 Why government closures don't happen in other countries outside the USA?

For many parliamentary democracies without separate executive and legislative branches (think the UK and many British colonies, as well as many European countries), a failure to pass a budget will pretty much 100% of the time mean that a snap election will be held, because it means that the majority of the parliament is now against the current Prime Minister or equivalent. And countries with strong executive branches (whether they are democracies or not) can have the president just keep running shit until the parliament(s) get their shit together and pass a budget. Also, for some countries (such as Germany), it is *illegal* to send home government employees because you can't pass a budget, so for many countries they'll just continue using the old budgets until a new one is passed.

 how the eff do magic erasers work so much better than soap and water?

*’Magic Erasers’* are actually extremely fine grit sanding sponges with a cleaning detergent included. A porcelain toilet bowl that has major staining like rust can be cleaned quite easily with a pumice stone. It’s the same concept with these *’Magic Erasures’*. Both the pumice stone and the erasers are actually removing stains by sanding them off. Note: I can’t be certain about the level of efficacy the detergents used in the erasers have in removing certain stains so I won’t speak to that.

 How does glass shatter when run under super hot water or in a dishwasher?

When things heat up, they expand. This is true for most types of glass†. When you heat something up unevenly, the heat can bend/warp it. Glass no likey bending. The resulting stress can cause the glass to break. † Yes, they make special borosilicate glass with very low coefficient of thermal expansion, but I presume the OP is talking about ordinary glass.

 Why does our eyes move rapidly during R.E.M. and what purpose does that serve?

So, during REM sleep it's generally believed that you are probably dreaming you just don't remember the vast majority of it). The reason your eyes are moving is that they're one of the muscle groups that aren't paralyzed during REM. If you were to measure someone's muscle activity electrically (this can be done with electrical sensors taped to the skin) while they sleep, you'd observe that during non-REM sleep, their muscles retained some tone (i.e. not totally limp) and occasionally moved. During REM sleep, you would observe that their muscles got much limper, their penis (if they had one) got less limp, and they didn't move very much at all, except for their eyes. Activation of this muscle paralysis system at inappropriate times is what causes "sleep paralysis." And if it FAILS to activate during REM sleep, you might think the result would be sleepwalking, but it's called REM sleep behavior disorder, and unlike sleepwalking the person is very unaware of their environment.. They might start trying to run while they are lying down, for example.

 What happens when a man takes birth control medicine?

Nothing much. Birth control pills are at such a low dose that I doubt much would happen. If the man were taking them for an extended period of time, though (like years), I’m sure he’d experience some effects from the estrogen and progesterone. Probably symptoms anywhere from sensitive nipples to mild gynecomastia (man-boobs). Might affect his libido a bit, too. It’s not going to do anything crazy like shrivel up his penis or make him start behaving like a woman or anything. He’d need much higher doses (like hormone-replacement therapy level doses) for that to happen.

 can anyone explain me the butterfly effect?

Most people here have the wrong idea of what the butterfly effect really is. Sure, small actions can have huge consequences, but that's not the point. What it really is about is that tiny changes in the initial conditions of a system can result completely different outcomes. This particularly true with chaotic turbulence and weather. When doing the calculations, just rounding up a single decimal point can sometimes lead to predictions completely different from the more precise calculations. That's why weather is very unpredictable from more than 3 days out. So, no, a butterfly cannot cause a hurricane, but it can potentially result in the hurricane landing in one place instead of the other.

 From a cryptography POV, why were the Navajo code talkers so difficult to decipher?

First; the Navajo language wasn't widely known or cataloged, even within North America, let alone outside of the United States. Second; it wasn't just that the code talkers were speaking Navajo, it's that they were also using Navajo words as replacements for the 26 letter military alphabet. The problem for the Japanese is that the code talkers switched very easily between having direct unciphered conversations in Navajo and ciphered conversations relying on Navajo words, thus there was (seemingly) no rhyme or reason behind the messages from the perspective of the Japanese. Third, and as an extension of the above; many codes were essentially mechanical (i.e. Enigma), meaning that a codebreaker could expect the coded language to follow a rigorous and strictly-defined set of "rules." The code talkers were using a much more organically-derived language for their code, which meant that rules were much harder to follow, and the code talkers were free to break those rules as they see fit because of how human language works.

 Why when we try to remember a word we can usually recall the first letter or first few letters but not the full word?

When you are reading, you are typically only looking at the letter or letters at the start and end of the word, and your brain is filling in the gaps in between. So, human language processing has that tendency to focus on just the start and the end, be it in writing or in sound - but especially in writing. There are some sites you can visit that will demonstrate, that even when they remove or change the middle parts of a word, you can probably still figure out what the sentence means.

 Why do internet browsers fail to prevent "add extension" advert pages from locking up the browser?

There's lots of Javascript and HTML(5) APIs around that allow websites to provide cool content such as web apps and games. Sadly, since the authors of these APIs forget that there are evil developers around, they end up giving the APIs a lot of control over the browser that loads the page. This is also how some shady ads are capable of vibrating your phone, taking you to the app store, etc. Improper sandboxing and APIs with too much power. You can reduce this by installing an Adblocker and NoScript, which makes pages incapable of doing much without your consent.

 Why do some noises produce a physical reaction in people?

Well, your body reacts to sounds by using your brain to resurface earlier instincts. For example, sudden high pitched sounds (such as writing on a chalkboard) will make you feel stressful and "wriggly" because your primal brain tells you to run from the nonexistent predator or natural danger that is suddenly screeching near or at you. Interesting fact- us humans are so horrible, that clanging, metallic sounds resemble war, and can cause legitimate, unexplainable (by them) fear in some people.

 why do some games only work on windows?

Games are rarely made completely from scratch, instead they're built using existing tools and frameworks which are known as APIs, or application programming interfaces. An API is a list of documented functions and the parameters they take that perform a known action when called, an example of an API to draw a circle might be: drawCircle(int x, int y, int radius); You don't need to know how it works internally, only that so long as you use the API as documented it should give you the outcome you expect. Those APIs themselves may be built on other APIs, which may be built on other APIs. In many cases you'll eventually hit upon an API which is part of the operating system itself. In gaming, the big one is called DirectX and is the Microsoft API for, amongst other things, game programming. It's an abstraction layer built around other APIs such as graphics card drivers that presents a unified interface for development on Windows machines (and the XBox consoles). If you're writing an application and part of the API hierarchy depends on APIs that are only available on Windows, then the application can only run on Windows. Now there are two ways around this: 1. Certain APIs are designed to be completely independent of the operating system they run on. Often times these APIs have a general way of doing things, but can be re-compiled using special flags that will utilise specific operating-system specific APIs for the sake of performance, but the key thing is that their actual API (the functions exposed) don't change between hardware or operating system type. 2. The reverse of 1, people take platform specific APIs and emulate them by creating a substitute version on a platform that was not intended to run them. This is how the popular Linux application 'Wine' works.

 What is inflation/interest rates and how do they affect an economy in the long run?

These are related to how a monetary based system works. One way to look at it is that interest rates are a "tool" and the inflation is one of the "outcomes" the tool is supposed to manage. It gets a little bit difficult to picture but a core idea is the idea of purchasing power. For example, say you have $100 and the current (nominal) interest rate (controlled by the Central Bank more or less) is 10%. This means saving this $100 results in $110 after 1 year. Meanwhile inflation is 5%. This means something that costs $100 today costs $105 in 1 year. In this particular scenario, saving for 1 year increases your purchasing power since $110 is greater than $105. It can be said that the real interest rate (ie accounting for inflation) is positive - this generally benefits saving over consumption. However too high real interest rates, causes too many people to save and this has the detrimental effect that overall consumption decreases (meaning the economy shrinks) - this is called the 'paradox of savings'. The bad thing is that it is possible to get into a vicious cycle where initially sellers reduce their prices (to increase sales) and this causes deflation. If this cycle continues, sellers shut down factories and more people are unemployed and this causes further shrinking of demand - a vicious downward cycle. This is why deflation is almost universally considered a very bad thing. Central banks/governments will do everything to avoid this. On the other hand if real interest rates are low or negative, it induces more current consumption (holding cash is bad) which stimulates the economy but at the cost of people who are earning fixed incomes. (eg people with not much savings or who are retired living off their savings). Most of the time, governments will target a low inflation rate (say around 2%) which gives them some room to react if something happens. They do so by controlling the nominal interest rate to boost the economy (lower rates) or slow down the economy (increase rates) In extraordinary situations (like COVID-19) the interest rate tools are not very effective and the government will go to more extraordinary measures (directly pumping money into economy) to keep things from getting too bad (it will be bad - but hopefully not as bad). Bottom line though, it is important to know that these are monetary actions and are indirectly used to control the "real" economy - ie actual goods and services, trade, employment. The real economy usually grows - more people join the workforce (due to population increases), technological and productivity improvements, new inventions etc etc. This is why a healthy economy usually needs a bit of inflation and monetary base growth to keep up.

 Where does a thought go when it's forgotten?

This is actually not too difficult to explain. When you have a thought, the signals are passed via neurotransmitter molecules that travel across the small spaces between the nerve cells. A simple thought can involve hundreds of thousands of neurons. When one of these thoughts are “forgotten”, the neurons... the neurons and the synapses... uh, they uh... shit, I forgot where I was going with this.

 How does Google know that you get the letters correct in a captcha! if they were designed so that computers can't read them?

There are two(ish) main types of captcha: 1) Computer generated word images. In this case, it's obvious why the computer can know if you've typed it in correctly. 2) Not computer generated captcha. This is the kind that comes with two word-images. Only one of these words is actually the human test. The other one is there so that the computer learns what most people write it out as. Once enough people have written an identical answer for that word, it can become one of the testing word-images. So during a particular captcha entry, you are simultaneously proving you're a human, and teaching the computer what a particular word-image says. Interestingly, some captchas incorporate words from scanned books that the google intelligence can't decipher. These are the non-test words. When answering these captchas, you are both helping create a new test word-image, and helping digitize books!

 Do base values change the patterns in numbers?

Yes. Changing the base can change the patterns you find in numbers. Consider 1/12 in the following bases. 2: 0.0001010101... 3: 0.002020202... 4: 0.01111.... 5: 0.020202... 6: 0.3 7: 0.040404... 8: 05252525... 12: 0.1 > If you were to apply a different base value to calculate Pi, would it still show no signs of patterns or repetitions? Pi is allowed to have patterns and repetitions. It just can't be a pattern or repetition that repeats indefinitely. You can use irrational numbers as bases, in which case pi would be equal to 10. In which case it would terminate, rather than repeat. > Would the Fibonacci sequence still produce the golden ratio? Yes, certainly. Remember that different bases don't change the values of numbers, just the symbols we use to represent them. And you can don't even need numbers at all to represent the Fibonacci sequence. You can imagine it as the length of a rope, for example. You can then replicate the sequence without ever knowing "how long" the rope is.

 Does producing light or heat deplete the # of electrons in a circuit?

There are always the same number of electrons in your wire. The energy comes from the electric field which causes the sea of electrons to drift in a specific direction, but even when they're drifting you'd find that any section of the wire still has the same amount of electrons as it should. If electrons were being created or destroyed then the wire would become staticly charged and even after turning off power it would zap you like a door knob in the winter.

 What do dissolvable plastic pouches (for example: tide pods, cascade pods) break down into? Do heat and humidity affect them significantly?

Tide pods are encased in PVA (poly-vinyl alcohol). This is just a bunch of ethanol bonded into long chains. Because of this, the PVA chains will dissolve on contact with water, releasing the individual chains. (Imagine ball of rubber bands separated into individual rubber bands). When exposed to high temperatures ( > 200 degrees celcius) and humidity, PVA will degrade into ethanol. PVA is also biodegradable by a few microorganisms, making it semi-biodegradable. I say semi, because most of the microbes are bacteria from the genus Pseudomonas, which are a niche species and not widely distributed.

 why countries with weak currency don't remove multiple zeroes off their money to make it worth more?

It happens, but it doesn't make the money worth more. It is only a cosmetic change that turns larger numbers into smaller ones, but it does not change anything about the underlying value. Turkey did just that in 2005. They replaced all their banknotes with new ones that had 6 zeros less on them. 1,000,000 old Lira would be worth 1 New Lira. Prices in shops and wages and bank accounts and debts would have 6 zero lobbed of them to go along with the new money. It didn't mean that anyone in turkey suddenly was any poorer or richer than before. Nothing changes on a practical level. The new currency just looked less ridiculous and was easier to handle. The main benefit that the government had been after to make a statement. the currency had undergone some very big inflation which is why they ended up with such large numbers, and the move was supposed to signal that this was now over and they were in normal times now. It was supposed to boost confidence in the currency that further inflation would be limited. This also shows why more countries aren't doing it. For example the Japanese Yen started out being worth exactly the same as the US dollar when it was crated (they were both copies of the Spanish dollar, the pieces of eight from pirate lore.) Since those days both Japan and the US have undergone some inflation. Japan thanks in part to losing WWII has undergone a lot more though. 1 US dollar today is worth more than 100 Yen and prices expressed in Yen all seem a lot larger than ones expressed in Dollars pound or Euro. Japan could lop of two zeroes of their currency to get it more in line with other world currency, but frankly they don't need to. The two extra decimal places are still manageable and Japan doesn't have to prove anything to anyone about the stabilize of their currency. Anyone looking at the Yen today will see the scars of past inflation on it, but also know that it is in the past. With Turkey observer had no such confidence and thus the government had to artificially boost it. Other than the practical aspects of keeping price tags short revaluating your currency like that is something you do when you need to project strength that people don't think you have. It might be seen as a sign of weakness itself. There is also the fact that switching out all your banknotes and coins for new ones like this will be an expensive undertaking and one not made unless there is some very good reason. Prosperous countries only undertake such projects when there is a clear benefit like all the Euro countries switching to a common currency or to a lesser degree when the British a few decades further back decided to go decimal with their coins.

 is there a way to conceptually describe a 4th dimension in terms of our 3 dimensional world?

The way that made it sort of click to me is like this: Imagine that you, a 3D person, get transported into a 2D world. You can still perceive depth, but nobody around you can. They only have up and down, and forward and back, but no Z axis. Now imagine someone stuck you in a 2d jail and you didn't particularly feel like staying in there. Functionally this would be kind of like someone sticking you in a square of tape on the floor and expecting it to contain you. In other words, you'd just step over (or around, depending on your orientation) the silly line and go about your business. Now to a 4D person in our 3D world, it'd be much the same. They'd look at our prisons and go "Why don't the prisoners just go red or green and get out of jail?" and to them, red and green would be an axis of their spatial dimensions just like up and down are for us.

Another point that I didn't see brought up, is that saying that something is artificial doesn't mean that it's something entirely novel and unique. Vanilla has a unique smell that's attributed to the compound vanillin. After determining that, we can make fake vanilla extract by creating pure vanillin. It is an artificial flavor, but it doesn't differ from the vanillin in vanilla beans.

 What makes some plants edible, and others not?

The hard cell wall in plants are made of cellulose and out stomach cant break it down but some animals can because of their stomach design. The metod used to break down cellulose is to let bacteria do the work To quote Wikipedia [Ruminant] ( URL_0 ) like cattle: > Ruminants are mammals that are able to acquire nutrients from plant-based food by fermenting it in a specialized stomach prior to digestion, principally through microbial actions Other animals like hoses and rabbit have only one stomach but can ferment cellulose. If you look at animals that can eat cellulose and compare to humans or meat eating animals you notice that their stomachs are large. Compare the stomach on a cow to out. They also spend a lot of rime eating food compared to humans because you need a lot of chewed what they eat and ruminate ie cew the fermented cellulose again. Compare that to a lion that during a few hour can eat enough meat to survive a week without problem. So we humane have developed a stomach for cooked food. to quote Wikipedia again > Preparing food with heat or fire is an activity unique to humans. It may have started around 2 million years ago, though archaeological evidence for it reaches no more than 1 million years ago. Cooking is a way to break down food a bit like the fermentation in cow so we have transfererad som of the work of geting useful energy from the food to a place outside our body. So we can sped a short time eating every day and can survive a diet of vegetable and animal produkt wish a small digestive tract. You can compare the size of the stomach and the time needed to eat between humans and primates that eat uncooked food.

 That scene in Iron Man 2 when Tony Stark 'creates a new element'. Is something like that possible, and how?

Yes and not. See an element is determine by the number of proton in the nucleus and you can't have fraction of a proton. So if you have 1 proton you are hyrodgen, if you have 2 you are helium, etc, etc. We know all elements between 1 and 118 protons, from Hyrogen to Oganesson which was first synthesized in 2002 in Russia. So yes in theory we can synthesized new element, even if it would be doubfull that a genius in a homelab would be able to do that. & #x200B; Why I say no, is that in Iron Man 2 he made a stable new element and that is basically impossible. The reason is that any element that have more than 84 protons is unstable no matter what, it will decay and the more proton it have (past 84 protons) generally speaking it will be more unstable. So for exemple radon have isotopes that have an half life of between a couple of hours to almost 4 days and radon have 86 protons. Oganesson which have 118 protons have isotopes with half life of 0.69 and 181 millisecond. Any new element would probably be close to that decay rate or even faster. So nobody gonna discover a new adamantium super strong material that we can use to build stuff. These new elements are mostly for scientific research and not really usefull for industrial technology.

 When you open a tap, why does the flow of water near the top seem more orderly, while that near the bottom is more chaotic?

Capillarity. A blob of water tends to become a spherical drop because its surface acts like a rubber film trying to squeeze it together. The water out of the faucet is practically in free fall so the tiny capillarity forces can break it up into individual drops (minimizing its overall surface energy). You can watch videos on YT about how water behaves in the ISS without gravity. Back on earth you can see it best when the flow is just a tad over that of a dripping faucet: the small water column will soon break up into separate drops.

 When the government saves money by cutting public sector funding where does this money go instead?

What you're asking is the allocation of public resources at the disposal of government either by properietory of geographical jurisdiction or fiscal policy(statehood and taxes). In a democratic framework, government proposes a "budget" which is a kind of treaty between public and the state. The government allocates these resources through budgets, plan/non-plan investments through long 4/5/6 year plans depending on the Constitutional frame of countries. There is a consolidated fund which stores the excess of the government, the money they save. This money could go to many number of things, primilarily to pay salaries to judiciary, legislature and the executive. Where does it go to? Go ask the government. (Check the budget i mean, especially the military budget)

 How come bars of soap feel slippery on the skin initially, but soon afterward leave your skin feeling coarse/rough?

Soap itself is slippery. But it also dissolves fat. Your skin secretes fat for protection which does also make it soft and smooth. The soap can dissolve this fat and get it to rinse away which leaves your skin bare. This makes it feel rough and dry until the fat layer reforms. A major difference between body soap and cleaning agents is how well they dissolve fat. You want body soap to just clean off dirt and bacteria but leave most of the fat alone.

 Why is prostitution illegal? (Not including child prostitution)

In many places, it isn't. It's really mostly related to notions of corrupting public morals. For instance, in places where it *isn't* illegal, there will often be a number of compromises made politically in order to successfully decriminalise it. It is often still restricted from occurring within a certain proximity to a school or daycare. Or it may be legal through advertising but you can't solicit on the street. So in those places, the attitude is basically that you can do it, but you can only market to people who are actively looking for it, and you can't go flaunting it around impressionable young people. It's not seen as harmful enough to punish people for it, but it is seen as undesirable and not something societies want to actively encourage. There's also an interplay with marriage, which until quite recently was commonly viewed as the core institution for social stability in most places. Factoring in that most people married young, by definition, adult prostitution clients were almost always married. So prostitution was seen as an enemy of marriage and therefore social stability and the state. It was also seen by many as something that could erode men's attitude of chivalry to women, and create further social ills. We think of older eras as a terrible time where women were owned and lacked protections, and of course that was the reality for many individual women. But a lot of these social systems were more delicately balanced than we give them credit for. Most people in fact are not evil, and do not want to see their mothers, wives, sisters and daughters harmed (although their view of what is and isn't "harm" may not be ours). So hand-in-hand with social oppression went social protections to counter them. It really didn't matter too much (to people of that time) if your beloved sister couldn't own property or vote or realistically divorce, **if** society successfully policed its men to behave well towards her and protect her, so she would never need property or a vote or divorce. And prostitution was seen as something that undermined men's instincts to protect and take responsibility for women.

 Why do some sign language speakers use exaggerated facial expressions when signing?

A lot of signs can look quite similar to each other. Doing facial expressions is a way of helping differentiating between the different signs. It is also common to mouth the words as well so that people might get some hints by reading the lips. People also use facial expressions to express emotions similar to how people might use their hands to gesture when speaking.

 Can we actually save our planet or are we too late to stop certain extinction of our species?

From what empirical data I can gather there actually is no threat of extinction from climate change other than adapting to new living conditions. Humans lived through one of the ice ages and adapted to the cold conditions to procreate and populate the earth. The changes we have wrought on the earth will inevitably lead to different conditions in weather and pollution but none are insurmountable with todays technology.

 What is the rainbow discoloration that happens when steel is subjected to extreme heat?

Heating steel creates an oxide layer, and microscopic variations in thickness of that layer reflect different wavelengths (colours) of light, leading to the rainbow of colours. You can see a similar effect in oil on a floor, or the surface of a soap bubble. If you want to know more, plus other weird and wonderful features of the quantum world, I highly recommend [Q.E.D. The Strange Theory of Light and Matter by Richard Feynman]( URL_0 ).

 Why is it when you see a propeller (like from a turbine airplane) starting up it seems to switch directions as it spins faster and faster ?

You typically don't see this with your eyes, but do with a video camera. It has to do with aliasing, which means you aren't taking pictures fast enough. If your camera is doing 30 fps, it takes one picture every 1/30th of a second. If the propeller is spinning at 30 rotations per second, it will appear to be still, because it will be in the same spot every time the camera takes a picture. If it's going a little bit less than 30 rotations per second, it will actually appear to move backwards because it rotated *almost* all the way around by the time the next picture is taken.

 please, What’s the difference between crystal and glass?

There are two different ordinary uses of the word crystal. The first ordinary use of the word crystal is a orderly arrangement of molecules of a single molecule. Two common crystals found in almost every bodies homes are salt crystals or sugar crystals. The other ordinary use of the word crystal is a special type of glass. This type of glass has a different ‘recipe’ than window glass or glass used for drinking or bottles. The crystal glass has a higher refractive index, so it is better at refracting sunlight into its constituent colors. Glass made with the ‘crystal recipe’ (often made with lead compounds) is used for prisms, chandeliers, anything where you want the glass to be ‘sparkly’ or colorful. This recipe is also used for ornamental drinking ware and special bottles used to contain, for example, brandy. Crystal glassware does nothing to improve the flavor though it does enhance the visual presentation.

 Why dont we have 1000v1000 multiplayer games?

As I understand it, Essentially it's a problem of co-ordinating and distributing information. If you have 2000 players all in the same space, everyone needs to know where all the other players are, what they're doing, how they're moving, what projectiles they've set in flight, what THEY are doing, where they are heading, etc. This can amount to a sizable volume of data. Distributing and co-ordinating it isn't THAT difficult, but in order to prevent noticeable lag on they players end, it all has to happen unbelievably quickly. That's the tricky part. Not making it work, but making it work fast enough to be invisible and flawless. Remember, it's not just the speed of the pc/ console / servers that's a limiting factor, Telecommunications networks and geographical location also play a significant role.

 Is the technology behind Zoom actually super groundbreaking or advanced compared to older videoconferencing options like GoToMeeting/Skype/Hangouts, etc?

No. None of these are particularly groundbreaking, nor are they trying to be, they just offer a service thats basically the same type of video conferencing that has been around for 40 years, albeit of course tailored to a more modern audience. These companies don't really compete on features of their product, they compete on sales. There are some groundbreaking video conferencing systems out there, but these are generally only used in high-end business and education and come with a significant price tag.

 - What are blood groups? Why do they differ from person to person? Why can't a person of one blood group receive blood from a person of a different blood group?

In some blood types, it's like the blood cells are wearing little hats. If you get some blood cells wearing hats and you don't normally have them, your body is like, whoah, these shouldn't be here, and it attacks them. Type A only likes type A hats, and type B only likes type B hats. Type AB is cool with either kind of hat. Type O doesn't have any hats itself, so the bodies of Type O people will attack A or B or AB blood cells. People with A, B, or AB blood types are ok receiving the hatless Type O blood cells. The positive and negative refers to Rh blood types. Rh blood types are like the cells have mustaches. Rh+ types, they've all got mustaches but they're ok accepting blood cells with no mustaches. Rh- types, they don't want any of those stupid mustaches. Maybe they could tolerate it a bit, if it's an emergency, but really no mustaches would be better. So an AB+ person is cool with blood that has any kind of hat and mustaches or no mustaches, so they can take any kind of blood, while an O- person can only accept blood with no hats and no mustaches. There are other accessories that affect blood type, representing more detailed blood types. For surgery and stuff usually ABO type and Rh type are all that matters, but for some transplants you really need the closest type possible, like blood with the exact same hat and facial hair and jewelry and clothes and haircut. That's why people who need kidneys or bone marrow will sometimes ask lots and lots of people to check if they're a potential match, and maybe never find anyone.

 Why are details of deadly chemical compound easily available on the internet?

While the method is easily available the skills, raw material and equipment are not readily available. E.g. hydrogen suphide needs pure hydrogen (so you need a source of that) and molten elemental sulphur at 450 degrees C or collection and concentration of a low level gas products from bacteria. Neither of which are easy to do.

 How does card counting in Blackjack work and why is it commonly considered cheating or at the very least frowned upon?

You keep track of "high" or face cards, by counting +1 whenever you see one, and that tells you the odds of the next card being a face card. It's not illegal, but casinos will kick you out, because any establishment has the right to refuse to serve anyone for any reason, and they can refuse to serve you because you cut into their profits.

 - why is it so hard to swallow a pill or tablet but so easy to swallow large chunks of food?

Most food you eat is already moist to some degree. Think of eating lasagna. It is much more moist than a given pill. That moisture provides lubrication. We DO eat dry foods yes, but we tend to chew them up into sizes smaller than a pill. In addition; when we eat a dry food it tends to spend more time in our mouth while being chewed and the dry food absorbs some moisture (saliva.) I pill is generally NOT chewed and spend little time in the mouth and has less chance to absorb lubricating saliva.

 Why do we just "click" with some people?

Because our personalities relate in some manner. I figured this out by looking into it and wondering my friends were my friends. It really just came down to being weird, funny, spontaneous, talkitive and stuff like that. My brain just likes these people and gets a 'high' off of them. Sorta like a drug

 Why do aerosol cans ask you to "shake well"?

You are mixing up the ingredients within the product so they are in the proper amounts when expelled, as opposed to separating in the can and you getting a lot more of one thing than the other. That the propellant is mixed in is fine, it is calculated into the normal usage of the product.

 Why does putting a heavy book on a a crumbled piece of paper make it flatten out and why does it take 10-15 mins for it to happen; not instantaneously?

Educated guess; the fibers were massively mis-aligned and set out of order when the paper was crumpled, and setting a weight on top of it makes new small “folds” in that fibrous structure that aligns the whole crumpled mess to all fit in that small space, the space between the two surfaces you’re pressing together. I imagine it might actually take some time for the fibers to move into place, not for them to resettle/harden once they are in place.

 Why does it feel like there's a "blue filter" when looking, after being out in the bright sun for a while?

The sky is at fault. The light of the sun is scattered through the air; this makes the sky itself blue, but drains the blue from the direct sunlight itself, making it more yellow/red. After a while, your eyes get exhausted by the red/yellow color, such that when you come inside, everything is blue-shifted. Its the same effect as staring at an image and then seeing the negative of that image when you look away.
