The questions-not-worth-their-own-thread question thread IV

[Fifty]

So, Fifty, you want to regularly smoke cigars?

Come on dude, that's a recipe for addiction.

but its sooooooooo calming!!!!!!!!!!!!! it cures my restless leg syndrome!!!!

 

[Dachs]

I'd recommend, finding some other cathartic mouth action to perfom.

 

[eastsidebagel]

WHAT THE HELL were you thinking, Dachs?

 

[Abaddon]

Debating with a fellow human being?

 

[Brighteye]

Perfection and Fifty sharing a cathartic mouth action ...
what a pleasant thought.

 

[Eran of Arcadia]

If you have no qualms killing other people from foreign nations, many of whom are equally as innocent as you, then it is the perfect job. On the other hand, it really is disturbing that people derive pleasure from killing others, much like a psychopath would.

Question for you: do you really think that most soldiers have no qualms with killing people and/or derive pleasure from it?

i think at least some do. The army, 98% normal guys, 1% heros and 1% psychopaths.

Obviously no qualms is a stretch, but if one was truly against the killing of other people, they wouldn't join a profession where that was essentially the entire object. And on top of that, the military actively encourages their soldiers to be proud about who they kill and it becomes a bragging right and a form of status, much beyond mere "self-defense" of their nation.

They are certaintly going to be people who have less of an aversion to it than yer average civvy.

 

[Sharwood]

What he's not telling us is where he puts the cigars first.

Seriously Fifty, you want to solve the problem, put a chair next to an open window and smoke there.

What would be the effect of exposing yourself to a very powerful magnetic field for an extended period of time?

Google?

-Oh nice edit there.

 

[Perfection]

What would be the effect of exposing yourself to a very powerful magnetic field for an extended period of time?

Nothing.

(maybe some astrophysical stuff or super high powered physics experiments, but sitting next to your ordinary multimillion dollar liquid helium cooled electromagnet ain't gonna hurt ya)

(unless you have a pacemaker, or like nails in ya or the like)

Some guy made a pair of longevity rings. He said they guarantee you'll live for 30 years longer. The rings were a pair of magnets. You wear them on opposite hands. Some people decided to try the rings and it had significant health effects for the people. The health effects were headaches, lack of sleep, and if I recall correctly, mood changes. I read this a very long time ago, so I don't have a link.

After typing all that, I decided to look for them. Here they are:

Can't find any articles of people getting sick from them.

When and Where?

 

[Sharwood]

When and Where?

WWI fighter pilots. And medieval axemen. Notch in the handle for everyone they killed. Although I have heard very little about similar things today, I'm sure there are some people who put the figurative 'notches in the belt.'

You expect people who bought that trash to accurately report what causes what? It's hard enough with smart people!

There's no real method of action here, people simply aren't effected much by magnetic fields, they don't have magnetic fields, and they're poor antennas too.

Besides, tiny little neos aren't going to have much field at your head!

But what about all those miraculous pain-deadening magnets advertised on infomercials? Surely my television does not lie to me? I mean, aside from profiting off of people foolish enough to buy their product, what could these 'doctors' possibly have to gain?

I thought I was a good antenna. Well, good enough to make channel 12 come in clear.

Sometimes, when I have nausea, I find that eating anything salty helps calm my stomach down. Why would this be? (I'm guessing an imbalance between the water and sodium in the body.)

 

[Shekwan]

So smoking cigars calms me down and lets me focus, but it also makes my room smell bad.

1) I will not chew
2) I will not smoke cigarettes
3) Smoking outside is not feasible because cigars take so long to smoke.

HOW DO YOU SUGGEST I SOLVE THIS DILEMMA?

I want to be able to smoke a cigar every night, but I don't want my room to permanently smell.

Smoke out the window?
