Fine it's you anything I say or anyone else points out you will not grasp. Take a loaf of bread , take my till are two different things altogether. We are all born to learn and progress whether that be on a education level or a common sense level. I'm not worried about you it will come we never stop learning. You say that as though it's a bad thing. All humans are judgmental by nature. Don't ever kid yourself on about that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then again, Whites aren't white, but Caucasian! White is a mixture of all colours, so can be classed as a colour. Black, on the other hand, is an absence of all colour. The colour of an object is a measure of which parts of the visible light spectrum are reflected from and absorbed by the surface of that object. White objects don't absorb any visible wavelengths and black objects absorb everything. Usually we get something in between. Interestingly (for me) this is why you should wear white clothing in hot areas. Edited May 18, 2019 by oaksoft Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There likely to be contagious or undead! If there was no light where you encountered them, would they still be white? No. Colour comes from the interaction between the object and the light source. If you change the light source you get a different colour for the object. If you remove the light, there would be no concept of colour. I think it's interesting that every known solid object interacts in some way with the minute sliver of visible light in the vast EM spectrum. There are no known exceptions.

The reality will depend on a complex mixture of the relative heat differential between the human and the environment. and wind strengths. I suspect the optimal shade for clothing will change during the day depending on all of that. Countries with temperatures in excess of 40 degrees will require a different solution to those with temperatures in the low to mid-thirties. The common features of both environments will be loose fitting and light-weighted, flowing garments. If you get that right I strongly suspect any other gains from the colour of the garment will be marginal at best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you a coffee monkey? Oh god I've said the "M" word. I'll have the PC brigade firing up the keyboard for that one.... Actually joking apart, I have had problems with addiction to it. Probably the routine of it more than anything else but overdosing on caffeine specifically and diuretics in general can cause a host of health issues like severe dehydration, sluggishness, bowel problems (constipation or the squirting brown fountain variety), heart palpitations, sleep disruption, brain fog, problems concentrating, constant exhaustion, low mood troughs and occasionally feelings of being a little drunk (that's a weird one after many mugs of tea which can bring about short bursts of hyper activity). I have moved to decaff tea and that has cleared up most of the above. I just have to make sure I drink plenty of water as well. In this instance I don't care that there's no proof of any of the above. It's enough that I can switch these symptoms on and off by swapping between caff and decaff tea. Takes about a week to get the caffeine out of your system. Decaff tea - today's top tip from the Oakster. 😁 Edited May 18, 2019 by oaksoft Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oaksoft Posted May 18, 2019 Report Share Posted May 18, 2019 Just now, Slartibartfast said: You never said "coffee coloured monkey", so it's fine. I've already had about seven coffees today (not as many as normal) and don't get any of those symptoms. That's surprising. Are you perhaps drinking Mellow Birds? Or drinking from a thimble? Coffee generally has a lot less caffeine in it than tea (especially if you brew the tea for a long time) so that's maybe not surprising. I would have expected you to have experienced something. Maybe it's just my metabolism. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oaksoft Posted May 18, 2019 Report Share Posted May 18, 2019 2 hours ago, Slartibartfast said: A cup of coffee tends to have more caffeine than a cup of tea by about 2.5 times. By weight, tea leaves have more caffeine than coffee beans. A lot depends on the brewing method. Generally drink freshly ground coffee or a nice Douwe Egbert's when taking instant. You can't just repeat what I said 😀 Used to drink Douwe. A few years back now though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
