My teeth are highly sensitive.(but gums are more more sensitive) realised its reason is just brushing.. here is a new way to protect them more healthy that I thought. accordin to my opinion "we will not brush them so frequently like before.but we will use too much toothpaste ,but only toothpaste. we will take toothpaste ,and wait for around 5-6 minute up to 10 minute.we will not brush then." I think brushing our teeth injures our teeth(gums) ,especially whoes teeth are sensitive like mines.and so taht we would be able to protect our gums. I think if this is logical ,we may be able to keep them healthier ,furthermore if this is useful ,we should not care to the t…

I made my sunday rounds today, I hate having to fill out all that paper work but the police assured me that this time the bodies wouldn't be buried in consecrated ground and have to be dug back up like last time. The way the faces of the priests at the local orphanage light up with the thought of saving the souls of those little kids is really gratifying. Sad their parents seemed to think that working on sunday was an out dated law but you know what they say. Ignorance of the law is no excuse! Well back to another lazy sunday...

I'm either going to get a complete lash back or some kind of 60/40 response: Have the mods/ admins ever considered removing the "Politics" and "Religion" forum topics? If not, I ask you consider it. My reasons for "Removing the Politics and Religion" forum topics: 1) Firstly, the rule goes, never talk about religion and politics 2) This is a SCIENCE forum, not a SCIENCE AND OPINION forum 3) P & R topics tend to be long winded, with no real end in sight, especially the POLITICS forum 4) P & R topics also show passionate/ emotional sides of members that wouldn't normally show in regular scientific discussion 5) P & R potentially kee…

I thought I'd post this here since it's not exactly a homework question or discussion regarding a specific operation in a field/subject. Out of the following, which fields gravitate more towards applied physics/engineering (but not necessarily such a discipline)? Or maybe if that's confusing, another way I would ask this is, study in which of the following fields would lead into research on the most cutting edge of technology with a high likelihood of some degree of achievability of said technology within the foreseeable future? 1. Particle Physics 2. Quantum physics a. Quantum information science (computing, information theory, etc.) b. Quantum Field t…

Are there any others here still interested in the Madeleine McCann case? Is there anything that doesn't seem right from a scientific perspective? I have been researching the case and I feel it is a very interesting science case.

So apparently my fly swatter has a capacitor on the output. I measured its lines DC and it read 170VDC. Okay... Now today I was thinking that my shock and the spark was too strong for 170VDC. I measured it at AC and it read 600VAC, and it kept increasing. Can anyone explain to me why this happens and how is it possible to have dc and ac on the same line? Sorry if this is the wrong section.

Taking views expressed in Dawkins' The Selfish Gene Which of these 2 survival machines is more likely to reproduce successfully based solely on physical appearance? A B Further, would it be possible for these 2 to mate based solely on physical appearance? Third, would either be compromising were they to settle for one another? From my point of view, the male is at an advantage, his appearance seems quite natural, as if very little effort has been put into it, whereas the female has clearly made use of a hair stylist, or at least hair styling equipment, and perhaps hired a photographer and lighting staff to accentuate her features - this i…

This how it started on Pandora, at first just small plants but floating mountains were the end result! https://twitter.com/designmilk/status/749849242051772420

Hello everyone! I recently 'got' the Trinité font family, but there's a problem in the installment. Ah well, I'm basically looking for a nice serif font (as complete family and characters [well ... at least a euro sign] as possible) with an italic that looks like this; I really like the unique italic from Trinité and am looking for an alternative with an almost as satisfying italic: Anyone got any suggestions? Thanks! F

On IMDB Antimatter Future in top 100 movie trailers on IMDB. I am not leaving any link look it up for yourself, because then there is no way this is advertising for the admins to censor whatever they please. Why allow discussion of other movies and censor this information that is relevant to society?

I've been a two-finger 'sight-typer' for years and I want to learn touchtyping. What worked for you? Links would be good.

First time this fish has been seen alive!

I have accepted a position as a research associate at the University of Luxembourg within the 'Unité de Recherche en Mathématiques'. The position comes with more responsability such as some teaching duties and supervision of students - undergraduate, masters and hopefully I can jointly supervise a PhD student. Exciting times ahead.

I am afraid that behind all this news of Brexit and Boris the very sad news that Gordon Murray creator of the Trumpton Series of Children's Television has died. For those of a certain age he provided the TV and songs of our youth Pew Pew Barney...Riding along in an army truck...Windy Miller...Raggy Dan. Off home to get out my box set of Trumpton, Chigley, and Camberwick Green (This is not a joke - it was probably the best present my mum ever got me)

Now that yet another alien invasion movie is opening and the idea is yet again being milked can we reasonably speculate what would really happen if aliens arrived? I'm not sure if the aggressive stance of this movie is the most likely but what would you do? What do you think your government would do? What do you think religious leaders would do? If the aliens were not aggressive would the long term results still be destructive?

I'm completely lost with what the truth is surrounding the meaning of art.

hi everyone, currently I do not have a facebook account but sometimes I contemplate the idea of making one. only problem is sometimes the thought of meticulously taking pictures, filtering/editing/photoshoping them and uploading them makes me feel guilty as if I am deceiving the world and making others feel bad about their looks etc. or things they don't have. do you use facebook? if so, do you use filters? how do you use facebook properly so as to cause less frictions between your "friends"? do you only add people you know really well or acquaintances as well? is it best to add many friends or not so many? do you post your political views? what sort of things d…

I think there will be alot of other ENTP's here, considering the attraction of scientists who love theory's and ideas. ~EE

Hear a violin 3D-printed of polymer: http://3dprintedinstruments.wikidot.com ... nstruments hosted on it could have sounded worse. But it's very far from a decent violin. Printing a violin or a woodwind's reed is the most difficult challenge and I don't imagine plastic to succeed in that task, especially if the shape is just copied from the wooden parts, which is meant for very different material properties. But for instrument parts that don't essentially vibrate, like the body of a recorder or the mouthpiece of a woodwind, we're on the verge of home-printing them. Which I feel ironic, because chip-making manufacturing processes are obviously cheaper than 3D prin…

Here is a YouTube MTV Decoded video that describes "The Surprisingly Racist History of Caucasian." This video illuminates details on the origin of this racial term to its use in America. Is it racist? Given its origin, I still somehow find its current use in America less offensive than white but Negro more offensive than black or Afro-American, which continues to be used by government in certain areas of the country. What are your thoughts?

What are the latest scientific evidence suggesting? Is it better to read quietly in your head or read everything out loud? If the latter, does this help increase retention a lot or only a little bit and by how much?
