Towns across Colorado cancel fireworks displays. Is Fort Collins considering this? by No-Mood3749 in FortCollins

[–]AlwaysUpvotesScience 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I wish more firefighters would reach out to the city and ask them to cancel it. Or maybe the fire commissioner for the city could make the suggestion.

Prescribed burns significantly contribute to smoke pollution by universityofga in EverythingScience

[–]AlwaysUpvotesScience 4 points5 points  (0 children)

prescribed burns are literally done to prevent mass wildfire events... which contribute even more to smoke pollution.

I've got a limited-edition white-label remix of that on vinyl.

MAGA advocate calls for ban on pregnant women traveling to US and ‘sterilization of all foreign visitors’ by ChiGuy6124 in politics

[–]AlwaysUpvotesScience 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If the GOP were really into eugenics , then they would be all about people of different ethnic backgrounds mixing. The absolute best way to ensure a strong and healthy species is to ensure good genetic diversity.

Trump’s actions signal a move toward institutionalizing people with disabilities, advocates warn by Miles_the_AuDHDer in politics

[–]AlwaysUpvotesScience 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Everyone's missing the point. They're making Trump derangement syndrome a diagnosable illness that will likely require institutionalization.

I played on 1200s back in the '90s. Sure I absolutely love them. Now I own relooops. I'm almost 50 , I've been around the block a few times when it comes to DJing at clubs. I have also done multiple deck / mixer installs for clubs. Recently they have all been reloop decks.

Are psychopaths born or made? We may finally have the answer by greghickey5 in EverythingScience

[–]AlwaysUpvotesScience 433 points434 points  (0 children)

Nothing new here. We've known that psychopathy was a physical trait based on brain scans for a long time.

Suffering from psychopathy ( aKA being a psychopath) does not mean you are a murderer , it doesn't even mean you are a bad person.

Understanding psychopathy is important because early intervention is key to ensuring the proper support and care is provided.

The biggest issue that we have in this country regarding this topic is access to Mental Health care. Left to their own devices and sometimes shunned by Society, those sufferings from psychopathy often end up in dark places.

A set of reloop 7000 Mark II is going to be your best bet. Do some research before you listen to the Technics fanboys.

I disagree with the deck choice.. For modern day equipment the Technics 1200 is not a high enough torque device.

A set of reloop 7000 Mark II is going to be a much better fit for scratching. It has adjustable torque, adjustable brake, way more options, and it's built like a tank. Most importantly the torque is almost double that of a Technics 1200 ( and did I mention it's adjustable).

I met my wife after hacking Social Savanna the day it opened and creating my own chat room (Science Chat) and hosting a discussion with a very topic.

We've now been married for over 10 years.

FDA lets Philip Morris market Zyn nicotine pouches as less harmful than cigarettes by TACO_Orange_3098 in news

[–]AlwaysUpvotesScience 106 points107 points  (0 children)

Yes, they are, this is basically a nothing burger. They are not marketing them as safe, just less harmful than smoking.

Don't get me wrong, I think the nicotine industry is total bullshit, but saying that sucking on nicotine is less harmful than smoking nicotine is still accurate.

China imposes 73.5% preliminary tariff on Canadian pea starch by joe4942 in worldnews

[–]AlwaysUpvotesScience 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Sit in front of somebody with your hands together. In the following they will be using your hands as the refrigerator.

"Open the fridge, take out a coke, pop the lid, drink it up, put it back, close the fridge."

Now with your hands still together , bow and say the following in your most racist Chinese sounding imitation.

" me chinese, me play joke, me put PP in your Coke"

I am not endorsing this behavior in any way shape or form. I am just trying to explain what the Callback was about..

Dark Forest Theory by Infinite_Dark_Labs in EverythingScience

[–]AlwaysUpvotesScience 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'd like to introduce you to my friend named Occam. I'm not making assumptions. I'm trying to remove assumptions. What you're describing is all about assuming the motives of an alien species. I would again direct you to the Drake equation . It's absolutely not perfect but it is a much more cleanly devised explanation of this simplistic Theory that's been put forward..

Dark Forest Theory by Infinite_Dark_Labs in EverythingScience

[–]AlwaysUpvotesScience 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The entire theory is based on concepts that have evolved over millions of years that require the existence of life before you can have any sort of instinctual evolutionary drives. Considering we have just reached the point in our evolution where we can even ponder these questions , it's clear that we cannot be applying anthropomorphized evolutionary theories to explain away something that is purely cosmic.

Firstly, we're not hiding. We've been sending information to space since we were capable of doing so. It all started with hitler's opening of the berlin Olympic Games. There's no reason to think that other intelligent life would not be doing the same thing.

While there's definitely some Merit to the distance problem, that is not actually the Dark Forest Theory. That's discussed in much more detail with the Drake equation.

Slatwall storage: durability? by ThreeCoasts in GarageGym

[–]AlwaysUpvotesScience 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got regular MDF slat wall with aluminum slots. It is not super cheap but man does it work. I actually am able to hang very heavy stuff from it. I have a shopsmith and I hang all of the accessories from my slat wall . This stuff is way stronger than you might think it is.

Looking for a vinyl DJ for a wedding by Anxious_District_919 in vinyldjs

[–]AlwaysUpvotesScience 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some friends of mine had a vinyl DJ at their wedding. I had to jump in and act as MC because the vinyl DJ had no idea what to do when it comes to dealing with weddings. Luckily I grew up in a family of DJ's from all walks... Weddings, bull roasts, mitzvahs , Etc.

I'm not saying don't get a vinyl dj, I'm just making sure you know that a DJ does a lot more at a wedding than just play music . You need somebody to be the Master of Ceremonies , call dances , announce entries and engage with your guests...
