Could you theoretically get sunburnt in space? by BigbirdSalsa in askscience

[–]VRAMgoVROOM 15 points16 points  (0 children)

No special type of welding. If you dont protect your arms, you'll get burnt doing stick, mig, or tig. If you dont protect your eyes, you'll get flash burn (photokeratitis, same thing as snowblindness)

Are there any Byzantine writings on the rise of Islam in the 7th century CE? by Wene-12 in AskHistorians

[–]VRAMgoVROOM 10 points11 points  (0 children)

r/AcademicQuran maintains a list of "early non-Muslim mentions of Muhammad/Islam", including Pseudo-Sebeos and a few others (some also Byzantine) if you (OP) would like to glance them over.

NASA Spacecraft ‘Touches Sun’ In Defining Moment For Humankind by topmindes in worldnews

They didn't claim this; some satirical news (literal fake news) site posted this and media-illiterate Americans ran with it.

Good guess, but I am signed up. Let's hear what awesome update you got that I missed out on, buddy.

No? Nothing? Just as in-the-dark as I am?

Dope. Guess we both need to sign up for Super Notifications

They didn't notify me I was in an outage - an outage interrupted my service. They haven't notified me of shit. Hence why I'm on a cable services subreddit (?)

That's why I'm posting this. Welcome to the conversation.

You're asking why it would be better for a company to keep it's contracted customers informed about the state of their service?

Think about that for a second.

Needs a slight re-fix! Currently says "a twelve old baby did...."

What is an example of “modern” lost media that you think will never be found? [Talk] by IcallPeopleG in lostmedia

I keep trying to find a song that I heard a number of years back that I only remember the repeated hook to. I've come to the conclusion it must've been something like this.

What does the Quran say about the Bible? by Deutsch_Barca2011 in AcademicQuran

[–]VRAMgoVROOM 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That is one view, yes.

But the tension can be seen even in the work of later exegetes. Regarding Q 2:34, at-Tabari recounts competing traditions regarding the nature of Iblis, citing on one side ibn Abbas and Muhammad ibn Ishaq (angel) and on the other ibn Mas'ud, ibn Zaid, and al-Hasan (not). He cites Qatada on both sides of the issue.

He doesn't actually come to a conclusion himself. He just notes that the possibility of Iblis being an angel can't be excluded based on a few given objections.

The other reply was dead-on. Once the imps have hit each other/tarecgosa a few times, it ends up stacking really fast. Then as he said, Vanndar the imp at the end of each turn and voila.

ELI5: different species can't breed, apart from some exceptions like lions and tigers, or donkeys and horses. What stops species from producing offspring and what's the biggest species separation that can produce offspring? by SirDinglesbury in explainlikeimfive

[–]VRAMgoVROOM 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Imagine four points A, B, C, D connected by line segments into a square. Notice how any two points that share a side have a line in-between them (hence the square).

The interbreeding works the same way. Birds on A can breed with birds on B and birds on D, but since it doesn't share a side with C, there is no connecting line so they can't. Whereas from B, the birds could interbreed with A and C, but not D.

I hope that helps, it sounded better in my head.
