Why Has Dating Become Increasingly Hard For Men Nowadays?

September 6, 2023

Online dating has expanded the potential candidates so you’re competing with literally everyone in your area and even tourists. This leads to people (particularly hetero women) being pickier as they try and filter through what is now likely hundreds of potential partners
The above also leads to the “grass is greener” mentality; rather than try to give a chance to someone who isn’t 100% compatible with you or to make things work when the going gets tough, it’s easier to just think that there’s someone out there “perfectly compatible” for you and that “you’ll just know and it won’t be an effort at all”
Online dating has also opened up the pool to creeps and people with issues that historically might have been ostracized or at least not people who frequented the average dating pool. As a result, women are more exposed to these types of toxic, violent, creepy men and are more wary of men in general.
Women are less dependent on men financially (relative to previous decades) so now they’re choosing their partners based on different criteria or just choosing to stay single until their criteria are met.

What Are The Lessor Known Implications of Hearing Loss?

August 29, 2023

Something a lot of people, especially younger people, don’t realize about hearing loss is how much MORE there is to it than just “needing to listen to things louder when you’re old” or “some ringing” to varying degrees.

My father has hearing loss which he incurred on the job – he was a radio DJ in the 60s/70s and between the sound levels at work and the sound levels at concerts he went to for reviewing purposes, he did permanent damage to his hearing. Tinnitus is one element, hearing loss of certain frequencies is another.

How Easily Would The U.S. Military Take Omaha Beach Today?

omaha beach vs modern military

The most important difference between 1944 and today would be in the realm of guided munitions.

I once heard that a single F-15 packs as much firepower as an entire squadron of World War II–era bombers when you take into account explosive weight and the percentage of ordnance you can get on target. (Keep in mind, the F-15 is a fighter/bomber, not a dedicated bomber. If we start talking about the B-52, things get even crazier.)

What is Occam’s Razor?

August 15, 2023

Occams razor

Occam’s razor is often misstated as “the simplest answer is the correct one,” but it should more accurately be “the simplest answer is the best starting point to investigate.”

The idea is that the more different variables or assumptions have to add up to get to a solution, the more difficult it is to investigate, and the less likely it is to occur in general. “Entities should not be multiplied beyond necessity.” is the classical way to state it.

What is a Hostile Takeover of a Corporation?

August 14, 2023

In business generally the way that one company takes over another is through negotiations, contracts, and payment. Look at it like this: Company A wants to obtain Company B. Company A and B begin having discussions where Company A outlines all of the advantages of being acquired by Company A (e.g. easier access to resources, streamlined processes, a stronger legal department to protect against lawsuits, etc.) until eventually an agreement is made and Company A takes over Company B.

What Is The Simulation Universe Theory

August 11, 2023

what is the simulation universe theory

Here’s how this theory goes. If a society gets advanced enough they would eventually be able to create a simulation of their universe that would be extensive enough to cover everything down to subatomic particles.

Once a society gets this advanced, eventually they are going to run such a simulation, to test theories on universal evolution, or even societal evolution. Maybe even theories on sentience itself.

What Does A Catalytic Converter Do And Why Are They Constantly Being Stolen?

August 10, 2023

catalytic converter theft

Burning fuel can produce several toxic gases. A catalytic converter is a device that takes those toxic gases and converts them into less toxic gases.

For example, it converts Carbon monoxide into Carbon Dioxide, and Nitric Acid into Nitrogen and Oxygen (and a few other reactions).

In order to do this, it needs some precious metals which act as catalysts for the reactions. These metals don’t get consumed, but their presence helps to trigger these reactions. A catalytic converter will contain Rhodium, Platinum, and Palladium.
