| Question | — |
Stop bumping old imported posts with no-change edits Lately some old posts that were already old when imported from elsewhere have popped to the top of the active questions list. In one case, one of the answers was apparently deleted. Two recent ones show activity on the main question. When examining the edit history, it shows the whole question c... (more) |

The obvious answer to this question is *"Because they think is sells better"*. Unless you expect someone from a marketing department with hard data to answer (very unlikely), this question should be closed as *opinion based*. (more) |

@Lundin: *"why men couldn't use the same bike model as women back then"*. No, it's not "some 19th century macho thing". Women's bikes of that era don't have the bar across the top, forcing a less desirable structural tradeoff. There is much more stress on the frame down by the crank, making the fr... (more) |

@Monica: Hmm. There there must be some kind of vote-bot on the loose, or someone went thru a lot of trouble to go thru imported posts and upvote lots of answers. Considering how dead it is here, it make no sense that I would have 656 rep, or Charlie 3313. There aren't enough active users here to e... (more) |

A: Some users scores are not calculated properly. Users shouldn't get rep ("score", whatever) here from votes received elsewhere. Rep here should reflect contributions here. (more) |

Right, but I couldn't find activity anywhere, whether in the question, the answers, or any of the comments. I have clarified this in the question. (more) |

Question shows activity in list, but no changes found I've seen this a few times, most recently today with this question. The question list says "last activity about 7 hours ago by Charlie Brumbaughâ€". But when I go into the question, I can't find any recent modifications at all, whether in the question, the answers, or any of the comments. I even ch... (more) |

@Charlie: Today another imported question popped up. I looked, but didn't see any recent activity. If old imported posts keep popping up, then we should consider deleting all the old content. (more) |

Let's stop importing questions Today, another imported question popped up. I didn't notice it was imported right away, and ended up wasting time on it. OK, that's on me. It is properly marked as imported. It's my fault for not noticing it among the clutter. However, importing content, especially content that requires attrib... (more) |

A: In the United States, where would I find how a geological feature got its name? I can't prove a negative, but I don't think there is any such nation-wide historical record. Finding the history of various names will take different methods. For some, the history and motivations are well known. For example, a number of peaks in the White Mountains of New Hampshire are named af... (more) |

A: What difference is removing wolves from the list of animals protected by the Endangered Species Act in the US going to make? It can allow more hunting, depending on local regulations where the wolves are. It will also make it easier to kill or otherwise deal with wolves where they interfere with human activity, like raising livestock. Another issue is that impact on endangered species is considered in some permitting p... (more) |

A: How long after a fire will the majority of the dead trees fall over? It is impossible to put a number on this. There are way too many variables that effect when a burned tree might fall over: Did it only get burned enough to cook the cambium layer and kill the tree? In that case, the wood is still structurally sound, for now. Did it get well burned and it's ba... (more) |

A: 2020 - September - Flowing water Waters colliding This is the picture I really wanted to post, but I thought it wouldn't make any sense without the context provided by my other picture.

A: Why would hearing muffs be tested against continuous and not impulse noise? Assuming the ear protector is a linear system, it will attenuate the various frequencies in a pulse the same as it would a steady tone at each frequency. An impulse is by definition short-lived, and contains a wide spectrum of frequencies. Since the attenuation as a function of frequency varies, ... (more) |

@James: I'm only addressing the one statement I quoted in isolation, having nothing to do with which wheels are driven. This is about the basic physics that the total contact area is proportional to load, regardless of how many tires that load is spread across. (more) |

@Peter: "Bug" is such an unscientific term that I'm interpreting it as "anything small and creepy-crawly". I'd even include spiders. Real entomologists refer to a specific subset of insects as "bugs", but I doubt that is what's intended here. (more) |
