 What's the difference between Degrees, Minutes, and Seconds (DMS), Degrees and Decimal Minutes (DDM), and Decimal Degrees (DD)?

There are 360 degrees in a circle, like the equatorial circle around the Earth. There are 60 minutes in a degree and 60 seconds in a minute. OTOH, if the minutes are viewed as a decimal quantity, there are 60.000000 (...) minutes in a degree and seconds aren't used. For example, 75 degrees, 30 minutes, 30 seconds would be expressed as 75 degrees, 30.5 minutes (seconds not mentioned). Further, if the degrees are viewed as having decimal fractions, then what would have been 30 minutes would instead be 0.5 degrees. Thus, there are 360.000000 (...) degrees in a circle.

 Why do your muscles get so sore when you have the flu??

One task of white blood cells is to repair and rebuild muscle fibres which are damaged from day to day. However, when you have the flu, your immune system diverts the white blood cells from this function to fight off the flu virus, thus leaving your muscles and joints feeling sore and achy. In addition, white blood cells produce a chemical called cytokines when fighting the infection. This causes inflammation in muscles and joints, resulting in pain.

 Why is the contraceptive pill only 99% effective? What makes it fail?

The 99% effective is not to account for failure nessisariy, it is to prevent a law suite. If the claim was 100% effective and for some unknown reason someone became pregnant, the company who manufactures and markets that contraceptive could be held liable. There would be little statistical proof of even 99%, but it does leave enough room for error just in case.

 What is the Fibonacci sequence and why is it so important?

A sequence in general is an ordered list of numbers. Extending that, sequences of interest have some kind of generating formula. For example, let *n* refer to the term number of a sequence. Then 2*n* + 1 generates the sequence {3, 5, 7, 9, ... }. Some sequences have a recursive formula, which means that the formula is based on other terms in the sequence. The classic Fibonacci sequence is one such sequence: it says that the *n*th term is the sum of the (*n*-1)th term and the (*n*-2)th term, starting with the first and second terms as 1. This generates the sequence {1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, ... }. It should be noted that "Fibonacci sequence" can refer to two things: the original one in the prior paragraph, or as a general term for similarly structured sequences. For example, the Lucas sequence is the same, but the first two terms are 2 and 1. This generates {2, 1, 3, 4, 7, 11, ... }. It is not *the* Fibonacci sequence when speaking of the famous one, but it is *a* Fibonacci sequence under the general meaning. It has various uses in number theory, geometry, and analysis. It is also one of multiple ways to find the "golden ratio," a constant which pops up with several uses much like pi or *e*. This ratio leads to a lot of geometric designs which can be used in powerful ways. For example, placing objects at an angle of the golden ratio apart is among the more efficient ways to distribute those objects for structural soundness or sun exposure or packing, which has caused a lot of numerology about it being some mystical number that "appears everywhere" (and by extension the sequence) because plant leaves or shell spirals or seed packings often follow such a pattern. It should be noted that many are just approximations or entirely different sequences, so I'd personally advise against getting deep into the superstition a lot of people hold over it, but it is a pretty neat number nonetheless; likewise, the sequence(s) is(are) pretty neat, too. It's just not as "magical" as a lot of people like to believe.

 How does taking photos with flash ruin ancient paintings, sculptures and such?

The bright light fades the pigments, that's why museums manage lighting so carefully. It's not such a big deal for a marble statue, but from a "getting people to follow the rules" perspective it's easier to just ban flash photography throughout the museum to avoid "I forgot that I'd turned the flash on in the statuary hall" mistakes.

 Why is it that a company like Apple can take iPhone preorders in advance and fulfill them over time, but a company like Nintendo will frequently sell out of new products and leave customers at the mercy of pre-ordering and over-priced second hand sellers?

Honestly, I think it's more attributable to poor decision making rather than outright malice as a lot of people will suggest. Remember that Nintendo has a hit or miss history with its gaming consoles. The N64 sold great (33M units), but the GameCube did relatively poorly (24M units, PS2 had 153M). They actually stopped production for a time in 2003 to reduce surplus stock! The Wii took everyone by surprise, selling more units in the first few months than PS3 and Xbox 360 combined (finishing with 101M units). Then came the WiiU, with a measly 13.6M units. To give some perspective, in the first two months after launch, the Wii sold 435K units, while the WiiU sold 57K units in the US. Apple, especially in the latter years of Job's life, knew it can slap its logo on a turd and make it the must have accessory of the year, and to be fair, they tend to deliver what people want. Nintendo doesn't have a comparably sized cult following. Sure you'll find people who buy anything Nintendo just cuz, but for the most part they have to convince gamers to buy their gear, and they're REALLY bad at it. They make bad design decisions (lots of gimmicks no one actually likes), and they get lucky once in a while. The Wii sold well because it appealed to a completely ignored segment of the market: non gamers and casual gamers. The switch is popular right now because it's the new toy and Zelda, but it remains to be seen whether that will translate into a hit, or quickly die off a la WiiU. I think Nintendo is unwilling to risk getting stuck with a bunch of surplus stock. They could build massive production capacity, and ensure anyone who wants one can get one, but who knows how many people will actually want one a year down the line. You don't want to set up a bunch of factories only to shut them down in six months when the novelty wears off. And you also don't want to delay the release too much while you build up stock, cuz then people will lose interest and start calling it vaporeare. They know they're tossing a dart in the dark as to whether the console will be popular (will the convertible gimmick pay off?), they don't want to risk losing a bunch of money by shutting down extra manufacturing capacity if the system is a flop, and perhaps a little bit of a desire to make the console seem more successful by selling out (though I don't think this is the main motivator as others suggest). TL;DR: Nintendo gambles on gimmicks, never knows whether their consoles will be a hit of a flop, and doesn't want to risk losing money on surplus capacity and stock, so they play it "safe".

 why does .999999 with the 9 repeated infinite times equal 1?

How do you represent 1/9 in decimal form? .11111111 repeated. So if you assume that those two are equal... 1/9 x 9 = 9/9 = 1 .11111(repeating) x 9 = .99999(repeating) .99999(repeating) = 1 This only holds true due to the opening assumption.

 Why do we have a bunch of separate teeth instead of one big "tooth"?

Well, there's a few reasons. Different teeth have different purposes, this is especially true of omnivores like humans We have sharp teeth for tearing, we have flat and thin teeth for ripping, and we have flat and thick teeth for crushing and chewing. Try to crush an ice cube or piece of lettuce between your sharpest teeth... your dentist will thank you for the extra spending money. This is, of course, true in non-omnivores, just to a lesser extent. In terms of development, one big tooth would be much more problematic than many little ones. It would still have to be somewhat different than the bone comprising the rest of the skull, but all of it growing at once makes maintenance difficult. It would also make the process of losing teeth obviously much more troubling, furthering problems with development. Also, a bird's beak is somewhat different from a big tooth. A lot of the functions of teeth (like grinding) are relegated to other parts of a bird's digestive system, enabling the beak to specialize in other roles.

 What makes a substance inedible or poisonous? And what happens in the body once someone consumes it?

Well a lot of things make something inedible. Something that your stomach can’t dissolve (metals, plastic) will just sit in ur stomach until it gets stuck or passed through ur bung hole. Something can be poisonous and cause cell death when absorbed, or something can have organisms in it that can make you sick (fecal matter, raw meat, etc). What it does in the body, and the damage it causes mostly depends on what the material is

In order to create glucose they not only need energy but also the atoms that make up glucose. Glucose is mostly composed of carbon and hydrogen atoms. The plants get the carbon from carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and hydrogen from water. This does leave an excess of oxygen atoms which gets released as oxygen molecules into the atmosphere.

 What happens to an enemy state's embassy in case of war?

Generally, they are allowed a few hours/days to leave the country in peace, under diplomatic immunity. The thing is, most countries who host an embassy also maintain one of their own in the other country, so whatever they do to the diplomats of the enemy could also be done to their own in retaliation. Furthermore, there has been very few events in modern history where it was not obvious at least a few days beforehand that war was about to be declared and this is generally the time where diplomats make their exit. In the off-chance this does not happen, the embassy and its staff are pretty much considered hostages (or spies) and held prisoner. [This is one of the few examples I can think of]( URL_0 )

 How did AutoCAD become the industry standard for drafting when it is horrendously buggy and prone to crashing?

I used the Autocad 13 version in the early 2000s at school. It does not matter how buggy it is if it is the only program available, or the program that managed to get into the school. It was one of the first digital drafting programs to gain any kind of success, and they cut a lot of price deals to get into schools meaning that they got firmly established before their competitors could. Once a school is dedicated to a program ecosystem it is not easy to switch, even if it is buggy. And while it was buggy for us, it was better than the other option which was drawing by hand.

 Why is -40 the same in both Celsius and Fahrenheit?

Both scales are linear measurements of the same phenomenon with a different intercept and slope. So they have to intersect *somewhere*. It just so happens that this intersection occurs at -40 degrees Celsius. In contrast, Kelvin and Celsius (or Rankine and Fahrenheit) don't intersect because they have the same slope - 1 degree indicates the same increase in temperature.

 How can we know there is an infinite number of prime numbers?

I'll try to explain the proof fergunil wrote with more colloquial terms. Let's make a list of a bunch of prime numbers. Maybe it's all of them, maybe it isn't. Lets multiply all of those numbers together. We now have a number that obviously cannot be in our list. Let's then add 1 to this number. Now, when you add 1 to any number, the number you get will not share any factors in common with the other one (except 1 of course). So, this new number we made cannot have any of the prime numbers in our list as a factor. That means that this number is either prime itself or has prime factors that are themselves not on our list. So, we've proved that any finite list of prime numbers can be used to construct a number that is either a prime not in our list, or has a prime factor not in our list, we must conclude that there is no such thing as a finite list of "all" prime numbers, and thus there are infinitely many of them. Since for any particular prime number, there are a finite number of prime numbers smaller than it, then there can be no "largest" prime.

 How does my phone never "freeze" while my computer "freezes" on a consistent basis?

Well, theres a few factors here. 1)Phones are pretty closed off from the outside- There are very few internet auto-downloaders, popups, etc. that function on phone browsers, unlike on computer browsers. Apps available for download are all (mostly) examined and approved before becoming available for public download. These both yield a much safer environment for your phone than the computer. 2)Computers have a lot of moving parts, where phones do not. PCs operate on a hard disc, which is like a stack of CDs with record-player needles reading and writing to them. The hard disc, both the needles and the discs can degrade or break over time. Phones operate with non-moving parts, with virtual storage like a USB flash drive, and are less likely to degrade. 3)Phones are often traded in and replaced far more often that computers are, giving you a new, fresh, well-functioning device ever year or three. 4)Phone operating systems are compact and concise, and automatic updates are usually impossible to avoid. Computer operating systems are very broad, and as programs are installed and uninstalled over and over, it can bog down the computer's registry. (The registry is like the map of all the files, what they can do, where to find them, and how they may do things) Sometimes deleting programs without properly uninstalling them can cause issues. Computer freezes can be the result of many things, and these things are often impossible to do on a phone in the first place.

 How is it that very public figures can continually use musicians work during events without copyright issues? Especially when musicians themselves come out denouncing the use of their work?

In the USA there are 3 organizations that handle music licensing: ASCAP, BMI & SESAC. If you are a musician, you submit your music to one of these organizations, and then they collect royalties for you. They then charge radio stations, bars, arenas, restaurants, etc a license fee for playing music and then collect stats on what songs are played and pay out the royalties accordingly. The upside of this system is that each musician doesn't need to individually go sign a contract with each radio station, bar, arena, etc. The downside is they lose control of where their music is played. This only covers playing the original song. If you want to use the song in a commercial, movie, etc, then you will need to sign a contract with the artist.

 why is it easier to look at the sun at dawn even if you can see its full shape?

Compared to when the sun is directly overhead, when it's close to the horizon, the rays of light go through much more atmosphere before reaching your eyes. More atmosphere means more deflected light (thus the pretty colors!), less intensity, and easier on your eyes.

 Why is it easier to complete a maze puzzle by starting at the finish?

The person made the maze to be tricky from one direction, so it is often obvious when worked in the other direction. Like how it might be hard to find your way from the root of a tree to a particular leaf, but it is obvious to find your way from any leaf down to the root. Another ways to crack mazes is to follow the lines in from one side. Blindly trace a few lines from one side in red, and trace some lines from the other side in green, and the path through the maze will be a clear gap between all the red and green lines.

 How do you interpret standard deviation and your mean?

(What do you speak besides English? If you know French I can try that if it helps.) The mean is the average, so it's like the 'center of mass' of all the data. For normally-distributed data, it's the most common value at the middle of the bell curve. The standard deviation is a measure of how much variety, or difference, there is in the data. A small standard deviation means all the values are close to the mean, and a large standard deviation means it is more common for values to be far away from the mean. In your assignment, is the data just lists of numbers, or do they give a situation like "the following are the ages of people in an art class" or something? These two concepts are usually easier to pick up when there's some context.

 How do DNA or cells grow a body? If all DNA or cells are "identical" then how to they know to grow a lung or a brain at the right time?

Sensing what is around them is actually a crucial part of that, yes. That's especially true for a newly-forming baby in the womb. To simplify a bit, cells start out in a fetus as essentially blank cells called stem cells. They are pre-programmed by evolution to undergo a process called differentiation which makes them take on a particular type of cell, like a skin cell, or a liver cell. Then, those first few liver cells begin to multiply so your liver forms. Cells have all kinds of intricate coding in their DNA to tell them what kind of cell they should differentiate into. As for DNA, every cell in your body contains essentially the same copy of the DNA. But they don't use the entire thing - not even close! So, a liver cell only "reads" the parts of DNA that a liver cell needs to. You've probably heard of stem-cells, those are these so-called "blanks". Getting stem cells from non-fetus sources is kind of a huge deal, mostly because getting them from fetuses is highly controversial, and technology is rapidly improving in this regard. If you treat them right, they can become any kind of cell, really.

 Why are air vents always placed by windows? Doesn’t that defeat the purpose? Wouldn’t the room be more efficiently cooled/heated if the vent was placed somewhere else in the room?

Window glass is the coldest part of a wall. When warm room air hits it, the air cools, and cool air sinks. The movement of cool air creates floor drafts that most people find uncomfortable. The placement of forced-air heat registers or baseboard heating units under the windows counteracts this process by sending up warm air to mix with the cool. The end result is that the room feels more comfortable. At one time, builders didn't understand this process. That's the reason that one of the stereotypical descriptions of old houses is that they're "drafty". EDIT: I'm not in construction. I copied this from the This Old House website.

 Before super basic commodities like soap and toothpaste came about, how did people brush their teeth and get clothes clean?

Depends on where you were. In parts of Asia, brushing your teeth with a loosely shredded tea tree stick would do a nice job in your teeth. Other places it was just a stick. Or more frequently, nothing. Teeth were gross and breath was worse. Clothes were actually easier, you just get them wet and scrub them against a rough rock. You've never seen this in a book or movie? And by 'easier' I really mean simpler, it was a huge pain in the ass. But soap isn't as new as you might think. Simple soaps made from ash and tallow have been in use for probably 5000 years. It could basically be made from waste (tallow has a lot of uses, but ash is just ash) so anyone with the knowledge and interest could make it.

 If I buy shares at one value then later sell them at a higher value, who/what is funding that profit to me? Is someone/thing out poorer as a result?

In theory, the company itself is funding the increase. When you bought it, everyone believed the company was worth $50 a share. Since then, the company has done something to increase their profits and now everyone believes the company is worth $65 a share. You have made $15, but nobody has *lost* $15 - the value of the company has increased because they’re providing a service customers are more willing to pay for. Long term investing isn’t “zero” sum, everyone can win. Now if you bought a stock in a certain stop for games and then sold it to some idiots for 400x its value, then they’re gonna lose money when they find out that nobody else will pay that price. There are also more complex things like stock options where you’re directly betting against another trader, and that does have losers.

 If we’re able to cloud seed areas like Abu Dhabi and make it rain in the dessert why isn’t this ever used for fighting fires like the ones we’re experiencing? Does it simply boil down to expense?

Cloud seeding has two problems: 1) It doesn't work if there aren't pre-existing clouds to begin with. IE, the air needs to be close to the humidity saturation point for cloud seeding to work. Abu Dhabi sits on the ocean and the air is always very close to the humidity saturation point. Despite there being a lot of water in the air, humidity almost never rises above the saturation point and so it doesn't rain. But there is still a massive amount of water in the air, which makes it possible to induce rain through cloud seeding. In the specific case of wildfires - wildfires in the western US occur precisely because the air is extremely dry. Cloud seeding doesn't magically create water out of nothing, and if there is no water in the air to begin with you can't use cloud seeding to create rain. 2) There are liability issues surrounding cloud seeding in the US. If someone, including the government, induces rainfall through cloud seeding and that rainfall causes damage to someone else's property, then whoever seeded the cloud is responsible for paying for that damage. If someone dies as a result of the rain, then whoever ordered or carried out the cloud seeding could very well be charged with manslaughter. So even when its possible to conduct cloud seeding operations, its legally too risky for anyone to want to get involved. To take the wildfire example, imagine that cloud seeding was used to put out a wildfire in town A but town B got flooded as a result. The fact that town A was saved from fire doesn't excuse the cloud seeder from the damage that they caused to town B. If the cloud seeder had done nothing then they wouldn't have any liability for town A's destruction. But the fact that they intervened to save town A now makes them responsible for the destruction of town B. This isn't a problem in countries like Abu Dhabi or China where the government has no legal liability for its actions.

 Why does some thunder crack through the sky doing a csshhhkrr sound and other ones produce a deep bass-boosted BOOOM?

It largely depends on how close you are to it. The closer you are, the better the sound. It should resemble a loud crackle. But as you move away from the thunder, the sound wave starts to disperse and the sound gets less clear. So you ear a *boom* type of sound. Picture the sound wave as a bunch of people pushing each other in evry direction. After a while there's less of a reason to push people so the *fuzz* in that crowed gets less obvious, less clear.

 Why does honey crystallize in the container, and how does putting it in warm water reverse what is happening?

Honey is mostly made of sugar, plus some protein and a tiny bit of water. Sugars like to stick together, and this is what happens with honey in the bottle. As honey ages it can squeeze out the little bit of water in its structure, and this forms the crystals. Warming up the honey lets the water reenter the solution.

Nerve impulses - if you know someone with restless leg, or you've drunk far too much coffee, you know the sensation of your nerves pulsing without your desire. Meth is a lot stronger stimulant so more random nerves fire, and the brain is good at making up stories to explain sensation.

You can fast charge a lithium battery to 80%, and then you have to slow the charge rate down or you'll damage the battery. Here's a simple analogy: If you're trying to fill a glass with orange juice right to the top, you don't pour it in at full speed until it's full like [some crazy person]( URL_0 ). As the glass gets full, [you pour slower]( URL_1 ) and let the juice *trickle* in until the glass is full.

 Why does drinking alcohol stop an LSD trip?

Benzodiazepines (Xanax, Klonopin, etc) are known to reduce the effects of psychedelics. Those drugs work on GABA receptors. Alcohol too effects GABA receptors so it can be expected that it could have a similar effect. Personally, I have never experienced this with alcohol, but every body (and trip!) is different.

 How does the entire staff of a major motion picture get paid? Are they salaried or job-to-job?

It depends. The movie itself will only have a set budget and pays for the 'wages' out of that. So there's only enough money to pay for that job. So technically everybody is getting paid job-to-job. But movie studios want to keep good workers available so may be prepared to offer people contracts for set periods of time to keep them around. A lot of work is also outsourced to other companies who will also have a mix of permanent staff, contract workers and short term/day labourers. They will often have a set amount paid to these companies, who then decide how to split it amongst their workers. Often a lot of people/companies (esp back of house stuff like editing, effects, etc) will be working on multiple projects at once. Then you have situations where production/technical companies are also financial backers of the project and how much everybody gets paid will depend on how much the movie makes. In short - it's complicated and each studio, movie, company, and worker will have a different way of doing things. But the more technical your job is the more likely it is you have a favourable deal. The coffee guy for example probably gets paid daily (or works for free to get a foot in the door). The labourers like riggers, set builders, etc would probably be contracted for the length of the movie. The technical labourers like the camera crew, lighting, sound, etc are usually studio employees shifted around between projects. Ironically enough the top end workers like directors, producers, editors, casting agents, (and actors) are hired from job to job. But also paid enough to make it worthwhile. But none of this is set in stone and working in the 'entertainment industry' is one of the most unstable jobs you can have.

 Why does our voices crack?

Our voice comes from our larynx, a muscle in our throat surrounded by tissues called vocal folds. The position of your vocal folds determine your voice’s pitch. During puberty our vocal folds grow longer and thicken to transition from the high pitched children’s voice to the deeper adult voice. As a result of the sudden growth it's hard for our vocal folds to maintain a single pitch, and the result is voice cracking. This also happens when our vocal cords are subjected to more strain then usual, like from being sick or shouting. Our voices can also "crack" while we our in stressful situations. This happens because muscles contract/tense when we our nervous, vocal cords included URL_0

 Why did the current immigrant-crisis become a problem for EU?

The main issue is that there are a lot more of them this time so there is no way to create an isolated "safe haven". The other aspect that feeds into this is that it is often motivated by economic factors which inflates the number of migrants, as many aren't actually refugees from warfare. This is why creating some giant camp somewhere isn't a viable solution; many/most are looking for better ways to make money which is why they need an economically advanced EU country rather than just somewhere not at war.

 Why did T-Rex's have those little tiny claws?

They de-evolved as a means to achieve a better counterbalance between the head and tail. Their arms evolved to become shorter and lighter as their heads and tails became more massive. The theory is also that trex spent a lot of time scavenging /scaring off other scavengers with its size, so it really didn't need arms.

Yes, once you contract the virus it is with you for life, lying dormant in your lymphocytes.

 How old maps are drawn so accurate?

Surveying techniques using trigonometry have been used for thousands of years. Essentially you start with a fixed point, and use triangles + math to accurately determine where other points are in relation to your known point. Once calculated, those points are now known, and you use them as new fixed points to survey farther out. Doing the same from a sailing ship is a bit more complicated, because the ocean is pretty flat and featureless, so determining a fixed origin point is its own challenge. You can use the stars to determine your North/South position pretty easily by measuring how far over the horizon the North Star is. The further south you are, the lower it is, and vice versa. East/West position required the invention of accurate clocks...once you set your clock's time based on a known location (ie Greenwich observatory was used for the Greenwich Mean Time), take the clock with you on your journey. When the sun is directly overhead at your location (ie its noon!), check the time on the clock...if the clock is an hour earlier, you are 1/24th of the distance around the earth West of where you synched the clock. Once you know your N/S and E/W position, you can do your normal surveying process.

 Why does it seem that U.S. construction projects, roadwork, etc. take so long to complete while in other countries it appears to be much shorter?

My dad is a project manager for a developer. I asked him this question a few weeks ago. Here's what he said: I would think it is a combination of a lot of the items the article mentioned plus many other items. There is a current lack of skilled labor which is forcing contractors to work overtime to complete projects. Also, our government regulations and review, paperwork processes keeps getting worse. The states control many of these projects but they have to meet federal guidelines to get federal funds. Double government control. Double the paperwork to get plans approved and get paid. Doesn’t help. (I have a small project right now for 1000’ of new city sewer. I need Delaware City, Delaware County, Orange Township, Army Corp of Engineers, and OhioEPA approval. And I’m paying for the work, no government funds.) One thing that was mentioned many years ago. Public projects here are awarded to the lowest bidder because of the government. However, in much of Europe and Japan, they are awarded to bidders who provides best warranty. More care taken to complete work and much less work needed to make changes because you can reuse existing base. May cost more to build initially in Europe, but much lower costs in future. Low bidder here figures they will make it up on changes. In US, we don’t care because we will just replace it… Lower bidder has to make profit so they hire lower skilled and less productive. There is a culture growing in construction trades to care less about others work. Trade A (electrician) doesn’t care about another Trade B(plumber)'s work. If Trade B does something that is in way of Trade A, they just cut through it and then don’t tell anyone. Eventually Trade A has to come back and fix. And at end of day, they don’t finish what they are doing, they just leave. Then next day they have to inevitably rework some portion of work they did yesterday. And I think our geography may play a role. Workers have to travel further because we are much more spread out. Makes for unhappy workers which equals unproductive workers.

Because inside the bottle, evaporation does not occur. When the glue is exposed to the environment, the carrier chemical evaporates due to air currents.

Of course there is a connection, but is it important? All Bandura showed was that it was possible. Hardly anybody expected something else. Children are often seen play acting things their parents do. However, when thousands of people play a violent video game almost all of them do not become violent in real life. Something is "different" in the people who become violent, and it's not the game.

 In video games, why is it so difficult for developers to make it so objects do not pass through one another?

100% accurate collision detection is extremely processing power intensive work for a computer so much so that it's not an option for real time video games. There would just be to many checks that would need to be made to see if things are colliding instead game so devs use extremely simplified collisions shapes ( like rectangles to approximate a human body) that are rarely accurate to the object in question. Many objects in the game world just simply won't have collision detection enabled period to reserve processing power. In the case your talking about it's likely that the clothing has no collision detection and the animations are likely mostly canned instead of procedural. Both would need to be true in order for the game to notice the clipping and to modify the character model to prevent it. It wouldn't be a problem if the game only had a static set of gear but since that game has a massive amount of customization it really stands out since they parent gonna enable collision or alter the animations for every single little piece of clothing as that would be a massive amount of work in itself. So answer to your question is the they cant because we don't have enough processing power to do it for a real time game. The same is true of many things when it comes to gaming so a lot of game development is fakery and optimization to create a just convincing enough world not necessarily a truly realistic one.

If that actually happened, there would probably be a lot of geopolitical chaos, but it's not that simple. The US wastes billions of dollars in wasteful spending contracts that ends up in the pockets of CEO's of military supply companies, rather than actually going toward defense. So cutting the defense budget and literally reducing the size of the military are not the same thing.

 How do places like Home Depot or Lowe’s color match paint colors from a paint chip sanple?

Basically, computers. There is a computer scanner that scans in the object you are trying to duplicate. That scanner feeds into the computer and the computer calculates the exact color recipe that has to be made. Then the tech goes and gets the colors and measures them into the right volumes and it gets mixed together, and poof. Matched colors. Not all colors can be matched exactly though. Sometimes the colors and amounts needed to match really aren't available in small batches like 1 gallon. Gotta remember, all colors are essentially made of the basic colors.

[Serious Eats]( URL_0 ) did a cool mini-study on this... indirectly.

Well mexican coke comes in a bottle, and you can read the story, but turns out that some people just prefer the taste/feel of the bottle (regardless of whats in it)... and its probably just psychological... i.e. that you THINK its better because its in a bottle.

 why does green power overload power grids?

They don't in general. It is theoretically possible for a storm to cause a wind turbine to generate more power than it is intended to handle, but such a storm is likely to destroy the turbines. I have never read of green energy overloading the grid and cannot find any actual credible sources that state as such. The problem that Green energy has is that it does not have stable power production. It has spikes of high energy production (windy day, sunny day, etc) and it has lull periods (night, still days, etc) where it produces virtually no power. We do not currently have reliable storage tech for said power and thus Green energy can only be supplementary and as such there are times when not all of that power is used.
