  • My strategy when I get repetitious “whys” has been to ask “why what?”

    Make them process the answer you just gave them and reformulate it into a question.

    If they don’t do a good job just say "I don’t understand your question, can you ask it in another way? "

    Kids like the ‘why’ game because it’s easy entertainment. Just make it less easy.






  • The Bible is not accurate regarding Jesus’ early life.

    I don’t think it’s wrong to exercise an iota of skepticism.

    Was Luke there at the circumcision? What was his source?

    Wouldn’t Jesus being trans and Luke being misinformed (or actually trying to avoid outting him) explain why there isn’t really any testimony about Jesus’s life during puberty? It was an incredibly misogynistic era right? Is it inconceivable for a person without a penis to try to pass as a man in that era?

    If a person can better appreciate Jesus by understanding him as a trans-man should a christian tell them they’re wrong? Does it put them in spiritual jeopardy? Is it dishonest to say “maybe”? I don’t think so.

    Could it be that it’s using less power as it charges? ie automatically shuts off power hungry features while charging?

    Good data is so hard to get.

    What I’d actually care about is how many minutes of usage does 30 minutes of charging get me in both standard and ekeing out as much life as I can mode.


  • Jesus on the other hand 100% had a dick. […] Jesus was 100% biologically male.

    Oh did they find his body?

    Wouldn’t it be more reasonable to conclude that the probability of Jesus being biologically male equals the human average of males being biologically male? Ie 99.5%.

    Couldn’t his radical compassion for outcasts and the downtrodden be related to personal struggles growing up with gender dysphoria?

    If you believe he was conceived in a virgin, wouldn’t it be MORE likely that he had XX chromosomes?














  • Would this more intricate engineering result in a noticeably better product for the average guitarist? Would it just be a niche curiosity for audiophiles and engineers?

    This is AskSCIENCE so it’s not surprising that you would approach the musings from this perspective.

    But OPs idea is about the intersection of science and art. I think the question is really: Would some of these ideas result in an output signal that was controllable in a new way?

    Imo this modification would empower an artist to interact with their guitar in a novel and creative way? Do I think we’ll see mass adoption, no, but I think there are definitely people out there that would be interested in playing a guitar with pickups like this. Even if it’s just part of their creative process.
