You are standing next to a lever that operates the points on a railway line. Operating the points can redirect the train off the main line and into a siding. There is a train coming and if you do nothing, the train will definitely kill 5 people (you don't know these people - they have no relationship with you, all adults, no children) who are stranded on the railway track a little further down the line. However, if you pull the lever and switch the points to send the train into the siding, it will miss the five people but will definitely kill one person who is stranded on this line.

Would you divert the train to save the 5 people, but kill the single person if.......

A. The person that would be killed is a 50 year old man
B. The person that would be killed is a 5 year old girl
C. The person that would be killed is a known paedophile
D. The person that would be killed is your wife/husband

I have been working at two seperate jobs now (both call centers). One was at a call center for a law firm and that only lasted one week. The training was only one week and didn't go very smoothly. It seems that companies here in Texas are training people less and less. A majority of the time new employees really don't know what to do on the job. It seems that training new employees is not a top priority of companies these days compared to 30 years ago and are spending less money on that training to cut costs. My question is why is this trend happening and is there any way of changing it so employees know what their job functions and roles are and know what to do on the job? Is this in other sectors too? I am now working in a call center and it is related to DSL and the internet and they only train new employees for a week and it only lasts 20 hours and they pay very cheap and expect people to pretty much be a network technician when they are completed. Why do employers do this?

I've been really stressed out lately and i keep forgetting stuff. Yesterday i completely forgot about a class i had and i forgot that i was supposed to baby sit my brothers kids until he called and reminded me that i was supposed to be there. I forget stuff at work all the time and i cant remember some stuff that i did an hour ago. Can stress do that or should i be looking for some other cause. I know that memory loss is part of aging but im only 18. In all fairness i have been stressed out alot lately, more then normal. But unlike alot of ppl stress keeps me going, i work better when im stressed out.

I have really bad lower back pain. I've gotten used to it because I've lived with it for so long but
sometimes it gets really bad to where I cant sit or I will literally cry. I've tried back pain stretches
from information I've gotten online but that had just made my back problems worse. It does feel way better
sitting straight upright but by doing so i've noticed no change in my back pain in the long run. The last time my doctor checked my back was when I was in 4th grade and I had scoliosis. Is there anything I can do for my lower back pain? I know its a common problem so there has to be something out there that people have tried and succeeded with

I was just wondering how do you decide who's going in the next level? Is it more about the net run rate or the number of games you win?

Let's say that...
SL win 3
India 1
Bangladesh 2
Bermuda 0

In this case, if India has a higher net run rate than Bangla does this qualify India for the next level or is it based on number of wins?

Situation number 2:
SL lost again India and that puts them on 2 wins
India 2 wins
Bangladesh beats bermuda

In this situation you have a 3 way tie, so who's going in the next level?

Angels are one of my favorite fish ever. I would like to keep a school of 5 in my new 120 gallon. I asked a question about it last night because I had 2 small ones in the 120 and 3 in a quarentine 10 gallon tank. The 10 gallon had a reading of ~.15 ammonia when I tested it and everything else checked out perfect in both tanks. In the last 24 hours I have lost 2 in the 10 gallon and 1 in the 120 to the spinning disease I guess. The one in the 120 is still spinning and seems to be trying to get food.

Anyway: I can return the 2 dead ones upstairs still and when I replace them is there a way to help prevent this from happening to them all again. I do have a 3.5'' angel in a 29 gallon that will be going to the 120 when the others are larger and I'm worried if this could happen to that one during the transfer?

Is this usually caused by the stress of a move or by something else? Please help. I love angels and don't like that I have to go through 5 in order to get 1 to survive

I plan to incinerate my domestic refuse. I will use the heat to pump water to top up my micro hydro scheme and hence generate electricity.
Why are green activists against incineration? If we generate the waste (i agree the volume should be cut) and it goes to landfill it generates methane which is a worse GH gas than C02 and we get nothing back from it.
