Talk about over extending an issue. The vast majority of the boycott stems around developing countries lack of sanitisation options. This has little to do with baby formula itself.

Let's destroy the reputation of a product that helps millions of babies and the stern non-use might actually be harming some babies, so we can put a maybe tiny dent in one of the biggest food companies in the world! Never mind all the other companies that make formula!

Yay! What a great idea!

How about they focus their charitable efforts in to providing cleaner sources of water in those developing countries instead, seems a tad more useful.

Interesting but not terribly useful without context (on the smaller scale, 1L of vodka is pretty easy to understand).

How much venom does a hornet typically release in one attack? Obviously not the lethal dose but still, it'd be more interesting to visualise how many hornet stings it takes to kill me.

How much caffeine in a typical cup of coffee? How much salt in an average wrap? etc

Well I'm glad she added that Pokemon Go has a fairly reasonable model, I feel like that was the strong hand of Nintendo.

If you take away location differences, which there is a glaring issue with at the moment. Two players in the same reasonably supported area, the major difference in needing to spend money is how much you want to walk and that's the core of the game.

So if you want to play the game as designed (with no false limitations), you can generally play for free.

She's also not wrong that because of all that, I actually was inclined to make a purchase, it was small and I spent it on the non-expendable upgrades but I've been pretty anti-freeium in the past, so it was a big step for me to give such a game money.

I think Pokemon Go has certainly obliterated that 1-2% pay money statistic. I'm positive reports will eventually show it had a much higher stat.

It's not a saint, you can still gain a sizeable advantage by spending a lot of cash and these elements are still very much targeting the addiction of whales (expendable, short durations, element of luck with egg hatching). But it is a refreshing change for how they treat the "other" group of players.

I don't think the purpose here was really about being tricked or not. These are illusions, people know their eye/brain are being tricked.

He just wanted a deeper understanding of "Why?" the eye is tricked, which far less people would be aware of.

The spinning thingy you may be able to "see the trick" because it's a rather raw implementation. I don't think you can say you can "see the trick" of a normal movie, you just know it's made of still images in quick succession.

The Professor does say the eye has the ability to tweak the parameters, so perhaps this is what your experiencing but I don't believe it goes as far as you being able to just stop your eyes from being eyes.

Or maybe you've got super powers?

You call stating and exercising your rights as returning harassment?

The thing is, you don't fight an issue on one front. This is one method of exposure and it is perfectly effective and reasonable.

It can supplement other contributions or just get people interested in a topic they might not have known existed if they had to start with something substantially more dense.

Not every expenditure of energy needs to change the world or solve a problem. Some things are good for their own purpose and are justified by just that.

Why does it matter if he's specifically doing it to bait them? It doesn't change what they should know and how they should behave, there is a clear example with the sergeant, it's night and day.

Consecutively and also without puking it back up.

What does it matter how he was acting or even what his motivations were?

He didn't break the law and was unlawfully arrested.

If you feel the need to justify police behaviour because the victim "just shouldn't have done that", you've already long lost the argument, give it up.

That's all fine but it's ignoring something.

Expensive wine isn't expensive for no reason, there are real world costs such as length of ageing, barrels used, location made etc. If you don't like the taste of this process, that's one thing but it doesn't invalidate the cost of the wine.

Agreed, that was an absolute jumble. The 5min video you linked is substantially clearer.

You're right about one thing, I definitely did close my mind more to those idiots.

I like how they brush "anecdotal evidence" off as some cop out answer but then in their bio they claim they're promoters of "good science".

I suppose what the random mum attributes the death of her child must be taken as credible. The rest is irrelevant because the stupid in the first few paragraphs invalidates me taking seriously the rest of the content.

Don't forget if you're drinking it frequently every day, the effect of alertness is diminishing and while you may have caffeine in your body hanging around at bed time. The "alertness" effect shouldn't really be that strong.

I can drink a cup within 3hrs of sleep and be ok for bed, so for me, the drop off effect is pretty quick. Of course the effect for you may be quite extended

If you're having trouble sleeping, you should try "winding down" exercises to see if it's really coffee or if you just keep yourself over simulated. The basics of it is *zero* screens 45mins before bed, no phones, no tv, no tablets etc, throw in a slow breathing exercise (a good start is 6-7 breaths per minute, work your way down to 4-5) for 10-15minutes, nose only.

Did I miss something here?

How is the mission nulled when we're trying to decipher the laws that make *our* Universe the way it is. This is still a highly valuable piece of information, it's not like we need to just give up on that because "other Universes" also may or may not exist.

If Universes exist in complete isolation from one another, it is absolutely irrelevant what laws govern those Universes, they will never effect us and we will never effect them.

Even if they didn't, it would seem suggestible that we would never want to ever have anything to do with any other Universe, as the results of any combination of the smallest detail may lead to an unraveling of both Universes.

I don't think it's really that bad to come to the correct answer in 10, even 15 minutes to what is essentially a vague guessing game?

Numbers in ascending order isn't really a Black Swan scenario, this isn't something people couldn't fathom existing, it's just an arbitrary rule he decided on in a system all the people were familiar with, numbers.

All it really showed was people are slow to activate their critical thinking skills when randomly stopped in the street, once they get warmed up with a few throw-away guesses, there reasoning becomes more complex.

I don't see anything unusual about that, especially since half the problem was actually just deceptive word play.

Neapolitan shake seems perfectly reasonable, you're not really changing the amount of shit your ingesting, it's just 1/3rd of each flavour.

Mixing up different meats and all that is just gimmick, no one actually eats that shit other than for a laugh. My friends and I ordered a Double Triple Cheese Burger (6 patties, a lot of cheese), just to say it really. Guess what, the staff have heard everything a million times, they don't laugh with you they think you're a moron and they make you your stupid request so that you might get a heart attack sooner and not bother them any more.

P.S. It tasted terrible.
