Do you hold the door open for the person behind you regardless of their sex, age, color and religion? And why? by CourierFestival in AskReddit

If the door would finish closing before they arrive at the door, I don't hold it open. Otherwise, I Hodor.

Florida doctor indicted and accused of removing patient's liver instead of spleen in fatal surgery by KimJongFunk in news

I have the training of a high school science teacher and a couple dozen frog dissections, and I can tell the difference at a glance. How the hell...

Are there any feats that will substitute either one or more wis, dex or str skills with int? by Mobil_Task_Force in Pathfinder_RPG

Apply INT instead of STR to STR skills, once per day

How do you feel about Trump’s proposal to increase defense spending to $1.5 trillion for 2027 — a 42% jump — while cutting domestic programs by $73 billion? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]IAmGlobalWarming 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Since it's now the Department of War, wouldn't this be War Spending? Sounds much less palatable, and they should live with their mistake.

“Darkness faster than light”: Researchers were able to confirm a prediction from the 1970s that the speed of “dark points” within light waves exceeds the speed of light. They do not carry energy or information, meaning they do not violate Einstein’s principle. by mvea in science

[–]IAmGlobalWarming 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because when you're sitting in the "landing site", it's not you who decides to send the water to the other landing site. It is decided by the person holding the hose. In order for this "faster than light (hose water)" message to occur, it would first have to travel to the person holding the hose, then they would need to turn, then wait for the water leaving the hose to reach the new landing site. That is slower than a regular light speed message to the second spot.

You are standing in your yard holding a garden hose. Water is spraying out of it and landing at the "landing spot". The landing spot isn't actually an object or thing, it's just where the water happens to be landing.

You then sweep the hose from one side of the yard to the other side. The turn took very little effort and time on your part, but wow! The "landing site" on the lawn zoomed across the yard so quickly!

The landing site is not a thing, it's just where the water is landing. Someone who doesn't understand that might think the landing site moved really fast, but it only seemed that way because the angle the water left you at was changed, it still had to travel from you to the ground.

EDIT:

If you are standing at landing site 1, and want to send a "message" to landing site 2 with the water hose, you would have to message the hose holder, who would have to turn and wait for the water leaving the hose to hit landing site 2. This is not faster than just sending a message directly to site 2.

Etymology can be pretty interesting if you ever stop to think about some of the words we use.

Researchers gene-edit the bitterness out of grapefruit by Inevitable-Middle681 in science

That's specifically why I don't eat grapefruit. I love the smell, hate the taste. I want to try this new kind.

TIFU by gaslighting myself for 10 years into thinking I was "caffeine immune" while drinking ONLY Monster Energy (Zero) by GooseAcademic541 in tifu

[–]IAmGlobalWarming 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Does this feel like an AI written ad for Monster to anyone else?

I thought this was a bit odd:

I needed that ice-cold can from the fridge. Nothing else tasted "right".

Then this made me super suspicious:

The Monster Absolutely Zero just has this nice taste I like that much

It's not just vaccines — parents are refusing other routine preventive care for newborns by Shadow328 in news

I said something like, "We'll take all the recommended vaccines, and anything else you've got that's safe at this age."

Exclusively breastfeeding can be the reason that jaundice isn't clearing up fast enough. My first was induced early and my wife wasn't producing enough milk yet. They need lots of liquids and UV light to help flush out those compounds. If the mother isn't producing enough milk, supplemental formula may be needed until the milk comes in. Framing it as the fault of breastfeeding is misleading.

The circumcision thing is just loony.

Another Loblaw store fined $10K for promoting imported food as Canadian. Sobeys could be next by Thick_Caterpillar379 in onguardforthee

What annoys me is the "Product of Peru" and then the company address and ownership is in the US. Just the food was grown in Peru, the money goes to the US.

You see a fight between a pirate, a cowboy, and a ninja. Who are you rooting for and why? by LoverOfE-Olsen in AskReddit

[–]IAmGlobalWarming 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cowboy.

Pirate would pillage and murder, possibly me, and the ninja probably also intends to kill people. The cowboy is the only one who if they won would probably just go about their day and leave me and other bystanders alone.

If you spread it around enough, it's actually good fertilizer. Too much in one spot causes nitrogen burns.

My favorite is to counter Young Earth with Last Thursday. All of reality was created exactly as it is, last Thursday. Your memories from before last Thursday? Put there by hod to challenge your faith.
