Understanding principles and relationships is more important than learning details that you can just look in a book or on the internet for. The numbers you use the most you will remember by repetitively using them anyway.

It is when that right kills innocent people. Just because something was granted 200 or 300 years ago does not mean, necessarily, that it should be there for all eternity.

And modern hunting methods with guns weaken the gene pool because the 'fittest' are just as likely to be killed as the weakest.

If we think of emotions as existential drivers and program those same priorities into AI, then they will probably respond the same. Consciousness and emotion are emergent consequences of simpler components ...the composition of elements which we don't know yet.

Good point

My apologies. Looking into it, I think your answer that shortwave is required is what he needs to know. The lights designed for that job seem reasonable enough price-wise...might as well get one of them.

...to the thickness of graphene.

Brilliant argument.; we must do it because we enjoy it. Men who raped the most women had the most children across the widest genetic landscape ...it's not "trivial fun." We must resurrect this ancient activity in the same spirit.

LEDS emit UV. Cheap and easily available

It seems to me you are increasingly 'scraping the barrel' to try and salvage your arguments. Dumpster-diving Polar bears is your idea of an acceptable destiny for those animals is it?

That's it. This is the second major weak link in the idea ... the first one being the actual intraspecific variation within a species, as Arete explained. Preserving the signal chain wouldn't be a trivial matter in this sort of exercise and is one that you definitely cannot ignore.

Bacteria may predigest more nutrients thus increasing the available energy to the host before being absorbed. Conversely, bacteria can parasitise nutrients and also their sheer numbers can physically inhibit absorption by acting as a barrier, leading to a slimmer host. if gut transit time has increased then a person needs more fibre. Try adding porridge and apples to your daily diet. If you are eating less that would explain the reduced frequency. If you are trying to lose weight, choose meals with a high physical density. Bread, biscuits, crisps, as examples, have low density because you can crush them much smaller. This has the effect of leaving you satisfied only for a short time before the desire to eat again comes. High density stuff, like porridge,potatoes, soup will keep you from wanting to eat again for a fair bit longer. Higher density foods persist longer in the stomach.

I have used fluorescent artificial fishing baits, charging them by shining my white LED headtorch very closely on them for a minute or two.

it's only been closely looked at mechanistically for not that long. Certain bacteria in the transplant may directly, or indirectly, facilitate more nutrient absorption in the recipient, leading to weight increase. The converse is believed to happen as well with the appropriate bacterial profile.

You have to ensure that you preserve all the pixels, when copying, as well. Many formats use or are set for lossy compression..

+1 for seeing the light. _As flattering as your comment is, I am no more than you are in the expert stakes. But I hope you've seen enough of my posts over the years that I don't post like that often and when I do, I am sincere... it was clear that the thread had it's own momentum with no facts to support its continuation. The idea likely has application elsewhere, and it is very interesting how colours are made up in computers of itself.

I don't go to different sites and criticise ideas, only this one. Sorry, but, when you present an idea, purporting to be scientific, it's not our job to help you make it work. if an idea survives criticism and can make accurate predictions, then it's a feasible idea.

I'm sorry you feel offended but it is patently obvious that the idea has no traction... it's like people are trying to find a grain of gold in a lorry load sand just to try and justify the effort spent now that's been made clear. if the idea worked, and Arete has made clear he's familiar with the concept and it's limitations, don't you think he'd be using it?.

...and 170-odd posts in, they blindly soldier on.

Sewers is one source. In DuckDuckGo search engine copy/paste this in and get the this titled paper which is a pdf direct download. The Influence of Bacteriophage on Streptococcus pyogenes BY W. R. MAXTED ...probably second one down.

Yes! Erect vacuum tents over the work site, with the workers suitably attired, problem solved.

You need to just consider the surface, which is 2D. Everywhere is the centre in this model.

Well, they aren't hard-wired to behave that way, in the main, and where's most of the food? The Artic isn't exactly the Isle of Plenty. Your scepticism is without substance. You are clearly religiously entrenched in your viewpoint.

They need the sea-borne ice to get to the fish and seals. If the ice gaps are too big, they will drown trying to swim across them. Sea Ice + Holes = Food. Rather difficult to do that on land, is it not?
