Things that make you go "hmm...."


Recommended Posts

If the #2 pencil is so popular, why is it still #2?

Jer 29:11-“For I well know the thoughts I am thinking toward you, declares Jehovah, thoughts of peace, and not calamity, to give you a future and a hope.”

Scientists at MIT developed a technology called plant nanobionics, where spinach plants were embedded with carbon nanotubes that allow them to act as environmental sensors. The spinach plants can detect specific chemicals in the soil, including compounds found in explosives, such as nitroaromatics.

 

When the plants detect these chemicals, they emit a fluorescent signal, which can be captured by an infrared camera. The camera, connected to a small computer like a Raspberry Pi, can then send an email alert to researchers, effectively allowing the plants to “communicate” when they sense something significant, such as the presence of pollutants or explosives.

What do you all think about bachelor parties? 

It makes me go hmmm because of the way it is perceived in the world, and why "celebrate" the last time being single? You can still be friends after being married.

 

I understand in the truth they can have clean bachelor's/Bachelorette party or weekend getaway, but wouldn't it be better to have a party or celebration with all friends involved?

 

I've tried researching in our publications but there isn't anything against this, so I do not impose my conscience on others who choose to have these parties, but before I got married, I specifically pointed out to my friends to not surprise me with a bachelor party, and the reason behind my decision.
