That's not an answer to my question at all. I'm asking about the comments and attitudes that seem to treat mouth breathing as bad and wondering where they come from. I'm (relatively) sure that a book published in 2020 isn't the root cause.

General question for anyone with an opinion. Is it common knowledge in your society/culture/family that "mouth breathing" is a bad thing?

I'm really fascinated by this because some of the comments I've been reading here are very opinionated but I don't know what they are based on.

I'm really intrigued about who told you this or how you (or they) determined this knowledge? In your society while growing up where people aware of how others were breathing and instructed them?

Is this knowledge more like right handedness vs left handedness, scrunch vs fold, sit or squat, not sleeping with fans or more like not drinking white wine with red meat?

Can I ask where and how you developed your knowledge about the relationship between breathing and intelligence? Is this common knowledge where you are from? How often are you aware of how others are breathing? Is this something discussed in your family or friendship groups?

Reading through this article and comment thread makes me feel like I should be using a throwaway account to admit that I've been worried for years about the proportion of time I breath through my mouth due to feeling that I don't get enough air through my nose.

This sentence, "Every participant practiced becoming familiar with oral breathing until the participants could naturally switch their breathing pattern from nasal breathing" made me feel like I must be an alien.

I will say however that there are a fair number of comments in this thread that are not really up to the standard I'd expect from HN. I'm quite intrigued to see "mouth breathers" referred to in such derogatory terms. What kind of social indoctrination has triggered that response?

Yes... I mean, Affirmative

I have to agree with you on that point but I still think that the PM needs a lot more time at that soup kitchen before he starts understanding the problems it's actually his job to fix.

Since we are on a tangent anyway I've just realised that the current British PM just this week appeared to be using the non-standard definition when talking with a "homeless" man at a soup kitchen over Xmas. I think I'm this case the PM was corrected fairly quickly but the assumption that homeless means having fewer homes explains a lot of government policy

The biggest US law firm Baker McKenzie (just googled this) has almost 5000 lawyer. Would they be safe from this policy due to the bureaucratic nightmare involved in adding that many faces to the system??

It would also be very interesting if the law firms that were litigating MSG started putting 'different' faces on their employee websites... a little bit of misinformation could cause lots of issues.

Haha. You're easily shocked. I was replying to an interesting comment talking about how they interact with their child. And I was curious about what they do in a situation that they hadn't included in their comment.

There are a lot of great replies to my question. I'm happy I asked it.

You could carefully choose an egg donor and a sperm donor who don't exhibit your bad traits. And then pay for someone else to raise the child. Dodge nature and nurture

I would expand on your statement by saying that Helion is planning to generate electricity by directly extracting the kinetic energy of the particles created in the fusion reaction. And they need charged particles rather than neutrons.

(I watched the video and really it's as simple as charged particles moving in and creating a magnetic field inside loops of metal which in turn generates a current that can be used. (Just add several dozen years worth of post-doc maths to sort out the details)

What do you do with her when you are out with friends? Restaurants, etc?

The Helion approach seems plausible to me. Can you point me towards some of the sources that give you vibes?

I just get a message complaining that I'm using a web blocker even though I'm not.

Ah that's sad. Back when I was a teenager I discovered the Bova, Benford, Brin, and Bear SF section. That's what I called it anyway.

I have happy memories of reading Moving Mars and I have a prized (to me) hardcover copy of "Songs of Earth and Power". A talent who wrote wonderful books. He'll be missed

I know it doesn't make sense but does anyone know where I can listen to some CUTS format audio? I'm just intensely curious about what it sounds like.

If you mean incels. I'm not a psychologist but I think the incels do want transactional sex but hate the fact they can't get it. Your comment isn't very clear to me

The current fiat/fx cross border payment mechanisms are better than crypto. Faster, cheaper and more secure.

I like your language of decoys and local minima. It's very easy to follow out of date documentation and find yourself wasting time in a cul-de-sac

Run where?

The "what about" game will ruin any debate.

The delivery of justice vs human rights is not a simple matter and anyone trying to discuss it in this type of forum is doing themselves and the subject a disservice.

You haven't made a strong argument here.

Lottery experiences aren't relevant.

Awkward conversations can be useful. Also in this case there's a web page so what is the topic of conversation?

I think you're jumping to conclusions about my opinions with very few data points. I'm not from your country so I'm also not sure what history we'd be looking out without a lot of 'true scotsman' arguments about definitions.

As for Christianity, I hope we can agree that the teachings of Jesus are quite to the left on the political spectrum.

Are they wearing masks?

I look around where I am and wonder why aren't more of us wearing masks?

"maximizing the variety present." is new to me. Is this a common idea?

Were the protests outside concerts also bi-partisan in nature or were they organised by Christian groups? I think the protests are different to the PMRC actions.

Edit: actually ignore me. I don't think we have matching definitions of left and right wing. And I definitely don't have knowledge of whether the US Democrats are left wing by any definition I'd use

It's very unclear what you're saying. Are you saying the Tipper Gore is/was right wing? Are you saying that censoring music isn't something from the right wing of the political spectrum?
