  1. "Intriguing"/"controversial" statement from someone who suspends and bans people..
  2. I just bought new, fresh (dry) pasta, and on it it says "put 100 g of pasta per 1 liter of boiling water, slowly enough not to interrupt the boiling of the water". Let's check your method with tap water, no boiling water..
  3. I like my pasta overcooked rather than raw. 3 minutes sound like a joke. 3 minutes for how much pasta and how much water? Last time I made 133 g of dry pasta, cooked it for 20-30 minutes, and it absorbed all the water from the pot and grew to maybe 500 g. There are different types of pasta, with or without eggs, with different contents. Each of them requires different treatment. Remaining water from pasta cooking is used for meat, sauce, soup, not wasted. I also often reuse the potato water in subsequent dishes.
  4. I have not bothered to participate in this (idiotic IMHO) thread, but.. This question creates the idiotic philosophical question, "does everything must have to consist of something". (which will be endless loop of dependencies)
  5. LOL. This applies not only to children..
  6. Laser rangefinders don't work and it is a worldwide scam?
  7. A random particle travels through a B field and changes its direction of flight, accelerating/decelerating due to the presence of field B and the absence of field E. Doesn't it "do the work"? What do you mean at quantum scale "do the work"? It is the particles that do the work, i.e., accelerate/decelerate under certain circumstances, and they do it on both sides, the test particle and the particles that created the B-field..
  8. Sounds like Sisyphean work, i.e. endless job. The lake gets ions from higher elevations and from the soil, over which you have no control. Try different water filters and check the results before filtering and after filtering. https://www.google.com/search?q=drinking+water+filter+for+hard+water Instead of modifying all the water in the lake, try modifying only what the animals drink. It will be more economical.
  9. What for? Being in an unhealthy relationship is pathology, not divorce. Divorce is a rescue from a pathological relationship. In the past, when divorce was forbidden, people even killed their wives (e.g. English kings) to make space for a new wife. Thus, murder in their sick mind was a lesser sin than divorce. "Until death do us part" was understood in a pathological way and put into practice. I doubt you will be able to back up this claim.. We have a saying that "nothing unites a wife and husband as well as a home mortgage" (yet another example of pathology). Wife and husband should be "glued" together, even if 1) they don't love each other, 2) they hate each other.. ? It would be much easier to find a life partner among people who actually like what we like. Neverthless, I would have no problem going alone to do what I like and letting my partner do what he/she likes.

    It depends on the properties of the air. If the air is dry, water from the glass will evaporate. If the air is humid, water will condense and appear "out of nowhere" even without rain (e.g. dew on leaves). That is, the humidity of the air is a key factor in determining whether or not a glass of water will disappear. "When the temperature is high and the relative humidity is low, evaporation of water is rapid; soil dries, wet clothes hung on a line or rack dry quickly, and perspiration readily evaporates from the skin. Wooden furniture can shrink, causing the paint that covers these surfaces to fracture. When the temperature is low and the relative humidity is high, evaporation of water is slow. When relative humidity approaches 100 %, condensation can occur on surfaces, leading to problems with mold, corrosion, decay, and other moisture-related deterioration. Condensation can pose a safety risk as it can promote the growth of mold and wood rot as well as possibly freezing emergency exits shut."
  11. The boiling point of compounds depends on atmospheric pressure (without covering the vessel), and from internal pressure (with covering). So, one can exceed 100 C, just by covering the pot.. e.g. making a tea at altitude 500m is slightly different than making a tea at sea level. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-altitude_cooking https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure_cooking Adding salt (which is natural for any not distillated not demineralized water), etc. also changes the equation. https://www.google.com/search?q=salt+water+boiling+point "The exact temperature depends on the concentration of salt. For a typical saltwater solution (like seawater, which is about 3.5% salt), the boiling point is around 102°C, slightly higher than the 100°C boiling point of pure water." You also need to break the bonds between the water molecule and the salt ions too.
  12. There is an adage: "There is no software without bugs, but only software in which no one has yet found them."
  13. Computer programmers use 'true' and 'false' all day long in software. Logical (boolean) operators return "true" or "false". e.g. if( x > y ) then do something #1 else do something #2. However, we can imagine a bug where the result of an operator depends on the result of the same operator (which depends on the result of the same operator etc.), resulting in an infinite recursion that is infeasible and will cause the software to crash (stack overflow due to not having infinite amount of memory).
  14. Except that the zebra lives in southern and eastern Africa, and the tiger in Asia..
  15. The fix is ultra easy and does not require the presence of an administrator as long as the BIOS is not password-protected, PEX is not used, system drive is not password encrypted, and booting from USB is enabled. Download Linux Live pendrive e.g. Kali Linux Live, save to a flash drive, boot from the flash drive on the target machine, mount the Windows system partition, rename folder C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\Crowdstrike and reboot the system. Administrator privileges are not needed, just Linux Live on a flash drive. You can hack into any Windows or Linux this way, as long as you have physical access to it.
  16. Oil has some uses besides being a fuel, such as people making plastic from it. Plastics can be produced from a variety of sources, for example, thermal decomposition of bioethanol (i.e. ethanol from fermentation of plants) creates ethylene, and then polyethylene or other compounds can be created from it. The question is at what cost. Land used to grow crops for bioethanol is not used for food production, which increases its cost. There are attempts to directly create ethanol from air https://www.google.com/search?q=ethanol+from+air+produiction Crude oil is the result of the decomposition of living plants and animals, compressed over millions of years. So whatever can be created from crude oil, gas or coal, can be simulated simply by using the sun and carbon-rich compounds and water..
  17. Send it to hungry Nigerian orphans..
  18. I guess everyone would prefer to, copy and paste of the text of this document instead.
  19. Nobody read. 0 downloads... Which is expectable on our science forum.. as people here are slightly above average.. It's not a PDF. Worse. Some Windows/Microsoft crap.. https://www.google.com/search?q=docx+exploit If somebody does not update system, it is pretty fresh exploit from 2021, hacker can use this to hack in Windows using docx format: https://www.exploit-db.com/docs/50577
  20. A slightly misleading comparison, because not taking into account their populations. https://www.google.com/search?q=hippos+population "around 115,000 to 130,000" https://www.google.com/search?q=lion+population "between 23,000 and 39,000 lions" 130k / 23k = 5.6x more. So if lions had a similar population to hippos, they would have ~ 124. If you're fishing on a boat, it's much easier to inadvertently get too close to hippos than to lions in national park. Nice interactive maps with populations of these animals in each country: https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/hippo-population-by-country https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/lion-population-by-country BTW, "It has been estimated that about 1,000 people are killed by crocodiles each year." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crocodile_attack
  21. Use email aliases. If there is a server leak, only the mailbox alias will leak, not the real e-mail address. You can see who is sending you unwanted e-mail because each service has a different alias. ..especially if you will use your real name, real email address, real domain address, real phone number.. Social media these days often don't use static plain HTML that is parsed like in the old days. Instead, they use dynamically generated HTML output from JavaScript or similar by user browser. Twitter was/is leading at it. FB second. This means that every time someone reaches the same URL, they will or may get something different. This is useless to search engines. So they (the search engine owners and the social networks) created a hidden b2b APIs. In a forum such as this, searching whether "X" said "Y" is quite easy. In social media, it's almost impossible. Public developers API for FB https://developers.facebook.com/docs/pages-api (these commands will work for your own FB account and pages) If you bother about your privacy, don't use social media, don't use Google Play Store and Goggle Account, and Apple ID..
  22. Yes. Obviously. If you run Linux live, you can see their UUID in, for example, the /media/$USER/.. folder. or in GParted.. Windows even stores all the UUIDs of the flash drives ever connected to the computer in the registry..
  23. Then you should express your thoughts in a more detailed and less ambiguous way.. Everyone on the forum wishes that..
  24. ..starting programming with JavaScript is one of the worst decisions someone who wants to learn programming can make.. Web browser + NotePad = you don't have a debugger, documentation, completion, errors and warnings are hard to get, you don't have the tools a newbie should have.. Your whole post is silly.. and childish...
