My dad was gifted with cars, and got into programming with fuel injectors back in the day. He worked as a diagnostic mechanic for a lot of years with lots of funny stories (like ro…

I got 7/8, one of the game scores got me. I'm a writer, so it's reassuring I'm able to tell the difference even in something so trivially short as game scores, and I don't follow a…

I'm highly dubious of the article, mainly because it's copywritten to sell a book. Whilst you're right, the evidence is thin to suggest a lack of sodium is the cause of EAMCs, the …

Dark urine is a sign of a lot of things, but also dehydration. Frequent urination is a sign of a lot of things, and also over-hydration. However, assuming either are related to you…

It's important to remember hydration is more than just water. Sweating means you lose salts and no amount of water you drink will help, you'll just urinate it out to keep your elec…

I think the flaws in the thinking with these studies that try to test altruism, and other "odd" behaviours according to Game Theory is that we've become so far removed from where t…

I think you've got to be careful when making a claim that working longer means you live longer. Ignoring that this is anecdotal, but you're comparing across generations, upbringing…

I'm a writer. As much as I work on my craft, when I sit down and put my fingers on the keys I'm not doing any of it. 95% of what I write I have no conscious decision in making. I r…

The examples given only showed that of drinking only water, which I would say is exactly how we see people today. If someone is only drinking water, so avoiding coffee, tea, soda, …

In my opinion, once a year would be the upper limit on re readability of a work. I'm a fast reader, not so much in the speed reading sense, but in the sense of a hunter on the Sere…

RCMP have said fairly clearly on a couple of occasions that they have no interest in prosecuting individual offenders for piracy. They took down a tracker, stated explicitly that i…

That hit likely made that hotel run at a loss that year, which when you're a massive corporation it might not look like much, but Marriott uses a franchise model. The corporation c…

Yes it is far fetched. Most equipment left behind was sabotaged, as is the nature of war. The phrase jury rigged means "use what you have to make it work". It's a logical corruptio…

I'm a construction worker, and I'm the guy who fixes everyone else's screw ups. We're normally the guys who're called in when the first guy did a hack job. I love building things. …

They've been interchangeable since about the 1960's, unless you work in a maritime industry, where you would be correct.

No, jury rig is the original nautical term dating back to at least 1788. The term likely originated from French words either ajurie meaning "help/relief" or jour meaning "a day" an…

An illustrative division would be: Micheals is predominantly "woman crafts" in that the main portion of the store is devoted to the classical archetypal "woman work" like knitting,…

I'd just like to say: Simpsons did it first. July 11, 1991, episode "Blood Feud", the last episode of season 2. The scene is around the 7 minute mark. The implication is that the b…

One of the common tactics for smuggling by boat is to keep it in garbage bags. You weight the drug bags, and carry ordinary garbage on board. If you get stopped, you throw all the …

That's a very misleading statement, the body is able to significantly reduce the amount of iron absorption through the intestines. Non-genetic related iron overload is rarely heard…

Ah porcelain, BPA free since 1600 BC.

We've got lots of hard proven facts on a lot of topics, like vaccinations. People still don't get their kids vaccinated, and then we get outbreaks where kids die from the measles. …

Except the evolution to this point requires complete inaction on the parts of the governments. Yes, some businesses have more money than entire countries. Because we allow it. It w…

I work construction and would love this, but our issue would be customers thinking we're "slacking" because in a month long job we're taking three day weekends every week. Compound…
