    pc games

    Played Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri, never got into his other games though. Lately been alternating between a Minecraft world I've been working on and the very beta My Colony game.
  2. Yeah, lot of craziness surrounding this. Might be cystine crystals. People really need to get proper testing done though. Plenty of labs now. That would be much stronger evidence than pictures or shoving them in your doctor's face.
  3. Anyone can edit Wikipedia... The fibers at least have been found to have a human origin. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5072536/ Our normal cell function altered by a disease.
  4. Aren't there new less surrounding scanners coming out? Thought I read something. Robot skin would help solve the vice grip issue. You can also have semi-automation setups. A human on call who remotely assumes control.
  5. Probably want to look at lagging strand replication.
  6. EM field? Is there anything naturally occurring that might be attracted/repulsed by a large electromagnetic field like that of the high tension lines?
  7. Something similar has been thought of before(using the codons), but it is still interesting as an idea. Not sure proteins wouldn't be too long. Should note, "Junk DNA" was later found to have uses: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noncoding_DNA#Evidence_of_functionality Within reason, there's nothing saying we can't tack something on though.
  8. Yeah, think I recall seeing something. I think true negative mass will eventually be proven impossible. Interesting to ponder.
  9. There's a few areas that could probably use it in their fabric, not necessarily everyday clothing though. Thinking hotels, hospitals, maybe restaurants.
  10. Cancer and some diseases roughly do that. Keep apoptosis from proceeding to save themselves.
  11. Not clear what you are asking. There is necrosis when cell death happens in an unregulated fashion.
  12. Negative effective mass. https://journals.aps.org/prl/abstract/10.1103/PhysRevLett.118.155301
  13. Think you could make the case 'virgin' was only referring to the first birth. Whether she was in fact a virgin being a whole other can of worms. At least doesn't involve a swan, bull or 'golden shower'.
  14. If you're not a troll, crank or advertiser; you are welcome here. There are a couple ways content you freely post might be later used without your knowledge, but that's life these days.
  15. Sure, they work to lower the temperature something will freeze at(creating ice crystals). The trick is to find one that is also safe for us. https://www.sciencenews.org/article/natural-antifreeze-prevents-frogsicles http://www.nytimes.com/2010/01/19/science/19creatures.html?mcubz=1 Not sure why they used the term cryoprotectant, most people have at least a passing familiarity with antifreeze.
  16. Forced communism attempts really don't provide good examples(unsurprisingly). Most communities work out well enough though. Somewhat like a company you work in and are also a shareholder of.
  17. You can file a patent for things that may not be real. The potential seizure risk from strobe effects is well known and illegal to use maliciously in many locations. There are devices which could allow a crude, limited form of mind control, but these would all require surgery. There's no simple, unobtrusive method. Getting information out is a simpler matter and more realistic concern. You can't control and may not even be aware of your brain recognizing a rapidly shown password or image.
  18. What happens for things that straddle the fence? Lee's Arlington house comes to mind, sitting in the middle of Arlington national cemetery.
  19. OT: Nobody can tell you if the value will rise or fall. Best advice is to look at trends and the wider market. Do avoid letting others effectively hold your coins, generally where folks lose out. A site is 'hacked' or shutdown by the Feds and you're left hanging.
  20. Think it requires: mg=(mMG)/r^2 and ma = (mMG)/(r+300)^2 not 100% sure though. Generally doesn't seem like you have enough knowns from only the information provided.
  21. There's single stranded DNA viruses out there. Possibly holdovers, though evolution dropping a strand to reduce size is logical as well.
  22. I was reading it can cleave off the following tRNA. Some people do have a mutant form with a stop codon causing excercise exhaustion.
  23. We should go back to circular dna and call it a day.
  24. Not trained in this area specifically, but maybe a pipe or valve left open to the atmosphere on our imaginary oil rig and a pump left running on the shore. Be really hypothetical but somehow we manage to pull off crazy hypotheticals regularly. Weight of the pipe was the other big peice Swansont had covered. There's actually a buoyancy calculation for vessels that is similar, upward buoyancy force minus downward weight. I always like it when we are able to help people out. Sometimes teaching via questions feels like pulling teeth, but then there's times like this where it works wonders.
