[ "When scanning the brain of someone with ADHD, you can see that it is actually under-stimulated, rather than over-stimulated like most people think. The hyperactive behaviors typical of ADHD are a result of the brain trying to achieve a balance in an external form, since that internal simulation is lacking. Caffeine (and ADHD meds that I know of) are internally stimulating substances. For someone who lacks that internal mental stimulus, that helps bring the brain up to a balanced state, so they don't need to get that from the environment, and we see a reduction in that adaptive behavior. (I know I said \"stimulus\" like 12 times, it's late. I hope that all makes sense!)" ]

[ "Greed. That lead to banks issuing loans to people who really could not afford them. The government continued to loosen restrictions and the lending got more and more easy. Eventually banks were tanking on more loans that they didn't feel were going to be paid back and so they bundled them together to sell as investment opportunities. You need to read that as a gamble for people to place a bet on someone will/will not pay their house back on time. Builders were watching the homes get bought up in droves and did what any smart capitalist would do: Tried to supply the ever growing demand. Eventually enough people stopped paying their 1st or 2nd mortgage to where the banks had to start answering for their debt. So, what does one do when they need to buy something they can't afford? They took out loans or leveraged their good assets against the debt. In a simplistic format the banks were following their risky and very much realized awful lending practices. They were doing exactly what their customers were doing by borrowing to afford what they couldn't in reality. Eventually the defaults grew and when the bank had to start paying those debts they couldn't. Now, in reality this isn't actually a crisis for the most part. The reason it collapsed is that Paul owed John who owed Mark....who owed Paul. The issue was that we dropped a lot of sensible legislation due to \"helping the economy grow\" when in reality those rules generally exist because of a crisis. We do this every so often and it almost always ends with a big big problem for the average person. We did it in the 20's, the 70's, 90's, and early 2000's. Why do we keep this cycle going you may ask? Because when those rules get relaxed a lot of people get filthy fucking rich before the bubble collapses." ]

[ "**lots** of reasons The American rail system is focused on shipping freight which it does very well. Westward expansion took over a century which meant it was difficult to plan where new population centers would be cropping up in relation to the older cities. Lobbying and scheming by motor companies to make America based around the car, the documentary *Taken for a Ride* does a good job covering this. Many states are mostly rural areas which negates the usefulness of light rail somewhat. And finally I think that many people just prefer the freedom and independence afforded by using automobiles." ]

Conspiracy theories appear to be a way of reacting to uncertainty and powerlessness. If you know the \"truth\" and others don't, that’s one way you can reassert feelings of having agency,” Swami says. It can be comforting to do your own research even if that research is flawed. It feels good to be the wise old goat in a flock of sheep.\" \"In 2010, Viren Swami and a co-author summarized this research in The Psychologist, a scientific journal.\" posted by FreshCircuit * The most obviously ignorant people are the ones who over simplify complicated models. They do this in hope that the world can make simple sense. Unfortunately the world is massive and chaotic, and a huge percentage of outcomes are primarily due to chance. It is often at this boundary that our most clever of individuals have their ignorant moments. And it is when they refuse to let go that we see anybody can become ignorant. While this is obvious in hindsight, it hurts to admit that any intelligent person can get locked in their own ideal conclusion given certain circumstances. None of us are perfectand thus none of us are immune. Even moreso when we prefer to use simple models for truths." ]

You get a job because many places, many, many don't care to e verify the documents or dont want to(cheap labor) 3. You can go to school (proof of legal status is not required, unless you want to apply for financial aid, grants, scholarships etc. If you want to apply for the above mentioned you need to privide a real social security number that belongs to you hence you cant apply for financial aid as undocumented. This has changed in the last years in few states i believe. California where i live being one of them. 4. Unfortunately as undocumented you cannot own property unless is co-owned by someone with a valid social security number. Unless you pay cash up front for it. Other forms of property such as cars, furniture, jewelry etc is normally financed through smaller businesses who take the risk and charge a much higher interest or bigger down payment for making such purchases. Banks also extend prepaid credit cards and you can use those to create your credit worthiness. Not one bank would issue a home loan if you are undocumented. Again unless you are an investor or you co-owned. 5. Undocumented immigrants pay income taxes. Yes , the irs issues you an itin number if you cannot provide a social security number. All you need is your birth certificate from your home country and your w2 . Once the irs mails your itin number you can use that number instead of a social security number to file taxes. ( worth noting that many undocumented immigrants have filed taxes and were deported or moved back to their home countries leaving behind unclaimed their social security contributions)" ]

What that means is that the government cannot restrict corporations from running partisan election advertisements, television shows, movies, etc. Previous to the ruling there were a lot of restrictions on how and when corporate entities could engage in campaigning during elections.

[ "You can totally build mechanical logic gates and build basic computing elements like half-adders and more complex stuff from this. There are videos out there of people having build stuff like this from Lego and similar. [(Example)]( URL_0 ) The problem here is that these tend to be big and clunky and if you add up enough of them to be useful you will get into real mechanical troubles very fast. Electrically you can use devices such a vacuum tubes to have the same function as transistors made from semiconductors and build logic gates out of them. Early digital computers were build out of large numbers of vacuum tubes which had the unfortunate side-effects of burning out all the time, limiting the working time of computers and were also quiet big making miniaturization hard. Analogue computers (both electrical and others) were never that popular and didn't really use logic gates as they were never really based on the on/off dichotomy but instead worked by using what may thought of a sliding scale of values for inputs and outputs. Before electronic computer became common mechanical computers exited that may be said to be digital after a fashion, but they generally did not use the modern logic gate based design. There were calculators based on cog and wheel designs that you could use to automate basic arithmetic operations. Leibniz (who simultaneously with Newton invented calculus) created a working model of a mechanical calculator which function by means of cleverly arranged gears, cogs and cranks to allow someone to do basic calculations. This design with refinements lived on up until the point where electronics became good enough to build handheld calculators. The famous [Curta]( URL_1 ) calculator is an example of this type of mechanical computers that were used up until the 1970s." ]

If you want blood to pool (rush) in your your lower body you just have to go past 1G. This happens to fighter pilots during extreme maneuvers. The result is you'll black out. Fighter pilots wear suits that literally squeeze their lower bodies and force blood back up to the rest of their system. Low blood pressure can also create this pooling affect. Blood rushes to your head while inverted bc your body is literally fighting gravity to get blood to your brain. If it suddenly has gravity doing that job for it, blood pools in the head and without gravity assist to leave, can also make you pass out. Part of the reason astronauts must be in peak physical condition. Too high or too low blood pressure in zero G environment could make you sick." ]

[ "To begin with, Illinois had a normal amount of debt for a state. Probably some parts of its debt are larger than average - for example, there's always a lot of talk about pensions for state workers. It also wasn't great about matching up taxes and revenue with the money it was promising to spend, so a long-term projection looked bad. Still, this was all within the realm of \"normal\" until 2014. In 2014, Republican Bruce Rauner was elected governor, but the Democrats kept control of the state legislature, led by House Speaker Mike Madigan. Madigan, it should be noted, has been House Speaker since 1983. So even if that's all you knew about the situation, you'd know that politicians in Illinois were in for a fight. In the red corner, Rauner came into office hoping to pursue a business-friendly agenda. He was a businessman himself before coming into office, and he talked about bringing businesses into Illinois by making it less expensive (lowering taxes on businesses, loosening some regulations, etc.). Rauner talked about \"corrupt union bosses\", and wanted to get laws passed that would take away bargaining power from unions. Republicans have been very supportive of Rauner, both because Rauner has donated his own money to other Illinois Republicans, and because they're a little tired of Madigan's control. In the blue corner, Democrats in Illinois have been union-friendly for a *long* time, and are not about to stop now. So the unions are solidly behind Madigan, and since Madigan has been House Speaker for so long, and has done so under both Republican and Democratic governors, Democrats are following his lead. What happened then? They couldn't agree on a budget. Rauner insists that any budget include some of his pro-business/anti-union agenda, and Madigan refuses. Democrats have control of the legislature, so they can pass a budget, but they can't get past Rauner's veto. Since 2014, Rauner and Madigan have been political chicken, refusing to be the first to back down. Everyone's angry about this, but Democrats are angry at Rauner and Republicans are angry at Madigan, so there hasn't been much movement toward compromise. The lack of a budget means that for a lot of things, even when Illinois is sitting on the money to pay for stuff, it doesn't have the legal authority to pay for it. The government has managed to pass a few stopgap measures that pays for a few things (most schools, keeping government offices open, paying for road repair), but there's a whole lot of bills going unpaid and *racking up interest*. On top of the unpaid bills and the interest they're collecting, Illinois's debt rating has fallen pretty low (I think it's now junk status, or close to it). That means that if Illinois wants to borrow more money, its interest rates are going to be *terrible*. Of course, the only way to dig your way out of a financial hole like this is to raise taxes or cut spending, so however this works out, it's going to be unpleasant and politically difficult." ]

There are a couple of techniques you can use to get both margins straight, and usually you use a combination of both: you can use hyphenation to break up longer words, and you can adjust the spacing between words, or between individual letters. In most publications you barely notice it, but newspapers typically use very narrow columns. Because they use such narrow columns, it's harder to get the text to justify correctly, and often words or letters are spaced out so far it becomes noticeable. In the days before computers were used to set type, this was done by hand, and it's a very difficult thing to get exactly right: newspapers had to be printed very quickly, so text justification was often done poorly. With modern technology, the process can be automated, but now the problem is getting the software to understand what looks neat and professional to a human, and what doesn't." ]

There may be plenty of calories available in our bodies, enough to last for days, but we get hungry when we run out of the \"easy to access\" energy and our blood sugar level gets low. Blood sugar levels have a certain safe range -- too low and we're weak, too high and the blood turns toxic. When we eat, blood sugar levels rise as food gets digested and sugars get added into the bloodstream. If it rises above a certain point, our body starts skimming off the top and putting the excess into fat. If it falls below a certain point, we get hungry, and if it falls even further, we start burning off that fat to return those sugars to the bloodstream. Hunger fades once the fat is burning and sugar levels rise. When the fat calories run out, we just get tired not hungry because the body is already in \"fat burning\" mode. As soon as we eat anything (edit: anything with any sugar), our body immediately stops burning fat and switches to using the incoming food instead. When that runs out, you get hungry again as part of flipping the switch back to fat use." ]

Back in the day, baseball fields were built wherever there was space, with as much seating as they could get in comfortably, with uniformity not really a big factor. Which is why you get big outliers in older stadiums, most famously Fenway Park in Boston, which was built to fit in a tightly-packed city and which famously had to deal with a very shallow left field by building an extra-tall wall called the \"Green Monster\" to compensate. So because of the history associated with those classic old parks, it was just sort of accepted that field dimensions would be more variable than other sports, which require standardized field sizes. Modern fields have to fit within a relatively small range for their outfield fences, but there's a grandfather rule in effect to keep old, historic parks like Fenway from having to be bulldozed. If you look at most fields built in the last two decades, they've been able to build away from city centers, where there's space for a nicely-shaped field and plenty of seating." ]

It's treated by Windows differently, and interrupts other functions for a moment - that's why it can work even when the OS is otherwise nonresponsive. Sometimes it's enough to give whatever was causing the hangup a push - it depends on a lot of variables and what was actually causing the application to stop responding." ]

[ "The *Republic of China* is a founding member of the United Nations. During the Chinese Civil War, the rival government calling itself the People's Republic of China defeated it and took control over most of Chinese territory. The Republic of China government retreated to Taiwan and its minor surrounding islands. Accordingly it is often called just \"Taiwan\" for short. Both governments agree that China should not be split up, and so there must be only one legitimate government of China. This is called the \"One China Principle.\" When other governments started to recognize the People's Republic as the legal government of China, mostly for the practical reason that it had actual control over nearly all of its people and territory, they could thus not also recognize the Republic of China (that is, Taiwan). That's also why the People's Republic replaced the delegation from the Republic of China in the United Nations, instead of both having seats." ]

Now imagine instead of pulling the whole ball, you just grab one part of it and pull it towards you. This will stretch out the dough. That's what causes the tides. Tides are not due *just* to the force of gravity from the moon. They're due to the fact that the force of gravity is weaker on the far side of the Earth and stronger on the close side of the Earth. The moon is effectively stretching out the Earth like pulling on a pizza dough. This is because gravity is stronger when you're close and weaker when you're far away. Now if you take a plant, which is approximately 250,000 miles away from the moon, the difference in this force of gravity between the close and far side of the plant is so miniscule it might as well be zero. But the Earth is thousands of miles wide... so there is a noticeably different force of gravity, which causes the moon to \"stretch\" the Earth out. And since water has no defined shape, we see this stretching mainly in the ocean's tides." ]

Mathematical skills, social ability, spatial reasoning, pattern recognition, logical reasoning, emotional regulation? How will you balance these factors to come to your final score? - You have to control for the effects of the obvious stuff like education, nutrition, how they were raised, economic standing, training, etc to hope to determine someones 'innate' intelligence. So before you can even start to figure it out scientifically, there are a lot of points of ambiguity and entryways for bias (unintentional or otherwise).

Secondly, eating less than this makes it difficult to get enough micronutrients, especially in the absence of medical advice/supervision. & #x200B; These things are also true of people who have had bariatric surgery, but the decreased metabolic rate is not such a big deal since their reduced stomach capacity makes it more difficult to eat more than this/regain weight anyway.

The energy transferred from the rope to your hand is constant. Now imagine someone tugging back and forth between the two ends. First it tugs one way, generates heat from friction, pauses, then tugs the other way, again generating heat from friction. This is analogous to Alternating Current (AC). The energy transfered from the rope to your hand is not constant. There is a pause between each tug. (AC) is how we transfer energy through electricity for most applications, and is exclusively how we transfer energy through electricity over long distances. It comes with significantly less energy loss. The problem is most uses of electricity need that energy delivered at a constant pace, such as DC. Well now imagine there are two ropes in your hand. As the end of one tug is approaching, the second rope starts its tug. By the time the end of the secind rope tug is coming up, you've begun the opposite direction tug of the first rope. While the energy transfer is not constant, it is a lot more constant than the single rope case, while maintaining the benefits of AC not having as much energy loss. Three phase electricity is three ropes, whose timing is evenly spaced out to provide even better constant energy transfer" ]

At the other end you have the final gear, it's extremely difficult to use this from a stop but once you're up to speed you can really get moving. The gear reduction in a cars transmission works on the same basic principal." ]

[ "Bitter/sweet is one of the oldest flavor combinations around! Many bitter substances have subtle flavor compounds that, by themselves, are overpowered by the bitter flavor. But sweet and bitter counteract one another, allowing a more subtle taste profile. That said, the cacao bean was actually used *long* before it was sweetened. Native cultures of the Americas (which is where the bean is originally from) made a bitter stimulant drink comparable to coffee out of it. Sweetening it was a European tweak made many centuries later." ]

[ "Imagine you started a country, Boilerville, and printed 100 Boilers Bucks. You do this because you stashed some a lump of gold somewhere, so each B.B. is worth 1/100 of the gold lump. People would start using that money for trade, investments, saving, etc. There might be times where people decide it’s a bad time to invest and your economy slows down as people hoard their money in savings. Why shouldn’t they? Each B.B. they have is 1/100 of the gold lump so there’s no harm in holding onto it, the value isn’t going anywhere. Eventually, the lack of investment starts to hurt your economy. As the ruler of Boilerville, you are under pressure that the economy isn’t growing because people aren’t investing. So you decide to release 10 extra B.B. without increasing the amount of gold you’ve stored. Suddenly, each B.B. is 1/110 a lump of gold and hoarding your B.B. is a bad strategy. So the hoarders decide to invest their money so they can at least have as much value as they might have lost. This is a gross oversimplification why most currencies are controlled to slowly devalue over time. Edit: this is gaining a lot of attention so I should bring some things up: “Devaluing” currency typically refers to international trade. Let’s expand my example and add another country Neighbortown with their currency Neighbor Nickels, which are also 1/100 a lump of gold. Devaluing can be good for a few reason: When we turn the value of a B.B. to 1/110, Neighbor Nickels haven’t changed value in terms of gold. Now one N.N. is worth more than a B.B. ...At first this seems like a bad idea for Boilerville, but it has other effects. The citizens of neighbortown now use their valuable money to buy things at a cheaper price in Boilerville. This helps the people of Boilerville because they’re doing more business. In economic terms, it raises Boilerville’s exports and Neighbortown’s imports. Let’s also say some businessmen of Boilerville borrowed money from their friends in neighbortown last week, before the devaluing. In their contract they said “give us 10 B.B. today so we can invest it and we’ll give you 11 B.B. next week with interest”. This seemed like a good idea to the neighbortown businessmen because they thought they’d make some money so they agreed. But, after the change, B.B.s went from 1/100 gold to 1/110 gold... and now the neighbortown businessmen got back the same amount of value they initially sent. By devaluing currency, debts shrink. Imports, exports, and debts are all very important in international trade." ]

The consider that a battery is not just a pot of chemicals. There are various components including a carbon anode, separator, exterior can etc. The quality of these affects the capacity and internal resistance of the battery. Edit to add: rechargeable batteries have even more variation because the robustness of different geometries to repeated cycling is not trivial to optimise." ]

[ "It all comes down to what nutrients your body needs. Take an orange, for instance (not the best stand-in for a taco, but it'll work.) Oranges are high in Vitamin C, so if your body starts running low on Vitamin C, that orange you pass in the grocery store is suddenly going to look *really* good. If your body really needs fat and salt, you're going to be rushing for whatever's the closest source of fat and salt, even if you don't feel that hungry. The same goes for protein, sugars, any vitamin or mineral, antioxidants, folate, or anything else your body needs. It's even true with water; if you're slightly dehydrated but you don't feel thirsty (like an astonishing number of people in the US today,) and someone sets down a glass of water and you take even one sip, that water will be gone before you have any idea what just happened, because your body knows that it needs it. That's also why pregnant women have such bizarre cravings; they're building a human, and as soon as they need some different building blocks to work with, their bodies start screaming for something that has that thing in it (like pickles and milk duds, which is one that I heard that might be apocryphal.) That's the normal way that cravings work, and it's the way yours likely works assuming that Taco Bell doesn't put anything in their food to increase the addictive appeal of it. But, nah, all fast-food places are upstanding and honest, right? No one puts crave-inducing agents in anything they're trying to sell a lot of.... Nope, not ever." ]

[ "I am not a doctor or pharmacist, but someone who has taken lots of Pepto and has researched this out of curiosity. Basically, most of those symptoms are caused by an inflammation in the digestive tract. Bismuth Subsalicylate, the active ingredient, helps reduce that inflammation. I say most because as I understand it, we don't really know why it works as an anti-diarrheal. Usually diarrhea is caused by your system flooding your intestines with extra water to attempt to cleanse itself. So it could be the case that Pepto helps your intestinal wall reabsorb that extra fluid. [Source]( URL_0 )" ]

[ "The faster you go, the harder it is to push through the air - and the relationship is not linear. So, going a little bit faster needs a LOT more power which means more fuel, bigger engines, more noise, etc. etc. Put your hand out of the car window at 30mph - easy. Now try 60mph - wow, the air is a lot more forceful! Now try 120mph (OK, don't really) you can't hold your hand up, the air is like a brick wall. At 600+mph you can imagine it's not easy! If you look at Concorde, it's a tiny cramped thing that burns massive amounts of fuel, which makes it expensive to run and you can't fit many passengers on it. Additionally, stuff happens the faster you go - stuff heats up, shockwaves happen, the whole airplane has to be made to withstand the extra forces & strains, lifespans of components get shorter, stronger stuff is heavier and bigger, etc. etc. *Please don't put your hand out the window and then sue me because you hit something*" ]

[ "First of all, I think two things need to be pointed out: 1) There are most likely aliens somewhere in the universe because of the size of the universe. 2) Again, because of the size of the universe, it is extremely unlikely that we will ever encounter aliens. I.e. life is probably extremely rare in the universe, but the universe is still so large that there is probably a lot of other life in it. Just nowhere even remotely near us. Now, as far as I remember, we have sent out stuff into space with messages in all kinds of languages and codes. Essentially a \"radio\" that broadcasts stuff for as long as it doesn't break. But the chances of this thing ever encountering anything? Almost nonexistent. Because of the low probability of ever encountering aliens, we have not generally made up any plans for how we would react to them. Of course we would try to communicate and the first response would probably be friendly, assuming the aliens aren't openly hostile. Making plans for an alien encounter would be like making plans for a snowstorm in Sierra Leone. It is assumed to never happen, so it is kind of pointless." ]

[ "I'm not sure if 6-Shogaol, Zingerone, and Gingerone, the compounds in ginger responsible for the feeling of heat, work in the same was as capsaicin, but I do know how the latter works and will go off the assumption they do but to a lesser degree. How it works is by lowering the temperature threshold for the heat sensing nerves in your mouth to fire. What this means is that lower temperatures than normal will \"trick\" the nerves into telling your brain that you are experiencing a hot temperature. When we eat foods with capsaicin in them, whats actually happening is the heat of our own mouths is making us think that our mouth is burning! If normal body temperature is enough to make your brain think \"Oh crap, whatever is in my mouth is super hot\", imagine what it does for substances were actually hot in the first place." ]

[ "ARM licenses the intellectual property for a line of small, low power microprocessor cores. They are used in most cell phones and tablets today. They are also starting to be used in server farms, because heat is a big deal in that application and their processing power/watt is good. A lot of companies wouldn't want ARM because they are incredibly expensive. Some companies wouldn't want it because if they owned ARM then other ARM users would bail and look for other solutions, making it much less valuable. Nvidia has great processors for graphics and artificial intelligence, but no general purpose processor. Until now. They can't really get into the x86 market, but unless you want to play in the PC space that isn't necessary. Having ARM gives them a full IP set for a lot of applications that are going to be big. They will also not only get the licensing revenue from other people using ARM, but they can also fuck over potential competitors." ]

[ "I guess it's because we need \"resolution\". For instance in music, you can't leave something tensed : after tension, you need a resolution. Same with your body : when you have something that hurts a bit when you touch it and you KNOW you could juts pop it, drain the pus and it would be fine, you do it because it releases the tension. Now, because you KNOW how it works with your body, when you see it in someone else's body it creates a tension : you see that white spot that is JUST ABOUT to burst and that creates a tension that you want to release, thinking \"if it was me, I would have popped that fucker a long time ago !\". So seeing someone do it brings a resolution to a tension and it soothes the watcher." ]
