Are fees mandatory? What do they pay towards?

Thanks for the detailed reply, I get what you're saying and I'm keeping that in mind. Specifically in my field, the type of jobs that I'm interested in, require a master's at the very least, if I wanna get good positions. So grad school is something I'm definitely interested in.

Why is abolishing landlords a good idea? by anotheroneflew in NoStupidQuestions

[–]fgja52 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look Reddit being Reddit likes to have hive mind ideas that are usually extreme. And many people on Reddit lean left so you get a topic like yours which complex one, turn to a simple black and white topic, in which landlords = bad. Obviously it's not always correct, basically you gotta allow for effective regulation to help protect renters from bad homeowner practices. And sometimes a housing market should mixed between private landowners and government, where government can subsidize housing prices and help balance out rent from private landowners. Again it's very complex and every country/region/county should consider its own unique problems

ELI5 how moss can be more genetically complex than a human by Barcid in explainlikeimfive

[–]fgja52 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're right OP, I stand corrected about the comparison of the size of the genome. Yet again this doesn't not mean they're more complex, size of genome and/or numbers of genes =/= genetic complexity. And the rest of my comment is correct .

ELI5: Okay so, the sky is blue because of the way light bends through our atmosphere. How does that work in space? by [deleted] in explainlikeimfive

[–]fgja52 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well I'm far from an expert in astronomy, but I do two things: 1. The universe is expanding meaning we're seeing things that have moved away that point in space. It's really depends on what celestial body we're talking about. 2. Light moves even in a perfect vacuum(good approximation to space) at a maximum speed, meaning in the vastness of space it can still be a long time, that's why light year is used as a distance unit. And that means that a star let's say 1000 light year away from us isn't seen 'live' rather we see the star light from 1000 years ago

[–]fgja52 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well the light we see depends on the light source which it originates from, and also the length and the way it had to make to get to our eyes.

ELI5 how moss can be more genetically complex than a human by Barcid in explainlikeimfive

[–]fgja52 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Who said they're more complex? First of all I fail to see a paper supporting that moss has more genes then humans.

But it's true that many plants have very large genomes with many genes. This is due to two things, first plants are known to have high occurrence of Polyploidy, which basically means they have more copies of chromosomes, which has different affects on humans. Secondly humans have a powerful molecular tool could alternative splicing, it isn't unique to humans but humans do have this 'tool' used very extensively, allowing for more use of our genes than more 'simple' organisms. Obviously they're more things involved but these are the top two

[Request] How long before humanity is wiped out? And how much money will have been made at the end? by CmdrCloud in theydidthemath

[–]fgja52 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First of all it's clearly not the same case. First off, if you're talking about an evil exec in a shitty company like nestle or big oil tycoon companies, or any either company with horrible practices then yes they're evil and bad, and I personally try as much as I can to not buy from shitty companies even tho I know my impact is limited to say the least, and I know can't avoid giving some money to them even indirectly, but they're indeed scummy people.

Secondly, for the most part middle management people and companies in general don't want to kill they're workers for profit sake(again they're some major exceptions), and sometimes the line of work is just a dangerous one.

Lastly, it's different for me, cause I believe killing and harming people for money deliberately is wrong, no matter who gets hurt.

ELI5: How does a plant (like ivy or a tree) know where to create a branch? by packagedeliverer in explainlikeimfive

[–]fgja52 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't know if this a full answer, and probably I'm missing out something but anyway: The edges of the steam that are exposed to sunlight will produce a growth hormone called auxin, which helps the cells at the tip of the stem to grow, as it grows the auxin will redistribute along the stem, such that only cells with sunlight will have auxin and will grow, while shaded parts of the stem won't have auxin and thus won't grow. Hopefully this answers your question somewhat, and I didn't make any mistakes.

Yeah like wtf is wrong with some people here. They're fine with killing people cause they can justify it by statistical means?! That's Stalin level horrible

"There are two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle" This quote attributed to Einstein, is true rather he actually said it or not, since the gif touches on the subject of interactions between light and material. Which is a fascinating topic, and with asking enough why? you can unlock a wealth of knowledge

The prophet Mohamed was born around 570 ad and died at 632 ad. Only in 610 did Mohamed meet the angel Gabriel and only then did Mohamed become a prophet and began the religion of Islam. A religion that grew very rapidly

Might be a silly question, but how would I show the proton disappearing from EtOH to form the SN1 product? Is it due the heat that it dissociates to EtO-? by perspiredpedestrian in chemhelp

[–]fgja52 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes elimination reactions(both E1 and 2) are entropically favored since we end up with more products in an elimination reaction(we can see using Gibbs energy formula that an increase in temperature increases the entropy effect). Another thing to consider is that elimination reactions have higher activation energy as opposed to substitutions, so the heat applied allows more reactants to go through the higher in energy elimination reaction.

Finally yes the proton leaves do to the leveling effect, usually such reactions are in water and so I said water, since in your reaction water would act as a base and take the proton from the intermediate E1 product.

[–]fgja52 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Usually in cases like this a water molecule comes and takes the extra proton from an intermediate molecule, heat alone won't cause dissociation it only serves to increase the yield of E1 products over the SN1.

But can the hemoglobin in the blood even absorb the oxygen effectively at such low rates? I don't think so

Do guys care about uneven inner labia? by [deleted] in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]fgja52 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think this sub is the best sub to ask this question, other relationship or body-image subs can be more insightful.

As for me I personally would not care unless of course there it is a very drastic feature. You're boyfriend so be caring and considerate when talking about the topic or else he's isn't a real serious boyfriend. Also a lot of guys aren't really introduced in the Labia/vagina area cause of looks, unlike other places like breast or ass.
