The is a lack of curiosity because there is no evidence. Microwave energy has been found many times to be directed at embassies (such as the Moscow signal), but it wouldn't be any form of weapon. Such transmissions would likely be RF p

As someone who has take MDMA many times in the past I very sceptical about it's therapeutic value in treating PTSD. The high is incredible, but that comes with a comedown of the opposite feelings; including depression, anxiety, fatigue

I'm really sceptical about the idea of treating people with mental heal issues with MDMA, as the "comedown" from it can be horrendous and causes a period low mood, depression, fatigue, anxiety, etc. Not the kind of thing you

That's how insurance underwriting works anyway, as gender, age, car model ect are all used to calculate a premium based on risk. In the UK you can have a "black box" fitted to your car by insurance companies, where low risk d

It's not really about equality, as no one is complaining about men doing the most dangerous and laborious jobs, as mining, forestry, saturation diving etc. According to most reports, men are more than 20 times more likely to die at wor

I work for a big UK supermarket as a developer working on their self checkout software. The tills have better specs than you would expect, as they are running 30 or so containers using Docker. They are not cheap!

Container ships use in the region of 150 to 250 metric tons of fuel per day, so $75,000 to $125,000 in fuel alone.

You can own guns in the UK, but few people do as there is no need. There is a shooting range no far from me, but it's simply not poplar here. I guess that why the US has approximately 160 times the gun death rate of the UK!

There are many places in the US where the groundwater is contaminated by industrial pollutants, even if it is within the safety limits that have been set. I assume many people think bottled water is safer.

It's misleading to say that death by hypoxia is experimental, as many people have died from that. At least this method of execution has very little chance of being botched, although I'm sure many people will argue that it is too h
