People develop drinking problems for two reasons, they have a genetic predisposition to getting more reward from drinking and/or they have untreated trauma that they are medicating. In my family, my grandfathers war trauma was transfer

I also think there is an education gap. People grow up eating processed food and don't learn to cook. People often try to cook, but online recipes are not really teaching you anything and are often far more work than they need to be or

Food quality and options vary significantly with location in the US. In my city I have a Gucci market that gets super fresh veggies and fruit, along with imported cheeses, fish, very fresh meats, and other low processed food, but at a premi

In general, chefs, and anyone who works in the kitchen, are severally underpaid for the skill and amount of work the job takes. It's long hours in a hot, cramped, very high stress environment for peanuts. Not to mention the terrible ho

I used to work with deep sea ROVs. We also found geometric hole patterns in rocks. Much smaller than these. It's truly weird to find.

This is one of the reasons metal roofs a nice, they reflect heat and you don't need to paint them white, they make special paints for metal roofs that help reflect the heat and also look nice.

One issue is that they don't keep writers and show runners around. Each season gets new writers so any magic there was in season one of lost in season two. The tone is the same but you lose something when you bring on me people. The do

I was literally just talking to a SPAC CEO last weekend that was in a deal with Goldman that got dropped by them. Apparently, there are regulations coming down from the SEC and Goldman didn't want to deal with them and/or the regu

As far as I understand it R is not a rate because it does not include time. Diseases that take on average a few days for you to pass on verses a few months will have different growth rates. For example, an STI might have an R factor of 3, b

It's how battles have been won for thousands of years. The two army's approach each other and take minor casualties until one sides moral collapses, they break, and route. 90% of the deaths happened after the route.

I look at biology as the results of a billion years of tinkering (evolution) as apposed to an engineer sitting down and designing something from the ground up. DNA is like a massive code base that has been modified for billions of years wit

I'm sorry that your mother had to go through that. My partner is a neurologist and she hates having to give an ALS diagnosis. It fills her with dread when symptoms align with a possible ALS diagnosis. If she doesn't have a conclus

There are many perks to living outside of the city. You can have twice the house for 1/3 the cost. It's much quieter. There are hobbies and activities that are only available outside of the city. Of course, if you are single, it&#

> And its these chips that have the precision that bugs you so. I never said it bugs me. I own a Citizen solar powered watch. I also own a mechanical watch and a smart watch. I would probably by a GPS synced watch. I stand by my comment

I'm a big fan of Hamilton watches. I like the simple design and the one I have is amazingly accurate, like within seconds of NTP over weeks when the weather and temperature are ideal. They definitely don't break the bank.

A lot of it comes down to the individual State incentives. My co-worker put in a system on his house and at the time the incentive was that you sold all of your power back to the grid at a fixed rate that was higher than what you would norm

I think a lot of this has to do with what people develop with. If they are a vim person then typing long names is annoying, but if they use any type of IDE, the autocomplete removes that hassle and the benefits of having a clearer naming co

I don't think geysers really exist under the sea. The pressure would keep steam from forming and therefore stop a pressure build up. Every geothermal feature I have seen under the ocean has been a steady stream of superheated fluid. As
