  • I beat egg whites for 35 minutes and never got soft peaks, what did I do wrong?

    I did everything right: made sure there was no water/grease/yolk in the egg whites or bowl, added the right amount of cream of tartar and salt, and used an electric mixer on the right setting (I started on a low setting and went high when the egg whites became foamy). Nothing worked and I wasted over a half hour trying to beat the egg whites, but they never did anything but stay foamy. Why?

  • Am I allergic to chocolate?

    Whenever I eat chocolate candy or chocolate milk, my throat starts to burn and it makes it very hard to breathe. I think it may even swell but I can't tell for sure. However, if I drink water after getting this reaction then my symptoms go away and I can breathe normally again.

    Strangely, I do NOT get a reaction if I eat chocolate ice cream or cake (however chocolate frosting does bother me). This has been happening since April, and it's totally new for me. It has also gotten worse since then. At first I only experienced trouble breathing when I ate a Reese's cup, then regualr chocolate bars, and now nearly anything that contains chocolate bothers me (except for ice cream and cake)

    Is it possible I developed a chocolate allergy?  How would I know for sure?

  • How do I get spotted lanternflies off my fig tree?

    I live in Southeastern Pennsylvania (USA) and spotted lanternflies are a huge problem here. They swarm plants and are attacking my fig tree. I've read that they can cause serious damage to agriculture and that if you see one you should kill it. The problem is that they are all over the tree's branches and I don't know how to kill the lanternflies without harming my fig tree. Any thoughts on what I should do?

  • Why am I, male 16, constantly tired and in pain?

    Ever since November, I have dealt with chronic muscle pain/tenderness and extreme fatigue. It gradually got worse until I saw a doctor, the doctor said I have Amplified Pain Syndrome and that treatment will help fix it within a couple months. Treatment consists of intense aerobic exercise and physical therapy. It has been 2 months and I feel no better, if not worse. My pain and fatigue have only gotten worse with the intense pain, but my doctor says it is the intense exercise is the only way I will fell better.

    I think my doctor is wrong, and I am going in for a follow up next week to check on my progress. I am going to tell her everything that has happened and how I am feeling.

    Is there any condition I can bring up to her? Rhumetoid Arthritis runs in my family, but my doctor dismissed that as a cause. My sister thinks I may have fibromyalgia. Any thoughts?

  • How do monopolies still exist in the United States?

    Under the Sherman Antitrust Act of 1890, monopolies are banned under US law to create economic competition, among other reasons. I don't understand how there are so many monopolies today? We have Disney, Google (Alphabet Inc), Pepsico, Proctor & Gamble, Bayer (Monsanto), Tyson, Conagra, etc completely dominating various industries in the United Staes. Are these companies funding poltics in the United States? Or dies the government simply not care?

  • Why is President Trump changing many laws that protect endangered species?

    Over the past year he has lifted bans on ivory imports and now has significantly weakened protections for endangered animals. My question is simply this: WTF? These animals are already dying at alarming rates and if their populations continue to decrease and/or go extinct it will have detrimental affects on the world. Not to mention how morally wrong it is for us to be doing this.

    I am taking care of my neighbor's cat and for some reason he just doesn't want to eat.
