There's always the yet-to-be-known pathogenic agents to consider and I think prions are pretty hard to get rid of. I think as long as using whatever is a clinical decision, it's the right thing to use.

I'm just saying how it is. If it's not accepted by mainstream science then it's not a fact because it hasn't passed peer review.

It's probably worthwhile if it improves clinical outcomes by reducing the possibility of contamination. Adverse patient events due to this may actually cost more economically to mitigate, besides the human cost.

We don't want people talking out of their derriere. You have to build from what is known. You can't create an island of an idea in the middle of nowhere and expect it to make scientific sense.

You've been here long enough to know how this place works. Just remember: you are not Galileo.

Right. Thanks.

When I said "9 billionths of a second", does that mean for every elapsed second of the device the error is one part in 9 billion? Right.Thanks for the clarification. A clock can be perfectly stable (precise) but still show the wrong time (not accurate)?

I never thought of those terms as distinct.

Until you see a deviation of one second, then you can say the the device is "accurate to one second in x time". For your reference: swansont builds atomic clocks as his day job. His clocks are accurate to 9 billionths of a second.

In their own frame of motion, which is inertial, the individual raisins are not moving but every one around them is. It's an increase in the intervening space.

I have never heard of a door's designed stability being dependent on the colour of paint used. You are way off the mark. It's ridiculous. The door is plainly poorly engineered for that environment. It's possibly a door designed for internal use and it''s been wrongly specced for external use.

Swansont is a physicist and this will be elementary knowledge for him. Infra-red and plain old convection on one side of the door will be more prevalent than UV,. UV is more energetic than IR but it is not heat per se.... it's not what warms things up. Your door supplier is talking rubbish.

It might be the veneer not allowing the door to expand uniformly when it warms up i.e. different coefficients of expansion between the timbers.

LOL!

Is that an Escher fork?

One man's propaganda is another man's confirmation of his views. It shall be ever thus. We see what we want to see and ignore the rest.

But how can you save when you are perpetually poor? The model needs to be that NI should rise and fall with the needs of the NHS. Healthcare is expensive. We've only got to look across the pond to see the alternative.

Yes, this is true. Considering how thin the line of neutrality is, they've done rather well for a very long time but I suppose nothing lasts forever. I do bear in mind i'm getting older and my opinions may be fossilizing, consistent with my era... born in 1962.

It's taking on a distinctly pro-feminist, pro-European tone and contorts itself over the migrant issue, for three examples. Reuters is definitely more neutral. Opinions should stay in explicitly-labelled opinion pieces not in the general news reportage. A news organ should not have an opinion pervading through its reporting.... that's up to the reader to have. On the technical side, in filming and sound techniques, they are without peer...I can always appreciate that.

Should stick to the Oxford English Dictionary.

Local aftersales care is worthwhile with big ticket items like bikes or things that you have a long term interest in..

What you are looking for is to make essential oil from it... Google that. You could then use that oil to make scented candles. You can buy mint oil, so I imagine you could make it. I just read it takes 265lb of leaves to make 1lb of oil.

Has it ever? Most people used to read one newspaper a day, have a radio news and a TV news programme. You could turn the whole thing around and say, with all the current choices, propaganda is harder to do in a concerted way and shorter-lived. Leaks are much more prevalent now. I think I'm too positive and always make good things out of bad.

The obvious first step is to carefully select your primary news sources and have them in different countries so that you get balanced but different viewpoints on the same news. I use BBC (UK), Reuters (Canada), Japan Times (Japan). I don't if it's me getting older, but the BBC seems to be not as neutral as I would like. It has agendas that it consistently promotes.
