Just Chat! / Re: If Putin decided or threatened invasion of the British Isles...

« on: 24/02/2022 23:34:33 »

If Putin decided an invasion of the British Isles, would the international community take a harder stance? Perhaps a physical course of action? Perhaps just stronger sanctions?

Short answer yes, but I never see one scenario where Russia invades British Isles, never forever..... it's logistically impossible

We'd die of laughter. For the USA to invade Britain from the sea is virtually impossible, it would need a land base such as Ireland or France.

The USA?

Yeah what happened here

That CAN'T be true! / Re: Are Flat Earthers really for real?

« on: 24/02/2022 23:31:33 »

Does anyone know a flat earther who would like a flight to the edge? Happy to share costs. Eastward from the UK is preferable for me - saves renting a life raft.

If were to believe the earth is flat I would be terrified of the idea of flying to end of one side, why? cuz then the earth would end and the space would start and now I would be floating in space xD..... that's what I imagine one of the reasons they would argue to not take a flight to the edge

Question of the Week / Re: QotW - 18.03.04 - Why does my nose run in cold weather?

« on: 08/05/2018 18:59:51 »

No takers?

Well, if i must!

Two things cause this:
- One of the jobs for the nose is to condition the air we breath warming it and adding moisture. Try breathing through your mouth and you will soon start to feel dry mouth and throat. In cold weather the nose has to work overtime because the relative humidity of the air is low, so the nose produces more moisture to condition the air. However, it can overreact and produce too much - drip, drip.
- this second effect depends on how cold it is, but air leaving the nose is warm and moist so if the end of the nostrils are cold the moisture will condense out - drip, drip.

I agree, I think I saw it in wiki as well. If you don't have a cold, then it's usually the overproducing of mucus or state change.

General Science / Re: What is God?

« on: 19/07/2017 18:17:48 »

I agree and I think that is why people need to really think about the logic and stuff the religious says using their knowledge. But still a lot of people are superstitious and believe in whatever a religious says...Some of them have limited knowledge and don't think logically... Anyhow, when people have been through a lot in their lives and at a point they want to look for answers that they cannot seek, they will always look for an answer through religious. Well thats not a bad thing if they choose to believe in what they want but at least don't do anything harmful to one another and hate someone just because of their different belief...
Anyways, here is a link that answers the question i googled.

Technology / Re: Is higher education outdated in the age of the Internet?

« on: 17/07/2017 17:14:08 »

I would say it's simple. Without high education, there won't be technology. So education will always be important and won't be outdated.

« on: 17/07/2017 17:11:33 »

Ya if you have stopped working out for a while and come back for it, you need time to get used to it. You will hurt yourself easily if you push yourself too hard and too fast. Just think and remind yourself that you are not a teenager anymore. We are all getting old.

I dont quite think so. Maybe our technology cannot support to make the frequency as low or as high as what we want it to be.
