Certainly could if it had good contact. If it was air gapped (held up by hair), it could be an effective barrier for shorter wavelengths.

I took some antenna theory courses back in the day and yes, you are correct. Some frequencies reflect off the upper atmosphere so there would be a longer effective range at higher incident angles (going into the top of the head) but it wouldn't completely block radio waves. Going from memory, the wavelengths that reflect off the upper atmosphere are long enough that a tin foil hat wouldn't cause much interference anyways.

TLDR: Fashionable, but not practical.

Totally agree. The general concept of calculus is pretty straightforward. The implementation of calculus is an exercise of algebra.

It would be so awesome if they went employee owned. I get the impression the employees are people who are passionate about video games. I feel that they would choose leadership that is both good for the community and good for the long-term health of the company.

I'm very confused. The president can't know the composition of Congress during the campaign because all of the Reps are on the same ballot as the president. Are you saying prospective candidates should always say "If I'm elected and we have the house and Senate I will..." to cover their asses? I think most people understand those ramifications.

In today's news: no news, back to you, Cindy.

Love your optimism

I do not. This was the interviewer's experience through conversations, not a rigorous scientific study I think.

I listened to an interview with a woman who researched aging and spent time interviewing lots of elderly people. The majority of those interviewed called their 60s the best decade of their life. I also dislike the myth that your youth was your peak and it's all downhill from there. There's good in all times of your life, lean into the experiences that are available at the time and don't worry about how good the past was or how the future might be worse.

I only eat drowned Oreos too.

 

What preparations do you take when moving outdoor plants indoors for the winter? I'm mostly worried about bringing bugs inside. What techniques do you use to ensure you don't get infested over the winter?

 

The way I see it, the major barrier to countries implementing carbon taxes is the fear their economic competitors won't do the same, therefore hindering their economic growth needlessly. A valid concern.

Why don't some nations build an 'opt in' style Free Trade Agreement that allows any country to join as long as they prove they have implemented and enforced a carbon tax. Those countries then have high financial incentives to only trade within the 'carbon tax block' and any country outside is at a serious trade disadvantage.

I've (quickly) looked and have not found anything like this proposed (which is frankly crazy).

Would you support your country jumping into this FTA?

What are the unforeseen downsides or objections to a plan like this?
