If it doesn't work if Binghamton, NY, where our average low temperatures are lower than those of Helsinki during December, January and February, then I doubt it would work in Finland.
I tell you that there is a word in a given dictionary where, if you ever say the word, I will go back in time and kill your parents before you were conceived.
You can be completely confident that I will never kill your parents, even if you read the dictionary from cover to cover. This is because you exist now. If you ever will have said the word, your parents will have been dead before your conception and you would not exist now. So you will never say the word.
Thus, either I'm lying, or you'll be rendered unable to speak before you reach the right word.
So, say in this experiment you explain this to me. So I take it one step further, telling you I will give $1,000,000 if you can prove I'm lying. So you have to weigh the high probability I'm lying and will give you $1,000,000 (assuming I'm not lying about that, or course), with the low probability that you will lose the ability to speak and get no money.
I think casting Keanu Reeves as Neils Bohr was a stroke of unmatched brilliance.
Unfortunately, no matter how hard you try to get him the role, it would be so abhorrent to nature that his acting would ripple backward through time and stop the deal from ever taking place.
Just like how the Matrix sequel kept being delayed until they finally decided not to make it.

That's assuming that the oxygen and hydrogen are evenly distributed throughout space.
There are 8 people per square mile in Canada. While that means that, if I started at a random point in Canada, it would be highly unlikely that I'd run into another person (without shouting, or possibly even with), it does not mean that the average Canadian would have to walk far to run into someone else.
Large numbers of people gather in cities in the same way that the majority of the matter in the universe is centered around galaxies, solar systems, planets, etc.
Just because you're first doesn't make you the best. Hell, in theory, every democratic government to arise after the US should be better than the US because they can adjust against our mistakes, not all of which have been or probably will ever be amended by the US.
That's not to say that what we have is terrible, just that democracy in itself is flawed. But despite democracy being a poor system it's the best we've got. Even in democracy, there is no perfect system (even leaving aside lobbying and fickle public opinion). From Arrow's Theorem (aka Arrow's Paradox), the ideal democracy is a dictatorship.
Also, because we did it first doesn't mean it was our idea. Really, we just emulated French philosophers.
This is even sadder than the person who posts "F1RST!!" assuming that they actually are but end up being fourth, since this actually would be a worthwhile first post given two of the three afore you.
They've tried before to change it to "Sticks and stones may break my bones, but names will cause me years of clinical depression and crippling social anxiety," and failed.
So I do doubt ditty diddling doing diddly dreadfully damaging.
Humans and apes come from a common recent ancestor in the same way that Great Danes and dogs came from a common recent ancestor.
That is to say that humans are apes.
Apes are simply members of the superfamily Hominoidea, parvorder Catarrhini, order Primates, class Mammalia, phylum Chordata, kingdom Animalia.
Even more specific, humans are Great Apes (please ignore the narcissism), or members of the family Hominidae, which is restricted to humans, chimps, bonobos, bili apes, gorillas and orangutans.
Humans have: superfamily Hominoidea, family Hominidae, subfamily Homininae, tribe Hominini, genus Homo. Chimps, Bonobos, and Bili apes have: superfamily Hominoidea, family Hominidae, subfamily Homininae, tribe Hominini, genus Pan. Gorillas have: superfamily Hominoidea, family Hominidae, subfamily Homininae, tribe Gorillini, genus Gorilla. Orangutans have: superfamily Hominoidea, family Hominidae, subfamily Ponginae, genus Pongo.

Basically they're all interesting "wow, you can do that!?" concepts, and it's important to remember that novelty frequently takes precedence over practicality.
The problem is more that the usage of the word "or" has moved from being inclusive to being exclusive.
In the logical sense, or is inclusive, meaning that as long as one of; A is correct, B is correct; holds, then A or B is correct. For example, pennies are made from copper or zinc is a true statement for all pennies whether they are pure copper (older ones) or zinc with a copper coating (newer ones).
We differentiate exclusive "or" statements using the word "either." For example, a given penny is either copper and zinc or is pure copper. Meaning that the choice is exclusive to one of the two categories.
Of course, to directly answer your question, it comes down to whether you want to be grammatically and logically correct, or rather desire it to be perfectly understood that you mean that your "or" statement is inclusive.
Slashdot Mirror
Let me respond by making a joke:
"Aleph-naught bottles of beer on the wall, Aleph-naught bottles of beer; you take one down, pass it around; Aleph-naught bottles of beer on the wall.
Aleph-naught bottles of beer on the wall..."
Wow, does that mean we're close to discovering the largest prime?
Not close, just closer.
No matter how many primes we find, there are the same amount left over. Such is infinity.
He said 2^n-1 can only be a prime if n is a prime. He didn't say the converse was true.
Yes, but asking if the converse is true is the first natural step after you prove something.
It can, however, be answered quickly by testing the first five primes, or by noting that there are a lot more than 47 primes between 2 and 43,112,609.

To distill his point into two words "NERD RAGE!!!!"
He says that he doesn't like Star Trek, and gives reasons why.
Star Trek fans interpret his words as a hostile attack on their beloved icon, no matter what his intent.
Similarly:
Someone claims they don't like Christianity and gives examples of why.
Christians (especially fanatics) interpret his words as a hostile attack on their beloved icon, no matter what his intent.
Think of it this way:
I tell you that there is a word in a given dictionary where, if you ever say the word, I will go back in time and kill your parents before you were conceived.
You can be completely confident that I will never kill your parents, even if you read the dictionary from cover to cover. This is because you exist now.

Hey, interviewer, that's just mean.

There are solar chargers available such as the FreeLoader, which are compatible with miniUSB and USB chargers, as well as a few specific devices.

Well, yes. Relatively well at least.
I think when you mix math and science it's an applied orgasm.

Just because you won't need surgery to get it out doesn't mean you won't need surgery to put it in.

Actually, it was research:
Does watching porn whilst at work actually influence ability to get work done?
The result:
Apparently not enough to result in people getting fired for not completing tasks.
