Re: Swimming Strong maybe. During the face down portion definitely, but when they turn their head the skin’s still wet, however your brain definitely knows that there’s air to breathe, probably automatically overriding that reflex.

RE: bobbing Kinda. Especially small children and toddlers are incapable of overriding that reflex, meaning they can and will “drown” when that part is submerged.
The bobbing motion is just more efficient (for 99% of untrained swimmers).
You’ll do the same when exhausted while swimming.
Your body generally isn’t buoyant enough in a normal swimming position. Which means you’ll want to keep your lungs as full as possible, resulting in quick exhale, inhale, and then recouping (and sinking) while being lighter, requiring less force to resurface.

If you have a strong reflex, you can kinda try it out yourself at home, get a glass of cold water, pretend to drink with a closed mouth and slowly tip the glass back without breathing. When the water is almost touching the “base” of your nose, try inhaling. Most people feel some sort of internal “resistance” and don’t want to inhale, that’s that reflex.

(Disclaimer: Obviously people are different, and this reflex naturally gets weaker the older you get.)

Another interesting fact is, it slows your heartbeat significantly. If you have someone there with you, or have a watch that can record your pulse, fill a large bowl with ice-cold water, submerge your face in it, and you’ll immediately lower your pulse.

(Don’t do this with any sort of heart related issues, and maybe try just cold water first)

When shopping online, you have 14 days after receiving without having to specify any reason. In store it depends on if the customer had the chance to look at the product. If yes, there’s no requirement to accept intact and functional goods.
In both cases you have 1 year where the manufacturer has to prove that the product was intact when you received it (e.g. it’s not a design/production defect).
The customer then can choose if they want to have the product replaced, repaired, or returned. (Within limits, if the price of repairs are uneconomical or the product no longer exists, the seller can refuse)
At least in Germany you then have 1 year where the customer has to prove that the defect existed at the time of sale, and there hasn’t been any “irregular or improper” use, for the seller to be forced to either repair, replace, or return the product.

It’s called the “diving reflex”. There’s a small area right between your upper lip and nose, that, when getting wet, triggers your body to stop breathing and slows down your heartbeat. IIRC it’s something all mammals have, but you can ‘override’ it. It’s pretty uncomfortable at first, especially the first breath, but you can train yourself to ignore it after a while.

Not that it makes much of a difference, but 25% according to your source

Get those sticky paper strips. You might have to wait a few generations, but after they “hatch” they don’t immediately reproduce, but instead look for food first. That’s the small window where you have to get them.
Importantly, you have to keep the strips up at least 1 “cycle” after you’ve caught the last fly!

We can debate whether that theft was ethically permissible under those circumstances. But they still committed theft. The act itself does not magically stop being theft because we understand or sympathize with the reason behind it.

What? By that definition nothing is theft unless ruled such by a court. Which funnily also means that if someone takes anything but doesn’t get caught, they haven’t committed theft?
Ergo any corporation powerful enough cannot commit any crimes, due to not being sentenced.

That’s bullshit and you know it.
This isn’t about if the guys stealing the copper committed a crime or not. Obviously they removed property without consent, which is theft.
However, is there such thing as “good” crime? Yes. Same as the mother stealing formula for her baby, or the homeless person stealing bread, or these guys stealing copper from AI data centres.

Funnily it’s the same people that also insist on having 6 weeks worth of stock, even if the supplier delivers in 7 days 95% of the time.

Sure, for your immediate survival shelter, and water, obviously rank above hygiene, however, in the long term your morale is incredibly important and always underestimated. It’s easier to manage a night without shelter (unless the environment is life threatening) than to recover from low morale on your own. Especially because sadly people will be so much nicer to you if you don’t smell, and maybe even treat you like a fellow human being.

Food and personal hygiene ARE your morale. Prioritise those two above almost everything else. (Apart from your personal safety obviously)

Those don’t work via the heat tho, the plate has a rotating magnetic field that rotates a magnetic stirrer

Those are some funny words you used big science man

Neither. The “current” milk is standing, the rest is laid down on the shelves towards the back. This keeps it at a stable temperature, there is no ambiguity about which to grab, and keeps valuable door space free from clutter.

usually to make themselves feel better wrt their jealousy of its wealth, stability and beauty.

Yikes. Switzerland is an absolutely capitalist hellhole. Not for their own citizens, yes, but for everyone else. Apart from maybe 1 or 2 island nations, it’s the number one spot to store illegal money and “investments”.

Yeah, but unlimited capitalism, taking Nazi gold, etc…

Here’s a great video about it

LiDAR mostly uses infrared light, guess what’s NOT invisible to infrared? Glass. Or just take off the infrared filters from the cameras…

Eh, Germany is currently doing the same, so we’re both losing

what.

Wanted to create a 5th character in a game to test something and ran out of variations of my normal username 15 years ago. Test worked out, it became my main and now we’re here ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

Seriously, your text was good enough for a comment, and for everything else just put in some effort? It’s really not that hard, and using ai actively harms people.
