 How long does it take from the slaughtering a cow, to me being able to pick up the meat at my supermarket? Also, what exactly goes on during that time?

the cow is humanely transported to the slaughterhouse from the farm, stunned so that it does not feel any pain when it is bled out, and then eviscerated. It takes about 36 hours for a bovine carcass to reach 4 degrees celcius or below (this is considered to be a safe temp). After that it is further processed into different products. Side note: a cow is a female bovine which has given birth. A heifer is a female bovine which has not given birth. A bull is a male bovine which has not been castrated and a steer is a male bull which has been castrated. The 36 hr cool down time is the rule of thumb for all genders of bovine.

 Why does, say, 70 degrees Fahrenheit feel much colder indoors than it does outdoors?

Most likely you are thinking of 70 as being warm because you remember a time when it was 70 and sunny outside. Take the same day with no sun and you feel about the same as being indoors Your body and clothes catch the sunlight and warm you up. This doesn’t happen indoors or when days where there is sufficient cloud cover Same reason it can be 70 degrees and sunny outside, but the metal of your car is much higher. Close The windows of said car and the inside is much higher than 70 because its trapping the heat.

 How less known athletes make money?

They just dont make any money. As harsh as this sounds, but the average income of a professional athlete (excluding Football, soccer, ICE Hockey, Baseball and Basketball) is rather small. There Was a study in germany that showed that the average professional athlete in germany earns a gross 2000€ a month. However keeping in mind that this average also includes elite athletes making multiple Million a year this is a rather dark figure. There is ways to up your income: some countries have police/army Jobs which basically pay for you to contunue competing. Most commonly, however is to work as a (youth) Coach to make ends meet.

I have very little knowledge, but for what I know, your brain releases an hormone (I don't remember the exact name but a quick google search will help you) that paralyses you, while you sleep. When your brain releases this stuff but you're not totally alseep yet, is when some people experience "sleep paralysis".

 Why does the price of name brand foods vary at different stores but the price of electronics such as video game consoles are the same at every store?

Food is fairly cheap to produce and the markup is pretty huge depending on the food. A bag of chips that costs 50 cents to make will sell for 2 bucks. That's a sweet margin. And it gives room for discount stores to cut prices and have sales, etc. Additionally the price of food often fluctuates. The 2 dollar price is a good average that covers increases and decreases in potato costs if there's a bumper crop or famine. There is a theory for example that McDonald's times the return of the McRib with the ebb and flow of pork futures on the commodities market. Video game consoles have much thinner margins. And the margins are consistent. Aluminum, plastic, and Lithium don't have bumper crops. Microsoft actually sold the first XBox at a loss because they had a longer term strategy of getting into the console market and putting an XBox in your living room as a sort of entertainment hub. Sony is the same way. Their goal isn't for you to buy their console, their goal is to get you to buy into their system. Sony has a stake in BluRay licensing which is why the PS3 was so gung ho on introducing BR discs. Because these consoles use cutting edge tech, the process required to make them is slow and laborious and specialized. Over time it gets easier and faster and more automated which is why price drops occur later on. Nintendo is not in the same game, they want their consoles to make profit. So that's why their consoles are cheaper and that's why their tech is a generation behind, because it's easier to make older tech. In any case, the costs of making a PS4 don't fluctuate the way that potato chips do, and even then, there's not much room for sales.

 Would it be easier to colonize Venus?

The probes we have landed on Venus's surface last less than an hour. The pressure and temperature are so high the probes melt. Pressure **ninety times as much as Earth** with temperatures of 470 degrees C/878 degrees F. Cooling is not the only issue, it's also still going to be like being on the bottom of the ocean. Atmosphere has no water vapor, no oxygen, and is basically mostly made of sulfuric acid. Interestingly, there is an area in Venus's atmosphere where pressure is comparable to Earth surface pressure, about 50 miles up. Venus is also closer and easier to travel to. The fact humans could never colonize the ground of Venus makes it a terrible spot to colonize, although scientific study at a floating cloud station would be pretty cool.

 why and when does a bank collapse?

A typical bank collapse works like this: Banks lend out more money than they keep on reserve. For example, in the US, if you deposit $100 in a bank, $10 must be kept on reserve, while the other $90 can be loaned out. Once the loan is paid, the bank has effectively created the $90 that it loaned out, because it didn't actually exist before that (you could have withdrawn your full $100 in the meantime because the bank has enough on reserve to do this before the loan is fully paid). This system works well as long as most people just leave their money in their account most of the time. Usually this is the case. A bank run happens when for whatever reason, too many people try to withdraw money at the same time and it overwhelms what the bank keeps on reserve. News that the bank may be failing tends to further scare people into thinking their money isn't safe, and even more people try to get their money out. If something isn't done to bail out the bank, it collapses.

 How can the owner of a company lose ownership of their own company?

Once the company goes public, other people buy shares and own part of the company. Jeff Bezos owns more of Amazon than anyone, but he only owns 10%. Once a company issues stocks, they have to have a board of directors that represent the stock holders. If enough of those board members don’t like the way the CEO is running it, they can fire him, even if he is the founder of the company. He’ll still own his percentage of the company, but he’ll no longer be running it.

 How is something digitally unduplicatable?

Basically yes. Code can easily be copied and pasted. That's why companies execute important code at their own servers (the backend) and not on the client side. And applications that run only on the computer (client), like photoshop have their code obfuscated and turned into an executable ( a binary file that only a computer can read). There are programms that try to reverse this process, but the code still won't be good to read. So you can't modify it easily and then they hide code to verify that the programm wasn't modified and has an active license, while on the other hand "hackers" try to bypass said functionality.

when you buy an item from ikea. shouldn't it only take as much space as the box when you're assembling it? because it's already in your house isn't it? same concept. you download the installer which is compressed data aka the ikea box. then you have to decompress the data, aka take all the pieces out of the box which takes up more room. then you have to actually install the program aka now you assemble the ikea item which takes up even more room. and then once the program is done installed aka you're done putting the furniture together. you can delete everything aka throw again the box and packaging and stuff and get all the space that you used up back. so if you have only enough room for just the box from ikea, good luck assembling it.

 Despite its very large population, entrepreneurial culture and rapidly developing economy, why are so few inventions/innovations coming out of China?

It’s pure economics. I’m a national economist so here is my take. This is still up for discussion. China is focused mostly on production. Where many western nations are focused on R & D. This is why, when you look on clothes or even your phone, it’ll usually say ‘produced in (Taiwan, India or China)’. Besides this. Many innovations are actually made in China, however since their population and internal market is so large, they usually go to self production purposes. The innovations are simply not competitive on the international market. Would you buy a phone, completely designed and produced in China? No, I thought not. As stated prior they can supply their own demand. Imagine a little country like Denmark, we can’t self supply, since we can’t produce a vast amount of different demanded material to supply our own demand. We haven’t got a large enough labor force compared to the amount of different products demanded. Now see China, they have an almost equal amount of products demanded however their population is 200 times bigger. The same goes for the US and EU on a general basis. So China is simply not specialized for international innovations.

 Why were developed countries concentrated in the North and developing countries in the South?

This has not always been so. In medieval times the Arab countries, India and China were far more prosperous than Europe. And even in more modern times India was the jewel in the crown of the British Empire primarily because it had been so prosperous just before. So your question ultimately boils down to how did Europe come to dominate the world in the colonial era, and the answer to that is a combination of military, commercial and industrial reasons which coalesced at precisely the historical era in question.

 How do we know the calorie content of food when not everything that burns is digestible?

Calories are just a measurement of energy, like joules. Just because the human body can't digest and use some of those calories doesn't mean they don't exist. Calorie counts on food nutrition labels tell you the total number of calories in that food, but they don't tell you how many of those calories you'll actually digest. For example, the more processed a food is, the more calories our bodies are capable of absorbing (the processing did some of the digestion work for us). The health of your digestive system also plays a major role in how many calories your body gets from eating a food. If two people ate the exact same bag of chips, one of those people would probably absorb a few more calories from the chips than the other person, but neither would get as many as are on the label.

 if anti matter destroys matter then how does matter exist?

We don't know. This is a known problem in our current understanding of physics and is named the [baryon asymmetry]( URL_0 ). One of the theories suggest that there's a phenomenon that favors production of matter more than anti-matter. Others suggest that our current standard model is wrong, and symmetry is not observed.

 Why do glass cups sometimes break from the bounce and not the first impact?

Depends on where the cup got hit and the angle it hit the floor. If it hit the bottom of the cup, that's usually thicker and harder to break, but if it bounces and the side of the cup hits the floor, the angle and the weaker area of the cup it's hitting will lead to breaking.

 How does deleting data off a HDD even work?

HDDs do not use grooves: they use magnets. Each individual "bit" of storage is actually a small magnetic field, and which way the magnetic field is going determines whether that's a 1 or a 0. As for deletion, you're right: just hitting "delete" doesn't make any physical changes to the disc: it only designates the data bits as empty, ready to be overridden by whatever new data comes along. The computer essentially just says "ignore those bits: they're meaningless".

 Why are dark themes better for the eyes? it is true?

Usually dark themes are used at night where the environment is much darker and your brain is used to process much less visual information. Using dark themes during a bright day is similarly uncomfortable to having brighter themes at night. Essentially, your brain got used to processing an amount of information, dark themes provide less information as the darker/black colors are recognized as a void (during the night) so your brain doesn't think much of it and focuses on what is brighter. During the day, your brain is used to balance the information from different sources, that's why you have to brighten your screen to your environment so your brain doesn't strain your body into deciphering the information that is being blurred out by much stronger sources. It's a matter of balancing the different sources of information so your brain doesn't become cluttered on one single point.

 What is the difference between regular light bulbs and growing lights for plants?

Growing lights are just designed in a way to deliver the maximum amount of light that specifically plants can use (they don’t use all light frequencies equally, e.g. they don’t use green light, they reflect it back, which is what makes them look green) with the minimum amount of electric power. Seeing that growing lights can be kept on for hours and days on end, they can rack up quite a bill.

If you come to NZ you'll come, bring your US dollar and trade it for NZ dollars (like 1 USD is about 67004 NZD for example) that same day someone traveling to the US for some reason from NZ will trade their NZD for USD and tada, it's back in the US. Money rarely stays put, it's always circulating. Exchanges, either at banks or through exchange companies, ensure that foreign currency stays circulating.

 How does an aurora work? What happens to create it?

Interestingly, this is actually related to my field of research. Basically, what happens is you have a bunch of charged particles travelling along the Earth's magnetic field. Where the field lines intersect with the Earth (near the poles), those particles are going to start hitting the gasses in the atmosphere. When different molecules and atoms get hit, they emit a different color. For example, oxygen can glow either red or green (depending on its altitude and what hits it), whereas nitrogen will glow either blue or crimson. It's really quite fascinating! When you see the auroras moving around in "sheets", you're actually watching the Earth's magnetic field lines move in the sky.

 How do market crashes happen?

Markets serve two functions: 1 - they connect buyers and sellers so if you need/want something you can get it efficiently; and 2 - they help determine prices. I assume you are just a random dude sitting in America somewhere and you have no idea what a ton of Egyptian Cotton costs or is worth. Before "markets" if I transported you to an Egyptian cotton farmer's field and told you to negotiate with him for the purchase of a ton of his cotton you would have no idea what you were doing or what to offer. Today if you find yourself in need of Egyptian cotton you can purchase it as a commodity at a price that is fair based on what everyone else in the world is paying. Nice and easy. The problem with markets however is that they often set prices that do not reflect the value of what is being sold. There are a lot of people who will disagree with this and say (foolishly) that "value is whatever someone will pay". However the phenomenon of a crash is caused by this very disconnection. Prices go up for some irrational reason and they in fact go up so high that when they come down they create an inverse irrationality that pushes them below their value. Most crashes result in over-shooting the real value and there being a rebound later. The takeaway from this is just that human beings are irrational creatures and our irrationality is reflected in market prices for goods. A crash is simply the hardest form of evidence of this irrationality. Like most cognitive defects though, most people can only see it in retrospect.

 Why does he government pay a premium for everything it's involved in?

its not *just* the govt... youd be surprised at business to business pricing too. Its very lucrative to target this stuff, perhaps because business's are so *sticky*, its hard to change suppliers, and you can often just bop along for years and years without anyone stopping to think if they could save their company a few bucks. anyway, govt could be uniquely at risk because it has no shareholders, no profit and loss statement, its not really accountable to anyone to operate efficiently. theres a fuzzy trail back to voters... but thats so far removed that it may as well not exist. When your going assumption is that you lose money to accomplish some sort of public service, its difficult to gauge just how much money you should lose to decide if your adding value or not.

 When you edit an application or image with Notepad, what are the thousands of lines of random characters it shows?

Notepad assumes that *everything* you try and open with it is a text file, even if it's not. ASCII and ANSI are two popular systems on how to encode text as zeroes 'n ones, and Notepad, no matter what, starts looking for text encoded in these manners. Usually it finds *something* that matches the rules of the encoding and tries to show what letter it thinks it found. However, it's totally wrong and barking up the wrong tree, the random characters it shows don't really mean anything. A good metaphor would be if you didn't know the symbols for the numbers, **did** know the symbols for the alphabet, and saw a 0. "Aha," you think. "That's the letter O!" When no, it's not, it just looks like that because that's all you know. Notepad is kinda the same, it doesn't know how to make sense of JPEG or application data but it knows what letters look like, even when the data ain't letters.

 Why do pure copper pennies explode when heated with a propane torch on a porous tile?

It should not, it's just copper. The newer ones (post 1982) explode because the zink inside the penny melt and expand before the copper does, building up pressure inside the coin until it bursts. Though I've never heard any evidence of it being especially violent.

 What's the difference between universe expanding vs distance between galaxies increasing?

If the universe is not expanding and **all** the galaxies are moving away from our point of view, then we're super special. This would only work from one point in the static Universe, and our planet just happens to be there. Wow, what good luck!! But, we're not special. We're an ordinary planet around an ordinary star in an ordinary galaxy. If your theory in physics only works if Earth is the origin of the Universe, your theory is almost certainly wrong. The other theory, that the Universe itself is expanding, is much more reasonable and would match the same observations.

 How is machine learning different from a statistical model?

Machine learning is a way to build a statistical model. It is all well and good to say "let's use a statistical model!", but you still have to decide which one to use and how to implement it. Is your data distribution linear? Geometric? Logarithmic? Sinusoidal? You have to start making guesses and see which one you think fits the best. Machine learning automates that process, building a statistical model based on the data itself.

 Why does the can of compressed-air dust remover gets so cold if used continually at once?

So, when you're dealing with gases, you have to understand that, in order to expand, a gas must heat up. When you use compressed air duster, there's more room in the can that the gas then has to occupy. In order to do that, it has to absorb heat from its surroundings; in this case, the can, which we sense as the can cooling down.

 How does flying standby work?

In general, standby airline tickets only grant you a seat on a flight if there is extra space after all other ticketed passengers board (such as passengers who missed their flight or an airline couldn't fill the plane otherwise). They are often given out as a privilege to loyalty program members and employees (to take an earlier flight than booked, or to fly strictly conditionally on free space) and sometimes as compensation for overbooked flights (say if the immediate next flight was also fully booked, but the airline gives the option of taking it standby if a passenger no-shows.)

 What makes the https protocol secure?

The 's' in https means secure. Jokes aside, https uses SSL/TLS encryption between your browser and the webserver. There are groups called Certificate Authorities (CAs) who exist to vouch for the identity of different websites. They use keypair cryptography (in which there are two keys, and you use one key to encrypt something and only the other matching key can decrypt it) where the website keeps the "private" key to themselves, and publish an SSL Certificate, which is basically the "public" key that matches the private key, paired with a promise from a CA promising that it's the real public key that matches their private key. Then you download a webpage via https, it arrives encrypted. You then unencrypt it with the website's public key, and since the CA promised that it's the right key, you know that it was encrypted with that websites private key, and so the webpage actually came from that website and not someone in between you and the website. Your response to the website (eg your password) is then encrypted with their public key, meaning that only the website can unencrypt it since only they have the private key.

 can anything be described as exact?

Yes, by the Intermediate value theorem if you walk away from your house at some point you will be *exactly* 1 mile away. it might only be for a fraction of a fraction of a microsecond, but you can't be *less* than 1 mile away from your house and then be *more* than a mile away a moment later without crossing the 1 mile mark. Teleporting isn't a thing when you're walking down the street. What your friend is correct about is that human measurement is always inexact. Measuring sticks might be imperfect, they might have a small degree of error, humans might read off the scale wrong, the situation might change between measurements, the phsical world doesn't play nicely in black and white boxes. Exact things cannot be measured, but they do still exist. There is a sphere around your house that measures all the points *exactly* 1 mile away, but you'll never find them.

 Why do we feel extremely disoriented after waking up from a nap, but not as much from a regular night's sleep?

From my understanding, this is due to REM sleep cycles. When you sleep, your body goes through 90 minute Rapid Eye Movement cycles. Near the middle of these cycles, you go into deep sleep, where most of your dreams are. So when waking up after a full night, you have already done 5 or 6 otr 7 of these cycles and dont seem so disoriented. When taking a nap, if you nap for perhaps only 60 minutes, you are waking up in the middle (deep sleep), causing you to feel very disoriented. This is why you commonly hear "90 min powernap" becuase you are waking up after completing a full cycle and not in during one.

 Why cockroaches tend to die on their back?

When they're approaching death they lose coordination of their legs. The legs spasm and kick, often flipping the roach onto its back. If it's on its back in this state of poor health it probably can't get itself the right way up again. So it stays on its back until it dies. And that's some bleak shit.

 How laser pointer image heads work?

That piece of glass (or plastic) is called a diffraction grating. it's a carefully shaped lens that takes the light out and scatters it in odd patterns. A much simpler one can be seen in old-style overhead projectors, the sort you use with those transparent acetate sheets. In the case of the projector, that sheet of glass (with all the circles on it) is actually a standard lens, hollowed out, and sliced horizontally, then with all the slices nested into each other. the image-making grating in the laser pointer's tip has a much more complicated lensing shape, but is roughly the same. the actual manufacturing method is probably very different, though--EVERY current Canadian plastic bill contains one of those diffraction gratings as well, as a counter-counterfeiting measure. I THINK the Aussie bills have it too, but never having really seen Australian money close up, I don't really know.

Same organs but all shaped differently. The size of your voice box, thickness of your vocal chords, length of your throat, size and shape of your mouth, size, shape and positioning of your tongue, even your sinus passages, all play a role in how your voice sounds. And all of that is different for everyone.

 Why do we need to distinguish between rational and irrational numbers? What's the importance of knowing where they fall between the two?

Because, you can develop a definite value for a rational number, it is exact. Irrational numbers are approximations of the value, the more precise you get with it the closer you are to the true value, but you will never quite reach it. You can take pi to 25 quintillion decimal places, but you still won't have its exact value.

 What happens if you only eat rarely/one small meal a day?

An important thing to remember about fasting and starvation is that the only fuel that the brain can use is glucose. Other tissues can use protein, fat or glucose to get energy - but the brain can only use glucose. But glucose gets used pretty quickly by the body after a meal - this means that when we haven't eaten for a long time, there are very low levels of sugar in our blood and our body does everything it can do keep the remaining glucose around for the brain to use. So other tissues stop using glucose for fuel and instead use protein and fat for fuel, leaving all the glucose for the brain. When we haven't eaten for a while, we get this protein and fat by breaking down fat (for fat) and muscle (for protein). Therefore you will get thinner but you will also get muscle wasting. You will feel like you have very little energy as the body tries to conserve as much fuel as possible. It will take a lot longer than cutting out food entirely, but eventually you will die once there is nothing left to break down to make fuel. So all the glucose is used up and the brain dies.

 Difference between Euclidean and non-Euclidean geometry?

There are 7 postulates in Euclidean geometry - baseline rules that underpin the entire logical system. Non-Euclidean geometries involve changing the 5th postulate - also called the parallel postulate - to something else. You can look up a more formal statement, but the parallel postulate is the one that ensures that two parallel lines can never meet. Normally, non-Euclidean geometries deal with situations where the surface you're working with is curved.

 Before scissors or nail clippers... how did people groom their nails?

They were usually worn away by working. Before civilization, we can presume that humans worked enough for their nails to erode away by themselves, whether by dirt or other factors. And same goes until less intensive means of providing food were used - so humans would either chew on their nails in their spare time or, due to nature of work, their nails still eroded naturally. Anyone who didn't have to work that much had their nails done for them by someone/used less conventional means.

 How are computers able to understand code?

It's both hardware and software. Computers speak one language and humans speak another. Code is the happy medium that helps us give commands to computers. At the core of the computer is its brain, the CPU. It speaks in 1s and 0s. We speak English etc. The two middle-man languages AKA our "translators" are assembly and high-level programming languages. High-level programming languages include C++ and python. Assembly is literally "store This." "Add That to This." "Load That." These are the actual commands the CUP executes. Some super smart people write special programs called compilers that convert the high-level programs into the assembly that the CPU can understand.

The South Sea Company was a pyramid scheme writ large. It used the money from new investors to pay off old investors. Where South Sea differs, however, was legitimacy. James Blunt (the owner) managed to gain the support of many powerful people in the British government, including the King of England.

 Why is there a national coin shortage in the US?

It mostly stems from the pandemic. Fewer people are paying with cash/coin so there is little flow going into stores, which in turn pass it to banks, which in turn typically exchange/give coins with/to stores. In addition, the Federal Reserve is pulling back on letting coinage out due to their own issues with the pandemic. Stores are still paying change to people using coins. This lessens their supply but also creates a demand for the coins (the stores need coins to be able to pay out coins.) Not to mention, most people who get coins as change are holding onto it until they can either deposit it into a bank (which typically can't be done via drive thru and many banks still have closed lobbies) or they simply don't plan on spending it since it's safer to reduce contact with other people at this time.

 Where are we in space compared to where we were exactly a year ago?

"somewhere else" but there's no background against which to say "you are here and you were there." We can give our position relative to some other object, and describe how it has changed relative to that object. But this "where" would obviously vary depending on what other object you are using. I don't think this would necessarily satisfy the question you're really getting at.

 Why do kids like animated movies, child games etc. more than stuff for people of higher age?

Because those things are specifically geared to their interests and level of understanding. Kids just aren't as developed as adults yet. They are still only starting to experience the world and have a limited pool of reference. Kids media takes that into account by using conflicts that fall within what kids can understand. Animation can also exaggerate certain things (like expressions) making them easier for kids to read and understand.

 How are phone numbers created ad why do they need a country code? and wont we run out of phone numbers eventually? what happens then?

In order to receive phone calls all the phone systems in the world needs to configure their systems to route calls to your phone number in the right direction. It is too much to expect to have all the phone systems in the world add all phone numbers in the world to their configuration. So instead we have a system where the phone systems only need to look at the first digits to know roughly in which direction it will need to route the call. The country codes are defined by the International Telecommunications Union. The country code +1 is assigned to the Federal Communications Commission but they work with similar agencies in neighboring countries. Other countries have longer country codes. The numbers are further divided into several area codes. There have actually been some cases of countries running out of phone numbers. Or more commonly they make a system of phone numbers which does not work as the population changes. The thing is that there is no limit to how long a phone number can be. Some systems have technical issues with long numbers but there are phone numbers in use today that are over 15 digits long. And the FCC have reserved several area code for various changes to the current system.

 What makes adhesive tape actually stick?

Glue. Specifically, it is known as a pressure-sensative adhesive, meaning the glue forms a bond between two objects as you push down on the tape, effectively solidifying the glue, but also making sure that the most surface area is coated with the adhesive, which makes the bond stronger. It requires no heat, water, or solvent to stick. This glue is also susceptible to damage by contaminates, which is why a bandaid placed on a dirty arm will fall off quickly.

 How do the economics of all-you-can-eat restaurants versus pay-per-plate work?

As a former manager of an all-you-can-eat buffet I can say it has to do with volume. When you're preparing food in bulk the price per serving is lower than having to do it individually. Also next time you are at a buffet, look at the layout. Usually you'll see large amounts of vegetables with lots of different colors and a good assortment of desserts. All of these things are there to take up space on your plate so you don't get a plate full of meat. Another trick when it comes to all you can eat buffets is that they make the higher price items harder to get. This is why you have a Carving Station instead of Self Serve. That way most people will only get one piece from The Carving Station as opposed to multiples or making multiple trips because they don't want to stand in line. At the end of the day it comes down to averages. For every person who's going to eat six or seven plates at the buffet there are 10 people who are just going to get one or two so the cost per person averages out to make it profitable. I have no idea why my voice to text capitalizes The Carving Station but I'm too lazy to fix it....
