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

As with any sort of strenuous work, keep fed and watered and trained. That way, it both limits how much it hurts and how much you care

 

[SS-18 ICBM]

Warm-up exercises? Seems like the only way.

 

[Atticus]

Hmm... Dehydration sounds like the most probable cause: I usually don't feel thirsty in the pool, but even more so after getting out from there. Thanks!

If you ask American, they speak strange in Stockholm too.

Question: How do you prevent your foot cramping while swimming?

As a swimmer I have been told by my coach that there are plenty of factors, but dehydration is probably the most common.

 

[Yared]

But in gothenburg they speak strange and in malmö they are nazis and speaks a mix between swedish and danish.

Scania also has them secessionists

 

[Ulyaoth]

What you have wrong with nazis who speak funny and secessionists?

 

[Love]

A: They are nazis, nazis are wrong.
B: You can't hear what they are speaking, It's a much better accent in stockholm.

 

[Ulyaoth]

A: why?

B: maybe you've got the funny accent?

If frozen food that's supposed to be fried has spent ~20 hours at room temperature, and then was frozen again for a couple of days, is it safe to eat?

 

[Ulyaoth]

Most likely but it'll probably taste like crap.

 

[Brighteye]

I've never had a problem with it.

 

[Cutlass]

If frozen food that's supposed to be fried has spent ~20 hours at room temperature, and then was frozen again for a couple of days, is it safe to eat?

The Red Cross says that any food that's spent 40 minutes at room temp is unsafe to serve. Obviously that's an extreme, and they are covering their liability butt. However once something that is supposed to be kept refrigerated has been warm and out in the open for a long time, you want to be careful with it.

From the red cross' point of view, they were probably referring to very hot countries when they wrote that. If you ever have to get food out to people in places nearer the equator, food left out for more than about half an hour is almost poisonous.

 

[Atticus]

A: They are nazis, nazis are wrong.
B: You can't hear what they are speaking, It's a much better accent in stockholm.

Isn't it a good thing that you can't hear what nazis are speaking?

Well I got that from a lecture I once sat through with them on disaster relief preparation here in the US.

 

[Ulyaoth]

I'm thinking of taking an elective since I only have 14 credits lined up next semester. Thinking of either intro to psychology, intro to sociology, intro to anthropology, or maybe ethics(intro to philosophy is filled already). Which one would be likelier to have hot womens do you think?

 

[Dachs]

Isn't it a good thing that you can't hear what nazis are speaking?

It's more of a neutral than a positive

 

[SS-18 ICBM]

Can you blame them, honestly? People raise lawsuits for their own stupidity.

 

[Karalysia]

How long does it take an adult individual of average health in their early 20's to starve to death provided they have water but no food?

 

[Flying Pig]

Roughly three weeks. However, after more than a few days you become massively less fit, so if you're thinking of a survival situation always take more food than you will ever need. Assume that you are going to starve the mealtime after you eat your last ration.
