[ "Livor Mortis sets in pretty quickly- it's the fourth stage of death. The blood sinks to the \"bottom\" of the body - basically, whatever point is lowest. Without the heart agitating the blood, the red blood cells sink to the bottom of the liquid, and then the rest of the blood seperates by density. So it may be possible to take the blood, but it's really not worth the effort." ]

This means it will stay bound to our taste buds until it's either broken down or something it's soluble in carries it off. Water is ineffective because capsaicin isn't soluble in it. Milk does a very good job of reducing the burning because capsaicin binds to its fats and is carried off to your stomach. Other fatty foods have the same effect." ]

[ "Central banks are concerned with long-term economic stability and growth. They're supposed to be entirely focused on that long-term objective. If a banker at the Federal Reserve can enact policies that improve the economy over 20 years, they've done a good job. Government is often run by people who may have long-term goals, but very often have huge incentives for short-term gains even at the expense of long-term stability. If a politician can manipulate the markets to make it look like they're producing huge amounts of growth within a 2-, 4-, or 6-year span, they look like they've done a good job and might get re-elected. However, that same plan may destabilize the economy long-term, leading to big losses. Who cares as long as they got re-elected last term, right? If government controlled the central bank more strictly, who knows what the agenda of either would be, who stands to gain from which policy, are the policies actually helpful to the economy or are they helpful to a certain politician's constituents, etc.? Having separate entities with separate goals makes it a bit easier to trust that each seeks to accomplish different things for different reasons, and the *argument* between them is what usually produces sound policy on both sides when they can reach an agreement on something." ]

Less strength and skill and coordination is required and even if you account for the fact that adults have more strength, and better coordination than week clumsy children, they come out ahead. It is also harder to hurt yourself when falling down as a small child due to physics and children are generally more fearless and will not hesitate when adults would, which helps with gymnastics a bit." ]

[ "All of the gas giant planets have rings, Saturn's are just the most prominent. Rings are basically just big clouds of dust and ice that orbit a planet, like a moon. It's possible that material dates back to the formation of the solar system, or perhaps it is the debris left over from a moon destroyed in a collision or ripped apart by the planet's gravity. The fact that Saturn has such big and bright rings may just be an accident of timing. They're estimated to be only about 100 million years old (dating back to when the dinosaurs lived) and may dissipate in another 100 million years. In astronomical terms that isn't a very long time at all, so it seems not to be a stable arrangement." ]

[ "The air conditioner has a motor which compresses the gas hence it is called the compressor. If you start the compressor after a period of being off then the electric motor, the compressor, starts against no load. It does not begin pumping against a compressed gas. It is easier for a motor to start against no load. If the air conditioner was running then there is likely to be compressed gas still in the system. That is why the compressor is there. The compressor starts from zero speed against a load just as you might begin pedaling up a hill on a bicycle. Electric motors draw a large current getting started. They will draw even more when starting under a load." ]

If you have a big swing like that and you don't live in a desert, then most likely a warm mass of air has moved in to replace a colder one, rather the air itself changing temperature. If you do live in a desert, then the sun alone can do that - things warm up in sunlight and cool off in its absence. Water requires a lot of energy to heat up, so the more water is around you, the less temperature will change from direct heating. That's why islands tend to be mostly the same temperature year round, and deserts have huge temperature changes just between day and night." ]

Rent control artifically keep the price of rent low, but this doesn't change the core problem. If the rent stay low, it become less interesting for people to build affordable habitation. So either they build less in that city, or they build something else that is more profitable for them. The supply and demand stay the same, so the price of construction go up and the price of land go up too. The only realy way to keep rent low is by increasing the supply and rent control is doing the opposite, it's a temporary solution that make thing worst on long term." ]

[ "First, the amount of Tasers that get fired recreationally, in practice, and in service are extremely small compared to the amount of bullets that get fired. People shoot firearms for fun and for sport, not just defense and practice. The same can't be said about Tasers. Another big thing is that a shot out of a Taser costs about 30 bucks (according to Taser's website.) A full metal jacket 9mm Luger cartridge, if you aren't buying bulk, costs in the area of 10-15 cents. This makes putting barcodes on every single bullet in the world totally unfeasible. It's also worth mentioning that you can handload your own ammunition, and cast your own bullets, I do both. Edit: Also, many bullets are destroyed upon impact with a hard object, shed their copper jacket in the case of armor piercing bullets, or expand to a completely different shape in the case of jacketed hollow points. The point that you can make your own bullets kind of negates the idea of serializing them." ]

[ "Floridian here. I have about 30 pineapples growing in my garden. The stem at the top of the pineapple serves several purposes: * First, it keeps the fruit from drying out. If you were to cut it off, juice would leak out, the fruit would become dry and taste worse. * Second, it serves as an indicator of health. If the stem is green and stiff, that means the pineapple is in good shape. If it's brown, crusty, decayed, pulls off easily, etc that means that the pineapple is ripe/rotting. * Lastly, you can plant it and grow a new pineapple plant! That's how I made my garden. Cut the pineapple about a quarter inch below the stem, so that the stem has a disc-shaped bulge at the bottom. Plant it about 3-4 inches deep. As long as it's warm and wet, pineapples will tolerate just about any kind of soil. EDIT: Fun fact: While most plants produce fruit every year, pineapple plants only produce fruit every third year. Not so fun fact: I found out the hard way that you can be allergic to pineapple plants without being allergic to the fruit. Apparently [they are immunologically distinct]( URL_1 ). Five minutes of working in my garden is enough to make me start itching; fifteen minutes will make me break out in hives. EDIT 2: [Here]( URL_0 ) are some pictures of about half of my garden.

[ "A carbohydrate is what it sounds like: a chemical made out of carbon, oxygen, and hydrogen arranged in a certain pattern called a sugar molecule. The “carbs” that we mean when we say carbs in an everyday sense are single sugar molecules (monosaccharides), pairs of connected sugar molecules (disaccharides), or chains of sugar molecules connected together (polysaccharides). Simple carbs are the first two things, while complex carbs are the third. Fiber is also a polysaccharide (a long string of sugars connected together), but we can’t digest it, so it doesn’t really count as a carb even though it is a sugar in a chemistry sense. When we eat carbs, they are broken down into simpler things that have less energy (through a process called glycolysis). We are able to harvest some of this energy lost during the chemical reaction in a way that allows us to make two energy currencies in the body: ATP and NADH. Your body can also use other things like fat and protein for energy, but breaking down carbs through glycolysis is one of the main ways our body gets energy from food when we eat a conventional diet." ]

[ "Resonance is the frequency at which an object likes to vibrate. For example, guitar strings make different sounds when you pluck them because they naturally vibrate at different frequencies due to being different thicknesses. If you shorten any of the strings, it will also make a higher pitch. Resonant frequency is related to the inverse of the length of the vibrating object. This is because the inverse of frequency is wavelength, and if the wavelength matches the length of the vibrating object, there will be resonance. So if you force a vibration at a particular frequency, the object will vibrate better the close it is to its resonant frequency. In fact, if the it is exactly its resonant frequency, and there is no damping, the object's vibrations will getting larger and stronger indefinitely! Think about pushing someone on a swing. They are swinging at a certain frequency. If you push them close to that frequency, their swinging will get bigger. This resonant frequency is how singers can supposedly break wine glasses with their voice, why washing machines will shake the floor when spinning at a certain speed, and why microwaves can heat up water molecules. It is particularly imporrant when designing bridges and tall buildings, because the right frequency caused by the wind or and earthquake can do a lot of damage.

A well trained singer can hear the pitch they are supposed to hit, and know if their voice is slightly high or low (sharp or flat) and adjust as they go. They also hit the notes at the correct times, not late or early, and hold them for the full duration they’re supposed to. A poor singer may not know they are slightly out of tune, they may be slightly early or late on notes, bend into pitches rather than stepping into them, or cut notes short. On a more advanced level, a good singer will adjust their volume to match the shape of the melody. They may add vibrato on long notes. They’ll definitely breathe in between phrases, not in the middle of them. Poor singers may try to add too much vibrato, or add runs/extra notes to cover the fact that they’re not comfortable." ]

I mean, imagine having the feeling that you don't belong in society? You're going to find someone to blame. (This is the anecdotal part, please don't delete this comment) Personally, as a young-ish white male, I don't agree with the alt right movement but I completely understand where they're coming from. I will fully admit that there has been more of a push for inclusion, but the fact is that most of the jobs are still given to white males." ]

[ "This varies a lot. The props department is often tasked with finding phones for the actors. Buying new phones is expensive, especially since the phones is going to get abuse on set and might not survive. They also need to disguise the phones so you can not determine the brand of the phone as that could get them in trouble with the manufacturers. So it is much easier to get something they have in storage that they got for cheap some time back and is already made unrecognizable in the last movie it appeared it. Sometimes there may even be stunt replicas of these phones made already. Other times they may even do it simpler and let the actor use his own phone since he have it on set already and just make sure the brand is not shown. The texting and computer displays is also quite different. Again you would not want to show anything that could get you in trouble with well established brands. You also need to make sure the screen is clear of any clutter like the clock (unless required by the plot), alerts, unused buttons, portraits, etc. that would make the screen harder to read in the few seconds it is shown on camera. You also need to be able to let the actor do one thing and the phone do another thing and make sure it is repeatable for different takes. You may also theme the screens to better fit the movie or TV show. All this would be hard to do with authentic software. You might use authentic software for the initial consent but then recreate it with your modifications so it is easier to do on screen." ]

[ "Interest rate is how much you pay every time period (weekly, monthly, yearly) that you have not paid back a loan or debt principal (the amount you borrowed). You can convert weekly, bi-weekly, monthly or yearly rates into each other. A rate of return is how much an investment of $x turns into $y. I.e., if you invest (or better for this example, lend out to someone) $100 and after some period your investment is now worth, or you receive back from the loan $110, your return is $10. Your rate of return is $10/$100 or 10%. If you're the bank, your rate of return on a loan you give out is the sum total of all the interest calculated on that loan, expressed as a percentage of the principal. Note that an interest rate isn't the same as the interest amount. The total interest you pay on a loan or a debt depends on the interest *rate* in conjunction with how frequently the interest is calculated and whether it compounds or not." ]

You can't give unlimited gifts to people without paying taxes, because to the government, that looks really suspicious. If I remember correctly, the present rules in the US are, you can give individuals up to $14k per year as gifts ($149k for your spouse if they're not a US citizen, unlimited if they are), and if you give any one person more than that, it counts toward a $5.5M lifetime gift limit. If you go over that lifetime gift limit, the giver has to pay a gift tax. (Paying for someone's education or medical care doesn't count toward the limit; neither do contributions to charities.) There are also things you can do like owning land in common with someone else; in that case (and remember, this is ELI5 chat, not legal education), when you die, the property stays with that person, instead of going into your estate to be divided up according to your will. Anyway, even if you do all that stuff, it doesn't necessarily prevent legal fighting afterwards. Inheritance law has ins and outs." ]

So while it is natural to think of the time since the Big Bang as a bunch of galaxies expanding out into empty space - in which case the universe would, as you say, be only 27.4 billion years across - the expansion of space *itself* means the galaxies have moved farther than that. There are some problems with it, but the 'spots on a balloon' metaphor is pretty good... the galaxies are moving away from the Big Bang, but space itself is expanding too.

[ "Government debt is much more like Corporate debt than personal debt. As individuals we're taught that debt is bad and we should do everything we can to get out of it. While Companies and Nations borrow money all the time and it's a perfect sane and reasonable thing to do so long as you don't go too far. One economic theory goes that the government should borrow money during a recession. By putting money into the economy, creating projects and jobs, the government is helping the economy get running again. The government makes it's money through taxes so it's said that for every dollar the government spends it gets 60-70 cents back in taxes. The stronger the economy, the more money the government brings in. So in the short term it's better for everyone if the government borrows money to help get the economy rolling. Where-as if the government doesn't borrow money it instead needs to perform austerity measures, which means cutting back programs to save money. This in turn cuts back on jobs and programs that people need to survive, which makes the crisis worse and makes it last longer. Another factor is much of the savings industry is built on Government debt. Pension plans, 401k's, life savings, etc are heavily invested in Government Bonds because it's a very safe investment. So even though the government is borrowing money from Joe Taxpayer, Joe does get something out of it. Both in the very programs that are being paid for by that debt, and by the interest he makes on his savings." ]

[ "Your perception of debt seems to be slightly confused. No offence. After all, that's what ELI5 is for. It might be easier to explain debt from the other side: the lender. So, say a bank lends 100 people $100 each for one year. They charge 10% interest. This is obviously massively simplified, but it'll do. Now let's assume that 80 of those people pay back their debt, fine, no issues. The bank receives $8,800. 15 people pay it back, but pay it back late. The bank has to get this money back, and so this costs them $2 per person. So, in total, the bank receives $1,620 from those people ($100 original loan + $10 interest - $2 for the cost of getting that money back x 15 people). Finally, 5 people never pay it back. For whatever reason, the bank simply can not get any of that money back. So, that's $0. In total, the bank lent $10,000 and received $10,420 back after a year. Because banks lend money to borrowers from other people who save money with the bank, the bank has to pay some interest to those savers. Let's say they pay 3% interest. That's $300 to those savers. This leaves the bank with a profit of $120. This despite the fact that 5 people simply never repaid any money back to the bank. Does this example answer your question?

[ "One I'm qualified for! Amazon's pricing stuctures are a little weird sometimes. (I'm going to stick to dollars for this, for simplicity's sake, but there's an equivalent -- but not necessarily equal -- structure in place for every currency.) First, let's talk sales. Basically, you get paid 70% for the sale of your book, *if* your book is priced between $2.99 and $9.99. If it's not, you get paid 35%. That means that for a book that's priced at $0.99 needs to sell six times as many copies as one that's priced at $2.99 to get the same amount of money in your account. This is basically a form of protective price fixing, both for Amazon the seller and the writers; it stops writers engaging in a sort of 'race for the bottom', where they're continuously trying to undercut each other. So what about Kindle Unlimited? Well, as other people have said, we get paid based on how much reading is done. KU has a bigass pot attached to it. This month, for example, it's twenty million dollars. All of the books in the Kindle Unlimited program have their pages-read counted, and the pot is divided between them. This usually works out at a little less than half a cent per page. (By my loose calculation, a 'page' from Amazon's perspective is about 150 words.) This doesn't sound like a lot -- and it isn't -- but it can add up. However, this is Amazon's second swing at making a KDP system that worked; it used to have a different approach. What we call KDP 2.0 (the current system) works on a per-page basis. The old system, KDP 1.0, worked on a per-borrow system. If you downloaded a book and read more than 10% of it, the authors would get a fixed price -- usually around $1.35 -- *no matter the length of the book*. This was controversial among certain sections of the author community, because a 6,000 erotic short story would earn you the same amount as that 600,000 page fantasy novel that someone had worked for years on. (I was in the former group, so I wasn't exactly pleased when the new rules came in, but what can you do?) This had a big impact on the romance writing community in general, with a lot of us jumping ship from erotic shorts (which was where the money used to be; KU 1.0 made it very easy to make a living if you hit the right niche) to full-length romance novels. The other important thing to remember is that signing up for the KU program grants Amazon exclusivity over your work -- you're not allowed to sell it elsewhere for a three month period, recurring as long as you stay in the program. You're not even allowed to give it away for free. That means that they don't have to worry about people getting your book elsewhere, so if you're popular, they're getting a bigger cut. Even if they take a bit of a loss on KU in general, it helps to keep them the dominant force in epublishing by squeezing other publishers out of the marketplace." ]

Because of their mindset, all they cared about the cash on the books at the end of each quarter. In order to get cash on the books when they had none, they devised many accounting tricks to increase the cash on the books and decrease losses. Not in reality, just in reporting. For example, they would sell portions of loss making subsidiaries, where there was some weird rules like if they sold a tiny fraction of the subsidiary, then they won't be the owners and not have to report the losses. Something like sell 7% of a electric plant and not have to report loses of that. In addition, the would write down all potential gains in the first year of contract. Like if they had a contract in 1997 to provide water to a region for 7 years, they guessed your much money they would make from that over the seven years and book all the potential profits in the first year.

Back to the selling assets, their CFO, while CFO, started a hedge fund which would be the place that Enron would sell their fractions troubled assets. As CFO, he was able to negotiate both sides of the deal, and because Enron was desperate to unload losses from their sheets, they would sell at a very bad price for Enron, and a great price for the hedge fund. Many of the investors in the hedge fund were employees of Enron, or bankers who wanted to do business with Enron (the CFO would give them preferential treatment).

[ "These types of stickers is designed so that they are quite hard to make yourself. You can not just print them out on a printer but they need to be printed on a press with a very expensive type of die with specific microgroves in them to make the exact fine texture that gives it these effects when seen in different light conditions. So you either have to develop some sort of new technology or you need to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on making such a die. However when you have that die you could print them out in the millions. This is why it is cheap for manufacturers to make these stickers but very expensive for forgers who only need to make a handful of them." ]

[ "Standard deviation (SD) - representation of how far away from the sample mean a score is. For example, sample meam of IQ is 100 and SD of 15. If I scored 1 SD above the mean, that means I have an IQ of 115. Confidence intervals (CI) - how sure are you that the score you received was an actual case and not just a false positive. Most are set at 95%. Which means, depending on the statistical test you are running, sets you're cut off for accepting or rejecting the null hypothesis. P. Value is just another way of saying the CI. P values are typically used in the results and the discussion. It allows the reader to interpret the results without writing it all out. So you have a CI of 95%, your p. value would be .05. It is saying there is a 5% chance you are wrong. Or that every 20th test you run will result in a false positive." ]

[ "To calibrate a molecular clock, you need something that's known and dated, like a fossil from the specific species in question. Then, once the rate of mutation is determined, you can calculate the divergence of species, although it's not always that easy, because mutation rates can fluctuate which leads to some degree of uncertainty. This can be minimized if you have more fossils from different time periods to look at, but that's not always possible." ]

[ "All the wavelenght have energy that you can feel as heat on your skin if it's powerful enough. There is two phenomenon that happen, which will explain how you perceive it. 1) Our eyes can detect a portion of light wavelenght. We call that visible light, but the wavelenght themselves have no special value except that our eye can see them. We can see red, but not infrared. 2) Everything with energy emit electromagnetic waves as radiation. That wavelenght that any object emit depend on it's temperature. Look at your oven heating element. It's glowing red because it reach a specific temperature so it radiate in dark red. A fire have a higher temperature so it radiate orange/red. A plasma torch have an even higher temperature and will look blue. Well the same thing happen with object colder. At room temperature object still have energy that they radiate, but they radiate in the infrared. That's why we think of infrared as the heat signature, because you can see the infrared that everyday object and people emits." ]

[ "Evolution. Cow's milk is supposed to come straight out the udder and into the calf's mouth. There is no preservation needed besides sitting in the cow:s stomach for a few hours where there are things to help fight disease anyway although these die quickly and without replenishment the bacteria can spread easily. Plant products however, are either made in a factory, and so are made in a relatively sterile environment in terms with the law of the country. In which case the bacteria has to get into the milk and then start multiplying which takes time, especially when the lid is never opened. So the only bacteria is the tiny amount inside already, which takes ages to grow enough to become harmful. Milk made by plants for plants ie coconut milk is designed to last a long time. So the anything placed in the milk by the plant to fight bacteria also lasts along time, so it has the best chance of keeping long enough for the plant, or offspring or whatever, to use" ]
