  1. Typing 'run' in Search, then typing 'tmp.msc' will show you your pc's tmp status.
  2. Could it be impurities in the aqueous humour scintillating?
  3. It could be infinite. The 96blyr figure is just how far light can travel from out there to the earth before the universal expansion is too fast to reach us. This is what we call the 'observable universe'. We generally don't receive any information outside our observable sphere in any given moment, but the sphere does increase in size, so we gather more information eventually.
  4. This is the 21st century, what will be the state of logic circuitry in the future?
  5. I think probably, when it has sufficient complexity, such that it's operational behaviour is indistinguishable from 'wet' biology. I think 'sufficient' is the keyword, rather than it being a specific milestone in technology... when it gradually surpasses our human level at distinguishing a difference.
  6. So, if the myocarditis cases are screened out, does the drug get the blame for those found in the trial?
  7. How is it to be interpreted in drug trials when the incidence of a condition in a trial is less than in the population? For example, myocarditis in covid-19 vaccines. Someone brought this up elsewhere, and I wondered.
  8. Yummy.
  9. Your mention of TPM 2.0 lead me to query it and found this solution if you don't want to upgrade hardware. Goes into the whys and wherefores of this upgrade too. https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/microsoft/how-to-bypass-the-windows-11-tpm-20-requirement/
  10. Here's the list of Intel and AMD processors NOT supported in 11. My Celeron N2840 is not supported. https://allthings.how/list-of-all-intel-and-amd-processors-not-supported-by-windows-11/
  11. Yeah, the biggest liars in the world are fisherman. Oneupmanship is alive and well amongst UK anglers.
  12. Distilling fermented material for drinking carries a real risk of methanol poisoning if you aren't aware of how to deal with it. Make sure you familiarise yourself on the process of removal if you intend to consume your efforts. To could start you could learn about evaporation temperatures for liquids.
  13. That will probably have more teething problems than the usual major update. I myself will wait at least six months for issues to be fixed and consolidated in the first major update for windows 11. Curiosity wins sometimes though...
  14. OK, list the quantitative physiological parameters of each sex. That means the measurable elements of what encompasses and defines what each sex is. I think that gets to the heart of whether sex, as you seem to think it is, is compactly definable.
  15. You better archivally store your dvd players as well because in a decade, probably, they will start to take a back seat to streaming films. It'll go the way of my thousands of pounds of chemical photography gear that lives in my attic.
  16. It's not a sharp dichotomy. It's not male and female, it's a continuum: maleness to femaleness and vice versa. In the world of science, 'commonsense' is what it tries to avoid and is not a defence... it's a subjective position.
  17. Did you read my link. Nobody has ever consciously misrepresented their gender in high-level sport at the time of writing.
  18. Sorry, I was being a bit flippant. Just had coffee with a friend and, mentioning this subject to him, he has fixed assumptions about gender; one is born with it and your genitals tell you what you are. He is not scientifically-minded in anyway.
  19. What we going to do when disabled athletes have bionic limbs and they start thrashing the able-bodied.... reverse discrimination protests on the horizon? :D Rules of this nature can only ever be arbitrary.
  20. This paper on Intersex and the Olympics, I think, illuminates the difficulties with this subject, and these people are naturally in the grey zone gender-wise.
  21. That's ok.
  22. I thought we were discussing pathways to accommodating rather than banning.
  23. I see a parallel here with classifying levels and types of disabilities in sport and levelling the field. I'm not aware there is the same level of actual controversy though, as in Paralympics, for example.
  24. TBH, it comes across like a bot has put it together. I'm not saying it is, but it's difficult/impossible to make sense of it in a holistic way. Unless I'm being dense...
