True. Probably because most people don't think about what sauerkraut or olives actually are xD

All I will say is that it's better to have slow healthcare than none at all; given many Americans just never go in for routine medical check ups due to the cost.

>Imagine if firefighters would only save your home if you had insurance provided through your current employer...

Wasn't that actually the case in early US history?

It means that the government insures you for non-cosmetic medical expenses if you're a citizen

If you break your leg, you have don't have to pay millions of dollars out of pocket if you don't have a job

Depends on the structure.

The Parthenon was actually fine up until the 17th/18th century. It got blown up because it was used to store gunpowder during a war.

The Colosseum got destroyed by an earthquake around the year 700. But by that time, the thing wasn't really used for anything anymore, and repairs would require a lot of money and resources that nobody wanted to contribute.... Because it had no used

The big thing to keep in mind is that the main reason these things are awe-inspiring is because they were so massive, and expensive to build. Most countries don't wanna pour billions or trillions of dollars into buildings what solely amount to tourist attractions. The colosseum is basically just a magnet to get foreigners to buy hats at this point.

Especially since the materials used to build them could go towards more practical uses, there's just not any good reason. They're expensive, and currently culturally irrelevant. (Italy isn't Rome. Modern Greece isn't ancient Greece)

Greece especially isn't in an economic state to make that decision. Most countries have other problems to tend to

An organ is any collection of cells specialised to do a specific job (or jobs). Your skin, bones, stomach, basically any seperate living part of your body is considered an organ.

The only difference about skin is that it's external, which honestly doesn't make it terribly special. Something had to be on the outside of you.

They aren't in prison because they were wrong; they are in prison because they broke the rules of society. There's an important distinction there. Their sentence wouldn't change.

That said, in many cases, they could ask for a pardon, and it may be successful

Some important concepts

1. Salt sucks up water. Water draws out salts. This is known as osmosis.

2. Your body Is a bag of salty soup. We call these body salts "electrolytes". You need electrolytes to live, and the electrolytes need water to be useful..

3. Your body pees regularly to get rid of stuff it doesn't need. Your body will always need to pee, regardless of how many electrolytes that water holds

4. Sea water is MUCH saltier than Saline

In short, you need to keep a balancing act. You need a certain amount of electrolytes to function, and you need a certain amount of water to hold those electrolytes. Your body uses water for different things tho, so you need to keep that balanced.

When you drink sea water, the water is MUCH saltier than your body. Instead of your body absorbing the water, the salt sucks water out of you, and you pee it out. Your body has less water at the end of the day.

If you drink pure, unsalted water though, the opposite happens. You drink the water, your body is saltier than the water. The water sucks out salt from your body, and you pee it out. You loose electrolytes.

Now, you don't wanna lose water. Dehydration causes a tone of issues. You also don't wanna lose electrolytes. That can cause just as many issues

Saline is a happy balance. it's only a little less saltier than your body, which means your body can take in water, pee it out, and lose little to no electrolytes. This lets someone who's dehydrated gradually rehydrate, without a drastic change in anything else.

This gradual change is often really important, because your body isn't a machine. It slowly adapts to extreme changes like starvation and dehydration to help you stay alive in those states. Quickly changing their intake (like giving a severely dehydrated person a gallon of fresh water) can really mess their body up if they aren't gradually introduced to it.

Put simply: Correct, in a vacuum where shareholders were bricks with wallets that don't care about getting paid

>why do such policy exist?

To justify funding; If they don't use it all, then next budget isn't going to assume they need it, which may not be the case.

This is also the case if the business is in any type of program that relies on their requirements. If they spend less, they might get less next FY

>Isn't it better to carry over unused expenses to the next FY?

Not necessarily.

From an economical point of view, money sitting in a bank account is wasted potential. It should either be spent on making the company better, or paid to shareholders. Otherwise, it's rapidly losing value due to inflation.

If I hit your head hard enough with a rock, your personality can change, and you can lose memories. We also perceive all of our senses from the head.

It wasn't too hard to piece together. Then we started cutting chunks of it out, and that basically confirmed it

The issue is that "goto" plops you somewhere in the program, but with little to no way back.

Programming practice likes consistency, and linear flow. Every line is an instruction, and should be followed in sequence.

Even if I have to say, call a method from somewhere else in the code, I'm still sitting in the same place. I can leave where I am, go do whatever, then come back and continue where I left off. Clean.

"Goto" though? I could've jumped 5 lines ahead, or 269, and I have no way back. It's obscenely reckless in large programs, making them an absolute pain to edit, and it's just lazy in smaller programs.

Eeeeehhhhh releasing dopamine is how 'liking things' works in general; I don't know if that really counts as explaining why our body's would come to reinforce that behavior.

For example, your brain releases dopamine on an full stomach, because it wants to reinforce that behavior, but that's not a 'why' as much as it is a 'how'. The 'why' there would be more related to the fact that from a survival POV, it's important that you eat as much as you can when you can.

We don't really have a compelling reason as to 'why' music creates a dopamine response, unless I missed something in your post.

There was a quick snippet at the end about a speculation that the same networks in your brain that can learn speech are necessarily receptive to music; which if so would be an interesting quirk in evolution that makes sense as to why it's seemingly connected to complex vocalizations. But from what I understand, that was labeled expressly as a speculation.

The most basic answer is: "We don't know".

On the level of genres, that's learned. Your genre preference are typically tied to experience; what you remember fondly.

As for music in general tho, it's a bit hazy.

But we know that a lot of animals like it, so it's not specifically human, and we know children still respond positively to it, so it's not an entirely learned behavior.

We just like orderly patterns of sound. It might be as simple as it being an enriching stimulus — like a puzzle — something interesting for your brain to chew on.

This is why cold blooded creatures are superior life forms; We waste so much energy mindlessly, while a reptile has an excuse to sit back and back bask for hours on end
