I remember when those things first came out and used a headphone jack so you could plug in your CD player. (those were the days…)

I don’t disagree on the symantics of the term. I’m just alluding to the fact that selective breeding/hybridizing foodstuffs can be similar to genetic modification from an outside perspective.

There are a lot of people that will completely discredit anything that that says It has been genetically modified. What they don’t necessarily realize is that GMOs and selective breeding/hybridizing can both carry similar, if not the same risks/benefits. You can make your “all-natural” seeds (for instance) sterile. They can both carry similar risks for allergies. They can also both have the same benefits of of disease/pest/drought tolerance. (see the Great French Wine Blight)

It’s also not good, not being able to feed your people without imports.

Yeah. Those were just two examples that came to mind. Tangelos or any “seedless” produce are some other ones.

I see GMOs as just another form of agricultural development to decrease issues/problems with production. (like splicing in a gene that makes them less appetizing to pests so you would use less pesticides or one that makes them more drought tolerant)

One of the largest drawbacks to GMOs though (aside from the capitalistic approach of introducing sterility) is due to allergies. This could however be easily mitigated by listing where each gene comes from so people who may be allergic to the gene of the donor would know if it should be avoided.

Alkaline water = artificial spring water

My PCP is a DO. It works for me as my body is still relatively young. (late 30’s) I also don’t have many issues that would require more intensive/specialized treatment that I don’t already have a specialist for.

Isn’t there a limit of how much protein your body can absorb in a meal and the rest just gets metabolized/excreted.

Aren’t bananas and corn both genetically modified, at least in the analog sense? Both wouldn’t exist without humans altering them.

They are just allergic reactions waiting to happen.

Tea tree oil was the only one I think to actually have merit, but I imagine we’ve been able to reproduce the beneficial part of in a lab. (with minimal risk of triggering allergies)

I agree, but with one caveat.

Fully analog tube amps do definitely produce a warmer/richer sound with less complicated things to go wrong. Artists like them because they are reliable, generally user serviceable, (usually just need to replace bad/old tubes) and makes each recording sound relatively unique.

The thing is, is that it really only works during production. Unless being cut direct to a master record, the sound will get saved in a digital format to produce the user-facing media, which can include digital-source vinyls.

Those products marketed to audiophiles try to take the digitally recorded/archived products to “try” making it sound like the original.

Maybe. Though, there are a lot of solutions to dampen noise while using hard flooring.

(I also know plenty of apartments/condos in my area that use both or just hard flooring in my area)

Hotels not using carpet in their rooms.

Wouldn’t this do the same thing in humans?

He did it for a two-fer. He educated the general public …and handed eloin his ass.

They haven’t left, they just chum the water a bit and sit back and enjoy the show.

With hard vacuum though, I believe I remember you may get a couple seconds of consciousness before you pass out from the stress. (unless it’s explosive which could knock you out instantly) You should usually get a couple minutes without any permanent injuries before death from asphyxiation. Any injuries would more or less be your larynx and eardrums, both from air getting rapidly pushed out. To minimize it you would need to be actively exhaling while opening the tubes to your ears (what you do when popping them) which will allow air to escape less forcefully.

Emboli and frostbite will however happen towards the end of those minutes. But with us being mostly a mix of liquids and solids, (with dissolved gasses) which take time to sublimate, (evaporation in a vaccum) no insta-freeze or red mist.

They’re using full disk encryption, which won’t let any part of it be read (even its partition table to boot the OS) until a password is entered. A system using FDE will go straight from POST to a password prompt.

A lot of people like FDE as it makes the encryption completely invisible to the OS and would normally have zero compatibility issues be problem-free.

A router would be different though. It would keep the same radius regardless of building geometry as it’s signal degrades with physical distance from its antenna.

A dehumidifier works by running air through it and removing moisture then exhausting the now dry air out. The dry air would then intermix back into the room’s air, lowering it’s total humidity level. It may take a little more time based on the turbidity of the rooms air, but a dehumidifier would have the capacity to dry a .25x20x24m the same as a 3x5x8m room as both contain the same amount of air in their 120m³.

Edit: added units

Can’t forget about peppers

None that I know of. I think the OC was just mocking a bit on how some people can get so bent out of shape when the word is used colloquially.

My understanding is its similar in difference to a protostar and a nova

If the universe is cyclic, then that would define it as a closed loop without any energy being removed or added. The very first instance of yourself traveling through time would break the loop by removing themselves from their iteration of the universe and reinsert into a future iteration. During those two points, the universe would now function with a deficit. This deficit could affect how it cycles to subsequent iterations.

What if that discrepancy in energy affects when the universe starts to contract or it’s speed to the big crunch/bang and subsequently the time to, and speed of expansion. Maybe it could even prevent the big crunch from reaching critical mass, where it would normally trigger a big bang, and stop the cycle altogether.
