A beautiful woman may not consider herself so unless it's reinforced by positive responses from other women. so she may feel ugly if their feedback is negative.I think other women's opinions carry more weight with women than men, who likely just want to get in their knickers. People don't know they are attractive unless they are told so, by actions or words. A physically beautiful person may make those who might be their friends inadequate, which can make them feel ostracised and unattractive. One can't automatically assume that they are dodgy. The more you are to the left or right of the Bell curve the more likely this to happen.

Perhaps because they conflate self-consciousness with consciousness.

I think the HPV may implicated in some prostate cancers and, like any sexually transmissible organism, the odds of infection increase with the number of sexual partners.

Being hotter in Houston, that means you're sweating a lot more to cool down plus the humidity. This will likely result in having wetter skin.

He didn't know what to ask and now he's got some ideas that he may indeed have a problem and can seek professional advice. keep your panties on.

I said to myself "Bah, humbug" to TV 10 years ago and haven't had one since. You could rig a 4K HDMI TV to your computer and use it as a monitor.

You perhaps remember a time when MS-DOS diehards thought Windows98 was a gimmick or even Linux nerds that worked the same sort of command line interface.

There is another specific condition to do with this called 'dysgraphia'. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dysgraphia

Aye. There'll come a point where I start fossilising into certain routines. In 15 years I'll be 70.

I speculate that nothing of mine will be kept or done in the cloud but it will be a massive thing, yes. I'm wedded to the idea of possessing my information in my own containers. The cloud is a dream for a big brother state.. We are digressing, I've just realised. One of the reasons for long term deterioration is repeated thermal fluctuations of the components being turned on and off.

Who knows? There might be 3D holographic projections which you touch or wave your arms about in utilities to do stuff and that may require power that's not available yet. We are probably good for 10 years.

Where do the forum experts seem themselves?

What constitutes 'reality' is the result of intersubjective consensus and those that have a different internal mental construct from that consensus are considered to be outliers.

Do you mean you read them in the wrong place. I suppose it's possible, if your pupil is covered enough by your eyelid then there might be two different 'letters' getting sent to your brain and it gets confused.

They might last longer now but it's certainly been the case since mass computing started to date. Your doubling the RAM is a case in point: to cope with the increasing demands of modern software and internet.

That's the one. Only in some people and they are the ones likely to fall to confirmation bias. Obviously, there is a desire but good scientists are acutely aware of stuff like this. That's why peer review is such a good mechanism and those scientists in the Opera experiment are fine examples of this using it and clearly negate your hypothesis that it is a ubiquitous trait. A lot of the regulars here know that facts can change with new evidence and only defend a stance in the face of current evidence.

This is exemplified by the other GW experiment, who's name escapes me, when they put out their results for external examination and an electrical fault was discovered.

I was on on about the latest software working with old machines and security vulnerasbilities associated with being forced to use older, insecure versions.

With Linux, one has to sign in as admin every time one wants to go under the bonnet, that's it's main strength isn't it? I'm a standard user that has to sign for admin privileges in my Windows setup. I'm not interested in have 'the most' secure system just for the sake of it I have sufficient nous to avoid anything serious and am backed up if it does happen.. As far as the two systems go, i prefer to just use the system with the most minimal learning curve and the widest user base, since if something goes wrong, someone's got the solution.

I appreciate that financial means can dictate what one can have but, after that time, as software keeps getting written for the newer, more powerful hardware it means you can't run that software after a certain iteration because it's under powered and/or new protocols have been written that makes the OS on the old machine incompatible, thus severely weakening security. .

Definitely. it would be useful to you as well in consolidating what you've learnt in communication terms as well as the physics. i think it would be good if you aim for the same sort of audience and in the spirit that Sean did in that video but in written form. I'm sure you are quite capable of writing for a mathematically-capable audience as well but I think they are probably well catered for.

Perhaps you might write something in durable form, some time, so that others may appreciate your clarity. All other other treatments of this subject I've seen require quite extensive prior knowledge. You and Sean Carroll's video have made it a lot easier for us neophytes. I would call it "The Neophytes Guide to Fields". Put me down for a copy. Volume with nothing in it is nothing. It is defined by what's in it or the space it occupies. You can't have 'length' without something having length. It's a property of things. 'Space' has something in it, be it only fields.

Volume is defined by whatever occupies it. Whatever occupies it defines the boundary. It is a parameter and does not exist by itself.

It's all good. You do a fine job introducing people to the idea of fields in an accessible way.
