Most animals touch the mark to try and remove it/ figure out what it is. I think it should be noted that this isn't true. Very few species have passed the [mirror self-recognition] test. As of 2016, only great apes (including humans), a single Asiatic elephant, dolphins, orcas, Giant oceanic manta ...

Looks like wood glue is polyvinyl acetate. I can't find any mention of it being used as a structural material, so I feel like it would just be a poor-quality plastic chair.

If Trump goes down for election shenanigans then Pence will probably go the way of Spiro Agnew—he will get replaced and then the replacement will likely finish out the term. If they both get impeached/removed from office at the same time, would Pelosi become president (assuming she wins the Speaker...

I was looking for houses, and found a street where the high-income residents had platforms built on the sides of the house along the roof for snowblowers. The platforms were attached to the slanted edges of the roof, so that someone could push the snowblower across the roof and remove the snow from ...

That seems to invoke a circular definition—any current is also going to have a specific voltage, and the volt is defined in terms of amperes and Newtons—the Newton itself being defined in terms of kilograms. They're using the current* definition of the kilogram to accurately measure Planck's consta...

This gives "juvenile court" a whole new meaning.

The real solution is to let go of the assumption that HTML should be stored and manipulated as plain strings, and only convert it to a string at the very end when the page is complete.

Patriotism is chanting "U-S-A!" when the USA team walks onto the field.
Nationalism is chanting "U-S-A!" when the other country's team walks onto the field.

You can probably beat that by putting everything inside the processor itself (can't trace what you can't see without destroying the thing itself), but even that has its limits.

Long story short, if you think adult media is better than child media, then you are logically required to think porn has aesthetic valuable. This is proof reductio as absurdum that adult media is not inherently better than child media. There seems to be an unstated assumption introduced between the...

Coming out has went spectacularly so far. I'm currently out to close friends on facebook (most of whom I see in person frequently), and at work. Haven't come out to family yet, as my mom is currently my landlord, so I want to be in a more secure place housing-wise in case things go south.

You'd think it would be easier and more comfortable to just give them wheelchairs like everyone else.

Imagine you are driving to work and suddenly remember you forgot to do the dishes last night. What pops into your head is not a picture of you doing the dishes or of the dirty dishes themselves, but rather the words 'I forgot to do the dishes'. I'm pretty sure this is not true for everybody.

If the only way you believe safety can be improved is by restricting and punishing non-criminal gun owners, then you occupy a position roughly similar to the anti-abortion crowd. That's how safety regulations work? By adding restrictions and punishment for violations thereof which apply to everyone...

I've always understood e.g. 89th percentile to include only the 89th-ranked 1/100 of the group, so in a group of 1000 values, the lowest 10 are in the 1st percentile, the next 10 (11-20) are in the 2nd percentile, etc. Rather than the nth percentile containing the lowest n% of the population, each...

It looks like the percentile rank is the percentage of values that are below a score (so, just a number), while the percentile is the group of all of the values that are below a given percentile rank. If your mass is at the 89th percentile (89% of the population has less mass than you), then the per...

A theory I seen kicking around reddit: White's Pearl's gem is on her stomach, our Pearl's gem is on her forehead, Pink's gem is on her stomach, and White's gem is on her forehead. This suggests that White's Pearl used to be Pink's pearl, and vice versa. This ends up being...

I don't get the appeal of this meme. Origin of it aside, I think what makes it appealing is how easy it is to encode the reference in other forms. Since all you need is the four-panel format of one thing, two things, two things, and two things with one of them sideways, it's easy to hide in otherwi...

That the vast majority of the symbiotes apparently die seem of no concern to the Goa'uld, so I would say that they are not there just to serve as incubators. So the Goa'uld in power are exploiting what is basically child labor for their species in order to have strong, dependent armies to maintain ...

So you have a modular PSU, with detachable cables? If so, the ports on the back aren't necessarily the same pinout as PCIe power connectors.
