  • What's your favourite historical photo and why?

    Jump

  • The method for the color photos is interesting. He used three images with 3 colored filters on them. The film was black and white but when the same color was projected with them and they were added together you got the original colors.

  • Your brain uses assumptions to fill in missing data like the blind spot in your retina.

  • The "Pale Blue Dot" image of earth taken by Voyager 1. Carl Sagan pushed to have Voyager take a parting shot before they turned off the camera. The earth is about one pixel in size.

  • Well said

  • Why isn't police mental health a concern?

    Jump

  • Seeing people at their worst, victims of violence, shootings, car accidents, mothers screaming over a dead child, etc it is no wonder they become cynical and some turn to drugs or alcohol. People will lie to their face, have a bloody knife in their hand or a home packed with stolen goods and say they didn't do it. They need mental health care as much as vets.

  • This might push me over the edge to trying home linux. I use RHEL at work all the time. I just want to still be able to use Steam and Runescape.

    Have you ever traveled outside of America? (Not to Canada or Mexico)

    Jump

  • The US is huge and there is a lot to see. I know working class people who only travel as far as they can drive in a day trip. As far as America being "the MOST dangerous country outside of warzones" while it is popular to badmouth where you live (familiarity breeds contempt) I've never felt my life is in danger anywhere in the US. On the other hand I don't go into areas likely to be crime ridden and these exist in other countries too.

    Yes, lots of Americans don't go beyond the Carribean and don't have passports simply because they can spend a lifetime traveling around North America. They in turn have lots of stereotypes of all the places they've never been. People think the French are all horribly hostile snobs, I found them friendly, Turkey was like Midnight Express, ummm, no, and China is a police state with agents following your every step, nope. I was more worried about wandering off and getting lost than anything else in China.

    most of the world is in fact freer than them, has a better system in place for their people, and doesn’t have some of the major problems that America has

    Very debatable. Every country has its own issues and restrictions. Turkey is an autocracy for instance. Vietnam is a single party state with major corruption problems, etc. Switzerland is safe but very expensive. You seem to have a narrow view of the world.

  • Why does calorie counting work for weight loss and why are calories interchangeable?

    Jump

  • You are breaking calorie sources down into their biological dynamics. You need to compare calorie values with the carb/protein/fiber compositions. However, within the grouping of carbohydrates and fats you are dealing with a thermodynamic CICO situation because their metabolism is exothermic. Proteins undergo gluconeogenesis (turning them into glucose) which is a net energy loss but requires very low blood sugar levels to trigger it.

    I agree that nutrition labels are pretty limited in how accurate they can be and how much room for analysis is left. Since I do a lot of my own cooking I'm forced to do a lot of estimating. I've found the best rule for myself is to watch portion sizes, stay a little hungry and keep carb heavy foods to a minimum.
