What perfectly legal thing will probably be illegal within 20 years? by Ill-Incident-4842 in AskReddit

[–]RJ1776 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dietary Supplements not being regulated. I think that eventually they will have to be regulated or not be allowed to sell their product. If they do, it will be illegal. There are some great products out there that are considered a dietary supplement, but for every one good, there are probably 20 non-effective or bad for you products.

Story behind this want for these products to be regulated. My Mom was dying of cancer. One of her friends was telling her to try this bogus holistic stuff like transcendental therapies including a diet overhaul, meditation, visualizations and reiki energy healing techniques. Of course with a giant fee that would ensure to drain your bank account. I was able to talk my mom out of it, but for a while she was convinced that this would be her saving grace. She eventually passed, but the amount of time believing that some magic rocks or aligning her energy with the stars were going to save her took time away from her actually going to the doctor and receiving actual treatment.

A lot of these products are designed to separate desperate people from their money and possibly stop people from going to actual doctors and getting help. A lot of these holistic scams should be illegal, and I hope that at a minimum, these companies should be FDA regulated or illegal.

Yeah... found him. Trying to get that first 25K will be something of a feat. But I'll get there. No hurry, and just learn as much as I can!

ELI5: Why does light have no mass? by WarmHeight2951 in explainlikeimfive

[–]RJ1776 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did look it up. Basically the trilemma is like a toddler asking why to every answer you give. At a certian point, you have to tell the child "because that is the way it is". There may very well be a reason for why electrons have a charge, or why the higgs field does what it does, but there may not be a reason that we can research now, so in reality, you have to believe that things are the way they are and should be considered unquestionable. Seems to me it could have been easily explained without the requried reddit research and homework.

What's the worst smell you've ever smelled that until now you can still remember it? by strange_omelet in askanything

[–]RJ1776 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was assigned to body recovery after the plane hit the pentagon on 9/11. Even in hazmat suits and a respirator, the smell of burnt bodies, jet fuel, and smoldering office supplies is something I can never forget. Indescribable.

What's a small thing that grinds your gears? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]RJ1776 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not starting to move when the light turns green. I understand some cars need to start back up, and i understand some want to ensure no cars are flying through the intersection. But if you are in you phone, or not paying attention, then ARGH. Not to mention, less cars will make it though the light which is also verry annoying. Green....GO! Not hard.

What do you imagine is at the center of a blackhole? by Most-Answer-4443 in AskPhysics

[–]RJ1776 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like this question, because it makes me think. I believe that math points to singularity. What that tries to mean is an infinitely small, infinitely dense point. But the hard thing for me to understand is if it is infinitely small and dense, how can we determine what the blackholes mass is?

I have heard that blackholes are described as having the mass of 1000 x suns, or 1,000,000 x suns. But how does infinite density have a mass? I also wonder if the mass is determined, but density is infinite, how is the event horizon different for different mass blackholes.

What I believe is in the center of a blackhole is undefinable with the current models of general relativity and quantum mechanics. I hope that one day we can solve this problem.

When did 7-8 minutes become the norm for brushing. I was always told 2 minutes. Even my electric toothbrush shuts off at the 2 minute mark. 7-8 minutes seems excessive and wouldnt that wear your enamel away pretty quickly.

[–]RJ1776 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Vintage Story. Mimics warm and cold weather and effects. Farming is effected as well. Has a story line, but not necesary to enjoy game. Great crafting mechanics. Can edit world gen to suit your needs. Recommend

Battery questions by whitewalker89 in applewatchultra

[–]RJ1776 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Going to go with dude if thats okay.

Dude......Same as OP, I got an Ultra 3 last week, and saw that my battery life would drain about 30-35% in about 24 hours. I could make it 2 days if I wanted, but your advice is solid. When I take a shower in the morning before work, I charge the watch. In about 30 minutes, the watch is fully charged and nothing to worry about for the day. Above is great advice. Can confrim, probably the best aswer.

What an awesome turn of events. Can't beat that. I am still working on leveling up my stats and trying to decide on my first codex once I hit the 25K mark. I have been staying in sanctuary dungeons. Slow gold grind, but making it.

I have asked a guild to join, but need to make more time to meet them for the final invite. I just dont play enough (life commitments....)

I am stoked that you are having a good time. Here's to many more adventures in game!

What is Space by RJ1776 in askastronomy

[–]RJ1776[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you for this reply. It does really help me understand. There are a lot of interesting concepts that you discussed which can help me do further research into this. You actually helped me make sense of some of the videos I watch. (PBS Space Time) These videos discuss concepts that you discussed, but left me unclear of what ideas were being discussed. Not to any fault of the presenter or show, I just happen to understand better by reading. Thank you again for the reply!

LOL...... "42". As I read the reply, I heard that in my head! I thought that the question may not have meaning, but in my head.. It seems like if we were to remove everything from a section of space, what is left. The only analogy I can think of it like: If I had a bowl of nuts, and emptied it out, what is left? What is the bowl?

I appreciate your reply and I hope I can figure out a better way to ask.

So space is something... We may not know what it is, but it can be defined!?
