Reply to comment by DeadlyProtocols in ELI5: Why do we take that deep, involuntary breath when idle out of nowhere? by respectcrazy
I think it's natural selection. We evolved with alveoli as the gas exchange mechanism in our lungs. If you didnt have the genetic code for this automatic response, you didnt have as many offspring.

Yes, you are slowly dying. With each breath you are closer to death. Have a nice day.

Reply to ELI5: Why do we take that deep, involuntary breath when idle out of nowhere? by respectcrazy
Our lungs are composed of little tiny sacks for absorbing oxygen called alveoli. When you’re breathing normally, the small air sacs in your lungs can sometimes collapse spontaneously. This can negatively affect lung function and reduce the gas exchange that occurs there.
These involuntary deep breaths or sighs help to prevent the alveoli from collapsing because it’s such a big breath, it serves to reinflate most of your alveoli.

Live oaks grow very slowly. I recall the beautiful live oaks at my grandmother's property in the 1970's. They survived several hurricanes and tropical storms since then. I recently saw them at the now empty property. They dont look like they have grown an inch.

There is usually a safety cut out in addition to a thermostat sensor. If one is bad then replace them both. One could have caused the other to fail.

This is interesting because when I was a young kid at the beach, adults were always warning us about the undertow. "Dont go out that far, the undertow will get you". I was not entirely clear what we were supposed to be afraid of, but you have finally illustrated it.

Electric cars. They are already expensive but the way the government and media is pushing them on the market, they are going to be too pricey for most people by 2030.

I saw the Force Awakens in theaters a few years ago. That's the only time I have been to a theater in the last 15 years. And yes, I had buyers remorse because I brought my wife and three sons so it was over $100 to see something we could have just rented a few weeks later.

Reply to comment by Brianprokpo456 in ELI5: What is a network port? by Brianprokpo456
Yes, and the ports exist at layer 4 of the transmission protocol. So it's not hardware related at all. They exist in the headers (just a few bits) of the packets that are being sent back and forth. So, to continue the example above, the ports are not a component of the apartments themselves, it's just written on the envelope of any mail or packages sent to and from those apartments.

Reply to TIL Why Dog Paws Smell Like Fritos. Even the cleanest, healthiest pooch has trillions of bacteria and fungi living on their skin. That yeasty, corn chip smell is actually a normal byproduct of harmless bacteria, usually Proteus or Pseudomonas, both of which are naturally present in our environment. by Rossknight65
Is this bacteria also the source of my dog's itching paws? He constantly chews and licks his paws and I've tried sprays and solutions of vinegar and water but it never seems to clear it up.

Reply to comment by Iamthewalrus3333 in TIL that it's a common misconception that Tennessee Williams choked to death on a bottle cap and that his death report was corrected several months later (in August 1983) to say that he died from a toxic level of Seconal (a barbituary). by [deleted]
I came here just to see if anyone else was having to read the title three times like I did. I have a coworker that writes like this. He's intelligent, well-spoken, and knowledgeable but he writes in such a convoluted way that I have to edit everything he sends to customers.

Reply to TIL Thomas Edison produced the first Frankenstein movie - a 1910 silent film adaptation of Mary Shelley's 1818 book. by 1900grs
I think it is interesting that Shelley was influenced to write Frankenstein because at the time, a volcano named Tambora in Indonesia had been erupting for a couple of years which caused blocked out sunlight and lowered averages surface temperatures globally. It was gloomy and crops were failing so this all influenced her story.
