    Here in the UK the trend now is to use stronger plastic bags that are more easily reusable as opposed to cloth. We have several in a drawer at home, and I keep one in my rucksack a…

    Mind if I ask how old these friends are? This seems like more of a general age thing. I'm 26 and wouldn't even begin to compare watching a concert on Youtube to actually being ther…

    Yep, he basically says that he knew the only thing that would damage his eyes would be UV-B, so he just went for it. Long time since I read the book but that's what I remember.

    Yeah, I'm wondering how it should work when you say the wake word too. Like if I say "Sister Assumpta, what's the weather like?" is it just going to repeat the same command but rep…

    Also this would probably end up with a high majority remain vote, since the leave voters would be split between options A and B. Similar to the issues with First Past the Post.

    I believe this approach is also present in the UK where the patient isn't paying for their treatment directly. So I doubt it is to do with making money.

    Spreading behaviour is so important. Which means it's important to make it "cool" to be environmentally conscious. I think people sometimes underestimate the cool factor when it co…

    But I can't turn my smartglasses around and show someone the memes I'm looking at. I don't see how it could replace my phone. Compliment perhaps, but having used Google Glass Enter…

    Are you sure of this? I would find that surprising. Is there some market research somewhere that points to this?

    Not sure what the question is here. But the article points to veganism on it's own not inherently being the best option. That there are definitely ways to be sustainably vegan, but…

    Not sure if you've read the article. The point he's making is that sustainable farming doesn't share all of the downsides of veganism, soil degradation for instance.

    I find it amusing that you call out OP for not providing a citation but then list a bunch of examples of things many people eat also without citation!

    Yes but this article is about grazing livestock, not soya/corn fed livestock.

    I think the big reason that Magic never ramped up so much is because of the fact that it's a physical pack. You can only buy however much is in stock (at most) and even when you or…

    What does "gyp" mean? I googled it but I feel like I'm missing something.

    The claim being made is that 7% of his DNA changed, not his genes.

    My experience with this is related to music, but since software engineering is similarly flexible with regards to qualifications, I'm sure it could apply. I'm totally self-taught i…

    Are you comparing the turnaround time for construction of a fission plant vs a fusion plant? (If this article's idea of 15 years is to be believed)

    Anecdotal, I know, but even if astronomers were consulted about this, I know a few astronomers whom this doesn't bother whatsoever, so it might not necessarily have ever been flagg…

    Hello, not a direct reply to your questions but you'd be right to say that most photos you see of space are inaccurate for colour. We call them "false colour" images. Typically wha…

    As an Irishman, this concept confuses me.
