How? You're farting into a closed container (your space suit).abcderik said:So I was wondering, if I'm an astronaut taking a walk outside my space station, and as I am facing away from the station I happen to fart, will the force of the fart generate enough propulsion to drive me away from the station, thus ending up killing me?

OrangeGrayBlue said:This is actually a kind of embarassing question but I haven't found much help through my own browsing. Often during sex, I can't manage to climax. Why is this? I'm in good shape and young. In fact, out of everything I've read I'm more likely to suffer from premature ejaculation than anything else. I read that the median time to last during sex is about 5.4 minutes, and considerably less for men my age. I've gone well over 30 on multiple occasions to no avail. I've put in so much effort that I end up physically exhausting myself before I ever end up reaching orgasm. And I don't want that to sound like some sort of bragadocious claim because, frankly, I just feel embarrassed. I've even gone flaccid before managing to reach orgasm before which was simply humiliating. Even when I'm doing the deed myself it's at least a 10-15 minute endeavor. Trying to find reasons why I can't climax on google only lead me to articles intended for women. Help me gaf![]()
Whoompthereitis said:What's the best way to deal with a sore throat? I woke up this morning, and the back of my throat (the right side) feels a little swollen. What drug can I take?
When the salt water enters the throat, the solution helps to neutralize acids in the throat, restoring the natural pH balance that had been disrupted by the sore throat. By doing this, the burning sensations are relieved and the mucous membranes become less irritated, which can speed healing.

The most likely reasons are either medication or psychology. Are you on SSRIs? If so, one of their notable side effects is orgasmic dysfunction. Other OTC medications can also have that effect. For example, dextromethorphan (the "DM" in cough suppressant medicines) works by being a CNS depressant, and that is a side effect.OrangeGrayBlue said:This is actually a kind of embarassing question but I haven't found much help through my own browsing.

At least in my jurisdiction, the jury duty pool is pulled from voter registration records. So, you wouldn't necessarily need to formally rescind your voting rights. You'd just have to not register. Seems like kind of a crappy thing to do just to get out of jury duty, though.Joe said:is it possible to voluntarily revoke your voting rights in the US (without committing a felony)? also, if it is possible, does that also remove your eligibility for jury duty?
Just don't register, then. Or don't vote. It's not like they're dragging you down to the polls.Joe said:Im actually just curious about voluntarily revoking voting rights. Jury duty is more of a side question.
Nope. Chickens are, though. Crocodiles are the closest reptile relative to dinosaurs, I understand.Snuggler said:are crocodiles dinosaurs?

I've seen this gif on GAF tons of times, but I've always wondered why people use this backwards version of the actual scene?

I've seen that gif so many times I must've conflated that gif with the episode. :/
Snuggler said:could you sum up this post for me?
Summary Man said:I would, but then the next ten posts would be people bitching about the summary, completely oblivious to the fact that they're shitting up the thread way more than I.![]()

No I don't think that's possible. Kind of makes the whole democracy thing useless.Joe said:is it possible to voluntarily revoke your voting rights in the US (without committing a felony)? also, if it is possible, does that also remove your eligibility for jury duty?

Chances are, the gif was made from a video uploaded to YouTube. When people upload videos to YouTube, they flip it vertically to get around the auto-detect copyright detection. (Basically, the copyright holders upload the videos they don't want to be viewable on YouTube, and then software automatically checks every other video to see if it matches.)Professor Beef said:http://27.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_le5zugzsc91qbp4emo1_400.gif

KarmaCow said:This has been bugging me about Inception and wary of bumping it OT for this. Spoilers I guess, but it's more about the mechanics of the dream and kicks than story stuff.
So they take the drug that knocks them out for 7 hours so the dreams will be stable, but how do they get out the first dream level early? The drug makes the dream last a week IIRC and they way to get out early requires the a kick in a higher level. So they would need to fall in reality and that doesn't happen. Did I miss something or did they spend a week evading security with the risk of becoming a vegetable?
Somewhat sarcastic answer: Because DisplayPort is "better."StuBurns said:Why don't iMac's have HDMI ports so you can use them as a monitor for non 'DisplayPort' devices?
I've just been looking into it, and you can get HDMI to DisplayPort converters but can you view material that is HDCP protected?MacGurcules said:Somewhat sarcastic answer: Because DisplayPort is "better."
Somewhat cynical answer: DisplayPort is actually better than HDMI; Higher theoretical bandwidth, no licensing fees, arbitrary data channels, etc. Sure, HDMI might be more useful right now since it's what everything supports, but Apple couldn't force you to do things their way if they just let you do things however you wanted.
