A theory is a well-supported and widely accepted explanation for a phenomenon. It has been thoroughly tested and is backed by a large body of evidence.

A hypothesis is an educated guess or prediction about the explanation of a phenomenon. It is a starting point for further investigation and testing, but it is not yet proven or widely accepted.

In simple terms, a theory is a well-established idea, while a hypothesis is a proposed idea that needs further testing.

Usually your hypothesis comes before the experiment/data collection. It’s what you expect to happen given your previous knowledge of the subject.

A theory is knowledge that’s been gathered by a study and has been replicated by a separate study.

Information control/suppression. Some people had no idea about the scope or nature of the death and concentration camps until they were literally there; there was a deliberate propaganda effort to not raise alarm about it by pretending it was an inoffensive "relocation." "One booklet printed in 1941 glowingly reported that, in occupied Poland, German authorities had put Jews to work, built clean hospitals, set up soup kitchens for Jews, and provided them with newspapers and vocational training." (Holocaust Encyclopedia)

Later in the war, it was much harder to hide reality. But as you know, some ignorant people deny it even today.

Because the provider doesn't allow it in the contract? Their purpose is to make money, after all. It's a balancing act between how much to charge people vs how much stuff to make available for free, to farm goodwill and gain attention/accessibility

Tylenol is an antipyretic meaning it can bring body temperature down, this helps with pain associated with fevers. It is also an analgesic (pain relief) by stopping certain nervous system pathways.

Advil is a non steroidal anti inflammatory, meaning it stops the bodies defence mechanisms that cause inflammation which helps with pain relief. Also helps with fevers somewhat and the combination of Tylenol and Advil can absolutely SLAP for pain relief related to fevers.

Advil and Aleve are essentially the same thing but Aleve is longer acting.

There isn't an explicit objective unless you want to try for the achievements.

The only real objective is to survive and build stuff you like. It's a bit like a videogame version of legos... only instead of a little brother coming to smash your stuff, you have creepers.

Want to build a vibrant village and level up all the trades of the villagers? Go for it.

Want to ignore villages altogether and do your own thing? Knock yourself out. Build that fortress of solitude.

Want to live in a grass-block hut and breed a million cows? That's an option.

Language isn't just words. It reflects what a culture values. For example, you might have heard that the Inuit have dozens of words for snow. This is true because, for a people who live in a snowy environment, it was useful to describe powdery snow, a light dusting of snow, refrozen snow, deep snow, etc.

So living in different places, and with different people, necessitates different languages.

>This is a discussion about why they choose buybacks over dividends or simply hoarding.

No. This is a discussion of "What does it mean when a company buys back stock and why is it frowned upon?" The answer as I detailed above is complex with various pros and cons.

>All of those scenarios occur after they have decided they can’t use the money for operations.

Incorrect. As I said above, buybacks are simply a financial tool that can be used properly or improperly. These discussions occur when management is considering how to best meet goals and objectives. Discussions regarding whether they have the necessary cash for a buyback to meet the objective will happen concurrently.

>There’s definitely the paradox that a failing company might have sufficient cash to do a buyback to protect its stock/EPS; as it likely would not be failing if it has billions in excess. The only time that might happen is a windfall such as from the sale of a significant asset.

Not really. It's incredibly unlikely that a company selling PP&E just to stay afloat is concerned about, or even has the means, to do a stock buyback.

Not everyone in the world has access to the internet, and even if you do, it is very difficult to learn another language. Think about this: How much would you need to be paid to learn Mandarin? If I told you I would pay you $50k to become conversational in Mandarin, would you do it?

For a lot of people in the non-Western world, they could make more money by working more hours than they could make by dedicating a lot of time to learn English or another language.

Great quote, especially the last bit

They can, it's just that fusing iron or anything heavier takes more energy than it releases, because of the size and stability of the nucleus.

So usually iron and heavier elements mean the star is in its final stages. There's a LOT of energy in the core of a star, so heavier elements can still fuse, but they're absorbing more than they're producing. Once the star runs low on fuel that produces more energy than it takes to fuse, the total temperature starts to decline, eventually leading to collapse or implosion.

The heaviest stuff is only produced in the most intense parts of supernovas.

It probably would. Which would you choose?

You'll never convince everyone in the world to agree to ditch their own native language in favour of another.

That's to say nothing of the cultural aspects that would be lost in the name of making things "easier".

There are a few different answers to this that all kind of build up.

• The original DEA was remnants of the defunct prohibition task forces after the repeal of prohibition; around that time some crime was committed by someone (who, if memory serves, was some form of minority, because of course in America we'll choose to galvanize against a minority) who happened to be high, and they used that as an excuse to make the drug illegal.

• The real push for it came under the Nixon administration, as a way to put his political opponents (and again, minority communities) in jail when it wasn't legal to arrest them just for being black or hippies. One of the higher-ups in Nixon's cabinet has since admitted this in an interview in 1994 that was republished around 2016; to writ:

"The Nixon campaign in 1968, and the Nixon White House after that, had two enemies: the antiwar left and black people, You understand what I’m saying? We knew we couldn’t make it illegal to be either against the war or black, but by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and blacks with heroin. And then criminalizing both heavily, we could disrupt those communities; We could arrest their leaders, raid their homes, break up their meetings, and vilify them night after night on the evening news. Did we know we were lying about the drugs? Of course we did."

All 3 of those are just brand names for basic pain relievers. Advil is Ibuprofen, Tylenol is Acetaminophen, and Aleve is Naproxen Sodium. Each does something a little different. On a side note, the generic versions work just as well.

Ibuprofen - NSAID, used for the treatment of inflammation, moderate pain and fever.

Acetaminophen - used for headaches and pain as well as a fever reducer

Naproxen - helps with headaches, joint pain and muscle soreness. Also helps inflammation.

I don't know the stats specifically, but the answers generally weren't placed at random. In my head, that would likely make the first and last answer the least likely (outside of the last answer being all or none of the above). Thus, the middle answers are more likely to be selected for the correct answer. "C" then naturally allows you to read more answers. My unsupported two cents anyways.
