Thanks heaps for that explanation. It's made a lot more sense now. :)

Hi all, I tried asking this question over the r/AskScience in Reddit (wasn't approved) and I've tried googling the answer as well so I'm repeating my question here in the hopes that someone with a background in physics can help me. I'll just copy paste what I put on reddit: I'm trying to expand...

I'm a little bit hesitant to mention my hated movie due to it having consistently high reviews on various sources, but I will says it's 'Furious 7'. I wanted to give up on the movie every 5 minutes but felt obliged to watch it; otherwise feeling I wasted $6 renting it (which was nonsensical...

Super Smash Brother N64. I become Neo in that game.

Just had a spending spree on ebay on a few books: - The Wisdom of Insecurity: A Message for an Age of Anxiety by Alan W Watts - The Tao of Pooh & the Te of Piglet by Benjamin Hoff - The Dragons of Eden by Carl Sagan Can't decide which one to start first when they eventually arrive on my...

This strategy in this article always made sense to me: http://www.stevepavlina.com/blog/2006/04/how-to-get-up-right-away-when-your-alarm-goes-off/ Basically involves repeating the 'waking up' routine enough times whilst you're in a relaxed (but alert) state similar hoping that by repeating it...

This is why I don't watch sitcoms like How I Met Your Mother, Big Bang Theory etc. Way too predictable. Most of the time given the context of a situation I can predict people's questions just after they open their mouths; nothing is more annoying to me when I answer a question just as the...

Yeh, I was thinking of the business-side. Normally I keep an ear out for how a foreigner might gain employment within Japan outside of the norm of the english teacher route.

Thanks for the heads up! I wasn't aware of the 4 horsemen having that much influence in the states up until now (I thought Fox news was their perfect equalizer). May I ask what you're up to in Japan? Thanks.

This is a rare show for me in that I've tried to get hooked on it but to no effect (made it to episode 6). I find it hard to sympathise for any of the characters or their stories when the show focuses on their heavily repetitive flaws.

Out of curiosity which country do you live in? I always assumed most people on the forum lived in the U.S. and that Christianity was a steady powerhouse within it? I don't think I have any concrete dreams or goals. I don't really have a passion in life, which makes finding out what to do with...

I wasn't sure of where to post this thread but anyway... My first world problem of the day is... food - or the lack of its variety available to us. Apparently there's close to 8.7 million various species of life forms on this planet; but every time I go shopping I feel like I'm subjected to the...

I've played a whole range of games. Whilst I'm nostalgic about the classic N64 games I'm at my most comfortable with WoW and minecraft. Both games allow me to sit back, relax and play at my own pace. I like games where I can customise my character/environment enough so that I can set my own...

Pretty much verbatim with me as well Bock. But I'm just starting to focus on my appearance to go to the store round the corner. Beginning to feel like I'm now on the extreme end of being introverted. When I tell myself at least I have my family, some reinforced thought kicks in along the lines...

This. And this: I'm always, ALWAYS anxious about something; no matter what time. Anxiety is also a trigger for me to pick my nails; I've never had the free margin/white bit on my nails extend more than 1mm (even since preschool; its never been given a chance to grow). But at the moment I'm...
