  1. You may regret it, and miss him, if the new PM is pro-Russian.. risky operation at tough times..
  2. Here we have computer bots calling people and doing surveys.... Local YouTube is full of people mocking them when they can't answer basic questions.. Such a bot usually resets to the beginning of the script if you still say "Hello" or equivalent.
  3. ..outsourcing ICT services to East Asia.. The next time try: - where are you? - in Toronto (e.g.) - what is the time/weather in Toronto? - (a person in India may have no idea what the time/weather is on the other side of the world)
  4. ..now you have Google Translator.. type a word and press play to hear how to pronounce the word correctly.. (Deepl is better than Google Translator, but has less features and less languages) Why, oh why on Earth, people in India don't use this feature (more often) to learn the correct pronunciation.. ..you can't believe it's a real teacher.. https://www.facebook.com/todayenglishmadrid/videos/funny-indian-teachers-spelling-english-words/886573301717697/
  5. @kba What is wrong with the education system in your country?
  6. 2 cents: 1) water evaporates 2) water freezes in winter ...it was much easier to "not shut down perfectly fine nuclear power plants after the Fukushima accident"....
  7. I would try UV light, because no one has mentioned this method, but it is widely used sterilization method. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultraviolet_germicidal_irradiation Once they are dead, use isopropanol or hydrogen peroxide to clean it.
  8. Would be better if they vacated Crimea..
  9. I have another one: before you use a chemical on your countertop (or anything else valuable), try it in a hidden area first to see if there's an unpleasant and/or unexpected reaction between the two..
  10. Sensei replied to Lan Todak's topic in The Lounge
    Do you realize that you need to have something of value for people to encourage them to read your text? Buy a website, with virtual hosting or a dedicated server. The cheapest one costs €4+VAT per month. 16 GB storage/1 Gbps *) Upload your text there. You will quickly find out that no one is reading it by analyzing the log files.. You need to publish it and advertise it.. Unpleasant but cheap is sending unsolicited junk spam e-mails (but make a database of people who have already received the email!).. A paid option, but one that reaches people who are more interested in the topic, is Google AdWords. Essentially, you're buying keywords related to your site's content. Another free option is to spread your site's URL around the Internet, in forums like this one. On some of these you will be banned. In abandoned forums, you won't be. But search engines will find your site's URL, analyze its content, and rank it (e.g., Google Page Rank https://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/PageRank ). The best solution is to intelligently combine all three options. *) at least you will be able to use it as an HTTP proxy and/or VPN server and/or private storage (safer than corporate "boxes")...
  11. Before you use any chemical on your countertop, try spilling Benzaldehyde green on something of no value, outside of your house, to see if it reacts with the chemical there..
  12. About 5,000 a year. How many of them are required to save women's lives?
  13. ...in which parallel Universe.. ? ..discuss like this, and it will end up like with Koti...
  14. How many late-term fetal abortions are there in the US? ..I would be surprised if women/girl show up who have spent 5,6...9 months pregnant and ask for an abortion, just like that, without a good reason... there must be a very good reason to ask for such a thing after investing so much time and energy... that requires a cesarean section anyway.. so child can be alive after it.. if it he/she is able to.. For example: a seriously ill or terminally ill fetus that would not have survived anyway.... a potential danger to the woman.. In many posts you push "late term abortion".... while it is a meaningless minority...
  15. What does it mean to be alive? Are viruses alive? They are organic matter, but some argue that they are not alive because they cannot reproduce without a host. Is this not the case? Can sperm or a woman's egg cell divide and spread on its own? Perhaps we/you should start with a definition of what is alive? ..do you want to be resurrected to check it out.. ?
  16. Disassemble the device until it is in a condition to measure voltages. At multiple different locations on the motherboard. Connect to a working computer. Measure the voltages (record it on a camera (recommended mini tripod) so you don't have to write on a piece of paper). Repeat with a non-functioning computer. This will tell you if and where there are differences. Get "USB Voltage meter": https://www.amazon.co.uk/s?k=usb+voltage+meter https://www.google.com/search?q=usb++voltage+meter The cheapest one is $5 *) Get "USB Oscilloscope" https://www.google.com/search?q=usb+oscilloscope The cheapest one is $25 If you want to play, how about this one DIY? https://www.google.com/search?q=JYETech+osciloscope+"DSO+138+Mini" unlike *) it has built-in LCD screen, so you won't have to plug it to the computer, which has advantages and disadvantages.
  17. Check the Scoville scale table: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scoville_scale It will help you figure out what sauce to buy next.. Sriracha sauce has just 1500-2000 on the scale. Try Caroline Reaper sauce. https://www.google.com/search?q=Caroline+Reaper+sauce With 1.5-2.2 millions on the scale. Ate it last week.
  18. What happened to your sperm today? Did it end up in the toilet? Or on wall? Did your girlfriend's tampon end up in the trash can? A quick rinse in the shower? Did you know that there are religious extremists who make "graves" out of tampons.. (these guys and girls are "level up", in their craziness..) Do you consider a sperm or cell to be less than alive?
  19. 1) Change diet. Spicy ingredients such as hot chili are especially good because they stimulate endorphin production. 2) Train sports. This also stimulates endorphin production. Endorphins are natural opiates, painkillers which are sometimes released in response to the chilli's sting. Like opiates they are said to induce a pervasive sense of happiness. https://www.google.com/search?q=endorphins+stimulants
  20. That's their twisted version.. Expect the prenatal testing system to collapse. Who wants to know that their future child is terminally ill and nothing will be done about it for months.. ? Miscarriage is a natural method to prevent the birth of a terminally ill fetus, that would not have survived anyway..
  21. "Pro-life" is similar newspeak like "Patriot Act" and similar.. to distract and mislead average citizen.. Oddly enough, beyond my comprehension, they are often gun lovers..
  22. No GR is needed to simulate macroscopic objects. There are online simulations of Solar System available to play e.g.: https://www.solarsystemscope.com/ set the date you want.
  23. Complete, with micro-scale asteroids? They are made every day, every second.. new free particles in cosmic space, especially solar wind are emitted by Sun, planets, etc. so complete data is not possible due to never enough amount of data.. ..but to some level of accuracy, based on sizes of cosmic objects, it's not a big problem..
  24. I would do a for-loop for each column in the canvas, instead of going from 0...99. Then map the pixel screen coordinate space to the exponential equation space. Then convert the result of the exponential equation back to screen coordinate space. Instead of drawing a rectangle, draw a straight vertical line for each column.
  25. "Photons have no rest-mass because there is no valid reference system in which the photon is at rest..." So says the science. Do you know the reference system in which the photon is at rest? Particles with rest-mass can be accelerated and decelerated i.e. their FoR can be changed.
