Look at it this way, do you consider stones and bricks tools?

thanks you for your feedback.

yes, telescopes can pick up and recover sound by registering the distortion on objects in the room. this used to be done with lasers but even that isn't necessary now.

and you might notice that i said in reality we couldn't have a telescope that did that, but we could communicate and see the effect in other ways. like flashing lights at each other.

that's kind of important. we can imagine what we would see, and describe the effects, without worrying about what the physical limitations are. visualising the situation can help with understanding.

my point was that our experience of time doesn't change, but the time we see pass for others does.

I'm sorry if you found the explanation confusing, however.

Usually, separating between what is tool is if you have to "work the tool". Early hominids know how to use stick or stones, but it wasnt until they started to sharpen the sticks and stones when we refered to it as tools, since they were not using stuff normaly found in nature, like certain animals can. This is the same thing.

this is a terrible explanation, telescopes pick up audio now apparently, and they are powerful enough to look at a 6 inch watch face. instead of just regurgitating a textbook paragraph, try to actually explain it like they’re 5. do better.

Does it really taste better to "most" people? Could be. I've never seen a scientific poll on this (tho I'm gonna go look). But not to me and my family. I've been eating whole wheat foods my whole life (I've eaten mostly home-cooked meals) and strongly prefer the nutty flavour of whole wheat over the blandness of white flour. I usually add just a smidge % more oil/butter to my baking to counteract the slight uptick in perceived dryness, but for tortillas, roti, and naan, I can't tell any difference in dryness, just a nuttier flavour.

Anyway, I think people get used to what they get used to, like how Yanks can't tell that their supermarket white breads are usually basically confectionery.

it's like you're taking a pain killer, this painkiller flows all over your body and is like alright! take me to the pain area so i can stop it! and whenever it flows to the affected area, it reduces the inflammation and whatnot

This might help or add to the confusion but sheds some light into the FDA's thought process on the matter:

"Processed" is kind of missleading in this case. Whole weed flour is still processed otherwise you would just have a grain and not flour. You just skip one step in the process that is sieving out the other parts. The milling acctually gets more difficult with whole weed if I remeber correctly. So no production cost does not realy change. And yes it makes properties better to bake, though "better" depends on what you want to make. For most comercial products finer grain is usually better and it also tastes sweeter, which is what most people like.

ELY5: Fish have special lungs called gills, which are like a stack of delicate tissue paper, with many layers of thin tissue all sitting next to each other. The surface of each tissue paper needs to not touch its neighbours in order to absorb oxygen from the water. If you soak a stack of tissue paper in water, and then take it out; it will be impossible to peel the tissues apart. This is exactly what happens to fish gills once they leave their water home.

Maybe it's just ready to be overwritten

Can someone explain why when a post is removed, it's still posted along with comments? Clearly, the post is NOT removed.

Yes, it is possible but the odds are very very low.

Come on, you have to understand that's not the whole point of the question. When you eat whole wheat bread, you taste and feel that it's not the same as white bread, and OP wants to know what the difference is; it's not health, okay, but what is it?

The benefit of processing the flour is that it tastes better to most people, and they're more likely to buy it.

Your point is that the label isn't regulated in the way it should be, and that's true, but it's not true that the whole wheat label is just nothing.

Whole wheat products are qualitatively way different than other products, and OP just wants to know what that difference is.

If it's a 2.5" hard-drive you can just give it a good whack with a hammer.

When it sounds like a box of matches, your data is safely deleted.

Not what I was saying and not accurate. Change the direction of a barometer and the reading will stay the same. Pressure might increase with depth but the pressure hits you from all directions at once.

I didn't say that the more that the horizontal layout wasn't used. But in the United States, stop lights that are laid out horizontally always have green on the right.

Yes. That's how undelete programs works.

Think of a drive as a book. You got the list in the first part with the pages where each chapter begins and ends and what the chapter is called.

That's in the computer called a partition table.

And instead of a chapter it's a file. But pretty much like that.

So if you want to delete a drive you don't delete the actual pages. You just clear the index page where the name of the chapter is.

So if there's a range of pages that have no chapter name then it means you could replace the chapter with a new chapter ( so to speak) and add a chapter name for it.

This makes formatting a big drive quick. You simply erase all the names in the index.

All the data is technically still there.. But because the index said it's empty, the computer will Just overwrite that part and add a new name in the index.

That's actually exactly how a drive on a computer works. Ans also why you can undelete files or drives if they haven't been overwritten.

Just make sure none of your crypto is on a drive you do that to.
