Americans: Stereotypes, Not So Obese, Poor Drivers, Rude & Greedy
I haven't done a whole lot of traveling but it's really obvious there is an "Americanization" when it comes to food. It feels like it kinda takes away from some of the quality, but it's all about finding the good sources. That's a lot of the fun in it. If there was anyone thing that I would...- AverageJoe

Medical How bad is marijuana for your health?
You mean...like...standard old research? There are plenty of papers out there that exemplify this. http://www.physorg.com/news183466246.html Ok, after writing this it kinda sounds like I'm ranting. I'm not. I'm just pissed at people who groupthink. It's lazy and pathetic. First off there is...- AverageJoe

Undergrad Interesting interferometer experiment
I'm not even an engineer and I can tell you that this thing is bunk. First off, the fringe shift changes based on time of day (his words). There are no opposite side supports to any piece of the apparatus. Aluminum is a pretty flexible material and I'm sure those box tubes are moving. It's not...- AverageJoe

Graduate Are Originless Coordinates Possible for Spherical Surfaces and Planes?
Maybe it's more of an Omni-Origin coordinate system. Every element is it's own origin, and their dimensions are ratios of their sister elements.- AverageJoe

Medical How bad is marijuana for your health?
I know people with asthma have the risk of dieing, I think medical problems with lung issues are the primary things, but then you could just snack on some cookies or whatever. There is also the issue of a preexisting issue of funky brain chemistry which may lead you to suicide, this however is...- AverageJoe

The Obesity Epidemic: What Can Be Done to Stop It?
Just grazing (lol) over the posts in this thread I haven't seen much about the addictiveness of fast food. Time and time again from all the lower income people I've met, they all eat fast food and don't know why. It's a combination of convenience and natural urge which I've found to be the...- AverageJoe

Graduate Are Originless Coordinates Possible for Spherical Surfaces and Planes?
This is something that has always been in my mind, yet everywhere I look I can't find an answer. Is there any type of coordinate system that has no origin? As in, everything is found by relation to other elements within the model? :confused:- AverageJoe

Schools Does the Prestige of Your Engineering College Really Matter for Your Career?
Massachusetts. I just took a tour at Wentworth and they seem to be a fair undergrad place, but from what I saw (admittedly not much, nor had access to any professors there) the mechanical engineering side of their electromechanical degree was a bit underwhelming. Just got to keep looking I guess.- AverageJoe

Power consumption: Residential vs. Commercial
Just a hypothetical question here. It's just a thought that popped into my head that I thought was an interesting topic. Seeing as many companies now have data centers and server farms, what would to say consumes more power overall? All of the technologically superior countries' companies'...- AverageJoe

High School Is the Earth Expanding and What Does It Mean for Continents?
Yes, the Earth is expanding, but unfortunately the universe is expanding twice as fast (relatively) so nothing appears out of place, yet the continents still move- AverageJoe
