  1. Robots manually destroying weeds. I can see the future of agriculture now
  2. I'm confused. I find the food that tastes the best to me to also be healthy. Maybe my taste is odd
  3. Well, the last ten years have had the biggest 'peak' the North Atlantic/Caribbean has ever had on record. I find this graph to be quite interesting.
  4. I've always wondered how helpful just lying down awake helps. I spend at least an hour a day awake before/after I fall asleep while still lying down in a slight daze.
  5. Does anyone know if it's a fairly worse thing to have shorter sleeping periods? Like if the same amount of hours are spent sleeping. Compare a 9 hour overnight sleep to a 5 hour sleep combined with a three hour nap later that day. I'm curious particularily because sleep is a very important factor with a chronic illness I have, and I'm living in a noisey place, with roomates that don't have good sleep patterns. So I only get 4-7 hours of sleep at night when I used to get 7-11 hours. I try to rest during the day to make up for it (although I have large difficulties actually falling asleep then).
  6. He can remember the entire book? So basically he could read an entire book aloud to someone without actually having it with him? I find that a bit suprising.
  7. I can't help much besides this one link I found: http://www.merkle.com/humanMemory.html
  8. Being under the influence of alcohol tends to rise the consumption rate of most other drugs. I doubt it has anything to do with nicotine specifically.
  9. You're kind of twisting things around. A nuclear bomb is a little bit worse than a firebombing run. Whether or not it was launched had nothing to do with morals over civilian casualties, but rather had all to do with the fact that the USA didn't end up going to war with them.
  10. Judging by what I've read on other forums... no there isn't a way to prevent it. These 'computer experts' basically said that all forms of wireless router security don't work. We had our net access being used by someone else in this apartment building... hopefully not anymore. It's frusturating to know that it's (supposedly) impossible to prevent.
  11. Considering inflation and a rising population, I would find it odd that for any given year the tax revenue to be less than the previous.
  12. Aye. I don't know of any studies on this subject, but I tend to think that the willingness to discuss is a big reason why there are statements saying men have a much higher. The women I know tend to have just as high, if not higher drive than the men I know. It's just that they're not as open about it.
