Check out what is being touted as a mysterious phenomena! No ornithologist would know what these are!

I cannot find an option for that .

Which illusion, performance has impressed you the most ? That unforgettable one that dropped your jaw to the floor and still has you scratching your head ?

Congratulations science Forum on 1mil total posts. I know it doesent mean much for most but we should stop and appreciate for a moment what this forum brought to some of us. It links and connects each other allowing us to discuss interesting topics, get a peer review for any idea we might have and care to share or be corrected on a flawed understanding. If you are not fortunate enough to work in the specific field that you are interested in, it's hard to find people who you could discuss specific topics with. Thank you admins and members for this though-sharing platform that you shaped.

I apparently can't post such long threads here, but I've posted that parody on several Internet forums, like here: http://forums.xkcd.com/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=124565

Recently did a kayaking trip out to the Dome House of Cape Romano. Pretty proud of myself, went further than before and managed my first overnighter via kayak. Dome House itself is interesting. Built back in the 80's and later abandoned. Coastline has since changed and now the Domes sit offshore. http://www.messynessychic.com/2013/06/12/the-mysterious-dome-homes-marching-into-the-sea-before-after/ Approaching the house. Number of folks out for the day and there was even a tour boat at one point. Close up. Floors are all gone at this point. Would have liked to take some interior shots but didn't want to chance catching on …

Hi guys, What do you think about an idea to make p2p platform connecting R&D groups and Universities with customers on a specific demand? Customers can place their order to the Institution they never did before. Within the thrust and confidence of blockchainplatform. It is strongly actual due to the demand of developed markets (Japan, US, EU, UK, Switzerland, etc.) and to the development of emerging markets (China, India, Russia, etc.) E.g., let us assume that the scientific group N1C1R1 of the city of C1R1 in the country R1 has received a grant for the development of a new type of magnetoresistivememory. In the course of the work it becam…

I am trying to get information (statistical preferably) on how typo likelihoods work. Do you know what would be the most likely typos of a random word? Do you know how sequence and the position of the previous character would affect these? What about typos on mobiles? I have done a search on google but I can't find anything relevant. Does anyone here know any info? Has anyone researched it a bit? Thanks.

FedEx gets in line for 20 Tesla Semi electric trucks. They are now going to test the electric semi truck waters. Mike Ducker, the FedEx Freight president and CEO said, "Our investment in these trucks is part of our commitment to improving road safety while also reducing our environmental impact." What will be the implication of this for the diesel truck parts? Source: https://www.cnet.com/roadshow/news/tesla-semi-electric-truck-gets-20-orders-from-fedex/

I just wanted to express my heartfelt apology to the members of the forum. I was on suspension for a year for very indecent behavior. I hope I can rejoin your community once again.

Greetings lads! I am looking for a mathematician to assist me with geometry. I am running a project in order to promote the greatness of mathematics and more or less I would like to have euclidean geometry "re-written", in a way that it will be more approachable to school students as well as adult students. I am currently trying to write down 50 simple questions to establish the project upon. If there is any mathematician willing to assist me, that would be outstanding! Regards

Well, obviously it isn't, but I wanted to attract maximum readership to make a statement and then a request. I think I have failed to deliver on promised answers on a number of threads, none of which can I now track down. (Old age and that sort of thing.) This is an apology to anyone and everyone who had been promised a response of some kind which did not come. If you are one of those people and would have appreciated that response please send me a pm with details and this time I shall respond. (Please note, although my memory is poor, I know with certainty that I didn't promise any of you money, so don't go down that route. :)) I don't actually think it li…

Control freaks are drawn to politics and law enforcement. How can this kind of crap be stopped.

What exactly is it that distinguishes those who are able to gain white collar work to those who are unable to, and are forced to be engaged in blue collar work instead?

They say sitting is the new smoking now but I have no idea to what extent this dichotomy may be true.

I am looking for advice from anyone who has started their own business. I work a day job right now but I'm thinking of quitting and pursuing my own ideas for making money. I have a detailed plan that I've been refining for some time. Have you ever started your own business? What was your experience? Were you a success or failure? Were you glad you did it or did you regret it? What were the main challenges that you faced?

Apart from eggs, pepper and butter, what other ingredients do you guys put in your favourite omelettes for breakfast?

The title says it all

I find myself studying the goldfish in my pool , and seeing how I stack up in the hirarcy of living things . In my immediate hirarcy , I am clearly ' Up Here ' and they are quite content to be ' down there' I feed them , battle off the foes like frogs . Feed them , count them , clean their water, plant water plants, reeds . We have a good relation. What I wonder is what if I think about the other way ? What is next above me , looking down ? Mike

I just came across this term. A style of trolling that may be familiar: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sea_lioning http://wondermark.com/1k62/

I recently saw an ad on TV for a company which provided free credit scores for potential home buyers or anyone else who might be planning to take out a loan. One of the key things they wanted to emphasise was that "getting your credit score will not affect your credit score". Is this not a blatant violation of Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle?

Someone who, in an electronic version of a magazine, puts links in. Like if the science forums are mentioned in an article, they'll put in a link into the actual phrase "science forum". That's all the person does. Is there some title or something that approximates that job that would be fitting as a way of crediting the person?
