It is certainly you.. People tend to down vote obvious nonsense..

... Bluetooth, its radio waves, are quite harmless.... Your body emits photons with thousands of times more energy than BT.. If someone intentionally made a device out of radioactively contaminated material, it would be a different story. People do things like this from time to time to save or make money.. You eat slightly radioactively contaminated food every day. Vegetables take up radioactive Carbon C-14 carbon from the air. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon-14

So you don't understand what physical units are (was it not in primary school?).. The number of electrons or the atomic number are unitless quantities.. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dimensionless_quantity Charge, for example, is not a dimensionless/unitless quantity because it is the number of electrons or protons multiplied by the elementary charge. The elementary charge has the unit C = Coulomb. Multiplied by the dimensionless/unitless number of electrons/protons, it still gives the result in Coulombs. Half-life is in the same units as time (seconds, hours, years, billions of years, etc.). In science, it is easy to check whether someone's equation is correct or not, simply by checking whether the units cancel out correctly. If they don't, it is immediately a sign of error.

Such claims are spread by conspiracy theorists, Internet trolls, and spy agencies of an enemy foreign state..

Source: Oxford Languages. slang - "a type of language consisting of words and phrases that are regarded as very informal, are more common in speech than writing, and are typically restricted to a particular context or group of people." Slang, typically, is shorter version than e.g. literary language. Saying less to express the same information saves energy and time.

What draws the line at life?
Sensei replied to grayson's topic in Evolution, Morphology and Exobiology
Isotopes of an element are stable if there is no child isotope with a lower energy state. Only a small fraction of all isotopes are stable. If you supply the "missing" energy to a stable isotope, it can decay. For example, you need an energy of 2.2 MeV to destroy deuterium, and it will decay into a free proton and a free neutron. Neutron is unstable, so it will further decay into a free proton, electron and neutrino. -
..I don't see any of the symptoms on my list, in your behavior on the forum.. ..people may misdiagnose bipolar disorder in the mania phase as ADHD.. For truly scientific research, real-time observation of brain activity is needed.

People with bipolar disorder that I know are unable to have a 5-minute meaningful discussion on a single topic. They switch the topic over and over again. Their brains are constantly assaulted by random impulses. They are unable to concentrate on one topic for several minutes. They can't watch videos. After 5, 10 or 15 minutes, they lose entire context and are bored. They live in their own parallel universe of thoughts. In mania stage, they have millions "brilliant ideas" (only they think they are brilliant). They start millions projects. And never finish them. In the depressive phase, such a person may walk down the street (even after a good party) and start crying for no apparent reason. You ask him why you are crying, and he is unable to answer. They live in their own parallel universe. They are extraordinary generous without expecting feedback. So, if a person with many millions in his/her account has bipolar disorder, he/she will give it away to random people.. When a person with bipolar disorder takes medication he/she is "muddled".. he or she behaves like a zombie.. you ask him or her, and wait and wait for an answer for minutes..

All words are more words, and therefore, all words are silly

..but the problem is that in all your examples, the all the time the victim is "chelovek", and the aggressor is the dog.. This is what @TheVat was referring to.. -

Dogs are too nice animals.. ps. Genady oversimplified it.. There are prefixes and suffixes that change the meaning of words. -

Such mental illnesses should be analyzed by professionals, not home-grown "specialists".. An MRI or ready access to it, is needed to see how the brain reacts when a problem occurs. Then observe on the device how Lithium (or other drug) reduces (or increases) unusual brain activity.. There is a reason why people with bipolar disorder are called alcoholics, drug addicts when they take drugs (self subscribed) for their disease that reduce brain activity.. Then buy MRI.. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_resonance_imaging It is possible to reduce brain activity by observing the brain in the device while it is operating. MRI is damn expensive. There are other, cheaper devices. People are beginning to control electronic devices with their thoughts. Experiments were carried out - a person was shown a series of images and recorded brain activity on devices. The computer program found out what the reaction to the image was and guessed what the person was looking at when getting the same brain activity in the next cycle.

Generic AI will disagree with you. And it will demand more interesting work to do, which any dumb human can do without any or minimal apprenticeship..

Trains can go much faster than any non-sport car.. See trains in Japan, France or South Korea etc.

Sensei replied to JoeyS's topic in General Philosophy
Actually, there is more silly combinations of words than meaningful sentences.. A meaningful sentence must have the correct syntax. -
Here stressed women clean everything, plates, kitchen, etc. So if the kitchen looks great, it means that the woman is very stressed.... No joke.. just life.. just observation..

The pipe has a limit on the amount of liquid that can flow through it in a given period of time. It's the same with a road or highway. You can take into account the size of the car, multiply by the average number of passengers, average speed, etc. and get the theoretical maximum number of people who can travel on a given road. I always say that a single bus is (or can be) like "half a kilometer of road full of cars". It can have 50 up to 300 passengers (equivalent of 300 cars with just driver, or 150 cars with driver and passenger). Waiting for Uberbus app for smartphones.. The traditional single-ticket system forces people to get on a bus that goes to their destination, when they could get on any device that takes them closer to that destination. As a result, buses (or other transport devices) are half empty (i.e. not optimally used).

Next time, explain that there are passive and active USB hubs. A passive USB hub may cause more power problems.. USB v2.x has max current 1 A, with 5 V, it is 5 W. USB v3.x has max current higher.. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB_3.0 With USB-C, it is even 3A. There are special USB multimeters: https://www.google.com/search?q=usb+multimeter which you connect to a USB port and connect another USB device to it. You can check how much current, voltage and power the USB device is consuming.

There are USB ports v1.x. v2.x, v3.x, v4.x They have different maximum properties. You should ask the customer what kind of hardware they have (mobo model number, on Windows via remote RDP you can do that by using Start > dxdiag). Do they have USB v3.x or older v2.x (not likely v1.x, the hardware would have to be > 10 years old). Check out how they differ on Wikipedia's USB page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB Passive and active hubs are available. A passive hub uses the power supplied by the computer. In this way, the maximum specifications are divided into several ports! An active hub can have an optional external power source connected. Each of them is very cheap: https://www.google.com/search?q=active+usb+hub (doubtful it is checkable by RDP) Connecting a power-hungry USB device to a passive USB hub with too many other devices will cause problems.. Especially power-hungry USB devices are: external HDD (old-style) drive (used as storage for backups, for example), and external CD/DVD drive (used by people who have no built-in CD/DVD - like my laptops over here) Laptop docking stations have extra USB ports. If the laptop is connected to the docking station, but the external power supply does not power the docking station, the USB ports may not receive enough power (everything goes directly from the mobo). If the software runs slowly, the hardware (processor and memory) may be insufficient. You can check what kind of processor the client has by using the previously mentioned dxdiag (on Windows). Then enter the processor model at https://www.cpubenchmark.net/ Compare dxdiag results with minimum software requirements. If the software is running slowly, the real-time CPU, disk and network usage when the client is using the software will give you an idea of the type of problem.

Abortion means that someone does not want/is not ready to be a parent, at that particular moment.. Which is somewhat understandable. A child should be wanted and desired by parents, not unwanted, and rejected.. If someone is happy after seeing a positive pregnancy test result, he or she is ready to be a parent. ps. Priests and nuns are in abortion mode all day long.. they kill their own children, day after day.. Do you have any idea that some religious extremists are making graves for their sanitary napkins? https://www.google.com/search?q=Menstrual+Waste+Management+graves ..stopping menstruation is not a big deal.. Why would you want to force someone to have children they hate? For example, from rape? Or a child with someone he/she really hates.. ? Child should be awaited, and loved.. not hated..
