RFK Jr. talks about mandating Coke to use cane sugar, but this of course has implications on sourcing cane sugar. Why not beet sugar (or other sugar sources), why is there an obsession with sugar in food/drink being cane?

I accidentally touched the filament in a christmas light bulb as it was on and electrocuted myself. The box says it's 0.34 amps. Keep in mind, theselights were plugged into a power strip which also has my PC and other lights connected to the strip. My thumb and arm is numb and tingly and my heart hurts. How much trouble am I in?

Can you be witty without being flirty?

The COO at my company has several times complained that the company "gives them one day and they take two." It makes so much sense to multiply the effect of a free period off by taking off a day or two on either end with PTO. The bank of PTO has been given to you to use - why would it bother someone when you use it if you're not harming productivity by using it at that time over another time (or is that assumption wrong?)

At the end of December I'll probably use PTO for a singular Monday we have to work while the weekend before and week following is free off-time, and if he hears he'll probably remark again (not that it matters, he's not my own supervisor)

Funny thing is he doesn't complain if someone takes off outside these circumstances. He's even granted me free rest days (again, not my supervisor but it went through) after pulling long hours for a big project in a non-holiday situation.

It sounds like a good ole' boy blue collar attitude though, with no real reason other than "don't be lazy" even though that doesn't fit. Anyone able to shed some light? Thanks!

I think people's roles change them. I'm not great with small talk or team work. I'd like to be a better friend and team player, and someone that does good in people's lives... can you recommend jobs or careers where you've seen people develop or grow good social networks - or the skills to do that?

What’s the required efficiency for such an engine/machine?

Wondering if anyone else is having this issue or if there's a fix.

Thanks ina advance for any help or input.

and if they met the boy’s parents, how would the girl know that the parents arent also crazy and in on it? what if they are pretending to be completely normal people just to let their guard down?

and when a girl goes over to their boyfriends parents house for the first time, how do they know that they haven’t booby-trapped the place?

Here in the US we have a few holidays that are very candy-centric: Halloween, Christmas, and Valentine's Day. Other countries may have other specific occasions for commercialized candy giving as well (would love to hear about those if possible). Manufacturers produce specialized candy and packaging for these events - not suitable for leaving on the retail shelves for the rest of the year. Even though we purchase tons and tons of it, there always appears to be truckloads left as the event wraps up. It used to be that for a few days we could score candy at half or even 3/4 off the regular pricing. However, in recent years I've seen less and less of this happening: retailers clear the shelves, period. Grocers may have a bin or two for a few days, but in big-boxes like Walmart- the stuff disappears. SOMETHING has to happen with all this candy. I'm sure a percentage is tagged for charities and so forth, but I don't see that accounting for all of it. And most of it has specific "use by" dating- can't just stuff it into a warehouse for next year. Does the candy get returned to the manufacturers? What do THEY do with it? Anyone in the industry or industries have knowledge of how the candy is disposed of? Perhaps purchasers and/or manufacturers are getting more efficient at determining what the stores need?

For me this typically occurs when watching movie clips on Instagram or YouTube, and someone is in a certain situation that I’ve never been in, but it still touches me on a deeper level because I relate to it, even though it’s never happened to me?

I drink a lot of water in a day around 2l but I barely pee much, the most I’ll go is twice a day is this normal?

If energy can't be created or destroyed, where does the energy go when the universe dies out?

It's almost as if waves behave like a jump rope, limited by a predetermined length.

The higher the pitch, the shorter the wavelength, and less power the wave requires to propagate.

But if we lower the pitch, the wavelength increases, and requires more power to emit.

What primal force regulates this? What's at the point where power and wavelength meet frequency?

What does a wave borrow from as its frequency goes up that requires it to get shorter?

What is the jump rope made of?

I get called cute by married middle aged women even if they aren't interested in anything sexual with me.

I went to comic con one time and this woman was talking with I assume was her husband and she kissed him and then sort of turned to me and started asking and talking about my cosplay. She laughed and said I was so cute right after she kissed her man.

Let's find the best one

Like I always wondered what that stage was like. Is it normal till they began to become more aware about their surroundings or do they end up surpassing their peers in that stage too?

Because who is teaching young kids calculus? Do they go out and learn on their own or do their parents realize their geniuses at some point and just keep teaching them?

I have a few bunnies that sit in the middle of the street by my house. I don’t understand why not in a bush or nice grass somewhere. It’s pretty much every night or every other night that I see at least one, most the time 2, and sometimes 3 all in different spots in the middle of the road. They are in no hurry to leave when they hear my truck and see my lights. The eventually move but it’s not quick like at all. Is there a reason for this?

idk if this happens to other people, and idk if it's a certain condition. But, when i eat any kind of food that come in portions like chips, candy, or regular meals, or even drinks, i tend to eat it evenly. For example, if im eating chips i HAVE to put one chip on my left side and another on my right side. And if im only eating one i'll break it in half so i still have a piece in each side of my mouth. And for drinking i have to take even sips(2,4,5). Also my chews have to be the same. I'll tell my self that i'll start the chew with my top teeth and then chew with bottom until i hit 5 total chews. And it bothers me that it's not even so the next item that i eat i have to start the chewing with my bottom teeth and hit the 5 chews again. And for sum reason if i feel that i didn't evenly chew, ill re do the order again.

and now that i think about it, i do this with other stuff. like when i breath i have to inhale 3 and exhale 2 adding up to 5 total motions. and for it to be even, ill start with an exhale and do 3 exhales and 2 inhales.

if someone can tell me why i do this, is it a disorder, a condition, or if it's just me being dumb.

I don’t even know how to look this up, it’s like someone is making fun of you bc you work at a fast food place and not at an office job. Is there a word for that?

Or Los Angeles to Santiago Chile. If there is a flight or airline that would be helpful too. maybe private jet only? how long would it take?

I understand why historically (rarity and expense of purple pigment), but even now it seems hard to find. Looking in clothing, bedding, rugs, furniture, applicances, etc., even in cases where they have over a dozen other colors, there's often no purple. If there is purple, it's often very very pale or more of a red-purple mauve or wine hue.

It also seems to be worse for more expensive brands. I can find tons of puple quilts on Amazon in a huge variety of shades and tones, but Pottery Barn has *nothing* I would consider a true purple. It's not even just a saturation issue, as they have very saturated reds, blues, greens, and so on.

Is it just unpopular, or is there something else happening? Like is the pigment still expensive even with modern manufacturing? That seems unlikely given that, as I mentioned, cheaper stuff seems more likely to have a purple option. Very curious if anyone has any insight.

Not for editing. i just want motion blur when i'm playing. I'm using a samsung if that helps.

Guys what's the deal with age gaps, and what's acceptable? Like if the man is 24 and the girls 19 (Met because they work together) is that okay?! In a dilemma here

This is something that has never crossed my mind (I’m neurodivergent so I tend to not follow some social norms, so I’m learning).

I’ve never desired to get to the top of whatever ‘career’ I end up in. Heck, I don’t even have a “career”, I have different jobs unrelated to one another. Because it works for me and I get bored doing the same job everyday.

I’m talking about the folks who dream to become a CEO or business owner one day, or like get the highest ranking they can in the field they are in. Sure it’s great to strive to be your best, no doubt about that, but why is a career the thing that shows your success? Why can’t it be, just you?

And another thing is a “career path”. What makes people feel like their [most notable] success is in what they do everyday for work? (Which to me is just a means of making money to survive to buy essentials for life)

Why do people seek out success through their careers more then when they succeed in their not-working-time? Is it a status thing? (Yes I understand it’s not a bad thing to excel in your career, but why put so much pressure on yourself to succeed in a career when in the end, who you are matters the most?

Especially nowadays when many jobs/companies “need me more then I need them”.

Just wondering :)

(I’ve always felt out of the loop from thinking like this, but doesn’t bother me, I’m just curious at to why. I just feel bad for my friends who care too much about their job and the stress of that sounds awful)

so basically i have a problem where i need to factory reset my tablet but I cant due to the fact I need my old email and that email I deleted a long time ago and it doesn't exist anymore but I need it to verify its me resetting my tablet tf am I supposed to do
