Question: What do US military veterans think of Donald Trump?
Answer from Ken Forst
I am a Vietnam-era vet, I served in Korea. My experience in that time
taught me that the military is not the monolithic conservative
Christian voter-block some would prefer to believe. It is simply a
reflection of the American public at large; there were lifers and
draftees, sane and sincere patriots, there were truly criminal types,
straights, gays, atheists, bible-bangers, alcoholics, teetotaler

Question: What do wealthy people eat to keep looking so fit and healthy?
Answer from Jane CP Wei
I worked for a summer as an intern at a Manhattan corporation — most
people were making a good amount $175k+ for directors and VP's
probably are well in the quarter million dollar range. During this
time, I watched and observed the dietary behaviors of those who were
"wealthy" and fit versus those who were in the outer edges where
people did not have as much money.
What were my anecdotal findings

Question: What are some ways our cities and highways will change when
humans no longer drive?
From a recent session
Answer from Sam Shank
The short answer is that I think more will change than anyone is
anticipating. There's a ton of opportunity when you free up the 25% of
the city that is used for cars. A few things I'm expecting to see
happen:
Turning on-street parking into bike and pedestrian lanes and outdoor
restaurant seating.
Reducing the cost of housing by around 20% as garages no longer need
to be built.
The death of the

Question: Who would win in a fight between The Flash and Thor (the
Marvel comics character)?
Answer from Caleb Hu
People are just taking into account that Thor is strong and durable,
while Flash is only fast.
There are no ways Thor can win. If Thor summons a portal, Flash will
avoid it. Lightning, Flash will avoid it. Any other magic, Flash will
avoid it. Why?
Flash is also fast. Very fast.
According to the picture, he's calculated to run at 13 trillion times
the speed of light.
How can Flash win? Let me

Question: What happened during the Skylab 4 Mutiny?
Answer from Natalie Frank
Skylab 4's New Year's Mutiny in Orbit. It sounds like a bad space
opera plot but it actually happened back in 1974. The crew of the
third and last crew to inhabit Skylab, Gerry Carr, Bill Pogue, and Ed
Gibson rang in the New Year with a mutiny against NASA Mission
Control. Skylab 4 was by far the longest of the three missions,
running 84 days compared to 60 days and 28 days for Skylab 3 and

Question: What are some dressing hacks everyone should know?
Answer from Prashanth Chengi
Many people commute to work on a bicycle, and many even do it in
formal trousers. On a windy day, the trousers can get pushed onto the
chain rings, even if there's a chain guard. This can result in grease
stained or even torn trousers. Two pieces of the velcro tape (one
piece of both kinds) is all you need; just wrap it around tightly,
just above the ankle, and your trousers will never get messe

Question: What are some trippy thought experiments? [
www-quora-com/What-are-some-trip... ]
Answer from Craig DiPaolo
On a clear night, go lie in your back yard and gaze up the stars.
At first, you will have the familiar sensation of comfortably resting
on a stable earth looking up at the stars twinkling in the sky.
But keep this in mind. We're not really "down here" and the stars
aren't really "up there." That's all an illusion.
We're actually stuck to the side of a sphere that's hurling through space at an

Question: What is quantum mechanics?
Answer from Richard Muller
Quantum mechanics, at its heart, is simply the recognition that there
are no particles and no waves, only something that has properties of
both. Sometimes this is called a wave function, but that term
typically applies to the wave aspects, not to the particle ones. For
this post, let me refer to them as wavicles (combination of wave and
particle).
When we see a classical wave, what we are seeing

Question: What are the most tourist-friendly countries in Europe? Why?
Answer from Josh Harris
There's only one answer: IRELAND.
Let me qualify this: I'm half Italian - half American and have lived
in both countries.
I also lived in Germany and Portugal, as well as traveled to most of
Europe. Been to Spain plenty, and speak Spanish well. Holidays were
often spent in Croatia, in the 90's. Also been to France a lot, and
speak fluent French.
And I now live in the UK, in London.

Question: Why do some planes still use propeller engines, not jets?
Answer from Scott Welch
In addition to the excellent points made by Dennis Ferguson [
www-quora-com/profile/Dennis-Fer... ], it's worth noting that in the
case of the C130 (and other planes like the Twin Otter) a big
advantage of turboprops is that the engines are much less fragile.
This is very important when you are operating from improvised runways
and gravel strips.
It is possible to operate jets from gravel strips,
