Hello, I want to build a sort of a sock loom for myself. There might be some that I could buy, but none that really, really fits what I want to do. The pegs for these looms can be either plastic or metal. I am attaching a photo with 3 types of pegs. I need an advice about the holes for the...

In my family it happened the other way around. My grandfather liked to tinker and he continued until he died at 90. My grandmother was the working type. By the time she was 60 she was already in the advanced dementia group. Moreover, none of her brothers and sisters developed dementia, neither...

Haven't head of them until now, but I'll be doing some research and support them if they do what they say they do.

I wonder if it's possible to build the mouse pad part as a detachable module. I'm sure it can be turned off, but it's just a nuisance to even have it there. And if they make it detachable, maybe they can find a way to position it anywhere at all. I'm right-handed, but a chance encounter with a...

My point about ADHD is that it's main feature is that you cannot choose on what to focus even when you know on what you should be focused - even when you want to actively choose on what to focus. Such a trait or imbalance or whatever you wish to name it is not helpful in any environment. If it...

If humans as they are now represent merely a blink in evolutionary terms it's amazing that we so quickly selected against those very traits that would help our survival as a species - ADHD is not the norm, after all. Snark aside, not everything can or should be explained in evolutionary terms.

Large chunks of plastic which pass unchanged are unlikely to harm you. Why, both my kids are still alive for all the occasional toy parts they swallowed! Microplastics buildup in, say, your arteries or ovaries on the other hand? It would be something if we would drove ourselves to extinction...

And in many other places, I'm sure. But it won't help if you want to study 6th century European history. For that you have to dig right there.

This argument again. First cousins marriage is not an issue where it's not actually the norm. In Europe the total is less than 5%, I'm sure. I read that somewhere, but I don't remember where, I'm sorry. Anyway, the point is that first cousins marrying and then having their offspring marrying...

No. They are dangerous. Jade is porous - bacteria and fungi will remain in it and multiply. Even if you wash it, if it's not completely dry, then it can pick up bacteria and fungi that float freely around us. The result being that those women would be messing up their normal vaginal flora which...

It doesn't matter how many children you have if they all die before reaching the age at which they can reproduce, does it? So by your argument, if the bigger brain in parents allowed more offspring to survive and reproduce, then bigger brain won the day.

If she would target men with the same interests as those women she might sell even more. About 30% of those who drop off children at the nursery, school, or the day care center are men. Any business who ignores 30% of its prospective customers is not well run. But - and it might be important -...

I suspect it's not that all major businesses desire to have any ties with the Russian government, but that the Russian government will come for a chat if you grow beyond a certain level or if you do things that are especially interesting for said government.

I am genuinely envious that you can imagine such a bright future. For start though, astronauts today are not chosen as the best from a large applicant pool. They are chosen as the best for purpose from ex-military personnel from US and Russia - mostly. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_s...

How old are you? There's nothing - absolutely not one damn thing - which can prevent young people doing something or having access to something. Let's talk about IRA and the Basque nationalists - how do you think they managed before the internet? Drugs? Conspiracy theories believers? If only...

For a while now I haven't been bothered about passwords written down on post-it notes. Same password everywhere, self-emailed passwords, spreadsheets with user / password, shared accounts etc are infinitely more worrying.

If you're Virtue Signalling and you know it, clap you're hands! If you're Virtue Signalling and you know it, clap you're hands! If you're Virtue Signalling and you know it, then you're face will surely show it! --- What? I'm teaching my kids English :D

So after a chat and a lunch with Macron (president of France) Putin suddenly changed his tune. Must've been some lunch! I wonder what the French said to him.

Beautiful Sunday article. Thank you :D

It might hit them hard or it might not. People still want cars so they'll buy gasoline, not diesel. When that will be forbidden they'll buy hybrid or full electric. Also, as one who has lived in the country side all over EU, the public transportation is decent enough in most areas, both in the...
