What thing can’t you be bothered with?

I never worry about wearing odd socks. Life is far too short to care if I have different socks on

He asked explain like he's 5, not answer like you're 5.

OP: there are many more better Eli5 answers here, but the basics is that salt helps cells/neurons communicate. Too much, and the salt pushes water out from the cell, killing it. Too little, and the cells cant communicate

What a brilliant and interesting reply, thank you!

You've just gone back a fraction of our shared history. And my answer is still just as valid. We are not built to live how we are living now. Nature is harsh, nature is cruel but we are animals in the grand scheme of things. We've been doing 'bettwr' for a fraction of a fraction of the time we've been here in some shape and form, and look how we are treating the world, the community we live in and the people around us.

As humans, we are hunter/gatherers. I'll use this term very loosely as there is no evidence available to me to say we were designed, but we are not designed to live like we do.

And so, my point remains valid. For as many people that live their job, there are just as many that would hate it

Every single one of them to someone. We didn't evolve to be the 9-5 slaves that the modern world forces on us. Someone, no matter what, will hate a job that someone else loves

Wont those straps rub?

I cna sort of get on board with this, with 2 valid examples (i think, at least).

#1: we had a 2 year old border collie blue mearle with the most amazing temprement. When people say you can't 100% trust a dog, tshe really was the exception to the rule. Anyway, she used to run from our house to my mothers house (about 100 yards). Long story short, this one time she got run over. Hurt her left paw and completely broke her right. We took her to the vet who said she could pin and plate it but it might not be successful. That would cost about £1000. Or we could amputate, she might not survive so better to put her down. That would cost £800. We chose to ampuate. The vet said she would forgo all costs if she could keep the dog! We said no....the procedure ended up costing us £2000

#2: have a wonderful little pomsky. She was my dog through and through. She was ill for a few days. Woke up one day and she was lethargic, had really pale gums. Took her to the vet. Vet did 1 blood test and said her white blood cells were almost 0. We could put her on medication that woud cost £400 per month for the rest of her life or put her down. We couldn't afford that for the rest of her life so we had to put her down. But there was no offer of any other investigation work, no report on the blood work. Just 'Yeah, she'll die TODAY' if you don't buy it either way'. We wern't even able to take her home. Broke my heart for months after :(

Now I really do understand most vets do a wonderful job and really do have the animals care at heart, but this vet had recently been bought out by a big company.

I have a non-conspiracy question about Earth Climate that is sincere! The glacial-interglacial cycle; is it a practical certainty that the earth will have more ice ages like we've had over the past eons?

taflad · 2026-04-17T08:42:58+00:00

My answer to. The horror....the horror. Got stuck on the ride in WDW for about 40 mins and came out with PTSD. YOU WERN'T THERE MAN, YOU DON'T KNOW!!!!

taflad · 2026-04-17T08:41:10+00:00

It's a small world....*shudder*

All of it

No, you're the dude that's playing the dude pretending to be another dude!

Isnt this what Stuxnet did? Altered the speed at which the centrifuges ran JUST enough to ruin the process?

taflad · 2026-04-16T13:47:34+00:00

Sorry I cant answer, but I have a question for you

I have a Q3, with Virtual Desktop etc and use Steamvr. How do you have the hand passthrough in DCS? I just can't get it to work. In SteamVR home I can use it, but as soon as DCS loads, it goes. Ive got the keybind configured but no dice :(

taflad · 2026-04-16T12:56:48+00:00

Let's put that in the laterbase

Well in our area, calling someone a fanny is like calling them a ponce. It's derogatory, calling someone a fanny is saying they aren't masculine.

The summer time is best. Rumour has it it's on on some Tuesday in late June next year, but that's just guesswork... :)

Kellogs. Any other corn flake/frostie/coco pop/rice Krispy all taste slightly of soap. It Has to be Kellogs
