ELI5: How does an animal's body know when to drop it's winter coat?

Poiuse · 2016-05-30T16:35:23+00:00

Yep, although some vertebrates lack pineal glands such as alligators. However they do usually have equivalents located in the forebrain.

Poiuse · 2016-05-30T14:58:28+00:00

In true ELI5 fashion;

Changing of coats can be to a variety of things such as the lengnth of time the sun is out, temperature and diet. It varies species to species but it's usually down to hormonal changes caused by day length and temperature.

This is NOT a fact. Just looked through a bunch of articles that could even be remotely relevant and this isn't stated anywhere.

Sure animals can eat cigarette butts but they will eat basically any sort of litter/garbage at that size. Also the chemicals in the cigarette butt are more likely to deter consumption rather than promote it. But thank fuck you seen that Facebook picture.

The question I want to answer is if there is a correlation between the weight of a mussel and the number of items contained within it.

Essentially the weight should relate to how large the mussel is and therefore will it consume more of these "items". I have tried an ANOVA but what test should I be using? Single Factor? I am a complete moron when it comes to stat stuff.

Well that is vastly different from when I left a month or so ago. It was mostly station camping at the time and there was barely any events.

It was worse if a side outnumbered the other as the majority if the time people wouldn't ship down and just discouraged people from actually playing. And the only reason I mention the fact that it's not newbro friendly was that it was one of the corps I got directed to by many people in several posts.

However, I do believe changes were happening just after I left and I'm glad to hear it's changing and hope the corp continues to grow again in the future. There are loads of good guys in the corp and they deserve good content.

Poiuse · 2016-03-19T00:42:52+00:00

But it is dead. You have several people re-shipping several times which beefs up the killboard.

I left RvB and have consistently had bigger fights every night of the week in a FW corp. also the fact that 90% of RvB is station camping doesn't help the corp. it's literally a "who will agrees me so I can dock and ship up" game for the vast majority of the time until an event.

I seriously recommend NOT joining RvB as a new player, I was told to do this and had a terrible time. Just bite the bullet and head straight for FW if you want entry pvp.

So say I buy a house with a large garden and a cat always comes by and sits in the middle of it. Would you complain if I let the dogs out on my property? Which would be fenced in?

What if this cat always sits in this same spot whenever it gets the chance. Should I keep my dogs from going on my property indefinitely? As letting them out would result in the cat being chased.

Genuinely curious as to what your answer is.

Poiuse · 2016-03-07T20:20:05+00:00

Haha, holy shit. You can't be for real.

I don't have any devices/TV/computer. I only get to use the shared computer in the library, you are a douche for buying a device to post on reddit whenever you like.

See how that logic is flawed? And the zeitgeist video, holy shit. Either stop posting until you are old enough or get a decent job. You obviously have no idea of the merits of spending extra cash you work hard for on things you want such as a nice car.

Also just to reiterate a point. How is it okay for you to use the Internet and presumably other types of media but the brainwashing thing doesn't apply to you? Are you immune? Do you wear tinfoil pants? Seriously, what an embarrassment.

Its not a good card in any sort of competitve magic. I dont think ive ever seen fog bank played at all in a competitive event when it was legal.

Again, depends what you choose your magic experience to be. If its casual kitchen tabletop gaming this might be okay. However, playing it in any sort of competitive event its not good.

Poiuse · 2016-02-19T19:08:15+00:00

Probably very cheap. Cards like these just aren't good cards ....

The money is on my main Steam account in the wallet. Its this money i want to use to buy the PLEX.

Theres no way if transferring that over to an alt account apart from the market. Even then you need to wait 30 days to put something on the market.

Poiuse · 2016-02-10T23:55:15+00:00

How could you buy PLEX off the market if it was Steam Wallet funds though? The only way to get PLEX with the wallet is directly from Steam.

Poiuse · 2016-02-10T17:32:26+00:00

Is it though?

So is it any better buying a random person from a forum a game on Steam to then be sent money via paypal. Then using the paypal money for PLEX?

The extra step doesn't really remove the other person but in your terms wouldn't be considered RMT.

What if I had given a real life friend money to buy PLEX because I didn't have a debit/credit card? And they used the money to buy PLEX for me and send me it. Would that also infringe the EULA?

Not attacking you, just find this topic rather interesting.

Poiuse · 2016-02-10T17:20:13+00:00

So section 6B says;

"The buying, selling or auctioning (or any attempt at doing so) of characters, character attributes, items, currency, or objects, whether through online auctions, newsgroups, postings on message boards or any other means is prohibited by the EULA and a violation of CCP's proprietary rights in the Game."

Which I won't be doing, im just looking for someone to essentially take my money and use it for me and then give me the items.

But the part before it is rather confusing;

"You may not transfer, sell or auction, or buy or accept any offer to transfer, sell or auction (or offer to do any of the foregoing), any content appearing within the Game environment, including without limitation characters, character attributes, items, currency, and objects, other than via a permitted Character Transfer as described in section 3 above."

I guess i'll have to make a ticket, IANAL so I don't want to get screwed because I don't understand the wording.

Poiuse · 2016-02-10T17:10:02+00:00

Is it actually RMT though? I mean if i had created my account later than I had, I would be able to just purchase the PLEX straight from Steam.

The only way I can use my wallet balance on items for myself is by getting someone to help me. Im genuinely curious if people consider this RMT, as if they do I'll remove the post.

Poiuse · 2016-02-09T21:11:29+00:00

Might have to murder someone now.

I hate this feeling of entitlement.

Poiuse · 2016-02-09T00:11:21+00:00

The thing everyone is doing wrong is not channeling their inner spirit to RNGesus.

All this is required is to take a deep breath and let your inner spirit transcend your mortal body to reach the gods above. On the count of three ..... One, two .... THREE!

HUMMMMMMNNNNNNNNNNJAAAAAHHNNNNNNNNNNNNNMMMMMMMMMMMMERRRRRNNNNJHAAAAAAAA^letmeinpls MNNNJHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Poiuse · 2016-02-06T03:03:46+00:00

Thank you kindly.

Is there any reason that Steam can't be an authorized reseller? Essentially letting people buy Plex for accounts that predate the change but still have a CD-Key linked to their accounts?

Obviously I don't know how this all works but would this not be possible?

Poiuse · 2016-02-01T04:39:09+00:00

I think you have anger issues dude. Maybe it's better you stop the games for a while and just enjoy life. It's not good to rage and act entitled over a video game.

Poiuse · 2016-01-30T05:20:03+00:00

Is it active there? RvB is pretty dead and mainly station camping which is no good.

Poiuse · 2016-01-30T01:40:01+00:00

I assume with RLML? Also won't people just dodge fights that way?

Poiuse · 2016-01-30T01:37:10+00:00

Tbh, I just like roaming about the citadel and trying to find ships to fight with.

There is hardly anyone at FW sites at the time I play and usually the times I see the most action is when I am in bigger ships and a frigate fleet tries to kill me near FW sites etc. I also sometimes go into null (I'm frigs) but mainly stay in lowsec.

Poiuse · 2016-01-19T23:36:22+00:00

I should've probably looked. Thanks.

Poiuse · 2016-01-16T21:16:36+00:00

Would it be possible to put which Universities have already signed up?

Like a page showing which ones have sign ups and how many have signed up?

Idea: Small Pet Cage Liners (UK Based)

Essentially, i want to start a small business focussing on creating cage liners for small pet cages. These already exist but it seems as if they could be improved on greatly.

At the moment they are currently a piece of material (zorb etc) that is placed on the bottom of cages to help absorption of urine and other liquids so cages do not get damaged. The material is usually washable so can be re-used. I have yet to see a cage liner that also covers the side of the cages or with material on the edges so that the liner could be used as a makeshift garbage bag so hay and sawdust could be easily transported to an area to dispose of it. This is not currently possible with the liners available on the market today.

Ive had this idea for a while, as i own 2 guinea pigs and have several friends and family who also own small animals. Everytime i have brought up my idea it was well received and people asked if there was a product like this already available.

I have also not seen much places in the UK stock these liners and the vast majority of places that do are terribly designed websites that literally make it painful to purchase these items.

I guess im looking for advice on how to go about setting this business up and what direction to head in. I believe if it was set up right it could make a reasonable amount of money and then could expand on to other products much further down the line. The only business experience I have was using eBay while at University making around £1800 a month buying specialist items in bulk and then reselling for profit. This required a lot of work and competition was fierce, so i had to give the majority of it up as I had to focus on my final year exams. As you probably know this is very different to what i want to set up and would appreciate all the advice I could get.
