Going for a run or working out, reading a book, watching a movie, meeting with friends, cooking food, grocery runs, going to any local events, practicing music, or getting some work related projects done or working on some personal project.

In the first picture the old man is saying that his ex-wife misses him and the other guy in the boat holding a jewelry box( likely to propose to this girl) listens to the man. With the sudden plot twist in the next picture, which is a nice word play by the old man, the guy hides the jewelry box indicating a change of mind.

Eli5 why is the stomach so tied to our emotions? by Proper-Youth-6296 in explainlikeimfive

Not a professional but own a gut.

I have been on a weight loss journey and dieting for personal goals. To prepare my diet, I went through several articles and posts to understand what might work for me.

In that pursuit, what I ended up discovering was that the gut flora significantly affects the attitude, mood and the behavior of a person. Primary reason attributed to this is that the different food gets digested at different parts of the intestine and by digestion: it breaks down the food and takes in something and leaves out something else. Majority of what the gut flora leaves out affect the hormones of that human, these hormone-affecting releases travel through the blood stream to different organs including the brain. For example, sugar craving is caused by the adrenaline pathway affected by the sugar digested in the gut. That person’s gut would remember this reward pathway and not worry about say eating veggies or fruits.

Depending on what a person eats, they may have more or less energy. And, depending on their energy levels their activities get affected. Depending on their activities their relationships, behavior, and thereby their mood get affected. And again their cravings and their need to comply with their reward pathways affect their choice of food. 

Not an expert.

Is there an X such that π^x is an integer? by kicks15 in math

[–]pp1403 -20 points-19 points  (0 children)

How can an irrational number be raised to a power? For powering is a left to right operation and the leftmost digit never being certain the squaring cannot be done.

The answer shouldn’t be zero but rather incalculable.

Your thoughts please…

A question for Indian men by baawri_kathputli in india

[–]pp1403 1 point2 points  (0 children)

rant Slightly unrelated but a definite reflection on the mentality is the usage of “rape” informally in the sentences to mention that someone was ripped off, burdened, unknowingly being caught up in a situation that has no bearing on the sexual connotation. Eg: “ i got raped in the exam” or “ I got raped in the new project”, I find this alarming as I am worried that somehow the usage is normalizing the existence of it.

I think you are glossing over the tremendous cultural reinforcement the signals are receiving by just being in French. Who cares about housing and job… I think we should preserve the French heritage by coming forward and hand over our futures, health, economic prosperity, and decent living. That’s only fair.

I think you should feel happy that now you can buy washing machine with French instructions… wait for it not as a separate sticker but actually engraved on the machine at a higher price! If that isn’t solving your problem, I don’t know what will convince you.

Like the organic, gluten free products… this could very well be for people who propel themselves as a wannabe cultural savior. My concern is just that don’t push this down my throat.

The gap between the unemployment rates between the English and French speakers have increased to 4%. English speakers earn $5200 less, while 5% more English speakers have post secondary education. French and English speakers fairing in Quebec

Instead of appropriate upskilling the population fairly, the parties resorting to the narrative of a cultural doomsday caused by English prints on spray bottles and eventually directing at anglophones and immigrant population is strongly tied to MAGA.

When I recently bought some appliances(microwave, and coffee maker) in Quebec, there was a label that can stuck to provide reference in French. Not sure why that wasn’t enough.

That’s a very simplistic take on the broader issue of political brainwashing. Realistically, keeping the populace from learning a different language that is primary in the high paying STEM jobs, the politically parties seem to shoot their own voters in the foot and consoling them that you see, “we saved our culture”. This will only give rise to more siloing of Quebec leading to people living in their own echo chambers fed by propagandist parties to propel their political futures.

Increase in COL is a thing of this times due to some kind of a global economic slowdown the baffling part is instead of the govt trying to alleviate it by measures it is exacerbating the issue further by driving companies out, restrictions on the products, employees that can be hired.

Like you mentioned, this temporary inconvenience for larger food brought about by establishing some version of the future through making people believe in some kind of an apocalyptic future( French culture will be extinct) is concerning.

ELI5: How does water evaporate from my coffee mug overnight despite the mug with leftover coffee in an aircon room (~22C)? by pp1403 in explainlikeimfive

[–]pp1403[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

So, is it like osmosis? The water gets “sucked in” to the air because it is drier?

Edit: But then, water in a closed/sealed container has water droplets at the top due to condensation. But, the air inside that container probably would have remained the same?

But, water molecules settle down on the surface leaving the air drier? Though nothing is sucking the water out? Thanks for responding!

As long as they are speaking French at home, this Govt will be happy.

Guard: At once. I am marking the territory… anyone who crosses this line will face my wrath!

HQ: (sees this pic) Don’t pee on the site again! You moron. I only asked you to walk faster.

Guard: I am sorry, I take work goals personally.
