Ok imagine this scenario you are from another planet, an alien race and you come across Earth. You study humans, their behaviour, their thoughts, the way they live on Earth. Would you attack Earth and take it over so that your...

WebGal Of course, it depends on my race's situation - do we _need_ a place to live, and is Earth an ideal choice? But if I were on a 'contact' mission rather than a 'colonizing' mission, I'd contact Earth with a message along the lines of this: Hi, we're out here....

WebGal I just went back and read your follow-up about being worried about your car getting hit. Well, having your car damaged by reckless truck drivers, especially when you're legally parked...I can see feeling some major anxiety over that. If the person who...

WebGal If it was my car, as long as I was legally parked, I would have taken my time and given first priority to the children. Now, If I'd somehow overlooked a parking restriction of some sort - loading zone or whatever - and I was not legally parked, then I'd have...

It wasn't clear to me whether my guitar student would be playing in today's showcase, but I showed up anyway. I figured I could make some spending money and support whoever showed up. My student, Jack, a 12-year-old boy, DID...

WebGal I'd visit the future, then try to bring back technology for producing clean energy, clean water and growing nutritious food in less-favorable conditions. You know, stuff that could save the world, feed the hungry and all? I'd need funding, so I'd use the...

WebGal I use Compact Fluorescent light bulbs everywhere I can. I bike to work, even in the rain. I drive a Toyota Prius and get 45-50 miles per gallon. I don't run the dishwasher or washing machine until I have a full load. I keep my thermostat low in the winter...

WebGal I don't use Microsoft products, but my general feeling is this: if your existing system already does everything you want or need it to do, then why bother upgrading? My home system is over 6 years old and it's fine for web surfing, video, music, IM,...

When I ponder the question "what came first, the chicken or the egg"...I first say "egg". But then I think about how the egg is laid, and which it was that kept the egg warm? But then I think the chicken. But that makes me think...

WebGal The egg came first. It was laid by something very close to, but not exactly like, a chicken. We might not be able to tell the difference between the creature that hatched from that egg (the modern chicken) and its parents without looking at the DNA of...

WebGal Agression? Seriously? I've been openly atheistic for years and have rarely seen more than moderate surprise in response. You mentionn your own doubts and suggest that you've experienced some sort of agression in response to your position. What do people...

Is everything that we refer to as 'I' contained within our body and brain or is there some essence which transcends this?

WebGal There is no soul; we are our brain and body and that's it. In part, I take as evidence the considerable historical record of people who have suffered brain injuries and degenerative conditions that manifested as all manner of personality changes. If the...

WebGal I don't think anything happenes. You die, the lights go out, and everything stops. Your story is over, the book closes. Unless people like Ray Kurzweil and Aubrey de Grey figure out some manner of immortality, we're all on a dead-end journey. So make the...

8 responses

WebGal I wouldn't say "origined" (or "originated"), since fish were merely a waypoint on the evolutionary path from single-celled organism to human being; that is, there were other organisms before fish that are also evolutionary ancestors of humans. But that's a...

I read that a full load put in the dishwasher uses less water than hand washing. What about total energy use? What do you think?

1 response

WebGal You _can_ save more energy washing by hand, as long as you're careful about it. Consider that dishwashers consume energy from 3 main sources: heating the water used for washing, spraying the water around and pumping it out after each cycle, and blowing hot...

WebGal Oops, a minor typo in the last example for divisibility for 7. The line that says: 7506 - 2*1= 504 should really say: 7506 - 2*1= 7504

WebGal Actually, the first odd number is 1, and infinity/infinity is indeterminate, just like 0/0. A number is divisible by 2 if its last digit is even. A number is divisible by 3 if the sum of its digits is divisible by 3. A number is divisible by 4 if either:...
