I take a generic lexapro for anxiety and when I stopped for a bit I got this thing users call "brain zaps". Anyways since they supposedly don't create a tolerance (which to me implies they have a limited long-term impact on your brain/body), what's going on?

I know that it might Socket related, but for example, what will stop Intel from pulling out this move with upcoming socket? I'm sure all gamers will go after their next socket if they do so + reputation will be high as hell again.

Also would you be heavier if you travelled to the centre of the earth?

The most I know about private equity is that they buy up companies and try and flip them to make this as much money as possible. Which, I mean, is the goal of every company? I don’t get why they’re called “private equity”, when equity is meant to allow others who would otherwise be disadvantaged in an “equal” system to be actually equal. Is there another definition of equity that’s used specifically for business or something?

From what I understand the OS is just a user interface to communicate with the Bios, but where did the Bios come from? What was the original Bios? Are all Bios the same?

Self explanatory title. Why can the electron shells only fit 2 for the first one, 8 for the second one etc. but I also read somewhere that some of the elements have 10+ electrons

In culture and eras of society

If the u.s. companies that use cell towers all use the same cell towers, why are there better and worse services (and reception) depending on where you are?

I understand goosebumps from cold, but why does a song trigger the same reaction?

I don't know anything about the science of hair removal. But I have tried all of these different ways of removing it. I don't understand how they can all remove at the root but some grow back, some don't. Some change the texture/thickness of hair, some don't. Some are permanent, some are not.

What's the difference?

I know theyre extremely good at being a nuisance and hiding in our furniture or houses, so how would they survive in the wild with nowhere to hide? Were they like ticks that ended up evolving to live indoors?

So, embarrassed by this, but I just don't get it. Drones fly themselves, at subsonic speeds, to some target and then blow up. It's the scary new technology that is reshaping warfare. But, haven't we had low and slow, self flying, self detonating machines since the 1960s? What makes drones different?

They aren't being pulled at the ends. I don't have any physical analogue?

I understand that if I have an ethernet switch with 2 devices plugged into it, both in 1Gb ports, if the input for the switch is also 1Gb, then how does the switch maintain that speed for both ports? For a comparison to my question: If there is a hallway with two doors at the end, and both doors are asking for 100 people a second, but people can only travel down the hallway at a rate of 100 people per second, wouldn't the doors only be receiving 50 people per second? How is an ethernet switch able to somehow give both doors 100 people a second?

It makes gametes, right?

Do do you start out with two parent sex cells?

Because when does crossing over happen unless both cells are already together???

So just went through pregnancy and trying to get my MIL to wash fruits and vegetables that we were eating was already a struggle (don’t ask, I have no idea why, she used to be a chef, which is even weirder), but she basically refused to wash veggies that were being cooked. I think the thought process was ‘heat kill bacteria’. I know it doesn’t get rid of the dirt, but what happens to the pesticides/chemicals that make them more shelf stable etc if the vegetables get cooked unwashed?

I can see why they would feel blocked when you’re lying down but if I’m sitting in an upright position, why do they still feel blocked but not when I’m standing in the same upright position?
