A cool guide of commonly believed myths
  • If you throw it in just before it's boiling yes, you will see the water bubble up for a moment for the reason you said... once dissolved if anything at those amounts, it raises the boiling temp a little

  • Italy bans planes that search for migrant boats from using airports
  • Since italy pays those countries to "guard their coasts", there have been many instances where peoples were forced to board these ships and "charity ships" were notified before hand in a sort of human-traffic type of business that makes profitable to enlarge the issue, there are multiple sides to these stories, It's not that simple unfortunately...not that I agree with what Italy is currently doing rn of course

  • Got tracked down for my school reunion
  • I kinda agree with you, being impossible to contact is probably unachievable in today society...Isn't it more important to avoid sharing more personal information, like your exact location history with Google? (or pls explain me the downvotes)

  • If hot air rises, why is it colder at the top of a mountain?
  • Yeah "dissipate away" is probably a bit misleading but I meant that the heat source is mainly the surface since it's difficult to heat the thin outer layers directly, and from there heat moves up thorough ir radiation or adiabatic expansion. But it's not like mountains are cooled down by adiabatic expansion, since the air wouldn't move up without a temperature gradient, which means that it cannot get colder that the mountains already are. So I would think they are simply farther away form surface heat radiation and have thinner air that don't assorb heat...

  • If hot air rises, why is it colder at the top of a mountain?
  • Without checking, I would say that it's because the heat dissipate away from the planet and the hot air will eventually cool down while rising? My understanding is that it's hot near sea level because it's where the heat from the sun gets reflected and radiated from the earth surface, correct me if I'm wrong...

  • Google-Amazon connection?
  • Still haven't got around installing Lineage on my phone to get rid of Google there

    I'm going through that right now, definetely worth it, but it can be quite a job on some devices, have a spare phone ready when you start :)

  • Deleted
    You all don't want real unpopular opinions. You want edgy opinions that aren't mainstream that you agree with.
  • I feel you, but I think that however clear you make its usage, people will still use it to express their opinions and others will get hurt... Personally if a post gets downvoted (not reported) I feel like it's a good thing, it means that there's a discussion, and we're here for that isn't it? Making clients that make you feel less bad for downvotes would probably help, but I don't want it to end up like YouTube...

  • #NoEstimates (Allen Holub)
  • I've always thought estimates were a problem in programming, but now that we have switched to agile with sprints its almost comical, they hurt development in so many ways... People start to give all the value to time and completed tasks, and 0 value to what they're actually doing.

  • Removed
    More couples are choosing a ‘dual income, no kids’ lifestyle
  • Thanks much better, however "Correlation does not imply causation" which is obvious in this case (and as the source itself say, the correlation is probably about education instead etc). The problem is much more complex and trying to explain it with a simple correlation is a bit naive, however you can't deny how much of an economic struggle raising a kid is for the average income family....
