In case of flooding. After all it is derived from skating in drained pools.

So... studies. Turns out the chemical component is near negligible. Or better, not worse than a busy street. No lead anyway.

The sound however does have some health issues connected to it.

Ah, back to the original source material I see.

Skipping ''normal'' all together? Yeah. It probably would be seen as an insult.

Neurons are among the oldest cells evolutionarily speaking. If you go beyond small clusters of cells you need a way to get signals across your organism. Short distances? No problem but larger distances or more complex instuctions, or better timed reactions you need 'cable'. Enter the neuron.

So basically neurons developed into 'intelligence' from a 'need' to communicate internally. From this you can evolve stuff like bigger muscles, legs, arms. Brain.

So unless we discover intelligence in plants I'm afraid neurons are the only way to go.

Is that Jack Septiceye?

Thank you. I was looking for this.

Alcohol was at 13.1 (2020)

Wyoming topped that list with 35.6

This is reddit. They actually comment that too.

You mention one of the issues. This one is among the rather fluid definitions like; ''How big is a planet ''and ''How small is a moon''.

Size is a relative as big and small. The moon is smaller than the sun and bigger than a tomato. In galactic perspective that's already pretty close.

I was not talking red shift. This is just one of the methods. Not for our neighborhood but does paint a picture we can apply to our neck of the woods.

All excellent explanations.

In short. There is no halo to measure. It's 'just' refraction that makes you see a halo. Same as the rainbow. It's a trick of the light. 'Smoke and mirrors' but done by nature.

Here's a video. Not about halos but about rainbows but the explanation is the same.

There are two reasons. The soft tap. Loosening particles (sugar, salt etc) that form a rough surface.

Second one is the slap. Inertia makes the contents move the lid relative to the jar breaking the seal. No more vacuum, less friction, easy access.

Not really . Location location location. Most fossil rich real-estate was deep sea at some point in time. The world turned upside down a few times over. When it comes to numbers, deep sea critters are among the most found.

The myth (it turns out) is that they were scaly. Most likely is that the scales only were for reptiles and most dinosaurs were covered in feathers or feather like fur.... or fur like feathers we actually don't know.

Why? You assume there is a reason?

Oke, this is how evolution works.

Don't die and procreate. Every living being you see is what's left of billions of itterations of not getting dead before they procreated.

The tardigrade is no different.

However. Tardigrades have their size going for them. They are not particularly extra resilient by design but being small makes them extra hardy. Weird thing is that tardigrades are famous for it but most critters that size share those traits to a similar degree.

Not really. It's all done by computers. This is a weapons platform and the execution of a shot is why it's there.

Remember Luke Skywalker disabling his targeting computer before destroying the Death Star? Yeah, not gonna happen on a military vehicle. Any influence on the vehicle is compensated by computer to get the optimal result.

Besides, slowing down an engine is the worst way to compensate. Angle of the blades is used to get the optimal lift. And it sure needs compensating. Not only the weight, but also the violent way way the mass leaves the vehicle. You could not compensate for that vibration by hand.

But there is 'only' an increased chance. Studies only have been done among people with occupational hazard. And they are not conclusive about how big the chances are in relation to chronic exposure to PAHs and metabolites.

[Hammond et al. 1976; Lloyd 1971; Mazumdar 1975; Redmond et al. 1972; Redmond and Strobino 1976].

Ever seen the Sphinx cat? Ever seen a Maine Coon? Fossilized you would not be able to tell them apart. Bit of a size difference but that's it.

There now is a big discussion about dinosaurs having had feathers. Would change the look tremendously. But the bones and muscles are pretty much scientifically extrapolated.

Blue is not zero.........

There is a good reason not to vaccinate. Vaccines do have a small risk. If the risk of complications (say 1 in 1000.000) is greater than yearly casualties (1 in 30.000.000) it's rather counter productive.

Also

Vaccinations are given to combat the spreading of a disease. Notably the more dangerous and contagious (human to human) a virus is the better the chance of Vaccination.

Rabies (compares to SARS for instance) is not a big risk and pretty hard to contract. In some area's you should vaccinate but usually any vaccination in those area's is a problem.

I agree the statistics are grim but they are not the only grim statistics if you look at the area's these statistics come from.

So... we agree on this? You are making the exact same point concerning the answer to the actual question.

Just one difference. You say poison should damage you in some way you say. I think that resulting in death is rather damaging don't you? And extra oxygen (But not dangerous amounts obviously) is exactly how you speed up removal of CO from a person.

Here's the thing. Damage is about overdoing. Insulin for instance. We agree this is necessary for a body to function right? Dump a large enough dose in a body and your body will shut down and you die. Sugar (by many called a modern toxin itself) is the anti-toxin in this case. It's not fighting the toxin but the effect until the balance is restored.

The way insulin works, the way O² works, the way N, CO etc. work is fine....until it isn't. At that point it becomes a poison.

Here's the thing. CO isn't actually poisonous it just bonds to your blood like oxygen thus preventing your blood from transporting enough oxygen.

An air mixture with too much oxygen will also kill you outright.

So yes 'water poisoning' is a thing just like oxygen poisoning and CO poisoning.

Sure. Acid will kill most bacteria. Kinda of why probiotics don't work. But not all bacteria. Kinda why probiotics work.

Other problem is that mold and bacteria produce toxins. So it's not only that you ingest the lifeforms but also the toxins they produced. Acid does not neutralize most toxins.

Cirrhosis is damage. Scar tissue. Your liver does not function in affected area's. And is not going to ever again.

Without alcohol you can still get ''nonalcoholic fatty liver disease'' that eventually can lead to cirrhosis and liver failure. But it can be cured.
