| During a nuclear disaster, is it possible to increase your survival odds by applying sunscreen? Posted: 25 Jun 2018 12:07 AM PDT This is about exposure to radiation of course. (Not an atomic explosion) Since some types of sunscreen are capable of blocking uvrays, made me wonder if it would help against other radiation as well. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 25 Jun 2018 04:00 AM PDT Hi, my name's Andrew Revkin and I've been writing about global environmental change and risk for more than 30 years. I've reported from all kinds of places, including the North Pole, the White House, the Amazon, and the Vatican. Before becoming a strategic advisor at the National Geographic Society, I worked at the nonprofit investigative newsroom ProPublica and the New York Times. You can read about my long climate journey in this Twitter thread: https://twitter.com/Revkin/status/994752818287439872 And my latest piece for National Geographic Magazine here: https://on.natgeo.com/2IiICR4 Another interesting tidbit, here's an article about the moment in 2009, when Rush Limbaugh suggested I "help the planet by dying" https://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=114029917 I'll be on at 12pm EST (17 UT), AMA!

| What is our solar systems alignment in respect to the Milky Way? Posted: 25 Jun 2018 06:34 AM PDT Essentially, are the rotational axis' of our solar system and the Milky way parallel on any plane? If not, what are their positions in 3D space in relation to each other? [link] [comments]  |

| Posted: 24 Jun 2018 01:49 PM PDT I stopped to marvel about the still-present creases that run down the legs of an old pair of cotton khaki pants. How did they manage to bend those cotton fibers in a way that has lasted so long, even after so many washes and so many wearings? [link] [comments]  |
| Chemically speaking, what is "Fishiness?" Posted: 24 Jun 2018 03:57 PM PDT A lot of fish and other seafood definitely share this trait, sometimes with smell more than flavor. What causes a fish to be "fishy?" [link] [comments]  |

| How many other species besides humans have been known to farm other animals? Posted: 24 Jun 2018 11:45 AM PDT As we all know humans farm animals such as pigs, chickens and cows, but i was interested when i learned that ants do the same thing to aphids- they farm and protect them from predators and then collect the honeydew that aphids produce. This had me wondering, apart from the two i have already mentioned, have any other species been documented farming other animals? I have been unable to find much researching online so i thought perhaps somebody could help me [link] [comments]  |
| Why are some anti depressants (like Nortriptyline) prescribed for migraine prevention? Posted: 24 Jun 2018 09:21 PM PDT In high school and college I had migraines frequently and was prescribed nortriptyline to prevent them. I was told that the drug is actually an anti depressant, but works for migraines as well. Just curious to know a deeper understanding of how this drug works. [link] [comments]  |
| Can you protect yourself against chili? Posted: 25 Jun 2018 01:04 AM PDT I was wondering if there are substances or techniques to protect against hot food. Maybe block the heat receptors with something. [link] [comments]  |
| Does a pilot hear the sound barrier breaking from the cockpit of the aircraft they are operating? Posted: 24 Jun 2018 09:07 AM PDT I am guessing the front half of the aircraft, the portion forward of the engines breaks the sound barrier first, and at that point the plane is traveling faster than sound. So will the pilot actually hear it? [link] [comments]  |
