  1. With McConnell saying he thinks he's guilty of provoking insurrection may mean there is sufficient support to prevent Trump ever taking public office again.Let us note that it is only some of the actors of this current Republican administration that caused the problems. Any ruling party needs an effective opposition as a counterweight, or ahead lies tyranny... and that includes the Democrats.
  2. Could it be anything to do with the eustachian tube that runs from the mouth to inner ear to equalise pressure. You altering your breathing and holding your breathe will alter the internal pressure. Also, hardened ear wax.
  3. Yes, this is the kind of rationale that properly answers your question. +1
  4. It never stopped me. As you've seen in that image, microwaves are so far away from uv in energy terms, and that's where the danger starts.
  5. iNow, the obvious response is going to be a negative one, is it not. This is how already-polarising discussions fall apart into acrimony.
  6. Look at this EM chart: Wifi. and mobile wavelengths are around 3metres long and the lowest level of ionizing radiation is just into the uv range many, many times shorter. Look where visible light is, I don't think that causes ionizing radiation, so how can microwaves cause the purported issues if ionization starts and increases to the right of the uv segment?
  7. You have to be wary of researchers that persistently seem to point to one view, across several papers, because, ultimately, a researcher shouldn't care about the outcome, only that it was done with integrity towards the scientific method. When you read unbiased scientific papers they are usually very measured in their comments with a healthy dose of uncertainty in their conclusions. I feel he has an agenda.
  8. I'll go along with that, but doing it is another matter because both sides of the legal teams have an interest in supporting their client.
  9. You are arguing that the content of his assertion is not true? I can't support that his quote is exactly correct verbatim but the general assertion is, I think... if my memory is to be trusted.
  10. That is a perfectly reasonable expectation. It's not about faith, a case is about evidence...essentially, both the complainant and defendant are under scrutiny. There's no way, I can see, of escaping it, unless one of them capitulates their position.
  11. I find it offensive too, that the law is expected by some here to pre-favour the testimony of one over the other. That's not how justice works, which is to treat people equal under the law, until the jury decides who is telling the truth.
  12. This may have been his interpretation of what was said, but it was said in a way that made one think that. I also remember this conversation didn't go well....
  13. Yes, he conceived the CC to solve his own mathematical issue and abandoned it, but I think it was later found to be needed to solve another problem.
  14. AFAIK the CC was his way of preserving a static universe model, which he was comitted to at the time. His blunder was hanging on to his belief, contrary to the evidence: Hubble's work..
  15. We have actually had this conversation, maybe last year, about when the MeToo thing was kicking off.
  16. Can you reduce the uploading amount to the other peers? It sounds like excessive demand on your system trying service too many requests at once. Like Windows Update in its current guise downloads the update files whilst supplying your files to other PC's... it can create too much traffic for the system's specs.
  17. What 'unstable nothing' refers to is entities, like virtual particles, which individually have energies that are less than a quantum. For any entity to exist permanently it must at least have a quantum of energy. Sometimes, virtual particles interact and combine to have enough energy to exist, but only for a very brief time before annhilating back to the state where they aren't measurable i.e they effectively don''t exist... that is the 'nothing' part, and the fact that they pop in and out is the 'unstable' part. So, there is a quasi-state between nothing and something. That is the vacuum field or foam, depending on which theory one is using.
  18. Here's a link for the direct download of it's user manual: PDF
  19. No, the chances of matter orientating again to the configuration that is you is zilch.
  20. A case for a secret ballot in impeachment proceedings, maybe?
  21. If anything, it will be heat if you drain the battery a lot, amplified by being in a constricted spot next to ones testicles. Shoving a freshly cooked baked potato in your trousers pocket will have the same effect.... only quicker!
  22. Let's face it, they don't want to pay taxes; witness the myriad , labrynthine shell companies on offshore 'tax-friendly' islands that rich individuals and companies put together.
  23. "Trickle-down economics" should be consigned to the Reagan-Thatcher era... and left there. Billionaires didn't get rich by being generous and fair.
