Why shouldn't you pinch your nose when sneezing? | Because the pressure from the sneeze has to go somewhere. If you hold your mouth closed and pinch your nose when you sneeze, two things will happen:
The pressure from your sneeze will travel via your Eustachian tubes, and blow out your ear-drumsThe pressure will make your eyes pop out of their sockets.
Actually, I don’t know if either of these are factually correct, as I haven’t tried and I don’t know anyone dumb enough to try. But be my guest. Come back to us with your findings.

Can you write something that will make me feel the true size of infinity? | As far as we can tell, the known universe is 13 billion years old. Mind you that is as far as we’ve been able to see. The number of galaxies in the universe is greater than the grains of sand on all earths beaches. A mole of any given compound is 6.02X10^23 atoms. There are trillions of atoms in a grain of sand. All of the atoms of all the grains of sand of all the galaxies in the universe are an infinitesimal amount compared to “infinity”.

How would you create a map of a cave system, that has numerous branches and overlapping elevations like an anthill, that can be printed on paper and is useful for navigation? | Cave mapping larger systems is an intensive effort. Modern cavers use compasses, hand-drawn sketches on paper or tablets, and laser distance and inclinometer measuring devices. They use the range finders to measure the distance between selected points throughout the cave passage—the result is a line plot, an imaginary line running throughout the entire cave. We also take frequent measurements from that line to the walls, floor, and ceiling. The sketcher draws the shape of the passage, taking those measurements into account.
Later, sketches and measurements are then entered into computer programs to create the final product. Map making is an art with established symbology; cavers enter map contests every year at the NSS (caves.org).
Derek Bristol's educational cave videos explain better than I could! Check out this video made by a prolific cave surveyor:

Why don’t humans land in an asteroid or meteor and use it to travel further into space? We could use it to go to places like Mars. | Landing on an asteroid outside the asteroid belt would be an extremely difficult task. Since the Asteroid belt orbits between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter, it would be more difficult to reach an asteroid than landing on Mars. That’s probably why we are not doing that. Apart from there being no advantage to staging on an asteroid, of course.

What are your NBA All-Decade Teams, and which team would beat everyone else in a hypothetical match-up? | Below are my all decade teams from the 1960s through the 1990s. I did not include the 1950s team because I did not think it would be competitive with the other decades. I did not include the teams in the 21st century because I haven’t followed them as closely. While I agree that the overall quality of play is better today than in earlier decades, that doesn’t mean that there were not individual superstars of those eras every bit as good as the stars of today.
I have seen every player in their prime, so I have that perspective. Following the examples of other responders, I have listed 5 players for each decade. It would have been preferable to have listed 10 players for each decade so we had a complete team, but I followed the examples of the others. I may add a second unit later.
Also, consistent with one of the other responders, I restricted every player to only one decade. I notice that one poster fudged and put LeBron in for both the decades of the 21st century. I agree that he may have deserved a position in each of the two decades, but that is cheating a little (lol). I could have put Jordan and K. Malone is for both the 80s and 90s, but included them only in the 90s team.
Here are a few observations:
1. Best offensive team- 1960s. Every one of the 5 players had averaged 30+ ppg.
2. Best defensive team- 1990s. Every one of...

Will it be a cake walk for the SP, BSP alliance to win the Uttar Pradesh election? What will be the position for BJP and Congress? | Not really. SP and BSP along with RLD has vote percentage of 22.2+22.0+1.8 =46.00% as against 39.7% of BJP as per the 2017 State legislative elections which is a good 6.3% lead haven't considered 1% of Apna Dal which will bring down this difference to 5.3%. However state elections are different from national elections. If last Loksabha elections is considerd then then BJP got 42.3% where as SP BSP got 22.2% and 19.6% ie total 41.8%. So it will be a tough fight between the SP BSP alliance and BJP.
The catch here is in politics the simple arithmetic won't work. SP and BSP are major players in UP wherein at all constituencies they are rivals along with the BJP. So if they decide to contest together it's sure that ther will be discontent within the party. These parties are not in power and will stay out of power in state atleast till 2022, hence giving a fancy post or vidhan Parishad seat or something like that will not be possible. This disgruntled leaders will either join BJP/Congress or fight as independent and in the worst case say away from campain and wont promote the candidates. This is expected to happen at more than 50% Seats. As the difference in vote share is just 5/6% loosing these votes will reduce the difference.
SP was ruling UP till 2017. Last BSP ruled UP was between 2007-12. As BSP has been out of power for more than half decade it has affected the morale of the party workers as well as the voters. That's the reason why in last couple of years many local Dalit parties have cropped up. Similarly SP has been out of power for 2 years now and another 3 years to go for change at state level as next elections are due only in 2022. Additionally SP has seen a fraction breaking away, Pragatisheel Samajwadi Party (Lohia) of Shivpal Yadav. These two factors will do harm to SP BSP alliance.
And finally if SP/BSP will go solo without INC it will be a face less side where as it will be contesting a strong face of Modi. The Modi magic is still more than Akhilesh and Maya magic. Hence it is in no way going to be a cake walk for any one.

When Jordan annexed the West Bank was there any Palestinian resistance against Jordanian rule? Was the Jordanian administration formally legalized? | According to Article 24 of the [LINKED_TEXT: Palestine National Charter of 1964] [URL: https://web.archive.org/web/20101130144018/http://www.un.int/wcm/content/site/palestine/pid/12363], Jordan was a legitimate ruler over Judea and Samaria (as well as Egypt was over the Gaza Strip).
The status only changed once Israel took control over those areas.
You may want to search Google for [LINKED_TEXT: 1963 national geographic map holy land] [URL: https://www.google.com/search?rlz=1C1CHBF_enCA853CA853&biw=2048&bih=1010&q=1963%20national%20geographic%20map%20holy%20land&tbm=isch&source=univ&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjSzse8tvbjAhWKZ80KHdl0B6YQsAR6BAgJEAE] and hover over Judea, Samaria, and Gaza, to see that there was no claim of “Palestinian territories” over those areas.
EDIT: Israel still applies Jordanian law to the civil administration of Judea and Samaria.

What is the difference between Rangers and airborne divisions? | Airborne just means you've jumped out of a plane 5 times or more, it's an individual qualification. An airborne *division* includes some people who never have and never will jump, but that's another matter. Airborne school comes before ranger school and is typically a general/assumed requirement. Ranger school itself is a lot longer and involves quite a bit more than being able to fall out of a plane and probably not die. (And yes, you *fall* out of the plane, you don't jump unless you want to drastically increase the odds of injury or death)
To put it another way, you could say that everyone in an airborne division has at least seen a car and the vast majority of them have driven one. A ranger has been in actual races like nascar or better or has at least been trained and tested to qualify for the attempt. Special forces is another matter, they know how to function as a small team of about 12 people with the skills to put a bunch of civillians to work mining and smelting and forming the metal needed to engineer and build the cars and the track for the race. While they're doing that, a bunch of others are brewing tons of beer and a few are secretly distilling liquor to smuggle into the place on race day. While those people doing all that stuff have a few hours off here and there, they zoom off to all the other villages to hand out tickets to the race.
Another way of putting it is that being in an airborne unit is like having eaten at mcdonald's. Being a ranger is like having worked in one. Being special forces is like you've built at least one from the ground up, probably more like four of them, and you own them. Task force delta is a little different. They're more like a customer who can walk in and just buy the whole damned place, even if the owner doesn't want to sell.

What are the key characteristics of a lean system? | There are several. I'll point out a few.
The goal is to produce (in a factory. For a service company this would be different) your parts in a single piece flow. This means no inventory and no (minimal) buffers between production stages. This goal requires several things to be aligned.
Each process step would need to require the same amount of time, or you would need multiple parallel processes so that the effective process time would be halved. When each process has a different process time, you will automatically create buffers. There are many reasons to work towards a single piece flow, but one of the most important ones is to make problems visible. And problems is what you want to see and address.
Now comes the most important part that is almost always overlooked. You want your people on the work floor to show and address the problems. This means that they need to learn how to analyse the problems and to come up with ideas to address them. In many companies this is done by e.g. adding buffers, but that's not the right way as it removes you from the single piece flow. People need to be able to experiment with different ideas which will ONLY work if they are allowed to make mistakes in the process. This means that you need a culture with psychological safety. And that is what is missing in many companies.
When people are judged by errors and hitting the numbers, no-one will come forward with problems and they will certainly not invest time to analyse the problem. Their goal is to hide errors and to continue producing to make the numbers.

Hi..I was driving in Dubai. Traffic signal was turning yellow. I stopped the car but the front tyres just crossed the whiteline.I took reverse and came inside the line. By the time signal turned red. Will they impose fine / black points in this case? | No matter the situation, it is always important to follow the law.
In the situation you mention, if the front tyres of your vehicle crossed the line before the signal turned red, the chances of being fined are unlikely.
However, it is best to err on the side of caution and to always drive according to the laws in the area.
This will ensure that you stay safe and abide by local laws.

What are the rules of cooking in clay pots? What are it's pros and cons? | There are no specific rules for clay cooking and any chef would be more happy to have this as a cooking material. If you are an enthusiastic cooker and an equally enthusiastic environmentalist, then you probably know all about pure clay cookware, which has been receiving appreciations from the cooking for a good number of years.
Pros of pure clay pots
Pure clay is inert, which means it won't react with your food. Even if that wasn't the case, clay is filled with nutrients like magnesium and calcium, as opposed to toxins and chemicals like metal cookware. None of that will ever leach into your food of you use clay pots. They're also unglazed, the pure clay ones, which is another health benefit. Additionally, the lid of the pot is not letting the steam evaporate, thus losing all essential vitamins and nutrients from the food you're cooking. Instead, all steam is sent back into the food, making it not only a lot more delicious, but richer in nutrients.
Apart from the fact that clay cooking is healthier for us, it's also healthier for the environment. First, the clay is not mined, so the land is not stripped or damaged in any way, Secondly, manufacturing clay pots boils down to hard working potters throwing them on the wheel, so not much energy or resources are wasted in the process. Last, but not least, they can last you a lifetime, but even if they don't, they're 100% biodegradable.
Cooking in clay also involves using little to no fat or oil. The vessels are non-stick because of all the steam being kept inside and the food releasing its own, natural juices. It works great for vegans, but anyone should enjoy food without any fats and oils.
Now, as far as convenience goes, clay cookware is quite versatile. This means you can use the same pot to make tons of dishes, whether they are cooked in the oven or on stove-top. You can bake, grill, fry, braise, whatever you want with the same clay pot.
Pros of clay pots
The only disadvantage of clay cookware is that it can get a little pricey. If you're going for the 100 % pure clay, unglazed, real thing, which you definitely should, then you can expect to pay a substantial price. You can use these pots for decades provided of course that you take care of them properly. They're truly the best cookware on the market.

How do police arrest large, aggressive men? For the sake of discussion, let's say you have a domestic violence/alcohol call, and you are told that the man is a former heavyweight boxer. | My law enforcement activities while in the USCG were largely limited to dealing with drug runners, recalcitrant tug boat captains and crews and drunken commercial fisherman. In addition to Maglites and Things That Go Bang, we carried this lovely spray called “Curb 60,” which as it turns out is Hell when sprayed in a small, enclosed space. Just make sure you drag your boarding partner out of the dog pile first. You can return for the drunk and recalcitrant at your leisure.

How did algorithms predicting Hillary Clinton’s landslide victory in the 2016 Presidential Election get their prediction so wrong? | The same way the algorithms failed when they predicted Mortgage Tranches could not fail and we entered the greatest Banking crisis in World History.

Do all entrepreneurs need an outside investor? | No. There are multiple levels of investors. The most common are
3Fs. That’s friends, family, and fools. These are the people closest to you that can stake you initially, but probably don’t have much money.Angels. These are outside investors that are typically rich individuals that have an emotional attachment to the business/idea and want to see the company succeed.VCs. These guys are professional investors.
of these, the 3 fs are you inside investors. The rest are clearly outside investors. If you can get off the ground with a few dollars, then the you may only need the 3Fs. Otherwise, you need more investment and more money. Why? Because people don’t work for free. It’s a noble idea, but just stop with it.

What is the necessary term for a personal loan? | Lenders usually offer a flexible loan repayment tenure ranging from 12 to 60 months. You can choose a term that best suits your current financial stability. You can select a –
Shorter tenure resulting in a higher EMI iif your monthly income is high and you can manage the amount. The advantage is that your total interest payable over loan tenure as a result will be lower.Longer tenure resulting in lower EMI thereby making the loan more comfortable in your budget. . However, your total interest payable over loan tenure as a result will be higher.
However, prior to settling for a loan tenure, make sure that you use the personal loan calculator to compute the instalments. This requires you to enter a few essential details like small loan amount, personal loan interest rates, and then change the tenure as per your convenience. It will help you arrive upon a term that best suits your repayment capability.

Do British people wholeheartedly agree with Suella Braverman when she said “Boris Johnson is one of the greatest prime ministers ever”? | Someone I don't think is fit for the office she holds thinks that someone else who wasn't fit for the office he held was the best at it: why should I give a damn about this?

|
Have the Democrats ever been as far to the left as they are in the 2019/2020 election cycle? | Yes, after the Great Depression american confidence in our economic system was so tarnished that FDR’s socialistic recovery remedies saved capitalism.

Do you know of a good sci-fi novel with an uploaded human mind or an AI as a main character? | When HARLIE Was One, by David Gerrold.
|
Has there ever been a thesis in history that discovered something completely different from what the researcher intended to find? | First of all you may mean hypothesis. By the time something is a theory it already has supporting data behind it. In any case, it happens all the time. If you want an example that is right in your face for much of the population let’s look at the statin market. Pfizer’s Lipitor (atorvastatin) was a leader amongst about a dozen statins, but not totally dominant. One of their competitors hypothesized that their statin was more effective at preventing heart attacks than other statins. So they ran a trial to prove their hypothesis. When the results came back they had proven that Lipitor, not their drug, was the most effective at preventing heart attacks. That instantly made Lipitor the dominant statin, because how could a doctor or insurance company favor a drug that was less effective at doing the thing it was most intended to do? Even if another drug was equally as good at reducing LDL cholesterol, or better, unless it did a better job at actually reducing heart attacks why would you use it?
Note: some people are still prescribed other statins because they have worse side effects from atorvastatin, or it doesn’t work as well on them as the general population for reducing cholesterol, or they didn’t have insurance and wanted a cheaper option before the Lipitor patents expired, or…. But overall, if you have high cholesterol you will be put on atorvastatin because someone’s hypothesis about their drug’s superior effectiveness ended up proving that it was atorvastatin that was most effective. Oops.

Whats the craziest thing that's happened to you at work? | I’m a voiceover artist. (Artist is a weird description; I don’t paint or create sculptures. 😂)
One job I had was as the voice of artificial intelligence. The client wanted a voice that could create any and all possible responses from a computer.
The meeting point was a University campus. I was directed to a lone little outhouse. ‘It’s an anechoic chamber,’ said the client.
An anechoic chamber is an utterly soundproof room in which noise doesn’t reverberate. You can’t hear anything outside, and the outside can’t hear you. Everything goes dead, and the silence is deafening and odd. You can hear your own heartbeat. Sometimes, people even lose their balance or start to hallucinate if they’re in there long enough.
As soon as he locked the door behind me, my pulse rate increased. I thought, ‘No one on this campus knows I’m in here, and they can’t hear a sound from inside…not even a chainsaw.’ 😂
As if that wasn’t creepy enough, he then sat me in a wooden chair in front of a microphone and a monitor (all normal so far) but then he tied my wrists to the armrests! Oooh, that’s new.
He explained it was because they wanted no slight movements or increased energy to interfere with the vocals. Everything had to remain even.
Erm…
My mind was scrambling for all the hacks I’d learned from YouTube videos. ‘How to slide out from zip ties etc’
I thought ‘Wow. I’m gonna die on a university campus, in plain sight. A mop and a few bottles of bleach and no one will ever even know there was a murder victim in this chamber.’
But, it turned out to be a legit job. (I had faith in my agent.)
I sat, tied to that chair, for SIX hours (with breaks,) regurgitating every letter, combination of letters, every word, every sentence and inflection known to man. Everything necessary to give AI the capability to utter any sentence under the sun.
By hour five, I found myself wishing I’d just been murdered with a chainsaw.

How do you politely tell your neighbor that they are mowing their grass too short? | you dont. His lawn, his rules. Maybe mind your own lawn. I once had an OCD neighbor tell me to cut in a certain pattern so the rows would line up the way he liked. I responded by cutting in absolutely random ways, on absolutely random days, in patches not in whole. The grass varied from 3 to 5 inches over the lawn for 2 years until he moved out (for unrelated reasons).
|
Why should I like the Dalai Lama? I don’t know a lot about him. | Why dont you read some informative pages about him online, or even a book. That way you can make your own mind up about him.
He was a very inspirational man who had thousands of followers.
Stay Safe Loveleez.Wear ur masks 😷
Peace out,,luv u all 💋💋

What are easy recipes to learn if I don't know how to cook or even prepare basic dishes? | Cooking is an essential life skill that everyone should have. It allows you to take control of your diet, cook healthier meals, save money, and impress your friends and family. If you're new to cooking, it can be a daunting task. However, with a little bit of guidance and practice, you can become a confident and skilled cook in no time.
1. Start with the basics: Before you dive into complex recipes, it's essential to learn the basics. Learn how to boil pasta, cook rice, fry an egg, and make a simple sandwich. These simple tasks will help you develop essential cooking skills, such as sautéing, boiling, and frying.
2. Invest in quality equipment: Cooking is much easier when you have the right tools. Invest in a good set of knives, a cutting board, measuring cups, and spoons, and a few good quality pots and pans. These tools will make cooking much more manageable and enjoyable.
3. Follow recipes: When you're starting, it's best to follow recipes to the letter. Choose recipes that are easy to follow, and don't require too many ingredients or complicated techniques. As you gain confidence, you can start experimenting with your recipes, but it's best to start with the basics.
4. Learn cooking techniques: Cooking is all about techniques. Learn how to sauté, braise, roast, grill, and bake. Each technique requires different cooking methods, and learning them will help you become a more versatile cook.
5. Learn about ingredients: Understanding ingredients is essential for good cooking. Learn about different herbs, spices, oils, and vinegars. Learn how to pair ingredients and how to use them in different dishes.
6. Practice, practice, practice: Like any skill, cooking requires practice. Don't be afraid to make mistakes, and don't be discouraged if your first few attempts don't turn out as expected. Keep practicing, and you'll develop your cooking skills over time.
7. Join a cooking class: If you want to take your cooking to the next level, consider joining a cooking class. Cooking classes allow you to learn from experienced chefs, and they provide an opportunity to try out new recipes and techniques.
8. Watch cooking shows: Watching cooking shows is an excellent way to learn new recipes and techniques. There are many cooking shows available online or on TV, and they provide an excellent source of inspiration and education.
9. Cook with others: Cooking with others is a fun and social way to learn how to cook. Invite friends over for a cooking party, or join a cooking club or group. Cooking with others allows you to share ideas and learn from each other.
10. Have fun: Cooking should be fun and enjoyable. Don't stress too much about getting everything perfect or making the perfect dish. Enjoy the process, and remember that cooking is a skill that takes time and practice to develop.
In conclusion, learning to cook takes time, patience, and practice. Start with the basics, invest in quality equipment, follow recipes, learn cooking techniques, and experiment with ingredients. Join a cooking class, watch cooking shows, cook with others, and most importantly, have fun. With these tips, you'll be on your way to becoming a confident and skilled cook in no time.

I’m doing some restoration work on an old barn. The barn used to be red colored. Is there a specific barn red color that was used in the early 1900s? Why did they use red anyway? | By the early 1900s, red paint was commonly available. In decades prior, it was often made on the farm.
Whatever is bring marketed as ‘barn red' will work well enough. Sometimes you'll see a ‘colonial red', which would also work.
Expect whatever you use to fade rapidly in the sunlight. You may wish to go a tad dark so it fades to what you want after a few years and won't be too pink by the time it's due for a repainting.

Is Hindi language meant to unite Indians or to trigger Indians? | One can’t generalize whether Hindi language is meant to unite Indians or trigger Indians. It is just a truth that we live in a nation named India with known boundaries and those people living in that specific area are Indians. People can seek life anywhere in the nation. And it also happens Hindi is spoken by the majority of the persons in the country. In States like Maharashtra, Gujarat, Odisha etc. they have a local languages. But people in these areas understand Hindi. Even in Bangalore, anyone in the road understands Hindi. The humans have the need to communicate. Why not do the same in the language known to people? Hating the system is not going to help me. Everyone has to live with the system whatever be the way the system is. My opinion is hating Hindi or any language is not going to help me. Finding my way forward is what is important for me. When our country is such that majority of the people know and understand Hindi, better I know speaking Hindi. I can program myself not to be triggered. How people perceive this issue is what matters for them. Politicians are the only persons who benefit by triggering people. Why must we benefit politicians? ‘Work hard and smart in my way forward’ is my motto and not to complain in the system.

Where has Indian media gone wrong? | She is Suchandrima. A journalist from West Bengal, India.
We all know how badly the super cyclone Amphan hit West Bengal and Odisha, the adjacent states of Bay of Bengal. This was possibly the worst storm hit to the state of Bengal in last 300 years. Lakhs of people have lost their last resorts and literally going through the worst time of their life. First the fear of deadly coronavirus, then this terrible terrible cyclone.
And there is the lady, reporting from ground zero. There she is one of the few hopes of Journalism in India.
Now, just don't tell me that REAL JOURNALISM is vanished from our country because you and me are obsessed with some of the PRIME TIME FACES. Your obsession with some news anchors who think that their place is just after the Prime Minister and Home Minister of this country, does not imply that there aren't any professional who are sticking to their primary ethics even at this time. You can be a stern critic or an admirer of those GIGANTIC NOISE MAKERS, but in both cases you are wasting your time on incorrigible beings who are getting PAID for dividing my country in every possible way. Watch those funny edited videos on youtube, laugh and forget. Lets be clear, That is not journalism. This one is.
And I don't care about which news channel she is part of, not interested about which party leader has bought a share of that channel. All I see is an individual who is honest towards her own profession. Also, If you think that this is a publicity stunt, then let it be. If anyone, an org or individual wants to get popular by doing act like this, then we should make them popular.
More power to you; Madam and more power to all of those journalists of this country who are sticking at their basics and giving voice to the voiceless, to the downtrodden, to them whose cry are not being heard by our establishments.
[Note: The team that went to report Amphan victims is from Kolkata TV. The person with the camera in his hand is Kaushik Chatterjee.]

Have you ever found out your kid wasn’t yours by getting a paternity test? If so, what did you do and did you stay in the child’s life? | This kind of scenario did not actually happen to me and a little bit different but my husband had an ex and they’ve been together for 3 yrs so going back when we started our relationship (June 2009) together month after their separation (no formal closure) his ex suddenly made an announcement to his family that she is pregnant (July 2009) and so my agony has begun and my partner confessed that something happened between him and ex etc.. we still continue our relationship despite of the situation and I swallowed all his family’s ill mouthed words and constant bashing towards me since they are strongly in favor of his ex so moving forward the ex girlfriend posted a photo of a newborn april 2010 and his family got excited with so many comments, compliments. They even made the baby boy as their profile picture and met with ex and the baby boy to intentionally hurt me. Fast forward of constant spying, stalking on social media and never-ending social media war December of 2011 I created a dummy account by copying the ex girlfriend’s cousin account and boom! I found out that the boy wasn’t his at all, the baby picture with his true parents during baptism and 1st birthday he also had an electronic invitation all relatives tagged including the nasty ex girlfriend I found out the baby boy is her nephew after all. I exposed all of them on fb the baby boy really looks like his true father! so imagine the emotional damage that my in-laws caused towards me? from 2009 up until now it’s already damaged and i’m not comfy enough to share my life with them. No apologies made from them.
2012 - the sister of ex girlfriend confessed to my bf (now husband) that ex gf had a miscarriage
2014 - we got married and i’m still not comfy with my in laws
From the beginning my husband don’t have any special bond or feeling that he is the father.

Why are Democrats afraid of Christians? | Democrats are not ‘afraid’ of Christians.
REAL ‘Christians’ do NOT inflict blunt force trauma on others with the Cross, that is exactly the opposite of what the Church actually teaches.
Nor do REAL ‘Christians’ attempt to force THEIR religious beliefs down the throats of others via governments or schools (although they feel free to say exactly the same thing about others when others simply seek to live their lives in peace and happiness).
You are free to practice your faith as you see fit. You are NOT, however, permitted to judge me because I am Catholic, because I do not attend YOUR Church, because I do not practice according to your dictates. Nor may you impose your belief on me or my company via your business decisions. Where I attend Church, which Church, and who my circle of friends are, are NOT deciding factors in how I conduct business.
If those are the benchmarks you use to decide where to do business, stay where you are, do not leave your County and do not interact with the rest of the world. We had millennia of of religious oppression in its varying forms, and no longer tolerate that bigotry.
You are NOT the Holy Inquisition, and you never will be.
If you are one of those “Old White Men” trying to superimpose your beliefs (US Supreme Court take note) or preserve your power and control, the sooner you ‘shuffle off this mortal coil’ the better.

Why is the United States so much against the EU? It seems that the current US administration wants to see an end to the EU. | The U.S is against the EU so much because they can not bully them like they do other countries, they can’t hold them over a barrel like they try to do with everyone else.
I heard Trump say on a interview “ the EU don’t want to buy our cars, they don’t want to buy our produce” humm wonder why, perhaps because the EU has decent food standards and the U.S don’t bleach their chicken, which doesn’t go down too well with Europeans…American cars? European cars are far superior in my opinion.

What's it like to have a 150 IQ? Is life easier? What are the advantages you feel you have over others? Are there any disadvantages? | At an IQ of 150. Individuals may share enough in common with peers that socially and emotionally they may still fit in on the surface, but many will feel internally out of synch, as they go through the motions, they are usually socially indifferent and hold back a lot. Children at this IQ level are far ahead of age peers. For example, a chronological six-year-old will be four years ahead intellectually, and a ten-year-old, seven years ahead. This lead is maintained throughout ones’ life.
However a young student of an IQ of 150+ is usually naive to the faulty logic that the majority adopts to run its society. There is the phenomenon of herd behavior and escape panic that such individuals have to get around. The tiring sense of being bogged down by the inertia and lack of understanding and want to understand in people, they just want you to confirm their own prejudiced beliefs to them, garner them “status”. “ I spoke to an IQ 150 today and he agrees that there’s not much truth to the communication barrier.” Obviously it is a matter of not stressing the bandwidth and fidelity of the connection by communicating adequately and not over their heads, it is usually impolite to insist such things, even if they are true.
Our society thinks in labels and roles.
Finally, never be fooled by their education or their talents ...... They don't know how to apply their learning to themselves or others once removed from their roles & labels. Remember. they live and "think" through labels and are incapable of perceiving reality clearly. This means that you can get them to jump through hoops by simply manipulating their labels ...... If you find them doing something which interferes with your plans. simply "throw" them a tasty label and watch them munch their way through it.
I’ve been pointing this out for years, if you recall. But because I don’t think like the less intelligent, I am regularly labeled everything from stupid to “elitist”. In my experience, the 150 IQ individual does not resent the individual with the 160 or the 175 IQ, and this may be because being above 145, we all tend to engage in similar thought processes or more likely possess asymptotically similar values
[LINKED_TEXT: [1]] [URL: #xpsfU], albeit with different capabilities. The 135 IQ individual dislikes and fears the 150+ individuals, while the 115 IQ individual either doesn’t believe the 150+ individuals exist or blithely insists that they are crazy, failures or somehow defective.As Sergio Carvajal said:
1. To pursue credentials in academic institutions, specifically to get hold of (and then flaunt) what they consider to be socially sanctioned proof of their intelligence. These people actually want honorifics, letters after their names and to dress in bat capes at conventions of like-minded people.
2. These people are unoriginal, although appearing creative and original to others is extremely important to them. In the field of literature they become adept at churning out fairly technically proficient pastiche and barely disguised fan-fiction, while they can look convincingly creative to people less intelligent than them.
3. They are very, very aware of the small gap in intellect that exists between themselves and the mean, and this is a significant part of their identity, and they react viciously to any attacks on it. Try to attack credentialism or the university system’s farcical monopoly of all gainful intellectual employment in front of one of these people and witness their reaction. Better yet, just question their intelligence.
4. They have a tendency to worship at the altar of intellectual authority. The idea of an ‘expert’ appeals immensely to these people. They find someone who they consider to be highly intelligent and then delegate all their thinking to that person. This comes with the tendency to wield the wiffle bat of the appeal to authority at every opportunity.
5. Consensus reality as dictated by experts is something they feel compelled to defend. They are frequently people of the system, for the system and in defense of the system. Ironically they tend to see themselves as rugged skeptics when they are incapable of interrogating anything fed to them from the intellectual mainstream.
6. They have no concept of the limits of intellect, or a sense of intellectual humility. Intelligence recognizes that whatever it does know is eclipsed by what it doesn’t know, which leads to both humility and open mindedness. Midwittery tends to focus exclusively on what it knows, and believes that this imparts expertise and authority in unrelated fields (witness Dawkins).
7. They cannot accept anecdotes, people that violate their implicit “rules” about the kind of journey that is required for mature mastery of a demanding field. But the fact of such extraordinary accomplishments must not be denied. It doesn’t alienate them from most others though because of the rarity of the profoundly gifted.
I’d bet that as much as academia would tend to exclude these people, they’re also unlikely to have an interest in being part of academia. Intelligent people want to have intellectual engagement with people of similar intelligence to themselves, and they’re unlikely to find that in the dusty cloisters of academia. Being away from that kind of group environment also allows for unencumbered creativity. Occupation can have a kind of socialization process that 95% of people in the human population cannot resist.
People who work very hard and spend years in order to climb to what they regard as the pinnacle of achievement actively resent those who can simply leap up to the peak. And because their knowledge is hard won, they tend to cling to it much more tenaciously than the more intelligent individual who is no more tied to one piece of information than the next. What makes it worse is that they cannot fathom that the more intelligent individuals do not think like they do.

IQ is so important for intellectual pursuits that eminent scientists in some fields have average IQs around 150 to 160. Since IQ this high only appears in 1/10,000 people or so, it beggars coincidence to believe this represents anything but a very strong filter for IQ (or something correlated with it) in reaching that level. If you saw a group of dozens of people who were 7’0 tall on average, you’d assume it was a basketball team or some other group selected for height, not a bunch of botanists who were all very tall by coincidence.

Is it hypocritical for libertarians to be pro-life? | No, not at all. Abortion is a highly disputed issue among libertarians.
Makes sense too: libertarians are deeply concerned with rights. The question among libertarians is: when do rights begin? Conception? Birth? Somewhere in between? —Somewhere after birth, sometimes people philosophize?
This is a really hard, value-based edge question without objective answer. The boundaries of rights are fuzzy. And libertarians can easily disagree.
For example, I’m generally against abortion. In theory. But it’s really none of my business. I can’t have an abortion.
On the other hand, I do not support laws which try to regulate it and prevent it. Regardless of what I think is “good”, I have no right or interest to use force and coercion (or ask the State to do it on my behalf) to stop anyone from seeking an abortion. I believe in other people’s rights to choose.
—Other libertarians would say, “So long as those choices don’t hurt other people!” And so we begin another round: “Is a fetus a person which holds rights?”
I say no. But others might disagree.
Years ago, I had an office that overlooked a Planned Parenthood clinic across the street. There would very often be several protesters out there, walking up and down the sidewalk for most of the day.
I don’t think they ever convinced anyone to leave.
Sometimes, I would do the mental math: 8 protesters, times 6 hours per day, times $15 per hour… yields about $3,600 per week.
If they valued life, how many children could they subsidize with their wasted time? How many young mothers’ lives would be made easier?
Just things to think about…

What should I consider when selecting a pet-friendly HVAC system for my home? | Choosing a pet-friendly HVAC system is an important decision to ensure the comfort and well-being of both you and your furry friends. When selecting an HVAC system, there are several factors to consider that will cater to the needs of your pets.
First and foremost, it's crucial to choose an HVAC system with efficient air filtration. Pets can shed hair and dander, which can circulate in the air and trigger allergies or respiratory issues. Look for HVAC systems with high-quality filters that can capture pet allergens effectively.
Another consideration is the noise level of the HVAC system. Some pets may be sensitive to loud noises, so opting for a system with quieter operation can help keep them calm and reduce stress.
Temperature control is also essential. Pets are sensitive to extreme temperatures, so selecting an HVAC system that provides precise temperature regulation will help maintain a comfortable environment for your furry friends.
Energy efficiency is another factor to keep in mind. Energy-efficient HVAC systems not only save you money on your utility bills but also minimize your carbon footprint. Look for systems with high energy efficiency ratings to ensure you're being environmentally conscious.
For more detailed information and expert advice on selecting a pet-friendly HVAC system, I recommend checking out the Quora post at [LINKED_TEXT: How to Choose a Pet-Friendly HVAC System] [URL: https://homeimprovementandmaintenanceresourcehub.quora.com/How-to-Choose-a-Pet-Friendly-HVAC-System?ch=10&oid=109737166&share=4b782aed&srid=hE7bzb&target_type=post].

Should we use “audience was/were” clapping? | Audience is a countable noun..
Audience(singular) - a group of people together in a place to watch a film or drama.
‘Audience was watching’.
Audiences(plural) - it doesn't represent a particular group, rather different groups of viewers or spectators together in a place.
‘Audiences were watching’.

x^{2}+y^{2}=2 | The formula that we have to use is
(x + y)^2 = x^2 + y^2 + 2xy.
x + y = 2 ———(1)
x^2 + y^2 = 2 ———(2)
Now,
( x + y )^2 = x^2 + y^2 + 2xy ———(3)
If you substitute Equation (1) in Equation (3), you get Equation (4)
( 2 )^2 = x^2 + y^2 + 2xy
4 = x^2 + y^2 + 2xy ———(4)
If you substitute Equation (2) in Equation (4), you get -
4 = 2 + 2xy
4 - 2 = 2xy
2 = 2xy
1 = xy
Therefore, xy = 1.
Hope this helps. :)

Are open-world video games getting too big for their own good? | Yes. However, I am biased as in my 30 years of gaming I still stick with the classics. Doesn’t mean I don’t have or play any newer games. It’s just that, yes- the newer open world games are too big. I’ve sunken hundreds of hours to look back at how very little story and reason that the game had, filling it to the brim with endless “side missions” (time/life sucks) designed specifically to keep you in that game for as long as possible. I don’t enjoy being tricked by shiny things. I see right through it. You won’t get to experience as many games allowing yourself to be sucked into the same one for 6+ months (that’s a minimum- I know of some people devoting their life to the same ONE game for years, as it is so vast/endless updates) that demands to take over your life. It was cool at first, but now we see it, we know. I just don’t find them that impressive. Just endlessly large and involved, resulting in many sleepless nights for its production team, all for money more than ever before. Many updates to the game, adding new achievements to unlock by way of addictive tedium. Do they want people to enjoy the game or get sucked in and get addicted? Oh look at how real that grass looks. It’s just not important. It can be fun to be immersed in a game that takes a long time and that yes, is at times tedious as it can be a lot of fun… but I feel newer large open world games take this to a new level. You don’t even realize how much time goes by with such little that you’ve actually done. Nowadays creating such a large open world is very popular and expected and what many gamers want, but I don’t feel these games are really games anymore. They are also turning into “movies” that you can play.

What is the Red Hat software engineer internship stipend in India? | This answer is in Indian context:
RedHat do not do their engineering in India hence they do not need interns in India.They only have their IT offices in India.
Internships are not trainings.Internships are offered by private companies to learn to choose highly skilled employees from many job applicants.99% of the internships in India are for computer programmers with an impressive github profile.95% of the Indian engineering students arrange for random cheap industrial training certificates from NIIT/CETPA like shops, when asked for one from their college.[LINKED_TEXT: All about engineering internships and summer/industrial trainings for Indian Btech students !] [URL: https://indianengineeringindustry.quora.com/All-about-engineering-internships-and-summer-industrial-trainings-for-Indian-Btech-students]

What are some things that only electrical and electronics engineers know, but most people don't? | The way the pictures of waveforms drawn in text books. Let's say an antenna is radiating the field. The text books show a sine wave emerging from the antenna. Now how do I imagine that in practice? It's simple…
Have you ever seen a bulb glowing when there is a low power supply? It gets dim and bright.. right? The antennas function in the same way. The fields which are invisible to us get intensified gradually and intensity decreases gradually around the antenna. This forms kind of concentric circles of fields around the antennas(assuming isotropic antennas). Now,
whenever the receiving antenna comes under the influence of this antenna, the required data is transferred depending upon the frequency at which the intensities are changing and the type of encoding.
The first picture depicts fields propagating.
The second picture depicts the pattern of the field.
P.S : Atleast I was under confusion of imagining the sine wave picture beside antenna when it came to practicality. I thought there might be people who are under same thoughts…..

What is happening is the skin and fur is peeling off. The real question is WHY in the world have YOU not gotten expert medical attention for this rabbit to discover the REASON. Get off the computer or whatever and get your pet to a vet. While you’re there, have the vet check the rabbit’s teeth to be sure they are not overgrown, interfering with the rabbit’s ability to eat. He could also be rubbing his head against something in an effort to get OUT.

Dont check them frequently just focus on your profession nd if you really have free time then switch to stocks study books how to analyse stocks read their financial reports nd future prospects of company.

Is the claim that Palestinian ethnicity doesn't exist, and is actually a mix of different Arab nationalities (Jordanian, etc) just a false conspiracy theory? | Jordanian is no more of an “ethnicity” than Palestinians are. Both have been born in the last century. As opposed to Arab countries that have been around for centuries.
So in terms of ethnic background, they are Arab, but in terms of national identity, they are Jordanian or Palestinian - even though there is no political state of Palestine.
Both Jordanians and Palestinians are people with a distinct sense of identity as such. In fact Palestinians who live in Jordan, have done so for 60 years and have jobs and are well integrated into daily life, still do not feel themselves Jordanian but rather Palestinian, and in an article I once read, the author said the Jordanians too differentiate between them. (interview with a second generation Palestinian whose father fled Israel in our War for Independence; she does not call herself a Jordanian and is not regarded as such.)

I keep working out, but I'm not seeing any progress. What do I do? | Self education
Educate yourself more. Read books on dieting, bodybuilding, and training periodization. You can find plenty of free resources online.
A lot of people don’t understand the basic principles of training and dieting and therefore make little progress in the gym. At first, it might seem a lot of information to take in, but you can always filter the information and learn about your body and how to achieve your personal goals.
Hire a personal coach
If you are not the type for reading/studying, then other advice would be to look for a personal trainer.
This option may be a little more costly, but the benefits you will have from having a certified trainer put together a personalized fitness plan for you, is worth it most of the time. Also, the moral support will ensure you show up at your workouts and put in the effort when you are training.

Do it humbly while acknowledging you should have known and the judge might cut you some slack, as in half off. Or you might be able to work the ticket off.
I would appreciate it if you were to never block a hydrant again. Guilt is a heavy price to pay for a parking spot.

What's better, Alibaba or Amazon? | Thanks for A2A.
Amazon and Alibaba are two different ecommerce platform. The former is for B2C, while the other one is for B2B. Many sellers source products from Alibaba with a lower price and then sell the products on Amazon, which is the way they make money from.
Alibaba is based in China, most of the sellers on Alibaba are from China. In that case, you will find sometimes it’s hard to communicate with them. However, the price of products on it are much cheaper, and you must buy with MOQ.
The products on Amazon has been “selected” by the sellers, and Amazon itself pay more attention to brand registry. I think the product quality can be much better than Alibaba.
If you want to know how to buy from Alibaba, you can check my article: [LINKED_TEXT: Alibaba Wholesale: How To Buy From Alibaba - Sellertour] [URL: https://sellertour.com/how-to-buy-from-alibaba/]
