Schizophrenia Development - General Questions - Straight Dope
2009年12月8日 · I read once in an article that schizophrenia symptoms started ‘flourishing’ around the age of 18-20. Therefore, I’d like to know if to-be schizophrenics present some kind of odd behaviour or customs before fully developing it. Example: will a to-be schizophrenic child be totally normal until his late teen years, or will he have strange ideas, etc. I’m sorry the question is …
Difficult actors on TV shows whose characters are killed off
2025年1月7日 · The Community and Pierce Hawthorne thread got me thinking, there’s a long tradition of killing off characters on TV shows, often in creative and embarrassing ways, when the actors quit after a conflict, demand too much money and / or amenities, or are just major pains in the butt. Here are 5 I can think off just off the top of my head, without googling at all, because …
Sabine Hossenfelder - anti-science? - In My Humble Opinion
2024年10月30日 · Professor Dave has made a video criticizing Sabine for increasingly publishing anti-science and anti-establishment rhetoric, on her site, and in her articles for The Guardian and in her book. It starts out very civil but later he points out ways he thinks she is being dishonest and even lacking integrity. The reason for making this thread is two-fold: We were discussing …
American Beauty: What's up with Ricky's mom? - Straight Dope
2011年11月15日 · I haven’t seen the movie in years, but at the time I remember thinking she was clearly schizophrenic. Her controlling, closet case of a husband certainly wouldn’t have helped matters – and he probably would not have been in favor of therapy or psychiatric treatment either – but I don’t think he can be blamed for her flat affect and apparent auditory hallucinations.
Post job interview follow-up - Straight Dope
2025年1月1日 · Yes, there are other threads on this, but they are old. I am applying for a software development position - the phone interview with an HR person went well enough that I had my technical interview yesterday (yes - new year’s eve) over zoom with 3 folks (though not the hiring manager though he was invited) Should I send an email thanks? (I wouldn’t even know what …
How do mechanical watches keep time? - Straight Dope
2024年10月6日 · The back-and-forth rotation of the balance wheel, attached to the hairspring, is similar to a pendulum in that it can have a very precisely tuned period - each cycle of the balance wheel releases a step on the escapement wheel - so the tuned oscillation period of the balance wheel is converted into finite movements of the rest of the mechanism.
Wolf Hall: What did the French executioner say? - Straight Dope
2015年7月20日 · I trust I don’t need spoilers, that would be like spoiler tagging the Titanic sinking. In episode 6, just before cutting her head off the French executioner hopped to the left of a blindfolded Anne Boleyn and said something in French in order to get her to turn her head to correct way before cutting it off. It sounded like ‘ah port tele-vay’ but any version of this is …
Nuuk Airport -- now accepting A330 Jets - Straight Dope
2024年12月21日 · I also was interested in this development. Mostly I’d like to go just so I can say I’ve been to Greenland. One article I read said Nuuk only had 550 hotel rooms. I suppose a lot of people would venture out of the town for hiking/camping. But the tourist infrastructure needs a …
When did humans like us originate? - Straight Dope
2024年12月28日 · Over what span of time (because all estimates have error) did humanity as we conceive it proliferate? The answer depends upon your definitions. Match definitions to a range of estimates and we’re in FQ, not IMHO or GD. The earliest fossil evidence for anatomically early modern humans appears in Africa some 300,000 years ago. Various fossil sites in Africa date …
Sitcom wedding or birth without wackiness - Straight Dope
2024年12月26日 · Yesterday, I rewatched the episode of Modern Family where Mitch and Cam get married. I started wondering if there’s ever been a sitcom wedding or birth without sitcom wackiness.
