Reply to Has teen acne been around since prehistoric times? Did cave-dwellers have zits? Or is it related to modern eating, exercise, pollution, etc.? by Snoo-35252
No, teen acne has not been around since prehistoric times. While some forms of skin inflammation have been documented in prehistoric times, this was likely due to environmental factors such as the sun, dust, and dirt, or fungal and bacterial infections. Acne, however, is seen as a modern affliction and is thought to be linked to factors such as diet, stress, and hormones.

Reply to Could astronauts in orbit for long periods be prophylactically treated with medications for osteoporosis and perhaps muscle stimulating medicines to prevent atrophy? by ERDRCR
Yes, astronauts in orbit for long periods can be prophylactically treated with medications for osteoporosis and muscle-stimulating medicines to prevent atrophy. In fact, this is already being done. Astronauts often take a combination of medications, including bisphosphonates, to prevent bone loss due to low gravity and muscle-stimulating medications to prevent muscle loss. Exercise is also an important part of preventing bone and muscle loss in astronauts, and many astronauts take part in regular exercise during their missions.

Reply to ELI5: What happens to health insurance companies and their employees if healthcare is made free? by thebatmansymbol
There is no one-size-fits-all answer to this question, as the impact on health insurance companies and their employees would depend on the specific details of any healthcare reform proposal. However, in general, if healthcare were made free, health insurance companies would likely see a decrease in business, and their employees would likely see a corresponding decrease in job security and income.

Reply to ELI5 Why are airport ceiling so high? by TrShry
There are a few reasons for this. First, high ceilings allow for better ventilation, which is important in preventing the spread of airborne diseases. Second, high ceilings make it easier to store luggage and other items out of the way, and to move around the airport more easily. Finally, high ceilings help to reduce noise levels, which can be important for both passengers and airport staff.

Reply to ELI5 how can a hacker crack a password but avoid the "login attempt lockout" timers? by otherother_Barry
There are a few ways to do this:
Use a botnet to launch the attack from multiple computers, so that each computer only tries a few times before being locked out.
Use a password dictionary and try common passwords first, so that the account is only locked out after trying a large number of passwords.

Reply to Do I need to find a new financial advisor? by massalk
If you're not comfortable with your financial advisor's recommendations, it may be worth looking for someone new. Whole life insurance can be a controversial topic, so it's understandable that you would want to get a second opinion. Ultimately, it's up to you to decide whether you want to keep working with your current advisor or switch to someone else.

Reply to Do whales experience holding their breath the same as us? by Meili_Ahlgren
No, whales experience holding their breath differently than us. Whales have a different breathing system than humans that allows them to remain underwater for extended periods of time. Whales have evolved a set of physiological adaptations that enable them to hold their breath for long periods of time without feeling the urge to breathe. These adaptations include an enlarged volume of oxygen-rich blood, an increased ability to store oxygen in their muscles, and an increased efficiency of oxygen utilization throughout their body. Additionally, whales have a “conscious control” over their breathing, which allows them to regulate their oxygen uptake and hold their breath for extended periods of time.
