  1. A good quiz question cannot have non-ambiguous answers.
  2. There is a fairly inexpensive thing called an endoscope. You plug into a micro-USB and/or USB-C port on a smartphone or laptop. e.g. https://www.ebay.pl/itm/295610266250 You can record video and take photos of better quality than from a distance. Search the web for the phrase "USB endoscope led lights". Alternatively, you can connect your smartphone to the selfie stick and start recording video or take a photo from a distance with the button.. Extends up to 1 m-1.5 meters. Taking pictures in a dark place requires the use of a flash and/or an external light source to illuminate them.
  3. Wavelength of light of orange and blue photons? 😛
  4. I told you that a single website is built from dozens or hundreds of requests that are all over the world. You click on www.xyz.com, but it could be data from all continents. You have no control over that. The authors of these sites have no control over it. The Internet (WWW) does not exist without the ability to connect to any data via TCP/IP at the same cost as locally. The location of the server (and thus the distance to it) is irrelevant. You, as the customer, connect only to the nearest cell site (if you use 2G, 3G, 4G, 5G). The ISP (Internet Service Provider) does not have the ability to warn the user before making a long-distance connection to a server on the opposite side of the globe. You would have more warnings per second than you are able to read them all.. The whole idea is childish and stupid and only shows a lack of understanding of how things work.
  5. Did you mean that the Internet should not exist? That's what you say, but you use different words.
  6. Tritium is the fuel-to-be for future fusion reactors. The decay product of Tritium is Helium-3, which is also a fuel-to-be for future fusion reactors. But unlike Tritium it is stable. Even if it would not be used as a fusion fuel it can be used for the same purposes as Helium-4.
  7. Like: ..send them to Donald... 😛
  8. https://www.google.com/search?q=microwave+oven+and+heating+oil "Oils have a specific smoke point and heating them beyond their smoke point can result in losing the nutritional benefits of the food as well as the oil. Also oil does not heat easily inside a microwave, it is the container that gets heated first and heats the oils. Thus, it is best to avoid heating oils in a microwave." "Can you put oil in a microwave? Yes, you can microwave oil for a very short time. Oil does not contain any water, therefore the oil itself does not heat, but rather the container holding the liquid." ps. There are also conflicting threads on the web on this topic.. ps2. Do you have any microwave oven safe thermometer that you can put on the oil to check its temperature while "frying"...? You can create an Excel chart with time in one column and temperature in the other column. https://microwavemealprep.com/can-you-put-oil-in-microwave/
  9. I am always "shocked" when I see Gordon Ramsay use inaccurately peeled garlic.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VuSdvpevaw0&t=149s I use only properly peeled garlic. Why "or"? I often use both garlic and onion at the same time.. Fry the meat on one side, then as Gordon did in the tutorial above, add the garlic and onion, switch sides of the meat and fry them together. Tricks? Do not over fry?
  10. Science Forums servers are located in the UK.. From New York to London there is ~ 5600 km. ..you should pay for every single (silly) post on Science Forums.. ..every time you go to any random website, you have no idea where the servers are, and to which the website connects to, without your permission, are located.. they can collect data from all continents..
  11. Sensei replied to Skyscrapers's topic in Politics
    In the old days of telephony, more than 30 years ago, local (city/province) calls were cheaper than city-to-city, and cheaper than you-to-foreign-state calls.. The introduction of cell phones, modern information technology, has changed this seriously and reduced costs. If someone needs to hold a video conference call with someone on the other side of the globe, all they have to do is use VoIP, which goes over the normal Internet at no additional cost.
  12. First, you clearly have no clue how the Internet works. Second, you clearly have no clue how a wireless connection works. Third, you clearly have no clue how a cellphone connection works. WiFi has a maximum range of about max 150 meters (in an area free of buildings), usually the receiver is less than 20 meters from the device connected to it. My the maximum WiFi range was 100 meters just because I used special directional antenna. In the city, the mobile network cellsite is only a few hundred meters from the user. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_site This is a built-in "feature".. You have a connection up to a few hundred meters maximum (if you use WiFi, 2G, 3G, 4G, 5G).. People turn on lower power on their WiFi router to reduce the risk of long-distance intrusion by hackers. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wireless_router Your idea can be summed up simply: bizarre nonsense..
  13. Don't you have Tsars?
  14. @TheVat Don't feed the troll, you idiot.. ps. Today, I watched "Star Wars: Ahsoka"..
  15. I wrote app for smartphone to send light signals if you want to spread it to the entire Universe, so any alien spiece will be warned already.. 😛
  16. ..only one not lie sentence that I have read throughout this thread..
  17. ..let's not extrapolate too far.. (somebody on the street here called me "Jesus, the alcoholic" ) ps. My point was that Donald II has already been assigned.. therefor you made mistake in assignment of his title..
  18. HRM = His Royal Majesty? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_II_of_Scotland
  19. I would not like to advertise/recommend a device that I have not checked myself. Here in a relatively large city there is a lot of dust, light pollution etc. We are lucky to see 1% of what a person in the countryside a few dozen kilometers away sees. Ten+ years ago I bought a digital camera, and after the fact I noticed that it lacked a timelapse function (the device with the built-in function was twice as expensive as my device). This is an extremely useful thing for events that take a lot of time, such as astronomy. So I wrote a special app that sent 'take picture' commands to the device via a USB cable from my computer. I took nice timelapse transitions of the sun and moon in the sky during a trip across the sky over several hours. For real astronomy, you should have a device that tracks the rotation of the Earth during time-lapse sessions. Photons from a distant object are needed to get a good quality image, but the Earth is rotating, so if the camera/telescope is not rotating properly, the image will be blurred. There are special applications to 'de-blur' images taken by home astronomers.
  20. I would be looking for something that would allow me to plug in a USB cable and be able to record image..
  21. ..you know the name.. Anyway, any interference is not even necessary, on a truly overpopulated planet, people in capitalist countries will simply die because they will not be able to pay for water and food. Supply and demand and greed.
  22. This is the result of a choice made by the customer.. This is a result of too high salaries in Western countries.. In Africa and Asia, they repair "everything".. This is a result of too high salaries in Western countries.. ..and African or Asian workers dream to be you especially when they have 40-50 C.. ps. iPhone is not so affordable.. 😛
  23. "You can't step into the same river twice" is the layman's version of "the configuration of atoms/electrons changes all the time"..
  24. This is not a database. It is source code in Python..
