The name’s the game: e-pit-helium. So basically helium, but the pit/nucleus is made of a localized standing waves in the electric field.
Usually protons and neutrons form the center of an atom, with the protons providing an attractive force that keeps the electrons in orbit. This charge does not need to come from protons to form an atom though, even if it usually does. In the case of epithelium, it’s a standing wave in the electrical field. This only works for smaller atoms, like helium, though.
I’m talking out my butt if that’s not clear by now.

I mean yeah, its kinda relevant here, but isn’t this just a more elaborate “my wife sucks” joke?
- Comment on Would it be weird to ask my brother if I could tag along when he goes out with his friends? 3 days ago:
Her brother is entitled to preferring to spend time with his friends without his sister. I wouldn’t say it’s weird he hasn’t asked her to join.

- Comment on Why does America feel the need to control the world? Do what they say? Instead of taking care of their own problems at home? When did the US become police officer of the world and enforcer? 1 month ago:
I’m German and went to the US for a year as a high school student.
My US history teacher literally told us that the US is the world police. Because of that I believe that many Americans think that way.

Sure, you might be fine. Statistically there is a difference, though.

Its not a total scam, I know some couples who met on dating apps. However, be aware that as a man your choice is limited. There are about 10 men for every woman on dating apps.
It can work, but honestly I think its easier to get to know people when I’m out and about. This depends on how outgoing you are, though, of course.

- Comment on Why do some people hate drinking water? 2 months ago:
Absolutely agree. It ia horrible how our governments allow corporations to use that backdoor to extract as much shareholder value from us as possible
- Comment on Why do some people hate drinking water? 2 months ago:
Honestly not sure where to start with this one.
I’m sure the blanket statement of needing to drink 2 liters of water is misleading in plenty of situations but I really don’t think this is what we should be focusing on. This is the last thing from the food industry that I’d consider propaganda. Not to mention that it’s really not a bad recommendation, and a 50 year old book 2 people wrote (no matter their qualification) isn’t really a solid foundation for an argument like this.
Of course water intake is highly individual. Athletes may drink 10+ liters per day, but most people are probably fine with just drinking when they’re thirsty.
I don’t think anyone is saying that 2 liters are necessary for survival. You can get away with much less. The thing is, it’s easy to drink more than enough, it has many benefits, and there isn’t really much of a downside to it. The 2 liters are a rule of thumb, not an exact required amount for everyone.
Regarding the beer, we know nowadays there is no amount of alcohol that is healthy. Sure, beer might be able to hydrate you when enjoyed in moderation, but it’s plain counterproductive when recommended as a healthy diet.

Hmm, interesting point. Thanks for sharing.
- Comment on Why do some people hate drinking water? 2 months ago:
Basically they’re people who got caught in the food industries propaganda.
They might consciously know they need regular water, but their body is now craving sugar with every sip. If it’s missing, it feels wrong.
Sugar needs to be much more regulated, especially for kids… Adults may be responsible enough to handle it but without regulation the industry will run wild and make everyone addicted.

I mean planned obsolescence is absolutely a thing, but
modern [microwaves] are prone to catch on fire
is a wild take that you better support with some kind of proof. Otherwise it just makes the rest of your (IMO valid) argument look bad.

As a junior dev with prior working experience, currently not working as a programmer, yeah. I can only agree.
We might understand AI won’t actually solve the same problems we are able to solve, but the people deciding budgets dont understand that.
- Comment on Can deliberate noise harassment still be a crime if it's done every day from 7:30 AM till 10:30-11:30 PM? 2 months ago:
I don’t really have any experience with situations like this, but I’d be cautious of suggesting such things. Worst case they don’t do anything, and something happens to the neighbor and suddenly you have a lot of trouble waiting for you.
I know here in Germany you can create a log of all the occurrences of your neighbor being loud, end if it is excessive a court can order your neighbor to be silent. If your neighbor then breaks the order, the police will actually do something. Not sure how things work in the UK tho

From what I gather after a quick web search it seems about 40% of the population does not snore, so I guess it is pretty common.

French and Italian will come relatively easy for you, the others are quite different. Personally I’d go with Arabic, but that’s just because there are many Arabic speaking people at my job.

Maybe we should rethink ownership as a concept. Is it really necessary? I feel like it causes a lot of trouble without solving much. Why can’t humans just properly work together in a society that shares resources with those in need?

All currently existing Klein bottles.
It seems obvious but I feel like specifying is necessary when talking about abstract things like 4d shapes.
- Comment on Economcial, Billionaires are the biggest threat to the free market 2 months ago:
There is no such thing as a free market IMO.
Either you have an unregulated market dominated by big players which isn’t free because of said big players, or you have a heavily regulated market, that gives a fair chance to anyone, but isn’t free at all because of the regulation.
The free market is an illusion, just like the american dream. Which shouldn’t be much of a surprise, seeing as the american dream builds off of the illusion of a free market and fair chances for anyone
