This is a common misconception. Just because there are a lot of lightsources does not mean the sky would need to be bright, because each of these lightsources could be smaller and smaller due to distance. If you have thousands stars which are each 1/millionth of a suns brightness, or a billion stars at 1/trillionth of a suns brightness leads to the same total brightness.

Additionally, the further away, the more red-shifted the light that reaches us will generally be. So for very far light sources, light might reach us, but not in the visible spectrum.

Assuming two people came to a place I work and said that the building I was in didnt have a business/occupancy license, what are the repercussions for continuing to be in that building working and is there any way for the business to have set up a temporary form of licensure for those things?

So I just read that there is an area at the bottom of the Black Sea that is incapable of supporting life and that it is possible to find near perfect ship wrecks that haven't changed since the day they sunk... okay now here is the question. If there were bodies on or in said wrecks would they have not decomposed and only say become bloated?

"bloated" is also decay, which involves microorganisms.

If really nothing could live there, the bodies would probably mummify in some way. But not dry mummy, but wet mummy. Whatever that looks like.

I find it very unlikely that an area where nothing could live exists. Life tends to find a way to exist in the most adverse of conditions.

Peat mummies work the same way, no oxygen = no decomposition.

Afaik there is just no oxygen down there cause there is some sort of barrier between the top and the bottom water due to different amounts of salt. There are still loads of other stuff like methane.
There is at least one kind of bacteria or microlife that lives off of methane and doesn't need oxygen. So there is something living there

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methanotroph

But I guess life is pretty slow down there so stuff that sinks should be preserved rather well. Ships and other stuff made from metal should be good as new without any kind of oxidation. Humans probably a bit less so

Not sure about the Black Sea, but the bay outside Stockholm has an area like that. The Vasa capsized there as it was setting off on its maiden voyage. It was recovered 300+ years later and looks absolutely spectacular. The museum dedicated to it in Stockholm is amazing.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vasa_(ship)

They explained the conditions are that between the water being brackish (already poor oxygenation) and stagnant, there's no renewal of oxygen at all, so indeed, everything that would normally eat wood, cannot survive in those conditions.It wasn't very deep, but deep enough to filter out most light, meaning that excludes most anaerobic life as well. It's not literally lifeless, as there are always *some* things that can live there. But those things don't eat wood. Then, to top things off, Stockholm had a boom during the industrial revolution, and the industrial waste during most of the 20th century just ran into the bay, killing almost anything remaining. Some of those chemicals were very bad for the wood as well, though.

Bump. Really dumb/bizarre question.

+ Show Spoiler +
When painting a picture like, I don't know, Da Vinci or whoever or even modern artists. Are they painting freestyle or do they sketch on the surface first then fill it in, or do they do the former and do it all by memory of what they want it to look like?

Depends on the artist, back in Da Vinci's day they would 100% use underdrawings because painting exclusively from life is very hard. Many, many artists will still do this, methodology varies between artists, start with a drawing, fill in light and show, etc. etc.

Working purely from memory is exceptionally rare, human memory is absolute piss 'n shit when it comes to accurately recalling form and light and every other aspect of our vision. The vast majority of truly excellent artists are using tons and tons of reference imagery. Its an absurd number of variables to try and actively keep and refer to in your brain, its just too much.

It's also a lot easier to edit a painting when it's still just markings before going through the arduous process of mixing paints and applying them all at the same proper way and time.

We've seen a few paintings from the masters that were much more complicated and ornate than what ended up as the day vincies lost interest or had interns basically do the scut work of applying the paints.

Does anyone have a good idea what i could do with an older Laptop/Tablet Hybrid thingy? (Asus T100TA)

I am not going to use it as either a Laptop or a tablet ever again. Are there any cool ideas for things i could build out of it? Some Gadget or whatever?

If you have like a smaller aquarium you could turn the screen into an interactive background to make it feel bigger for the fishys. My brother built one of these out of an old monitor and a raspberry pi.

They certainly seem to be more active since he's installed it. Plus the raspberry pi controls basically everything the water quality, o2 levels and the feeder. So all he has to do is clean it once a year, according to him it's "quite nifty." xD

Nice idea, but I don't have an aquarium, so i don't think that will be useful to me.

Is there not a charity you can give it to who can still use it?
