  1. If it was all nonsense then experimentation would not agree with the theory, but it does so it isn't all nonsense. I'll bet logicandreason just had an epiphany after reading my answer and he now agrees with relativity!

  4. The energy is absorbed by anything in the oven, with varying efficiencies (oil would likely have a low efficiency). It can get things hotter than 100 C, just not liquid water. Ceramics and glass don’t have water in them either, but they heat up. You can melt plastic.

  5. Wow, you know your Nietzsche! +1. What in my opinion fails in your answer (especially for a 'Biology Expert'), is that Nietzsche was influenced by Darwinism. He saw mankind as a phase between beasts and the Ãœbermensch: But it seems he did not see it as something that just will happen according to natural selection, but as something man should strive for. So to answer dimreepr's question: surely not literally, as CharonY noticed: Nietzsche was 'Antichrist'. But one can discuss how far Nietzsche was influenced by the very common idea of the prospect of salvation. Nearly every religion has a concept of salvation, and one could defend that Nietzsche presents an atheistic, naturalistic account of such salvation.

  6. Read the ingredients. Canned dogfood is some meat, maybe some 'meat byproducts' - which may be anything from pigs' ears to chicken beaks to fish meal to floor-sweepings in a slaughterhouse - and there might be vegetables (carrots, turnips, peanuts), artificial flavour, maybe some vitamins, and lots of water. The proportions depend on the brand - more meat in the really expensive ones. Dry dogfood is mostly cornmeal, rice, beet pulp, meat byproducts, maybe soy. There is nothing wrong with including vegetables in a dog's diet; they need some fibre - especially if they're not very active - and most dogs also like celery, carrots and broccoli. Wolves also eat berries, carrots and apples. You just have to make sure they get enough protein, fat, calcium and vitamins. Ground bones would be fine, and chewing on a large bone or sinew is good for their teeth, thin bones, like chicken legs or pork ribs, especially if cooked, can be deadly: they break into sharp points that can puncture a dog's intestines. Raw bones are less likely to splinter, but can still cause trouble. Domestic dogs are fine with cooked meat and broth. There is some suggestion that feeding them raw meat might promote aggression or at least a craving for the hunt - which could be really unfortunate in a city setting and downright lethal to a dog in the country - but I don't know how whether it's true. Some butchers do cater to the raw dogfood trade. I used to make my own dogfood - meat, cereal, vegetable and supplements - which cost about the same as canned food at the time. Now I cook chicken for the cats, to serve alongside dry food - and it's way cheaper than whatever is in the tiny cans. If you feed your dogs human food, that's fine, as long as you avoid giving them onion &garlic, chocolate or anything with caffeine, anything alcoholic or fermented and xylitol. It's a good idea to avoid real sugar, too, and dairy products. They love ice cream and cheese but large amounts of either can wreak havoc on their digestive system. (I once gave the remainder of the cottage cheese and sour cream in my fridge to the dogs before we left a house and packed them into the truck. Two of them were okay; the third had galloping diarrhea all the way across California and Nevada. Really no fun for any of us!)

  7. The sum is defined as the limit of partial sums. So if we have 1/2 + 1/4 + 1/8 + 1/16 + ..., the partial sums are: 1/2, 3/4, 7/8, 15/16, ... The limit of the sequence of partial sums is 1. So by definition the sum of the original infinite sum is 1. It's explained here on Wiki. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Series_(mathematics) "it is sometimes possible to assign a value to a series, called the sum of the series. This value is the limit as n tends to infinity (if the limit exists) of the finite sums of the n first terms of the series, which are called the nth partial sums of the series."

  9. Nietzsche strongly rejected the idea or belief of Christian god as a source for morals (he was one of several philosophers using the pointed phrase "god is dead"). Nietzsche's Uebermensch is grounded in the concept of an idealized or humanity, but in contrast to Christianity, which is considered part of an other-wordly concept, this ideal is linked to the physical world (or "earth"). Nietzsche did keep it rather vague and for the most part it is not so much what the Uebermensch is, but quite a bit what it isn't. It is someone, who is not bogged down by what Nietzsche considered, outdated religions and associated moralities. It is about fulfilling potential and being what they are and forging their own ways, which suggests some form of individualism, without spelling out what the potential is, and what paths there should be. From what I remember, it is basically freeing oneself from the bindings of old historic/religious rule, without succumbing to nihilsm. I.e. replace religion (or similar crutches) with a sense of self-affirmation. As such, I would have a hard time associate any of that with Jesus, as he would likely have little patience for Jesus (as he did with religious folks.)

  11. You prefer the evidence approach with everyone or just with trans people? If someone tells you they are right-handed do you also "resent any kind of compulsion to "accept right-handed individuals as they identify"? How about a person who says they have blonde hair? Do you insist on the "evidence approach" with them? What about the person who claims to be white, or a bit of an introvert? If your resentment and evidence approach only applies to people who identify as trans then perhaps you can forgive us for mistaking that for a type of prejudice.

  12. Canada and some other countries have a smaller population in relation to the area it occupies compared to other countries, therefore below are a few ideas that are useful for Canada and those countries. 1. In Canada people pay the same for long distance phone calls and short distance phone calls, that is not good. Beacuse of that distance betwen people lost an importance and the people change in a negative direction (the desire to become rich is lost). Correct is that long distance phone calls should be more expensive than short distance phone calls. For example: phone call distance 100 miles =0,1 $ Phone call distance 1000 miles=1 $ Phone call distance 10000 miles=10 $ . . . 2. The same problem is with skyscrapers, the hight of the building lost an importance because people who live on the first floor of a skyscraper pay the same for water, electricity and gas like people who live on the top floor of tha same building. Correct is that apartments on the top floor of a building should be more expensive through water, electricity and gas costs. 3. The same problem is with water and electricity, the place from where water and electricity are taken lost an importance because people who live near rivers and power plants pay the same for water, electricity like people who live far away from rivers and power plants. Correct is that people who live far away from rivers and power plants should pay more for water, electricity. 4. The same problem is with Cable TV, the place from where the TV signal comes lost an importance beacuse people who live near and far away from the place from where the TV signal comes pay the same for Cable TV. Correct is that people who live far away from the place from where the TV signal comes should pay more for Cable TV.

  13. You will never understand this subject, because its irrational nonsense. All the solutions are nonsense. Einstein's conclusions about warping time and distances and mass, is nonsense. This has been proven beyond doubt. You cant get rational science truth from a nonsense hypothesis. There needs to be an agreement by the majority of scientists that their dogma about Einstein is full of nonsensical claims and that there is most likely aa much better correct interpretation. But dogma belongs to religious belief and that's what Physics of Einstein is based on. Few are interested in truth, they prefer comfortable lies that sound like science fiction. Because that's more exciting. Like Santa and the tooth fairy, exciting but imaginary.

  14. Idea of making a wireless connection that is limited in range. There are standard wireless connections that cover the entire country. This means that two people in USA who are connected to those wireless connections can talk with each other, and the two people pay money for that. My idea is to make a free wireless that covers only smaller regions, for example all roads in USA, people who are connected on that wireless connection can only talk with each other and only on roads in USA, and not with other people who are connected to other wireless connections and who are not on roads in USA.
