A good setting/location for a scene that would involve some sort of action?
Question by trs_shortie9: A good setting/location for a scene that would involve some sort of action?
For a drama class, we have to come up with a setting and then a set design for a scene. This scene will be a 10 minute improvisation of 2 characters talking. Wanted to have it set in a coffee shop but was told that something like that wouldn’t work because he doesn’t want to see the characters simply sitting for 10 minutes. Any ideas? I would really appreciate them.

God, how I hate stupid drama class assignments. A 10 minute improv? that’s longer than they do on Who’s Line Is It?
Do a robbery of the coffee shop, that’ll be full of “action” Sounds like another pin headed teacher who does not explain the assigments thoroughly enough, unless, of course, you did not pay attention.

How do you feel about that beef recall?
Question by Mz Senoir: How do you feel about that beef recall?
If I can remember:
about 143 million pounds of beef were recalled because of abuse towards sick animals in California. I found it horrifying to watch that 30 sec clip.

Why do sexy parts have to have poop and pee come out of them?
Question by Dr. Bottom Contributor IV: Why do sexy parts have to have poop and pee come out of them?
Was this a design flaw? Or is poop and pee really sexy, but we have been conditioned to think otherwise?

Answer by blackskull2k32003
Because to have good, you also need evil. Poo and pee is the evil side of “sexy parts.”

Can you write a function in two variables that exhibits chaotic behaviour?
Question by Mechoman: Can you write a function in two variables that exhibits chaotic behaviour?
I recall analysis of the Newton-Raphson method for iteratively solving polynomials – depending on the initial value chosen, the equation would ‘home in’ on a function.
At certain values, f(a), the equation would head off to inifity, and for infinitesimally different values to this, f(a ± ?a), a solution would be found.
Can you list any others functions that exhibit chaos in two variables?
Best answer:
Answer by Scythian1950
It depends on what you’re looking for. An easy way to put together a function that has a random output is through combining a rational with an irrational number, such as Sin(x) + Sin(?x). However, this is still differentiable everywhere, so it wouldn’t be a fractal. It’s difficult to devise a function in terms of elementary functions that’s a fractal, because it’s the same thing as attempting to write a function in terms of elementary functions that one CANNOT differentiate. Good luck with that. But if one is allowed to use infinite sums or products or limiting case functions in constructing such functions, yes, it’s possible. A variation of Dirichlet’s function (see wolfram) could get you such a function that is not only non-differentiable everywhere, but is chaotic as well. Another good example would be a variation of the Weierstrass function, see wiki.

Why are athiests claiming to be so much smarter than Christians?
Question by You lose: Why are athiests claiming to be so much smarter than Christians?
yet to stupid to do basic research like google the Lourdes miracles, gifts from God proven by science. Why does faith cause them such frothy fear and loss of reason.

Proven by science? I think you’ll find that by definition supernatural miracles are outwith the scope of scientific study.

Could someone help me with this?
Thanks,
Why do proponents of Intelligent Design use the eye to refute the theory of evolution?

How does he use “design flaws” such as the blind spot in the retina as evidence for evolution?

Here is Ken Miller’s essay.

Question by *Expecting Another*: What kind of questions should I ask a potential wedding photographer?
I have no experience with photographers, and I really do not even know what the cost for a service like this would be. I feel stupid calling someone blind and not even knowing what to ask. Can anyone give me some advice on questions that I should ask a potential photographer? Also what a ballpark figure for a wedding photographer? Thanks!

Should we avoid calcium and magnesium in hair products?
Question by Denise H: Should we avoid calcium and magnesium in hair products?
Hard water is bad for hair because of calcium and magnesium. Most organic substances contain calcium and magnesium (even fruit). Wouldn’t the ingredients in hair products have those components as well? And if so why aren’t we concerned about hair creams, shampoos, gels, and conditioners as well?
Best answer:
Answer by Sur La Mer
If you’re too concern about the hard water in your hair, rinse them with bottled water. That’s what I use when I’m traveling. Some celebrities, ship Perrier Water to wherever they’re vacationing, and wash their hair with bottled Perrier water or spring water.
Anything that’s in our shampoos, whether OTC or Salon products, can’t be that bad, they’ve had the same ingredients since the 60’s, when bottled shampoos came out. Before then, we’ve used a bar of soap to wash our hair. The FDA recalled a product this week that’s organic. Not everything is safe anymore!
I don’t use conditioner on my hair, and my profile shows that cheap OTC .99 shampoo on sale can’t be that bad. What’s bad and damaging to hair: hair dyes (causes hair loss), perming, relaxers (contains formaldehyde causing cancer), hair straightening (causes hair to not grow normally), heating curlers, anti-acne products, Proactive which contains carcinogen causing cancer, washing in hot water (in those order).

Why do adoptive parents want a baby that looks like them?
Question by cowboy_fan: Why do adoptive parents want a baby that looks like them?
I asked in a previous post about people only wanting white babies. One of the prevailing answers is that people want a baby who looks like them. Why do adoptive parents want their baby to look like them? To be honest, I think this is a stupid answer. Other than that I really can’t come up with anything else. I think this makes no difference at all in the parent adoptee relationship. What are your thoughts? For some reason I can’t gather my thoughts around this so if somebody could help it would be great.

Answer by Snap
So they can tell the baby they are its biological parents.

Q&A: Is there building code on where the central AC compressors should be installed?
Question by TfC_137: Is there building code on where the central AC compressors should be installed?
Our new construction home is scheduled to close next month., but the location of the AC compressors is really annoying. The compressors were right on one edge of our extented patio at first. I think that is a design flaw I had not expected. Other houses don’t have our issues since our house is flipped. I expressed my concern to the builder on the safety (kids will play on the patio)and noise issues. They said it was impossible to move to the other side at the current stage. However they did move a little bit to allow a seperation (one foot, with some plants put there). I really appreciate their gesture. But is that really what can be done? Is is possible that the current location violates some building code? How to find out if that is the case?
Best answer:
Answer by glenn
With the pipes and electrical box, I would bet it is very expensive to move at this stage. Building code is different in every city. Your city might have something about this but I can’t imagine that they would.
