  1. Impact smoke pellets? From a quick google search it seems that it only requires powdered sugar and potassium nitrate.
  2. If such thngs exist in humans, the infection would most likely inhibit the frontal lobe in order to manipulate the human host. How it would manage to do this, not entirely sure. But I am certain that its main purpose is to spread and to do so, it would need the body to have as little voluntary movement, or make the host create it a habitable environment. Such a thing happens with a specie of orb weaver spider. https://www.nytimes.com/2015/09/14/science/a-wasp-that-turns-a-spider-into-the-walking-dead.html
  3. what is meaning? can we even discuss? what is it? can we even have k n o w l e d g e ??
  4. the task of philosophy is to squabble over the meaning of words
  5. I think he means that we appear to have thinner skin compared to other animals.
  6. I ate hand-sanitizer once, the aftertaste was really nice. But not the sensation. 

  7. I have done something wrong to the post , work in progress. edit: i have become frustrated on fixing the post this will take a while
  8. Well, OP said, "evolutionary tree it appears that humans are an aberration. ie a departure from the norm." I can't see how humans are an abberration looking at the evolutionary tree ( like the image Moontanman posted above) because this would mean that chimpanzees are an aberration as well because it would fulfill OPs first point being, "The rest of the tree - natural world - is quite self contained and self sufficient without the existence of humans (or chimpanzees in this example)" . And just like Area54 said, you can replace the word humans with any other species. So according to OP, would this mean that anything that has evolved from the "norm" is an aberration? I would guess that the norm is bacteria because they were the first things here. arguably.
  9. Wowzers I got accepted into a CSU. What a surprise!

      I should have specified but CSU stands for California State Univeristy, more specifically, CSU Fresno.

      Ah, thats CSU without the "a". Congratulations man!

  10. Isn't that the point of evolution? Any organism that isn't a single-celled microorganism is an abberation from the tree of life? Also why is this in religion?
  11. Keep it. It helps to see whether a post or a reply to a post is worth taking the time to read.
  12. I asked a professor for reading recommendations into the field of epistemology, and she recommended Keith Lehrers' "Theory of Knowledge". However, neither the public library system nor the college I attend has a copy of the book. I managed to stumble upon another book entitled "Epistemology: A contemporary introduction to the theory of knowledge" by Robert Audi, and I was wondering if the two are somewhat similar or if they talk about different subjects, and if so, what are they. Thanks in advance.
  13. Found it while I was working. A deformation on the side of the manderine. It is weird, looks like it wanted to grow a branch of its own. I named him Morangê.
  14. So it is always best for the battery to dwindle to 20% then recharge it, but does using it while chraging affect it in any negative way? Once fully charged, should you unplug it to save on the energy bill?
  15. You can try Khan Academy. They have a Java Script branch that helps you learn the basics. It is decent. But I am not sure if you can do it on a phone, I know you can do it on a browser from a PC.
  16. Unless a female plant is found, E. woodii will never reproduce naturally. This species is known to form fertile hybrids with E. natalensis, and a backcrossing technique can be used: if each offspring is subsequently crossed with E. woodii and the process is then repeated, after several generations, female offspring will be closer to what a female Encephalartos woodii would be like.[4] However, genetic analysis of chloroplast DNA of F1 hybrids between E. woodii and E. natalensis showed that all chloroplasts are inherited from the female E. natalensis,[19] indicating that multigenerational hybrid offspring would have E. natalensis chloroplasts and could never be "pure" E. woodii. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Encephalartos_woodii
  17. A $10k "P.C." with a 30Hz refresh rate 

    :D I can't stop chuckling. 

  18. Noty cage, forgot the name of the bigger place of enclosure.
  19. 58 dead and 515 injured...
  20. My lamb (Bob), escaped his cage once and wondered into my patio area, where he found a mop leaning up, and proceeded to have an intimate experience with the mop. It was damn cheeky of him, I think I still have a video of that. RIP Bob 2016-2016, you sure did taste good.
  21. Yea, sorry, I wasn't necessarily trying to point it specifically on immigrants. I should rephrase it to not make it look like it is just them.
  22. Oh I found this, maybe it will help. http://www.empowher.com/cosmetics/content/making-your-own-mascara-bad-idea and http://www.skinstore.com/blog/skincare/beauty-glossary-iron-oxides/ From what I have searched it seems that iron oxide seems to be safer than activated charcoal. But you can reduce all of your risks to 0% if you don't wear any makeup. I am certain your face is fair without any harsh chemicals on them.
  23. Makeup? Like the thing you smear on your face or is this something else.
  24. Today I learned a lot of rather insignificant facts about goats ( which is why I love them). One of those things is that goats are sometimes kept with racehorses as a companion animal. This is thought to have a calming effect on the horse. The term "Get your goat" (meaning to agitate someone) is rumored to have originated from the practice of stealing the companion goat so the racehorse would do poorly. http://www.barnyardpetvet.com/GoatTrivia1.html P.S. Sue's name was probably rargagharargh.
  25. http://www.bbc.com/news/av/science-environment-16554357/the-goats-with-spider-genes-and-silk-in-their-milk I wonder how strong the silk is. Also, https://phys.org/news/2010-05-scientists-goats-spider-silk.html They will plan to incorporate the genes into alfalfa plants. Interesting. I have yet to play the game surprisingly. I wish to buy it on Steam.
