People complain that it's poor design that humans eat and breath through the same pipe(throat). Are there any animals which don't though?

  • Most animals do not have this habit of complaining.

    Oh, wait, maybe they mean USA...

    • What happens when I ignore the cookie preference dialogue on websites?

    Jump

  • Legally, the user has NOT allowed ANY cookies then. (The law still allows the technically needed ones)

    But in practice, it is not easy to find out what a website does.

    • If mind uploading was successfully achieved, would the virtual "you" truly still be you?

    Jump

  • Its the same problem with teleportation. If you are disentegrated in one spot and then completely reformed out of new particles in another spot to the new version

    But Scotty's Beamer wasn't a real transporter. It consisted of a scanner (not a disintegrator!) and a killer and a creator. If it had been constructed just a little differently, it would have copied you again and again....

  • What foes the thinking? The flesh.

    No, it's the dlesh that does the dinking.

    • Trump threatens tariffs on any nation that taxes Big Tech

    Jump

  • That's a nice thought.

    • Trump threatens tariffs on any nation that taxes Big Tech

    Jump

  • You think you can ignore laws just because you are small?

    • Trump threatens tariffs on any nation that taxes Big Tech

    Jump

  • figuring out where that revenue is coming from is quite difficult.

    Since all countries have long traditions in requiring that from a business, it doesn't matter if it's difficult or not.

    • Trump threatens tariffs on any nation that taxes Big Tech

    Jump

  • Wonder what the correct answer is... should everybody in the world put even higher taxes on big tech now, or better taxes + tariffs?

    • Anyone else notice how the media has been hot for 3 weeks and then there was a very obvious crescendo with trump backing russia and now everything's cold. What is that?

    Jump

  • Maybe the Great Tricktator has fired enough of them by now?

    • Why do most Americans use an iPhone?

    Jump

  • Usamericans usually like to look for "the best", whatever that means, and never accept "second". I assume that they need that to feed their pride.

    Apple has managed to make them believe that iPhone products were the best smartphones, and all of Apple's marketing is focused on maintaining that belief.

    • If I microwave my balls, will it dry them faster or just make them taste weird?

    Jump

  • Your wife wants more kids? Then she is right and you shouldn't cook your balls.

    • Does anyone have book recommendations for balancing life and media consumption?

    Jump

  • Not everyone absorbs information the same way.

    I know that very well. And still I recommend that, because the act of listening to an audio book is so different from the act of reading a book (and because the former has so many similarities to using other electronic media).

    It has many aspects, not just absorbing the information.

    • Does anyone have book recommendations for balancing life and media consumption?

    Jump

  • IMHO "hearing" a book isn't much different from other forms of electronic media consumption.

    So my recommendations is: Read a real book. And then some more.

    • So, is the USA screwed?

  • All states should leave the us now ASAP.

    Except maybe New York and Florida, because they have given him shelter.

    • Is there an evolutionary advantage associated with armpit sweating and stinking?

    Jump

  • About the stinking, you would better look for these bacteries advantage :)

    • Job related: Am I being stupid?

    Jump

  • As I understand, you like both options (for different reasons).

    One more aspect is your further career: Always check if a new job fits well into your resume, and brings you forward to better/higher paid options in the future, or not. This is especially important when you're young.

    Option B seems a dead end in this regard. You cannot become a 'boss driver' or even a 'senior driver' from it. You'll stay on the same career level forever.
