  1. Where I live allows anonymous call legally, but it is well-known that there is a way for the receiver to crack this function without too much cost, but the problem remains and is not fixed for many years. Is it better to do it with your apps suggested or with Skype? Which is more anonymous (i.e. harder to trace) in case the receiver is a tech geek and wants to find out my number.
  2. Hi, it's very difficult today. That's why I am raising my questions here.
  3. To put my long story short, I'd like to call someone I don't trust. I do not really want to call him but I have to. I have his cellphone number. I think the best way is to do it through public telephone stand but such thing is getting rare. Which way is more anonymous? 1. By putting a few more number before his number, which is a way to hide the caller's number. 2. By making a call through Skype. 3. Any other method? If I make a call through Skype, will my nickname, email address or even any of my phone number provided to Skype/Microsoft be shown to his side?
  4. I am interested in a budget phone sold for about $100, but my friend strongly advised me not to get it. I do not play any mobile game at all. I do not watch any youtube video at all. I do not even listen to music with my phone. Mostly I will send some text message on whatsapp, taking a few pictures or videos, but browsing the web for information (e.g. using chrome or other preinstalled browsers) are what I will do so often. Sometimes I will also use Google map in order to look for nearby places. Is a cheap budget phone good enough for my purpose? Will it make a huge difference if I get a more expensive phone? (When I don't play games and I only browse websites)
  5. I don't know but I personally believe that our body is naturally born to tackle harsh environment and different challenges so it's not really necessary to put on sunglasses but I always wear a hat or cap, I think they may give some benefits.
  6. There are two issues that I am concerned. Probably paranoid? 1. Wireless charging 2.Magnetic Will it generate more radiation or anything around that could increase health risk? On the other hand, if my hand gets wet and I use the magsafe powerbank, could it lead to any danger?
  7. Hi. Is there any such apps that I can send a file to someone but he can only read the file with the password that I provide to him? It's like zip files encrypted with passwords on PC. I know that I can do it by sharing on Google drive but is there more convenient way? The data of my file is mostly text, no picture.
  8. Can anyone suggest one or a few English nick that should not be only for boy or for girl? In other words, nick normally for boys and girls, i.e. Chris.
  9. Without professional devices, what are all possible ways of testing if gold jewellery is pure and real gold, i.e. 999.9 or 24k? It doesn't matter if it's not 100% accurate but is there any way to make a good estimation?
  10. It's because they did not explain why so I am asking why here....
  11. I always thought that it was good to soak dirty clothes in water for hours before washing but recently I happen to find a lot of advice saying that it is not good to do that. What's the possible problem of soaking clothes in water? Would it weaken the fabric?
  12. For a long time, I'd like to get a smartphone with a large screen but I haven't yet got one because there are some trade-offs, e.g. weight and convenience. If I don't watch videos or play mobile games, I just use my phone to read ebook and information on the web (mainly text and pictures), will it feel a lot better by using a bigger screen? What's your opinion?
  13. I have some used books that are, as said, used, not new, from unknown sources and used extensively by unknown people. Does it need to be sterilized or cleaned and how to if it does?
  14. I know there is something like adhesive tape but it will not leave marks and is designed not to leave marks on paper. Ordinary tape is highly adhesive and could easily damage prints on paper if not removed carefully. What is the name of such thing?
  15. Thanks for your meaningful comments. But the problem is, my family members do not feel me no matter how hard I have tried to explain things to them, I know them well, they will never feel me. I have given up. I had regular sessions with a few counselors who were psychologists, I got some temporary relief, but it did not last long. I talked a lot and I talked too much. I think it's time to do something rather than just talk. Or is there any superfood (that should be natural) that will potentially improve one's emotion?
  16. Now, I decided not to wash my sneakers but only use a damp cloth to wipe its surface when it gets obviously dirty. I hope it is the best balance among all other considerations.
  17. Hi all. Is the answer to my question positive? i.e. A little bit more for the cousins on the mother side?
  18. It's said that we share a little bit more DNA with our mother, compared to our father. Does it also mean that we also share a little bit more DNA with cousins from our mother side, compared to our father side?
  19. Did you mean since the car surfaces are usually roughly finished so light is reflected at a lot of angles so the intensity is largely reduced at any particular angle, and the likelihood of causing retinal damage or eyes is when a lot of light is focused at one angle?
  20. Sorry, what is grazing incidence? And so did you mean even if I believe that the reflected light from the glass cover of the headlight is strong, chances are it's completely safe even if I stared at it directly for a few seconds?
  21. I have never lived or been to anywhere with a large area of snow, did you mean the image of the whole sun can sometimes been seen on the snow surface? What if a particular angle of a car where the reflected light is particularly strong? Which usually happens when the light hits directly on the glass of the headlight and reflects.
  22. We know that direct sunlight is dangerous to eye without any doubt. It's also widely said that reflected sunlight is also damaging, within a fraction of second. But I also find an ophthalmologist, whom I believe that it's verified, suggesting that there is no risk from diffuse, reflected sunlight. According to the link below https://www.aao.org/eye-health/ask-ophthalmologist-q/is-reflected-sun-light-dangerous What's going to be true? Is there any risk if I stare at the reflected sunlight from car for a few seconds?
  23. 6 balls are drawn from a total of 49 balls randomly. Order does not matter, as long as 6 balls are matched, first prize is won, what is the probability of winning the first prize? Another question is horse racing. For certain three matches, which may have 10 to 14 horses in total, different horses may have different conditions and abilities so the winning odds of each horse may not be as simple as 1/10 or 1/14. You choose three horses from each of the three matches so you are choosing 9 horses in total, if all 9 horses in three matches finish for the 1st, 2nd and 3rd place, order isn't counted, i.e. ABC, ACB, BAC, BCA, CAB, CBA don't matter.), then you win the jackpot, what is the probability of winning the jackpot? Since number of horses in a match may vary, conditions of horses in a match may vary, I'd like to know how to work it out, rather than the final answers alone.)

    Hair Loss

    I strongly believe that male pattern hairloss is purely genetic, some businessmen like to connect it with other factors like stress, diet or hair treatment products but that is not true. I have been observing hairline and hair quality of many people for a long time and I find that different people could have really different hair quality that do not seem to be affected by any environmental factor. For example, my uncle who is not blood-related to me has four brothers and he is stressful and unhappy all the time, he is over 60 now but his hairline is still nice and perfect and all his brothers don't have any sign of hair loss. My father has lost all his hair and his brothers are all bald, my hair loss started when I was 25.
  25. I was first impressed by this phrase seen in the status of one of my friends, and the I only get to realize today that it is a name of a book. Do you recommend this book? Where to buy? By the way, where do you guy buy books? Is Amazon Kindle already the best source with the best book reader?
