  1. He's a conman par excellence.
  2. Why do people overthink time when it is merely another parameter of the universe?
  3. If one useful thing has come out of this, it is that everyone can now see the weaknesses in the protections of the constitution against authoritarianism. I am somewhat heartened that the Republican SC judges don't always go down the purely partisan route and precedent still means something.
  4. Well, he needs to bury a lot of bad news back home.
  5. Everything he says seems to be with an eye on November.
  6. It's been a long time since I've seen a burette.... clearly, I've forgotten.
  7. How is this a zero error since his error is not due to an inaccurate zero. He's just slapdash. If his apparatus zero point is correct, he has the potential to measure correctly. It's his upper bound that is inaccurate not the zero point.
  8. The example I read about was due to parallax error as an example.
  9. 'Zero error' is the degree of error at the zero mark. Does that agree with the statement you posted?
  10. Aren't you all glad that you found science as an interest/vocation? We could all easily be victims to this kind of BS if we didn't know the science basics.
  11. Whatever the quality of an argument and evidence, it's down to the reader to corroborate it. You can lead a person to a book but you can't make them think.
  12. Here's the rebuttal: https://blogs.scientificamerican.com/observations/dont-fall-prey-to-scaremongering-about-5g/ This author is a physicist and cancer researcher at Oxford university. Note that both our links are opinion pieces.
  13. It's normal in the intestinal tract. Maybe somebody else will chime in.
  14. He should refer you to someone that does know. There's nobody here that can offer medical advice.
  15. Right, ok. What causes that? Is that an effect of the virus nullifying it?
  16. Is the short immunity due to pretty rapid frequency of mutation?
  17. One of the things I look for in choosing a politician is gravitas; both Powell and Rice had it in spades.
  18. Condy for prez!
  19. Could it not be that your headaches were a symptom of caffeine withdrawal and, of course, consumption will remove it? I reduced my consumption and the headaches were really quite painful when withdrawing. Decaff for me now, which is about 90% reduction. Caffeine is mainly thought of as a vasoconstrictor, I think.
  20. Yes. All that gender stuff seems weird as an English speaker. I also found it interesting that contrary to my original assumption, it wasn't the gentrified languages that permeated the masses but Scandanavian ones who actually mixed with the natives of the day.
  21. I found this article (quite long) how English mangled it's way to where it is now: https://erenow.net/common/our-magnificent-bastard-tongue/3.php
  22. I think French might formally prescribed (single nucleus) as well and has an authoritative body managing it.
  23. Given that English is the bastard product of at least four distinct languages, how can there be strict rules? There are rules if one understands the etymology of a style or word, say latin.
