If somebody accuses of you of something, to which you think you are not guilty, they are going to get the sharp end of your tongue; especially on a subject the media is sensitized to and will make a meal of, no matter how tenuous. I'd tell her where to go in no uncertain terms.

I think really you should say the speed is set by spacetime... but it's still wrong AFAIK.

I know. It appears to be fundamental, which means 'it is what it is'.

Relativity says c is the limit. It is the reference.

Do you think we'll ever be able say why c is that speed/what limits it, or will it always be axiomatic?

I think, if life wasn't an emergent phenomena, we'd have worked it out by now by simply reverse engineering the chemistry and physics of it but, unfortunately, 2+2 makes 5.

What do you call it: The Scratched Record Hypothesis?

Yeah, if an led source is your mainstay ambient evening light, then CRI probably matters much more.

That'll be me.

One other thing you can check is what she has starting up. Right-click taskbar > Click Task Manager > Select Startup Tab > Disable everything except Windows Defender > Restart. This doesn't disable programs, it just prevents them from starting.

Usable ideas develop from existing knowledge, not in a vacuum. Anything else is science fiction.

Try adwcleaner. It's for getting rid of adware. Run it then follow the prompts then restart. It will give you a log after. Do it in your wife's account. https://www.malwarebytes.com/adwcleaner/

At least we agree on the right course of action for him. I was taking exception to you calling computer-naive people 'idiots' when i wrote that. Moon: to reset your pc, type 'reset' in the search box in the taskbar of of your pc. Click on the magnifying glass then type 'reset'. click on the 'Reset your pc' link then click on 'Get Started'. You will have the option to save your stuff. After it's done there will be updates to do but Windows should handle them.

That includes 99+% of users, so what you say is about as much use as a chocolate fireguard. Moon. save your stuff then reinstall your computer. It's the only way to have peace of mind and W10 makes it a lot easier now. It will save your stuff but it's best to do a separate save as well in casesomething goes wrong.

I don't think it's ransomware, as it encrypts your PC. I would go to Bleeping Computer Here for assistance.

In quantum terms, those vibrations DrP mentions are described as 'phonons'.

According to Reuters, this has likely been planned well in advance of the current issues; probably months.

The sea of Azov is not solely Russian, so I don't know where you are coming from.

I'm overweight but ok.

When most people are overweight, it becomes the 'new normal', so nobody feels they have to do anything. I'll be sure not to put on my spandex onesie when you're around.

It highlights the problem.

This is what is making people wet their pants and Putin is exploiting it handsomely. Time to man up.

He and his acolytes don't want them..

I can picture it hacking with those teeth on my dead body, like a pick axe going "Nom Nom..."
