You’d be surprised. The speed of electrical pulses inside neurons change due to all kinds of factors, like training and diet.

I do really expect them to change with tiredness too.

It’s not a middle finger to Trump. The Brazilian government has had that position for a long time.

Crustaceans, probably.

Well, if they are doing the same jobs you are, then they aren’t reaping any of the benefits.

They should be able to do some jobs that you aren’t prepared for. Personally, I would say anybody not to do one unless they have an specific job in mind… Most people I know that did one while working are quite happy with the result.

Around here, it’s probably because people are deeply aware of all the problems and unaware of all the gains.

The neighbor’s grass is always greener…

A medieval star!

Just to add because nobody mentioned that yet… But you can always push stuff faster than the speed of sound, it will just stop being a liquid, and probably explode, but there’s no law saying the material can’t go faster.

A long time ago the Japanese government decided that the entire country producing only one kind of food is bonkers, and started forcing farmers to diversify.

Jump to a handful of decades later, and the diversification effort was kept every ear, with people complaining that they can’t keep it forever, and the government claiming that it never caused any problem. Repeat that again and again, and well, finally it has caused some problem.

it’s always one of the back corners

If it’s always in the same orientation, it also can be caused by cold wind. Look at your enclosure ventilation, or try putting an obstacle there if there isn’t an enclosure.

The police, persecution and two independent levels of the Judiciary found him to be the central player on the Petrobras scandal that you talked about (and either way, it was created while he was the president). He was the central player on the scandal of car companies paying him (personally) to avoid paying taxes. He inherited the position of central player on the scandal of construction companies paying bribes.

There were dozens of other crimes. He was right on the middle in most of them. Including the one where he used taxpayer money to bribe representatives and senators.

Cut the bullshit.

It now seems that the arrest was for more political rather than criminal reasons

That’s just false.

They rewrote the law so that the judges that judged were the wrong ones, decided that this invalidated the judgement that already happened, and that no existing judge had the authority to rule over the case. He wasn’t deemed non-guilty of anything, no evidence was found wrong, and no crime was corrected.

If he stops making newsworth content, the news will be tempted to fill their space with other, less egregious corruption scandals.

So, I don’t expect him to go out free, but I really expect him to keep just enough freedom he needs to keep throwing shit around.

Well, “hairs” are quantized phenomenon…

So at some finite time, it will be all gone. At least if the thing is happening fast enough for it not to grow back at a similar time-frame.

It’s good to have one movie be different, but if every movie was like that, it would be boring and depressing.

Well, one of those is “easy”, the other is really hard.

Force is the last refuge of everyone. What is weird is when people that one would expect to be powerful resort to it.

Get a bottle of pure oxygen and open it over a tongue-simulator¹ to see what happens.

People usually use a hot-dog. But with oxygen, even a piece of wood is close enough.

Surface tension doesn’t tell you anything about the cloth-water interface.

Without surface tension it would stick to whatever thing attracts it more. And a normal piece of cloth attracts water way more than a normal non-carpet floor.

But it also wouldn’t flow freely as the GP expects either. Some oils have almost no surface tension, and they are famously a nightmare to clean up.

As a positive, the water would evaporate faster.

Go ahead and lick pure oxygen. Nothing wrong with that, sure.
