Even when it;s melting in the heat .

Yes humans can adapt to the enviroment they are in but it takes time.
If it were natural to walk on glass or tarmac we'd all be born with thick skin on our feet, but we aren't.
Poeple that work harfd with their hands build up calaces and hard skin over time.

No it doesn't UVA & B work ddifferntly on the skin anyway.

Maybe that's why it;'s general the less inteligent that wear less cloths to busy fantasing over other peolpes bodies
to get anything done.
Maybe that's why there's not many inventions or even art from countries were they tend to not wear many clothes .

Not sure that means much as they are on-line tests and have certain restrictions on doing things.
Maybe a VR one might be more accurate.
I don't think MENSA would accept an on-line test.

ROTFPMSL! Two wheels is stupid enough already, one wheel is definitely not a stable device. Even three can be problematic:

If you bought Apple proprietary stuff.

No, Apple refuse to license it.

Why not?

>> And that’s a big difference because of how Apple has designed the MagSafe standard. Anyone can wirelessly charge an iPhone 12 device using a Qi charger at Apple’s standard rate of 7.5W. Magnets, being a physical phenomenon, are even more universal, meaning that device manufacturers can easily stick an iPhone 12 and a Qi charger together. (Many already have.)
>>
>> The MagSafe Battery Pack looks a little funny on an iPhone 12 Pro Max
>> But those two things alone don’t make a wireless charger a MagSafe charger; actual, Apple-approved MagSafe chargers offer a charging speed that’s twice as fast, up to 15W. And that’s only available on a paltry handful of accessories: Apple’s official charging cable, Apple’s MagSafe Duo charger, Apple’s official MagSafe battery pack (even then, only when it’s plugged in), and a pair of pricey Belkin stands.
>>
>> Theoretically, there’s no reason that Apple has to restrict 15W charging to official MagSafe chargers. Any number of Qi chargers are available that offer 15W charging speeds and work with a plethora of devices. Some of them are even made by Apple’s MagSafe-approved partners, leading to awkward product lineups where some MagSafe-capable 15W chargers sit side by side on a website with identical-looking 7.5W, MagSafe-compatible wireless chargers that won’t charge your phone as fast.

Unfair business tactics, a damn good reason to use anything other than Apple.

When the iPhone 12 first came out, MagSafe looked like a way for the company to build an ecosystem of snap-on modular accessories, the sort of thing that Motorola had tried and failed to accomplish with its Moto Mods system. There were visions of port-less iPhones that could rely on MagSafe exclusively for charging and connecting to external devices.

Instead, MS tried to make their desktop OS look like a phone (Metro). Where did they get that idiot "designer"? Bill gates said it was shite.

A long time ago the government used to hand those out to pensioners or something.

Exactly how much money can you save by removing one wheel?

It was a different market. One didn't need a car driving licence if I

I can't find any evidence of this, although I'm sure it's true.

I think it would be difficult to get enough current down a USB cable to charge a car up in less that a few days .

Hardly unfair as you don't have to use Aplpe for anything.

When the iPhone 12 first came out, MagSafe looked like a way for the company to build an ecosystem of snap-on modular accessories, the sort of thing that Motorola had tried and failed to accomplish with its Moto Mods system. There were visions of port-less iPhones that could rely on MagSafe exclusively for charging and connecting to external devices.

It's more sensative so therefor better at doing certain things, better than others.
I doubt someone that is good at digging up roads would also be good at brain surgery.
Someone good at 100M races doesn't also take up marathons.

Neither is said to have weak muscles

Never really looked into that but there;s 3 wheeled trikes (converted motobikes) and even the sinclair C5

From what i can tell, it was 13.8 billion light years away when it was as we're observing it, hence the light took that long to get here. it's moved since what we're watching.

Then do them for that, not the drugs.

Crash your car and kill somebody when sober, get into the same shit as when drunk. The end result is all that matters.

Yep and the error is using the term light years for a distance measurement I guess.
So as well as going back in time there;s also the distance to be moved.

Had a similar thing in case I was on, the kids didn't outsmart the cops the defence did that.
If the kids were that smart they wouldn't have had 100s of small plastic bags in a box with over £300 in cash in it.
They wouldn;t have had longv rizzlas in there either and a lighter or two and some rolled up cardboard as filters, when the police bardged in.
They the kids also wouldn;t have let the police see them throw around 1/4 oz of something behind the sofa.

If your child is born barefoot and you never give it shoes, it will thicken it's skin as it begins to walk. In fact three of my friends when i was a kid walked around naked outside most of the time. Guess what, never cut their feet, never got sunburnt.

There isn't actually much difference between the colours for that. Otherwise they'd have to make central heating radiators black.

It's similar to walking on hot coals and laying on a bed of nails almost anyone can do it with a bit of training.
It;s about gradualy applying pressure where the sharp object touches the skin.
Or with hot coals it;s about using the right wood, raking so the cooler darker embers can be seen and walked on the smaller red embers too has they'll extinguish under pressure.

Of course it also depends on how thick your skin is too.

Here in London the tarmac got so hot it's started to melt, the same happened at hearthow airport.

Strange that the vast majority of runners wear something on their feet, I guess they know something you don't.

Not for some things but when it comes down to enviroment it takes generations and longer.
Why do you think we have pailer skins than from those that can out of africa it didn;t happen overnight or even over a few years.
Same with losing body hair after the ice age.

Depends where you live.
Why aren't babies born with thick skin on their feet for walking.
Why do babies grow hair on their head at the very least ?

Yes there is.

That's a style choice though, few people like black as a colour choice for such things.
Not many washing machines, fridges, freezers etc.. are made in black.
It's nothing to do with heat though.
Not many opt for green, blue or red, orange or even yellow.
Grey & silver seem to sell.

Well it might be fun jumping out of a plane, but you need to have a little bit of intelligence you need a chute
even though a pigeon doesn;t need one.
It also helps if you're inteligent enough to realise that you need someone that can fold a chute properly
rarther that just throw it in a plastic carrier bag. But some say such health and softy is a waste of time.

I'd be up for letting any idiot jump out of a plane and not believe H&S has a part to play.

Ah so you don;t like people doing natural things nearby to you.

I did a real test once and get a similar result. You just sit in an exam hall and write answers on paper. No different really to doing it online.

i thought it was 4% of men and 5% of women. i can't believe 1 in 10 people I meet are gay.

For the USA:

ROFL! 4.5% of Americans identify as gay or bisexual, yet 8.2% have engaged in same sex sex. So er.... gay rape?

Mostly yes. They might have had 10 happy years, but a lot are very unhappy. Mind you my Uncle stayed with his 1st wife and had one child (she already had another two) for about 15 years. The child was fine with having seperated parents (basically she now had two couples she could be with). He stayed with his second wife until he died. As for happiness, they were all always grumbling about each other, but i think i'd call it "happy". His second wife almost lost it when he passed away, but she was a little mentally odd.

I wrote that wrong. I meant a typical man and a typical woman are no longer so different to each other. Not just emotionally but physically.

Time, possible cheating , not everything can be tested on-line.

Then why don't mensa accept such things.

It seems stange that when I was talking about a student designing an propulsion system for space travel you suggested we could test it outside our building.
I thought most people know that generally speaking outside London building we have an air pressure of about 1000mb perhaps -3 to +40C air temperature which is
most;ly made up of 80% notrogen and aboiut 20% oxygen
Where as in space it;s about -270C, no pressure as such and close to no nitrogen or oxygen.
So testing such an engine outside would prove nothing.

and then there's brain strengh can be measure by how much alcohol affects you.
Oh and yuo don't need to wear clothes

I guess that's why einstiens was so well known for walking around naked and pissed up. ;-)

I prefer simcity 2000 to the later ones with better graphic but the gameplay is crap.

eye candy is nice maybe that's why I prefer certain types and not like shell suites and blue jeans.
For me testris is tetris doesn;t really matter what the graphics are like.

yes it is amazing and could the car actually drive off .
How do people get so fat , it can hardly be from eating salads and natural foods .
It must be from processed foods being delivered , I doubt she could catch a carrot if it was runing aways from her.

Doesn't suprise , there's little reason in most of the UK to hide if you're gay, but in some countries being gay means you are put to death
so obviously there are virtually no gay people in those countries.
