  1. She memorised already entire sentences at 6 months old.

  2. It is not even that healthy to drink orange juice for breakfast. Which is what should have been mentioned, too.

  3. It is not about providing you with a useful service or information that could help your doctor. It is about getting your data for drawing a genetic map of the world, and you even pay for it.

  4. Capacitors and resistors that are rated too weak are used (LCD Panels and Tv's) , bearings are seated in plastic housings (washing machines and tumblers), drain pipes or water outlets are designed to clog (refrigerators and coffee makers), rechargeable batteries are non-replaceable (electric toothbrushes and shavers), etc etc. Small appliances are designed to work for 2 - 3 years, bigger ones for 3 - 5 years. That's it. We have to get back producing resource friendly stuff again, instead of this waste. We have to make things again for people, not for getting a handful shareholders even richer. And btw, Whirlpool has among the worst designed appliances in the market.

  5.  AwesomeDudes  It's the acidity on empty stomach which is not good

  6. 1:54 This is wrong and MUST be corrected. The passengers are not sharing swimming pool, entertainment and dining facilities at this ship. The people are isolated in their cabins. Some of them are allowed on deck for 1.5 h in strictly organized, small groups.

  7. I do admire her skill to protect her company, but if it was me ... if I had to say such things for more than a few months I'd get stomach ulcers and depression. I could not keep on saying these lies.

  8. Don't forget that most of his story is still correct.

  9. I think they may change things here and there a little, from various reasons. This could be private reasons, or because they quickly learn what they are expected to say. Mr. Shin would be well one person who could set this right.

  10. The varying pH values suggest that the acidity does not originate from the carbonation ("bubbles"). It most likely stems from food acids that had been added to round up the flavours. Also, please don't call it water. This is not water, but a soft drink, albeit a healthier one than the usual ones.

  11. Carbonated plain water is around pH 4. However it does not harm your teeth or t least not much, as carbonated water does not contain any sugar. The lowering of the mouth's pH is only brief. Or system can cope with it, unless you keep on drinking it constantly every minute. This video is not good information.

  12. Don't spend extra money on these bacteria, and eat the one you like that does not have so much starches and sugar. That's the whole story.

  13. Be lenient with him, folks. The core of his story is still true. It's not that he was in a holiday camp and he makes a prison camp out of it. Don't forget also that wide parts of his stories are from an age when he was a child.

  14. I agree. He did not really understand the consequences. Another piont: He did say in the course of all the questioning he learned very quickly what was the most "efficient" way for him to answer. For example he learned how to "streamline" his answers when questioned by South Korea Officials over the course of months. Partially he adopted that as his reality, and partially he thought not that the core of his story was changed by it, he did not think it as lies.

  15. 110 Euro cheap? For a pair of tinted carbonate screens and an injection moulded frame?

  16.  @waynelast1685  filler is something different as to make something entertaining.

  17. They want to pick around into the soil with their beaks, only then they feel happy. Roaming a round in a wire cage is not the same, even though it's better than the industrial high density keeping.

  18. May be they would feel honored if they'd get a few training lessons by a famous soccer trainer.

  19. That were two parts covered, the nutritional value of the eggs and the living conditions of the hens. You missed the third relevant point: Pesticides, hormones, antibiotics, etc. Framer Beth's hens definitely look happy. They behave just like chicken behave. They are strong and curious. Those high density caged chickens are shy, nervous and stressed.

  20. All social media apps, with the worst being Facebook and their children. And all Google apps. Even their seemingly unsuspicious keyboard logs your keystrokes. You wonder what they are doing with all this data? I think it's not really the biggest of concerns what any NSA is doing with it, but Foogle, Sugarmountain, and Co. Weather and Map apps are excellent to harvest your location and where you sleep and work. Social media apps who are your friends, family, business contacts, and what you do and what you like. Gallery/Video apps and music players what you buy and what you like. Fitness trackers, that's obvious. Cloud storage basically everything what you store there. Who uses clouds to store anything personal like address books, well, can't help you at that marginal IQ-level, sorry. Fingerprint scanner and Face-unlocker your biometric data. Now listen, Google has ALL of that. Go figure, the first thing is to uninstall Google apps.

  21. CAD 6 per 30 minutes is robbing, not parking fee.

  22. That is no wonder bcs you have to compete with hundrets who bought even better certificates.

  23. Backpain and other form of pain are mostly caused by sedate lifestyle.. No pill will cure that and the doctors who prescribe this are abusing their oath.

  24. 3:26 that sounds so much different than what people in the US commeneted

  25. 1. Using weaker parts for switches, capacitors, resistors, mountings, seals, valve, etc., and then offering a replacement only for a complete section or module, with an asking price that's close to a brand new product is common practice in the entire electronics and household goods industries. After so many years the manufacturers now exactly how long a part will make it. They have accurate data for these electronic parts, a capacitor, an air-con compressor, a switch, a light bulb, and so on. A capacitor only one grade higher in a power supply may cost 2 cents more, but degrades after 15 years instead of 3 only. 2. Offering a compensation / extended warranty / making a replacement part suddenly available that previously was not, because a company had been caught in the act, that is like the famous needle in the haystack. It does not stop the bad practice, which needs to stop altogether. 3. The manufacturers will do everything making sure that a repair is not economical, because the basic idea is selling more produce, not creating work for repairmen. As we all know. The regulatory bodies everywhere in the world should implement policies and rules which are suitable to stop this wasteful producing behaviour effectively, and as a side benefit also supports the small local industries - the salt of the earth.

  26.  @LodyLynn  I do not see reason to take back any of my words. I do think this unacceptable situation exists, because they have to stay on that ship. The problem might be the air-con system and the sanitary system. Chinese block off entire housing blocks for similar reasons. Than longer they keep the ship there they are killing more people.

  27. The air cleaning function is only one of the 3 functions the Dyson has. I would not give 800 bucks for a Dyson, but to compare that to a purpose build air-purifier and then constantly blaming it for a high price, that is a bit unfair.

  28. No way a stent has to cost CAD 70,000

  29.  @DawnDiggetyNoDoubt  Exactly. One would not believe medical staff doing such simple mistakes. It is unbelievable . . . trained people!

  31.  @Sammo212  just like all these soft drinks, yep

  32.  @nick_no1  the masks are ineffective because the masks are ineffective. As simple as that.

  34. You don't have to eat "on the go", which you say when you mean: commuting. That's unhealthy, beside of eating that fatty burger stuff. Wouldn't it be better if you woke up a 30 minutes earlier, and prepared your own breakfast?

  35. That is what they should have done from day 1, a staggered approach to test and release people from board.

  36.  @cindif4015  I would not stay on that giant petri dish 1 minute longer than I am forced to, even if they left me living in the jungle after.

  37. You always compare yourself to the US and then, of course, you are still looking better.

  38.  @eyeonlife  Not wrong ... the resulting acidity is of much lesser stability, unlike food acids, and since there is no sugar present decay is much lesser. The effect of carbonation on the teeth is insignificant. If you do not like calling these soft drinks is up to you, however, is it right calling them water? Do the beverages above contain food acids, such as citric acid? I am food technologist by the way.

  39.  @violetviolet888  Flavoured water is water that has flavour added, nothing else. A soft drink is a drink that usually contains water, a sweetener, and a flavouring. Are any of the above containing sugar, or other sweeteners?
    2
  40.  @violetviolet888  Nobody denies that either, however the effect is far lesser than with the presence of sugar. And that is what I said from the beginning. If you are Candaian, continue drinking your orange juice in the morning. I am gving up now.

  41. One could almost think they are letting this spread on purpose. - No more international travel for a few months - Complete ban for people from China to travel anywhere - No more mass gathering like meeting, church services, sport events. - Complete disclosure of all data Chinese doctors and scientists have collected in the past 2 months. If we just continue then it was 'on purpose'.

  42. The problem is with these swap tests. They are not reliable because of a simple misconception. They take the sample from the inside of the nose. But the virus likes to live in the lower parts of the lung.

  43. You buy a bus ticket. On top of the fare price of $ 3 there are: Passenger Facility charge, Federal Tax, Segment Fees (depending on the number of bus stops within your journey), Departure and Arrival Fees, and lastly Seat Fee if you want to sit together with your kids. Total ticket price $ 5.90 pax. Going for a ride, anyone?

  44. Horrible question.

  45. Singapore, same. I never go there unless there is an item I need from them, and then I buy exactly that item.

  46. @Adeline Outside Europe Ikea does sell remarkably lower quality items. Here in the Singapore store there are items that Germans would bring straight to the dustbin.

  47. Shoes made from fabric and rubber made in Vietnam or China for $ 200. Brilliant marketing.

  48. I think the current regulations in your country actually support the companies who make fruit preparations and mixes, and sell them as 100 % natural juice. I do not see it as a critical point to add natural flavours to products for giving it a certain "branded" taste. But a product called orange juice should only be called orange juice if it is not made from concentrates or preparations, and only contains an insignificant amount of helper ingredients added. An example is the addition of Vit C as a preservative. Everything else should be clearly labelled has "orange juice preparation", "reconstituted orange juice", or "made from orange juice concentrate", or similar.

  50. . @AmusementForce A group of eager Porsche engineers build a prototype of a car that can last for at least 11 years without any service, and with a projected endless lifespan. For a year or so the car was touted as the future in the German media. But then the project was suddenly scrapped. Driving tests revealed it was likely to be lasting 25 years with near zero maintenance, except some ordinary tire and brake pads replacement. http://wikicars.org/en/Porsche_FLA Todays cars are build based on that experienece the Volkswagen Group got with it. But in a different way. They are build to NEED service on regular basis, and parts are contructed to need regular replacement in calculated interevalls. I am sure they will invent something that supposedly needs to be looked after and serviced even with electric cars. They are all like "Economy Lube".
