Yo, this is a appeal to not get banned by your favorite Mad Scientist, Vmedvil, I want out of this ban!

"Children are strong and powerful" - Trump "Putin was strong and powerful" - Trump The building is high and tall. The sky is up and water is wet.

what do you think about this issue?

hi, I feel myself at some stages still new. but Although all articles that I scanned contain "results" section with numeric analyses (e.g. manova's or other spss analyses), I do not know whether such types of analyses are mandatory or numeric or graphic representations. I mean only for theoretical articles. hımm yes,at a time I remember one article at a known journal presumably with no discussion and results (in fact the tongue was wholly speculative) but still unsure whether such telling methods can be acceptable by good journals.(here by "good" I mean wide IF and indexed databases, as much as possible) could someone show me articles with no numeric/anal…

I've put three people on my ignore list in the last 48 hours. Am I a bad person? Could I have done otherwise? --> Possibility for a merging with Free Will discussion Am I missing the fun of discussing non-sense? Am I giving others more than their fair share of gibberish to deal with? Does this thread belong in Ethics?

I already have Google and am hoping that their quantum division bets broken up into baby Googs like happened to ATT and the baby bells. So anyone have ideas about startup quantum players?

Just in case someone doesn't know what a tromba marina is (ok, nearly everybody should ignore that, as the instrument was abandoned before the baroque era): the bowed string instrument has a special bridge called guidon, just in equilibrium so one foot hits the soundboard at each vibration cycle to produce a loud strident sound resembling a trumpet. Tromba_marina and Schnarrsteg on Wiki Being a historic curiosity, it's mostly played by people who invested little time to learn it without a professor, but here's one good audio record. Yes, that's a string instrument. wlBolbo24Rc on Youtube. Enjoy this rare sound!

Dear friends of music, arts, and all inquiring minds! Here's a nice web address to hear a celesta https://www.celesta-schiedmayer.de/en/celesta/celesta-audio-samples/ at the website of one manufacturer - there aren't so many. Also pictures and explanations there. In short, the celesta has a keyboard and hammers like a piano to strike high-pitched metal bars placed over tuned air resonators. Many symphony orchestras have one, but it's not very common. One other manufacturer http://www.glockenspiel-lippert.de/celesta.html and Wiki claims Yamaha produces some too. A third-dozen more companies have existed, including the inventor's one, Mustel. Some instruments subsist,…

Or is it primarily online?

Quite a bit is pretty fanciful from a scientific perspective, but is an extremely well done production. The setting is a fair sized city set inside of a large martian dome. Heavily modified assets and ridiculous level of detail really make the city come to life. The actual build aspects may not be everyone's cup of tea, but I've found it easy enough to skip past when things become too dry.

The baritone oboe, also called bass oboe, is a tenor, playing an octave lower the oboe's written range - I suppose it could extend more the upper register. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bass_oboe While the instrument is rather common in museums, and several luthiers announce it in their catalogue, recent instruments and records are rare. One example here http://www.oboequartet.com/index.php?article_id=22 search for CD 1, click on Probehören, listen the solo from 0:05 to 0:13. Miriam Moser plays a tenor with bulb bell developed by Fossati and Rainer Egger. One other example, music from 1:48 to 1:54, from 2:32 to 2:46 and elsewhere https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4rU_…

Wagnertuben (lower horns essentially) were ordered by ol' Richard for his operas. Bruckner and a handful more composers used them too. They would deserve wider use: nice sound, range not covered by similar instruments, and (I believe) available in many symphonic orchestras. Anyway, here are opportunities to hear them clearly: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mmLRtqGOAJk only music https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hifo18bVG80 some waffle (in German) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j-4xZD6BX_w begins 4:50, with some waffle (in German) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MFm2C-ve7qw 0:00 to 1:40 with waffle (in German) and from 6:23

Hi, again. I'm kind of obsessive-compulsive linguistically. Plus I have a (small) problem. My question has to do with the grammatical splitting of English nouns into countable/uncountable, that has little to do with meaning. I understand most people take a stance much more utilitarian than mine. That really resonates with me. But, I've met problems with words like "input" or "advice" before. When you are under the obligation of teaching your students proper English, and you know they're going to be judged by the level of it, this trivial matter kind of crosses some line. "Input" and "advice" are uncountable. So, if you want to refer to one, let's say, instantiat…

are there numeric expressions to clarify the case? For instance if we assume that between 5000000-500000000 yearly watch target how much money will this bring as income?

Here is the basic definition in Wiki: "Junk food is unhealthful food that is high in calories from sugar or fat, with little dietary fiber, protein, vitamins, minerals, or other important forms of nutritional value.[1][2][3] Precise definitions vary by purpose and over time. Some high-protein foods, like meat prepared with saturated fat, may be considered junk food.[4] The term HFSS foods (high in fat, salt and sugar) is used synonymously.[5][6] Fast food and fast food restaurants are often equated with junk food, although fast foods cannot be categorically described as junk food.[7][8][9] Most junk food is highly processed food. Concerns about the negative…

I was reading papers on neutron flux traps. Some people in the University of Tehran used MCNP to determine effectiveness of different neutron moderators. Context out of the way, my question is regarding the situation. How did researchers paid by an organization like the University of Tehran get access to a software like MCNP?

The young soprillo, a tiny saxophone pitched in Bb an octave above the soprano, has only one manufacturer eppelsheim.com but quite a few musicians play it already.

If i think about it, i read on Quora: that after age 20, we lose 1 gram of brain mass per year. Given, maybe only hope to live forever: would be replacing some of neurons with artificial ones and slowly replace whole brain like this. Until your brain is slowly remade with artificial neurons. Because problem with transferring consciousness directly into a computer may be - that your brain dies and information is only copied. Than you would die and only your copy would live inside a computer! There is no proof information is immaterial and can be transferred like this. Going with former method, even so i think you would be just a copy of a copy. Here is why i think that: …

Why do people confuse Race vs. Ethnicity when they talk or post on the internet? Where the dictionary is really clear that ethnicity is shared cultural characteristics, like language, religion, fashion, way you dress, music, custom, food so on. Where race referring to physical characteristics on what the person looks like . where base on this article there is 30 human races in the world. https://blog.world-mysteries.com/science/how-many-major-races-are-there-in-the-world/ But way more ethnicity in the world.

Anyone have ideas for inventions that you know you will never bother to get a patent and try to promote? Here are a few ideas I have had. Please take them and run if you like. 1. Use "rubber finger tips" for flossing your teeth. In office supply stores they have little boxes of rubber finger tips for clerical workers or anyone to manipulate paper. The medium size are just right for me. For decades I have used rubber finger tips to wind the floss on my 2 index fingers. The most painful thing about flossing is the constriction of my index fingers. This can be made fun for kids by having rubber finger tips look like cartoon alligators. The kids will put lit…

Yes, you all heard a clarinet already. But there are many more than the Bb soprano and the Eb sopranino. ===== Ab piccolo clarinet It served in Italian military bands and is nearly extinct. Badly difficult to play, especially in tune, so here are better clarinettists: d-aqcHlSFEI duett with contrabass giSev7Vk_5w duett with octocontralto JN4OX-yefbY same musicians ===== Eb alto clarinet Presently not rare, the nice instrument got several concerti in the classical period. XE8Z3ZSQKvc - EaNh6RZsAsA - 3HiVA3IU5UA The related cor de basset is nearly extinct. Pitched in F rather than Eb, but it has added keys to reach notes written lower. Here a repr…

Hi all. Perhaps someone knows which brand/model/year automobile is factory fitted with a stainless steel muffler ? Volvo? Mercedes ? Trying to locate from a wreckyard, a 6" round one, similar to

Hello, I have over a decade of experience in electronics, embedded systems development and a number of other product development skills. I thought it might be a good idea to combine my skills with a need in an area of Science (e.g. Microbiology / Genetics / Chemistry... etc). Towards that end, I've tried now and then to email University professors in Bio / Chem. I've asked if they might have any concepts/ideas for novel, automated lab equipment that they would like to develop - and how i could help. Something that was not out there, something perhaps involving automation of existing processes/procedures, something not too crazy complicated and someth…

Or at least honing ones current scientific skill/knowledge? How would one go about this? NOTE: I am talking about non-pandemic or otherwise non-emergency situation.

I don't know if this is necessary, or of any use. I will just have to wait and see. My apologies go specially to Mordred and Markus Hanke, because they know far more than I do about GR, and they've let me play smarty-pants on their turf for a while. My fine instinct tells me I may've p*ssed them off. In case there were any hard feelings (although as I'm writing these lines I've found out that's not the case with Mordred at least) I was just checking both my own knowledge and theirs. If you check your knowledge or solid reason against wise people, you're on your way to understanding more and better. My grievances go to all those people (some OP's and their s…
