2022-02-05 16:27:22 WHY did pirates wear an eye patch?

The hypothesis is that pirates used the blindfold to adapt to the darkness. This way the eyes quickly adapt from nightlight to daylight.

Yet no evidence exists to support this theory, and opponents point out that deliberately closing one eye narrows the field of vision, and in combat it could cost a pirate his life. Open / Comment

2022-02-02 15:39:35 WHY don't monkeys sound like humans?

Scientists have discovered that the closest human relatives, chimpanzees, cannot speak due to the fact that their analog of the speech gene, inherited from our species through a common ancestor, has evolved in a completely dissimilar way from humans.

So far, it has not been fully clarified exactly which genes are involved in speech, but it is believed that the FOXP2 gene plays a key role, since mutations and disorders in its operation in humans are generally accompanied by impaired verbal ability.

However, it has been determined that the human FOXP2, and monkeys are not only different in appearance, but also have distinct functions, causing various effects on the work of the same genes, which is why monkeys can not speak. Open / Comment

2022-01-28 15:18:50 Tesla Recalls Nearly Half A Million Model 3, Model S Cars

Tesla will recall more than 475,000 electric cars due to two malfunctions related to rear-view cameras and hoods, according to National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA)’s response to the company's appeal. The total number of recalled vehicles is almost equal to the total number of cars delivered over the last year: 499,550.

One of the issues is a defective rear-view camera that reportedly was detected in 356,309 cars. The NHTSA documents indicated that the problem had affected 2017-2020 Tesla Model 3 vehicles.

The second problem was said to be caused by hoods that can open spontaneously in Model S cars. This malfunction was said to affect 119,009 Tesla Model S cars, produced between 2014 and 2021.

Tesla Customer Service is expected to check all damaged vehicles and replace or add new details for free. If the owner has already fixed the defect earlier at his own expense, the company would pay compensation. Open / Comment

2022-01-28 15:17:05 The theme extends to the cabin, which is mostly indistinguishable from any other Accord. The leather-wrapped steering wheel sprouts a pair of paddle shifters for the 10-speed automatic, but they're rather insubstantial. The seats and black cloth/leatherette upholstery are the same as you'll find elsewhere on the range, and there's nary a hint of accent stitching to liven up the desert of dark finishes. Sport pedals add some small flair, but they account for about 10 percent of the excitement that a Sport-badged vehicle demands. Open / Comment

2022-01-28 15:15:46 2022 Honda Accord Sport Exterior Color: Sonic Gray
Interior Color: Black
Wheel Size: 19-inch
Okay, so one thing the Accord is not is exciting to look at. My tester wears the Civic Type R's Sonic Gray paint well, and a host of gloss black and chrome accents lend it some spice, but the overall shape is a bland one. There’s little flair in the three-box design. I do like the vaguely liftback shape and the chrome strip that connects the headlights at the front, even if it's unibrow-like. This isn't an unattractive car, but when I see the verve and drama of a Sonata or K5, the Accord starts feeling anonymous. The Sport does add some unique wheels, badging, and a small spoiler on the rear deck, but overall it's a challenge to pick out from the broader family. Open / Comment

2022-01-20 09:19:10 WHY are icebergs called freshwater reservoirs?

Today, the earth's population consumes only about 0.01% of the planet's freshwater supply per year. So where is the rest? 70% of the water is preserved in Antarctic glaciers.

Using icebergs for drinking water cannot be called an idea of our time. Back in 1773, the crew of the famous James Cook collected 15 tons of drinking water from Antarctic icebergs for his ship, The Resolution.

Water consumption in the world has increased sevenfold in the 20th century alone, and there is no stopping it. Pretty soon, even developed nations will lack fresh water. It would then turn out to be economically feasible to extract water from icebergs. Open / Comment

2022-01-18 17:06:52 WHY do we have nightmares?

Dreams are a way of processing disturbing impressions and emotions a person has to experience in his or her life.

When a dreamer falls asleep, the psyche layers the bad memories onto a specific context, and thus the fears associated with them are dissipated.

Frequently, the sources of nightmares lie in work, worries about financial well-being, and major changes in one's life. Open / Comment

2022-01-16 20:39:04 WHY do the windows inside the car freeze?

Windshield icing is caused by the fact that the glazing is always warm when the engine is on and the air conditioning system is running. After the engine is turned off, the windows begin to cool.

Since the windshield is tilted, the cooling process is faster than the rest of the glazing. As a result, the moisture vapor that is present inside the cabin turns into an icy crust, and the windshield frosts up from the inside first. Open / Comment

2022-01-12 22:15:14 WHY shouldn't we store gasoline in plastic containers?

Many people who have heard of this unspoken rule believe that gasoline should not be stored in plastic containers since it may corrode the walls. However, that's not the case.

Gasoline cannot be stored in plastic as it produces gasoline vapors.

And the plastic itself is much more susceptible to becoming electrified than metal canisters.
That is why if filling plastic containers with gasoline, you run the risk of ending up with an explosion. Open / Comment
