terrorism, Drugs, Disease, doesn't matter. The American solution to everything is to declare war on it.
How is tea healthy?
I know it's not exactly ELI5, but Wikipedia has information: _URL_0_", 'I read somewhere that any hot liquid increases the possibility of esophageal cancer. Google itCombustion is not the same as merely heating something.
Why does e (the number) come up in so many seemingly random applications?
*Very simplified answer if someone needs* Let's say you put money in a bank and you get a certain revenue, say 5% yearly. One way to approach this is simply to add 5% to your account at the end of the year. But what if you want to add 2.5% in the middle of the year and 2.5% at the end. Since you will be adding 2.5% to already increased price, you will get more. Now divide the year into 3, 4, 6, 10, 1000000.. parts in a similar way, always getting a little more because you increase your funds a bit along the way. When you eventually 'chop' the year into infinite parts, the cashflow can be described by the exponential function. Now you can apply this to, say, a colony of bacteria. To simplify we can assume that the rate of growth of bacteria is only proportional to the number of bacteria. Since the growth is proportional to their numbers in every given moment, similarly to the bank model, you can again use the exponential function to describe number of bacteria in certain period of time. Most things in nature have similar dependency and therefore are described by the exponential function. Many people said d/dx = e^x is the reason, I think it's more likely another consequence of the meaning of exponential function, although the mathematically correct derivation has this property as one of premises for the function.
Why do familes / people have their own distinct scent or odor?
This thread is fanning the flames of one of my phobias. I have Anosmia; virtually no sense of smell which I compensate by washing lots. My hands, house, clothes, everything. I always fear having stepped in dog shit and just walking around completely unaware. I assumed people would smell like what they washed with but the thought of a 'family smell' freaks me out.There is an evolutionary reason for this among the other reasons already listed. Closely related individuals will have similar smells to prevent inbreeding, which results in a loss of genetic diversity. There have been experiments done where a number of guys went and exercised and got all sweaty. Their t-shirts were then enclosed in different boxes. The study then had girls come in and smell the boxes. Each girl would choose which box smelt the best/least worst, and usually that was the scent from the male most genetically different from herThe one thing that always stands out the most in my head is Halloween, and how incredibly different peoples houses smelled when they opened the door. I can still remember some of the smells and wondering "what is that? ..mothballs? " Then I remember being glad that my house didn't seem to smell/ my friends houses smelled nice.I find it's mostly the washing powder/fabric softener they use.When I was a kid I noticed my friends house always smelled really distinctive. When I was older I realized it smelled like cats.I moved out of my parents' house about a year and a half ago. I noticed my new place had a unique smell, but I got used to it for a while. Now when I leave for more than a couple days, I recognize the smell immediately when I walk in. If I go to my parents' place, though, I don't recognize any particular odor.
How can a country afford to implement a basic living income policy?
There would still be an income tax for people with jobs. The theory is that giving people basic income wouldn't stop people from working, but be happier while working. They no longer stress about money or do jobs they don't want to do. Yes, a few people would try to use it to coast through, but the majority will still have some kind of income that is taxed. But income tax is just part of it. Sales tax, business taxes, licence the government issues, criminal fines, import and export taxes, etc etc there are a lot of ways the government makes money. So affording it isn't really the biggest concern. Most opponents fear that it will damage the economy. Prices will go up and production will go down.By not permitting corporations to avoid paying taxes using the same formula applied to everyone else in the country. Us corporations brought in 1.5 TRILLION dollars in *profit* for 2016. Not gross. Profit. _URL_0_
Why can't Verizon and AT & T offer an unlimited data plan (or just refuse to)?
One of the official arguments is that it relieves network congestion at peak times. By limiting data, people are less likely to use it overall. This kind of works, but it really doesn't because caps don't limit *when* you can use your data. So if you have 5GB of data, for example, there's nothing stopping you and everyone else from using it at the same time. Thus, data caps don't actually directly prevent congestion, it's just a side effect of people being more conservative with their data plans overall because they have monthly limits. Plus, you know, greed and all that.AT & T does offer an unlimited data plan, they just force you to be on either DirecTV or UVerse in order to be eligible. Basically, smartphones have become so powerful that people try to run their whole home internet through them, so they want to stop that practicePartly because they dont think you will switch to another carrier like Sprint or T-Mobile. They might not cover your area and the average consumer can feel more confident of having a larger network area so ATT and Verizon dont need to compete on the "Unlimited" market. Where Sprint and T-Mobile have stronger networks, like major metropolitan areas, consumers have more access to Wi-fi so even then an unlimited plan might not make as much senseMoney. Also I think that if more people had unlimited plans, they would of course use them, and there is only so much bandwidth for mobile phones, which would lead to network congestion .As a person who has unlimited data on AT & T we got it in a special when we switched to direct tv overall it's a great deal look for the specials
The Unit Circle and why it's important
All circles are *similar* on 2D planes. If you understand why radian is the natural way to describe the size of an angle, you will understand why the radius of a circle does not matter when we are dealing with trigs, since they are also ratios. If the radius doesn't matter, then we can just use any radius. Why not ~~zoidberg~~ one?
Why people smoke after sex (or a meal)
because they are addicted!as an ex-smoker I'd add: smoking makes you feel doing something, so smoking is a kind of an easy way to fight boredom and keep yourself busy.
why is a bottle of soda cheaper than a bottle of water?
Another thing to consider for some bottled water is that it's marketed as coming from a specific water source like Fiji or Evian so the transportation costs may be higher than soda produced more locally
Why are there no "Good" diseases?
Well I got mono in 6th grade and I got to stay home and watch The Price Is Right and Gilligan's Island reruns for 6 weeks. Edit: And take lots of naps
Why do most cases of tourette's have people uncontrollably yelling profanities?
They don't. the urge to yell obscenities and inappropriate things is called coprolalia. Only about 10% of people with Tourettes have it--more in the severe cases. But the majority do not. It's dramatic and entertaining so it happens in TV and movies. Plus: Tourette's used to be thought of as extremely rare and most people were unfamiliar with it. It since has turned out to be a lot more common than was thought, but the people who have mild cases are better able to conceal it. They mostly have small tics and people might not notice. But when you need to yell out curses, people will notice and remember it. Bonus: I read an interesting account of someone with Tourette's and coprolalia in the book *Moving Violations* by John Hockenberry. In that case, Hockenberry quoted many of the things that the guy with Tourette's said. While some were curse words, some were not curse words, but were totally inappropriate and dirty. Like describing sexual practices--none of the words were dirty, but all together the phrase was really inappropriate. So you don't need to know profanity. You just need to know that something, anything, is inappropriate.
Why is it such a difficult and lengthy process for a country to create a nuclear weapon?
For one thing, there's the process of uranium enrichment. You need the centrifuges to do it, a lot of uranium, and the enrichment process is in and of itself a time-intensive process.
Obamacare Point-By-Point - Part 4
I'm not sure if this has already been covered. I looked through the previous posts and didn't see anything. But could someone explain the whole birth control/religious institutions thing? I'm reading a lot about it and from what I can tell, the institution can 'opt-out' of providing it making the insurance company pay for it. Is this correct? Are people still up in arms about it?
Why was Kim Davis arrested while the judge Tonya Parker seems to have gotten off Scott free.
Because her job description doesn't have the performance of marriage ceremonies as a primary responsibility. It's something she *can* do, but it's not something she *has to* do. And even when she does deny the performance of marriage ceremonies, she still sends people to a judge that would perform the ceremonies. Or that's how it was in 2012. ----- As to Kim Davis, a significant part of her job is literally to issue marriage licenses. In refusing to do so, she not only broke the laws that declare such marriages legal but also is actively refusing to do her job. And if someone doesn't want to do their job, they shouldn't be surprised when they are punished by their employers.
How is it that iphone storage is full but it's still possible to stream songs over Spotify
Most likely by holding a portion of system RAM to store music. Audio doesn't take much storage space to save: an hour of streaming music could probably be held in 100mb or less, although if no persistent storage is available, the app is likely caching a lot less than that at any given point.
how does McDonald's make every item taste the same as the last time I got it and even at a different location?
the raw products are shipped to the franchises but the base meat, buns, fries etc all made at the same locations using the same recipes and methods. But hey even with this there could be some variation, McDonalds doesn't want that. In order to cook the meat it is placed in a machine which cooks is for a specific amount of time this type of machine is at every mcdonalds. They apply condiments with a device that squirts out similar amounts of mayo etc. I'm not kidding they work hard to make their food consistent if not great.
Why Japanese pornography managed to be so perverse despite the country's notorious sense of honour, pride and dignity?
I think a vastly overlooked aspect of Japanese porn in general, is their habit of putting it in *context.* Sure, it's sex, but it's a *game show* with sex! Instead of just watching some horny white wife getting gangbanged, There's a little set-piece where she's having dinner with his husband and a couple work buddies, before hubby goes for a shower and they bend her over the kitchen table before he gets back. Everything in Western porn seems to exist in this porn-verse where everybody is some kind of perfect stereotype and everybody does anal. Japanese porn places sex right in the middle of their life experiences, or at least what they wish their experiences were like.
Why doesn't smoking, drinking or doing other drugs while pregnant qualify as child abuse or neglect?
In the United States, if you test positive for illegal substances at birth, they will open a Department of Human Services investigation on you and any other children in your care. You do end up court involved, but it's in dependency court, not criminal court. Though one of the potential consequences of dependency court involvement is having your custodial rights suspended and the children being removed from your care. Source: worked in dependency court for three years and have seen many cases become court involved as a result of mothers on drugs at birth.**Just because a woman is pregnant does not mean her only purpose in life is suddenly to be a baby-incubator.** The wishes, preferences, well-being, and right to say "fuck it," of a living breathing ALIVE person will ALWAYS be more important than an unborn lump of cells that can't survive outside its host.It's an extraordinarily bad row to hoe telling women what they can and cannot do with their bodies, even while pregnant. Peoples' bodies should be sacrosanct.
How does 1+2+3+4+5... = -1/12
I'm assuming that you mean 1-2+3-4+5-6 and so on since the summation of an arithmetic series is positive infinity.
If Butter is just churned Cream. Why does Cream go bad very quickly, but Butter lasts a long time?
Butter begins to go bad immediately, just much slower. All fats/oils will go rancid as outer layers oxidize and dry up further. Basically the individual pieces of 'fat' that are the base ingredient in butter are slowly chopped and broken into smaller ingredients that aren't useful / tasty / appealing. This happens automatically simply from being exposed to air. We don't want this so lots of people store it on the counter but under water and with something blocking out light, keeping it from contacting the air when possible. It mainly alters the smell and taste into something you would find less appealing, I'm not certain its anywhere near as serious as cream spoiling which can make you quite sick. Germs don't grow well on a dry fat/salt diet which is all they get from most butters. _URL_0_", 'Bacteria need water to live. When you make butter the fat part of the cream separates from the liquid portion of cream and you remove as much of the liquid as possible leaving mostly the fat. Since Butter is mostly fat it has little water to support bacteria. Instead, like all fats, butter normally spoils through oxidationCream is very wet and has lots of sugars for mold spores to consume and grow. Butter is dry, has very little sugar, and often has salt added. All of these inhibit mold growth.
Why Unix based software can't get (gets far fewer?) viruses than Windows software
Mostly because it's not as valuable or as easy of a target, since there are a lot fewer machines and they tend to be maintained by more competent individuals .
If oil is so expensive/limited, why is plastic so cheap and widely available?
The 'oil' used to make plastics are a different types of byproducts of making gasoline. Refineries don't make a large profit on these items. It's more of a 'please take this shit off my hands' kind of deal. It's either the refinery sells the stuff for cheap or spends billions creating its own plastic manufacturing plant. Refineries specialize in transforming non gasoline molecules into gasoline molecules. What wasn't converted is sold as a separate product. There are components like benzene that have a limit of how much can be blended in gasoline. These are the products separated off and sold to make other products. Gasoline is not a specific molecule, it's a blend of hydrocarbons within a range depending on the octane rating. Source: work at an oil refinery.A lot of plastic is made from natural gas. It gets converted to a monomer like ethylene, propylene, or styrene which gets converted to a polymer like polyethylene, polypropylene, or polystyrene. And natural gas is really cheap nowYour basic understanding is wrong. Oil is not limited, nor is it expensive. A whole barrel of oil cost about $49 right now. A barrel of oil is about 159 liters. 30 cents a liter.All the answers so far are good, but one thing to note is that oil isn't very expensive - gasoline is cheaper than bottled water, if you say a 500mL bottle of water costs $1
why are lobsters so expensive?
they used to be cheap and poor man's food until the railroad allowed mass distribution. then it's popularity shot up, and now it's mainly supply/demand, and it's status as a delicacy..
What happens as we grow up that makes us stop liking people of this age and instead like people closer to a different age, and why does this not happen for pedophiles?
I wouldn't say anyone stops feeling sexual attraction to, say, a 20-year-old just because they're in their late 40s. If anything, what happens is that your upwards age broadens out. To use the late-40s example again: You still find an 18-year-old to be sexually attractive, but a woman of 60 will have more in common with you in maturity and emotional intelligence. It's just less likely that you'll end up with someone significantly younger than you unless it's a paid transaction.
If I jump how long must I be above the ground for the earth to noticeably rotate below me.
Won't matter. Imagine you are in a train. It doesn't matter how high you jump in the train, the train will never pass by underneath you. Same principle applies with your question.
Why is English considered one of the hardest languages to learn?
I used to work with people from all over the world. Many of them knew two or three languages on top of English. They didn't think English was all that difficult. Especially the ones from Eastern Europe. A Czech man actually laughed when I suggested English was difficult to learn.
Why do so many people have a primal fear of spiders when only like 1% of them are dangerous?
Part of the problem is spiders are pretty derpy creatures. I.e., they show little evasive behavior unless you really threaten to stomp them. And even then they may not really take flight, just go into temporary hiding, only to creep at you again a minute later. ***And fast.*** Therefore, being fvcking alert once you spot one of those fvckers and either a) take flight yourself or b) kill that bastard ASAP. is essential. Also, there's a psychological aspect: ***Spiders, more than any other animal, resemble a grasping claw.*** It is my personal theory that's one of the reasons why this phobia is so persistent even in times and places spiders are hardly any threat to humans at all.
Is www._URL_0_ art? Is there any way I can justify classifying Jackson Pollock's "No. 5" as art while rejecting _URL_0_?
Yes, just say that you don't think _URL_1_ is art. Then come up with a few reasons and BAM! instant expression of opinion.
Why do Nasa launch rockets from sea level instead of from the top of a mountain
The same reason you don't sleep in your driveway so that you can get to the car faster in the morning. The savings are negligible compared to the inconvenience. Launching from the equator provides advantages in speed, and hauling everything up a mountain shaves off a minuscule part of your trip.True but the fuel needed to get the shuttle to the top of the mountain pretty much cancels out any fuel savings.That and building a launchpad is expensive
Why Is The NFL Draft So Popular Compared To The NBA/MLB/NHL Drafts?
The popularity that other commenters mentioned is probably the biggest thing. Football in general is much more popular on than the other sports. Other points: The NFL has the largest number of players that can make an immediate impact in any round. 95-99% of baseball prospects will take years to develop to a major league level, and the vast majority never make it. Also, scouting is more fun. The top basketball players generally stand head and shoulders above the rest, and busts are usually injury related. Baseball prospects fail far more often than they succeed, and this usually takes years to see. Can't miss football prospects bust all the time, but unheralded players succeed all of the time. You can play GM in your living room for months ahead of the draft. Plus, fantasy football.I think its because NFL as a league is more popular than NHL/NBA in states. So they tend to get more media coverage.
Why is prostitution still Illegal in some us states?
Victimless crimes are still crimes. Why should a crime be made legal? I don't think it's a crime and I think it should be legal.
Why are the capitals of US states (and even the US itself) usually not their largest cities?
Sometimes the largest city wasn't the largest city when the state was created. Las Vegas is a good example. Sometimes the state capital was chosen so that it was more centrally located within the state, remember, travel across a state could take days. Springfield IL and Columbus OH are examples of this.There may be many reasons. As an example, take British Columbia: The province of BC was created from the colonies of Vancouver Island and British Columbia when they joined Canada. They joined on the promise of a railroad connection to the rest of Canada, and for Canada to assume the debt of the colonies. Since there were 2 colonies , each with their own capital, one had to be chosen for the capital of the new province. As there was no railroad connection yet, the port city of Victoria was more economically important to the region and became the capital of the new province. After the railroad was completed however, New Westminster experienced rapid growth. Economic power shifted to what would become the Vancouver area.I don't know about US states and capitals, but the Australian example is Canberra, which was a compromise between its two most important cities Sydney and Melbourne. Making one the capital was unacceptable to the other, so they created a new city to be the capital.
Why is the US not funding NASA?
NASA is heavily funded, as others have pointed out. But when the Space Shuttle was retired a strategic decision was made to rely on Russian Soyuz craft for transport to the ISS until alternates were available. There are multiple private companies working on next generation ships, as well as NASA's own Orion project. Even if NASA had 10x the budget, they wouldn't be able to magically made a new craft available next week.
When you first start a diet and lose "water weight" that first week, what's really going on?
Yes, there absolutely is a water-to-dissolved solute ratio that you body needs to maintain. In addition to what others have already said let me add that these concentrations are carefully maintained by your kidneys and every cell in your body and are very important for biological purposes. Salt concentration, for example, drives the timer for heartbeats so you need to maintain the concentration within tight bounds. More relevantly here, however, is the discussion of blood pressure. You eat some huge meal with fries and a couple of cookies and you've added carbs and salts to your system that are both solutes that now affects the dissolved particle concentration in your body by raising it. The body doesn't wanted that toyed with by something as fleeting as a meal so it just adds water to the blood and tissues to dilute it back out by retaining urine and causing you to drink more. BAM, water weight. It's not bad, it literally is the weight of some extra water your body needs. Eat really clean for a few days and your body will have a lot less dissolved particles to solubility and so will need to pee away extra water to keep things from becoming too dilute. Now you're a god who lost 12 pounds in his first week at the gym.
If Kim Jong Un wants to look like the perfect man to his people, then why does he not go to the gym and work out?
Shit, if I could just issue a decree that I was the perfect image of masculinity and have it enforced on pain of death, I probably wouldn't go to the gym either.That's the western definition of "perfection". Just like standards change across cultures and eras, Kim Jong Un is probably the definition of "perfection" in North Korea.Because when you tell people since birth that you're God, and your likeness is plastered everywhere they can see, why would being a body-builder change that image?
Why aren't stainless steel countertops, like in restaurant kitchens, magnetic, but stainless steel knives are?
Several people have mentioned the different alloys and which ones are/aren't magnetic, but no one has mentioned the reason. I'll take a stab at it but it's been a while since I learned the theory. Maybe someone else can go into more technical detail. The molecules of different materials have different resistance to realigning their poles in the presence of a magnetic field. In pure iron, the domains move more freely, and in stainless, the extra metals added interfere with that temporary realignment. Think of the magnetic field as water flow, and the metal as a bunch of tiny tubes all jumbled up and not connected. Iron allows the tubes to realign into a flow path for the field, whereas stainless can't realign as easily. Once there's a path for flow, the field holds on to the metal it has realigned, creating the force that you feel when you try to remove the magnet.
Why would a drug dealer lace their product with carfentanil, which is causing so many OD deaths? Aren't they reducing their own customer base?
Tldr it makes the drugs stronger and more addictive. It's easier to get hooked so they sell more
How can a man consent to sex when he is drunk, but a woman can not?
The trick in understanding this is that rationality has absolutely nothing to do with anything. Logic and that stuff only applies to maths and physics. If you don't believe this get a year's speeches from any politician and try to figure out how any person can claim to believe so many contradictory things. And don't forget about the old double standard.
Why do schools with low standardized test scores lose funding? Aren't those the schools that need more funding?
The pattern you're describing is not general policy. It's a specific effect of the No Child Left Behind [sic] Act , as amended. If you look at the major sponsors of that bill and their supporters, it's pretty clear that the real purpose of NCLB is not to help children or public schools, but to punish public schools and their students for not meeting certain fairly arbitrary expectations, and in the longer term to divert public funding to private education, such as charter schools. Politically, NCLB is only the most direct and powerful of a larger brace of strategies to ultimately dismantle public education and replace it with private education -- ideally, using public money. The people who support this are exactly who you suppose, and their reasons are exactly what you suspect.
Why are some people seemingly born with good time and money management skills while others need actual training to become decent at it?
No one is born with good money/time management skills. But people learn from their surroundings. I grew up poor so it was ingrained that I should only buy things on sale or then they are too expensive. Buy them only if needed, or make do with other tricks without them, fix things yourself, buy quality, etc. I also played several games. Especially MMOs with working economies are great. You learn how easy it is to lose everything from a bad deal or a big risk , how to buy low and sell high, which items to make/farm to make money, etc. Others didn't have such exposure -- or worse, saw or were pressured to make non frugal decisions . As for time management I don't really know what that is . Edit: huh. I think at some point I realised it was common sense that if I finish homework now then I won't be stressed about it and won't ever have to think about it again and could focus more wholeheartedly on the tasks in front of me. I guess time management can be innate through common sense / self analysis. Also it just Felt terrible to context switch. I still say money management is better learned through watching however. It is VERY complicated with MANY moving pieces. Definitely frugality would help -- money is expensive in terms of time and energy. If you don't buy that laptop you could take a month off work, etc.
Both Christian and Islam forbids worshiping idols, why is it alright for there to be paintings of Jesus and other figures in cathedrals?
OP: This is one of the major points of contention Martin Luther had with the Catholic church, and is one of the central points that makes Catholicism and Protestantism different. You'll notice between Catholic and Protestant denominations there is a lack of statuaries in the church. Protestant churches believe that veneration of saints is prayer, and prayer to anything other than directly to God is idolatry. Catholics do not believe it is prayer and is not idolatry.
Why are public schools in rich areas so much nicer than those in poorer areas? If they're all funded by government, shouldn't they be the same?
Also better neighbourhoods have less wear and tear and so can spend their capital on nice fresh paint where it needs it Not wear they're covering up some spray paint or whatever.
Why did someone pay $43.8 million for this Barnett Newman painting?
> I don't find the painting sublime. That's fine. Just a matter of taste I guess. > Should it be seen in person to 'get'? I've heard his paintings are best viewed in person from a fairly close distance. I don't want to go all deep into it or whatever but it's essentially about the painting covering your entire field of vision, engulfing you in it. That's what I think of his paintings, anyway. I think his painting called [*Anna's Light*] would give you an idea of what I mean.
Why does bread get soggy in the microwave, but meat dries out?
Moisture bursts out of pockets throughout the bread and meat has fat and moisture throughout which cooks off very fast. Think of bacon in the microwave. I could be totally wrong and I am definitely an idiot, but I think bread has higher moisture content than most meat. Hope I'm right! If I'm wrong I know reddit will tell me.
Why are there so many groups that hate The West?
The West has a disproportionate share of wealth and power, relative to the rest of the world, and uses these resources to advance its own interests, often at the expense of others. Since you mentioned ISIL specifically, it's worth nothing that the Soviet Union, US, UK, and a number of other powerful western countries have been routinely projecting force into the Middle East for generations The West also routinely works with regimes that have very questionable human rights records in order to secure access to oil and maintain regional stability. Naturally, all these actions have sown quite a bit of discontent in the Middle East.
How the hell you could essentially travel to the future by going faster than light.
The big difference in time isn't made by your speed, but instead by the distance traveled. Apparently, space and time are linked together. Here's a brief explanation: _URL_1_
What is leading to the continuous generational increase in accumulation of college debt?
There's a ton of factors. But a big one is *who* is going to college. In your grandfather's college day , you didn't need a college degree. So many people who couldn't afford to go, simply didn't, but they got good jobs and went on with a fine middle class life. Others often came from backgrounds who didn't need to take on debt to go. They just paid the tuition. Either by working, or having parents who saved. Fast forward to today. Yes, college tuition has climbed astronomically, but also, pretty much every has to go to get even an outside shot in life these days. People are going with no savings, and who can't afford it. As such, they take out loans.
why do lithium ion batteries degrade over time?
Basically there are two main problems. 1 leeching. Well johnny there two little things in a battery called electrodes. They sit in a liquid called electrolyte. Now imagine the electrodes are cookies and the electrolyte is milk. If you did the cookies in the milk enough times some of the cookie falls apart about stay the in milk. So basically every time to charge / discharge your phone it's like dipping the cookie into the milk again. 2 solid electrolyte interphase formation. Okay Johnny imagine you have a sticker. If you stick it the puppy it will stick pretty well. Then if you pull it off you see some hair is stuck to the sticker. Then you stick it back to the puppy and pull it off again. You keep doing this till the whole sticker is covered in hair so it won't stick to the puppy any more Source : did 2 years of research on electrode materials in lithium ion batteries
Being such a vast country, how come the US does not have high speed trains to connect major cities?
To add to other comments, many large US cities are not very centralized and have poor public transit within the city. For example, a high-speed train between Houston and Dallas would be next to useless, because you'd still need a car at either destination.
Why isn't all internet traffic secure/encrypted?
The encryption wouldn't make much speed difference on the user's side, but the server side would have to be encrypting/decrypting for every single connected user, which all adds up. So they would need many more servers for the same number of users due to the increased load.
Why/how do we involuntarily scream when we're scared?
Babies aren't smart enough to analyze a situation and decide their best course of action is to get the attention of their parents. So evolution hard-wired it. The instinct continues beyond adolescence. We probably evolved to keep the scream reaction because if you are in trouble the quicker you alert others the more likely you are to get help and survive.
Why do people have fetishes, and why are some more extreme than others?
I think it's worth noting that fetishes and kinks are separate and different things. A kink is simply a turn-on, ranging from small to huge, whereas a fetish is something that an individual cannot enjoy sex without. Additionally, kinks almost always revolve around sexuality, whereas fetishes can be really bizarre sometimes.
How can governments (such as the US Government in 1933) legally or ethically ban gold, and what is the objective of doing so?
Legally - government can do anything it wants within the bounds of the Constitution. Ethically - policies behind laws are to achieve an end desirable by the government. That's about the extent of ethics for governments. As long as its legal it's ethical too. Been reading some Ayn Rand?", 'Currency used to be tied to a gold standard. If a country had $100 billion of currency circulating, it had to have that much gold in a vault somewhere to back it, give or take. So regulating the flow of gold was vital to the national interest.
Why are old people so small and short?
Old people experience sarcopenia as they age, which is a form of muscle loss. As the get weaker they often develop poor posture. Poor posture along with osteoporosis and degenerating vertebral disks decreases their affective height. Lifting weights can help with all of these factors except maybe disk degeneration. The main factor limiting their height is posture. Basically they lose muscle, the squishy disks in their spine get worn out, and they're bones get brittle and worn down.
What is a community college and why is it looked bad upon?
In my country public education is as good as it comes. It's even better than private education. Many South Americans come here to study on our free institutions, and we're totally thankful for it. We believe that's the way it should be, after all, people who come out of those places are the future of the country.I'm a special education teacher on the secondary level who works with many students who have to "settle" for community college . Transpose that with my experience as a parent: my son is currently attending a state university, with room and board, for about $20k/year. I'm thrilled that he got into his selective state school and that he has the opportunity to go away for school, but it's a hardship for us--I'm a public school teacher who is the only income in our family, so ouch. I tell my students who are disappointed that they couldn't get into a four year school about my mom, who went back to college when my younger brothers and I were little. She started at a community college, which was FREE back then, and went on to a university. She wound up getting her Ph.D. and has been a practicing psychologist for years. She might not have done it had it not been for the community college step up. She has no shame now that she started off at a community college; in fact, she feels smart for having done it that way. And numerous college advice websites here in the US will tell you that starting out at a community college and then transferring is a great way to save money.
Why are voices so distinct and recognizable?
Being able to differentiate our family and friends from the enemy at a distance was key to our early survival. All social animals are able to identify individuals from looks and voices. If you couldn't tell the difference until the other person was right up on you close enough to smell or touch, then an evil doer would bash your head in with a rock and steal your food / shelter / spouse / possessions.
How is electric vehicle more environmental friendly when manufacturing of lithium-ion is hazardous?
The problem with electric car batteries is less the manufacturing process and more about the energy losses, from energy production, transmission and storage. I don't know which is true for sure, but I would be very surprised if manufacturing a battery is worse for the environment than burning hundreds of barrels of petroleum through the life of the car. Sure, the energy to charge the battery has to come from somewhere, but the hybrid technology undeniably saves enough fuel to _mostly_ compensate for the battery's environmental impact. The problem is how much electrical energy can actually be converted to mechanical work. Electrical grid transmission to your house loses somewhere around 30%. Charging the battery? Lose another 20-30% to heat and charging inefficiencies. The battery will lose charge on its own over time as well. On the other hand, very little energy is lost for liquid fuel, which has an incredibly high energy density. All things considered, it's probably a draw, unless the energy source is fully renewable and plentiful, such as solar.What hazard of battery manufacturing? Take some time to [read about how the Gigafactory will operate], and then ponder how the existing global supply chain for "regular" cars works and then come back with a question that might actually be answerableI wonder this too. On top of that, although it is electric, plugging it into an outlet, it is still getting energy from another source . So is the carbon footprint still less than gas?', "It's s higher initial cost, but the cost over time is lower. So if you buy an electric car, keep it for a while before scrapping it.
Why can we use controllers with PCs but not keyboard and mouse with consoles?
Because it will be too obvious that is a lesser PC after all. They want you to think that consoles are specialized hardware black boxes to run games. Also KB/Mouse doesn't fit in a living room.
Why is it that some planets closer to the Sun are colder then planets further away?
A big reason Mercury can have areas colder than the Earth is that Mercury barely has any atmosphere and has a very slow rotation rate. The areas which are colder are on the night side of Mercury. So once the sun sets, the hot surface radiates into space and can get very cold because it has many weeks in total darkness and without an atmosphere, heat from the day side can't make it to the night side.
Why is a bullet so deadly?
Kinetic energy. Put a bullet on a stick, then push it slowly through a body. Unless you happen to pierce a major artery or the heart, the chances of killing the person are slim . But bullets have kinetic energy, which is given by KE = 1/2 MV^2, or mass times the velocity squared. So double the velocity, you get four times the energy. When something with that much energy enters the body, it transfers somewhere between a little and all of that energy to the surrounding tissue, and that energy transfer is like a little explosion, and can easily turn your guts into chunky salsa. Blood vessels that are not in the direct path of the bullet can be blown open. Organs get ruptured. It's generally a mess. At MUCH higher kinetic energies, things get insane even for teensy objects. On one Space Shuttle mission, one of their windows was hit by a *paint chip* traveling at about 20,000 miles an hour. It left a hole in the window that looked like somebody had shot a glass window with a BB. If that had been a fair-sized steel bolt instead, it would have surely destroyed the shuttle. Crank your starship up to maximum impulse drive, where you're going a goodly percentage of the speed of light, and a single *dust grain* will hit with the force of a large artillery shell.
Why having one world currency would be a bad thing
From what I understand from my macro theory class , a common currency exacerbates monetary crises like we're seeing with the EU now. While the US has over $15 trillion in debt, the majority is owed to citizens and the government through bonds/Treasury bills. More importantly the debt is in our own currency, so if it came down to brass tacks we have central control over increasing the money supply and printing more dollars , even at the risk of high inflation. With the Euro, states ceded control over monetary policy by accepting a common currency. As we're seeing with Greece, Portugal, etc.. their debt is spiraling out of control since they owe the money in Euros which they have no authority over as it's delegated to the European Central Bank. There's **so** much more that goes into this and I'm sure someone else will do a much better job at explaining the intricacies of the problem, this is just what I remember from a class I took. It should be noted that it was taught by a staunch Democrat, so take that as you will.
How/why do some women die during childbirth?
Maternal mortality has gone down a lot - fewer women are dying from birth, but birth is still very traumatic even when everything goes right. When it goes right, it's physically exhausting - like running a marathon - and often women can't eat or drink. Women also lose a lot of blood. Then the baby needs to eat every 2-3 hours for the first few months, so sleep is hard to get and physical recovery is slow. There are many ways for things to go wrong. The baby can get stuck and one or both can die. The bleeding can be too much. Blood pressure can go up and cause seizures or a stroke - this is called eclampsia. The blood cells themselves may be damaged and the liver and kidneys can be damaged . Blood clots can go to the lungs and be deadly. A lot of germs can get into the birth canal and cause infections, which can also get in the blood stream. Breasts can get infected and cause flu like symptoms and cause death without antibiotics. A cesarean delivery has many added risks too, because it's major abdominal surgery. Warning signs after birth are easy to dismiss - dizziness, tiredness, headache, exhaustion. High blood pressure may have no symptoms. Doctors or women may not take them seriously.Blood loss is both how and why many women die during birth. There is a long list of possibilities but a lot of deaths are related to material blood lossSometimes the placenta wraps around blood vessels and when it is removed, it tears the blood vessels and the mom bleeds out. This is why prenatal care is so important so they can identify issues like these before delivering the babyBlood loss, stroke, amniotic embolus, seizure that should cover the biggies. As to what leads to these, it can be any number of complications. Birth is a highly stressful process for the body.
Why are green peppers less expensive to buy at a grocery store than red and yellow peppers? Are green ones easier to grow and harvest?
I used to pick them. Indeed they are on the same plant, just left a little longer to ripen and change. Not that the green ones aren't ripe as well though. They are. There are usually less red ones each season as they are pretty much the not quite ripe green ones we left on the bush on the first pass through a particular part of a field.Red green orange and yellow peppers are all the same plant. The longer you let it ripen the more red it turns from green. Some varieties are better for certain colors but all start out green and mature to redGreen are first off the plant - less chance of spoilage Chillis are the same, green chillis - hotter but on the plant less time, red - on the plant longer, not as spicy', "Am I the only person in the world who prefers green peppers? They're much more satisfying. I'm very glad they're usually cheaper - I eat a dozen a week.They are the same peppers, correct! They red and yellow ones need to be on the plant longer, longer grow cycle, which means the cost goes upColor wise : green is the first stage then until it get ripes it will slowly turn to yellow then redSupply and demand, people like the other colors better, so they cost more. Orange bells are the bomb.Follow-up question, peppers are empty, what's the gas inside of them ? Air ?
Why i have a 20 megabit/second internet connection on speedtests but i cant stream a simple youtube video without buffering.
Try this: _URL_0_ Long story short, it's either youtube being slow, or something between you and youtube, or your local connection isn't good at all times
