You see some performance cars advertised as 60:40 rear-biased AWD for example. Shouldn't the torque split be 50:50 on average, otherwise the rear wheels will be going faster than the fronts?

So they say that hippopotamuses kill the most humans of any animals in Africa. Knowing that hippos are supposed to be herbivores, but somewhat loose on the concept, have any of them been known to eat a human killed?

The 1973 song Brother Louie was done by two groups, Stories and Hot Chocolate. Who did it originally?

Does anyone know what frequency range the Gaia telescope does its observations in? Visible light, infrared, UV, etc.? If it's visible light then wouldn't that be a problem in observing stars through the galactic dust clouds?

If so, then what exactly is inside the archive? All I see here that's substantial are files with the *.json extension.

I've already signed up for downloading all of my YA history, said it will take 30 days to generate! Anyways, do you think you're going to bother answering any more questions, or just wait now for the history file to get prepared and not add anymore to it? I'm already tuning out of all of the useless political crap, won't bother with that anymore.

Every other Bosonic field have a zero average value, but not the Higgs. Why?

Was it based on a lunar calendar of some kind? Also can the original Easter date be calculated on a solar calendar keeping in mind that the solar calendar has changed from the Julian calendar to the Gregorian calendar about a 1000 years ago?

Various astronomical phenomena' magnetic fields are mapped out by their polarized light emissions. How exactly are the light polarized by the magnetic fields?

So we all know that electromagnetic radiation traverses at the speed of light. That's how we got the definition of the speed of light. The magnetic and electric constants derive to the speed of light with the following relationship:

c = sqrt(1/(ε_0 μ_0 (electric constant magnetic constant)))

But there's other massless particles, besides photons, that also travel at the speed of light, which has nothing to do with electromagnetism, such as the Strong Nuclear force. This force's force carrier particle is the gluon.  Does this force also have a constant which derives to the speed of light?

I was just reminded about something today, that I used to see happen a lot when I was younger, but I no longer see them doing today. Just wondering if you guys can think of similar things in your own lifetimes. I'll just get started with my own example. I used to see TV weathermen draw graphics on weather maps with markers on a glass foreground. They used to do all of the graphics by hand, including drawing little things like high & low pressure cells, cold fronts, temperatures, cloud, sun, wind, etc. This was common as far back as the 1970's, but by the 80's, the weatherboards became computerized, and we no longer saw them drawing anymore. Can you think of other little things like this that you used to see, but don't see anymore, and around when you last saw them doing this?

I seem to get itches on my right outer ear a lot, but not in the ear canal. Strangely, the same problem doesn't occur on the left ear for some reason. I can't wear over-the-ear headphones for too long due to this. Is there a cream or lotion or something that can be used to treat this?

Do the various drugs, like Metformin, reduce your energy levels due to them reducing your glucose levels?

Is the main reason that Quantum fields are incompatible with General Relativity because quantum fields are assumed to occur on flat fields, whereas GR can be curveable? At the same time, is that also why quantum fields are compatible with Special Relativity because SR is also assumed to be on flat fields?

Do any shops have an HID Xenon headlight bulb tester to see if a bulb is still working?

Drinking almost any fizzy drink, with carbon dioxide bubbles seems to tickle and excite your tongue. Are there carbon dioxide receptors in your tongue or something?

Was the Expanse's Rocinante ship named after the Rocinante ship in Rush's Cygnus X-1 song?

Generally in medicine, after a substance, like a drug, with a certain half-life, is it considered an inconsequential amount anymore? Something that will no longer affect your body. Is it like 10%, 5%, 1%, less, more? I know there's a general rule of thumb in statistics that anything below 5% is inconsequential, but that's just a rule of thumb, is there a more proper number within the medical community that they accept?

Somewhat technical question, so please read the details of this question before answering. Now a CPAP machine is supposed to maintain a constant pressure above atmospheric, which never changes up or down for inhalation or exhalation. BiPAP on the other hand maintains two different pressure levels, one for inhalation another for exhalation. Now certain CPAP machines have a pressure relief mechanism which reduces pressure during exhalation, the feature is called: C-Flex in Philips machines; EPR in ResMed machines. If CPAP machines have this two-level pressure system, just like BiPAP machines, then how are they different? Is there a bigger pressure differential for BiPAP machines, and at what level is something consider CPAP with some flexible pressures, vs. a BiPAP?

So why are there so many American Civil War re-enactments and actors around? Why are there very few WW1, WW2, Vietnam, or other war re-enactments? It seems to be mainly in the South these re-enactments are done. Can anyone explain the attachment to this one war over all of the other wars that America has been involved in (which are a lot)?
