My guess is it might be some way of mitigating long term degradation and part of a maintenance/longevity strategy. Excessive internal heat shortens Li-ion battery life, as an example, so, perhaps sequential use helps overall cooling.

I would say: The description of reality changes with each new scientific discovery and science adapts, but a religion's voice stays the same. Science describes how nature behaves and religion describes how to live. Creating what are actually pseudo-arguments between the two is not logically useful and intellectually futile. One approach describing the faults of the other is outside of their respective sphere of interests.

Why not just take the correction with grace and preserve the intent of your thread instead of potentially sending it off the rails?

I think it demonstrates the level of plasticity the nervous system is capable of to keep itself functioning.

I think a simple interpretation is one is a schematic construct of the other that contains sufficient details but no more than necessary.

It's a way of separating the naive from their money.

Whatever way you do it, the speakers need to be wired to their own amplifiers i.e made active, to drive the speaker units. They need current and a wireless signal. You would have wall sockets in the vicinity of each speaker. Google 'convert analog speaker to wireless active'. I've deliberately put the US version of 'analogue' because it will likely get more hits.

Sounds good to me. My error is not going back far enough when conditions were different.

It would be interesting to know how it evolved uvc resistance because afaik uvc doesn't reach the ground because it is too energetic and reacts with oxygen to form ozone high up in the atmosphere.

From the kids I know, they would be in a state of mortal grief if they were disconnected. That game 'Second Life' is a reality now, it seems, for a lot of people and they willingly give up their privacy, allowing companies to track them 365 days a year. Perfect for budding authoritarian regimes.

Chill out and learn how we converse. When in Rome... We mostly stick to the rules of the scientific method, but we aren't averse to bantering. The fact you put" "scientific" arguments" as you did suggests you aren't really into viewing things in an objective way and like to colour your thoughts with random, pulled out of your arse opinions. If you talk bollocks without references expect pushback. The first thing I do when I join a group is figure out peoples range and level. You might do the same.

I thought you were still there. Online, people aren't being subtle and the same with the politicians in many countries.

Do you think if the indications at the midterms are strongly indicate dictatorship, that would be the trigger for widespread civil disobedience/violence You can't bring dissenting words/demonstrations to a gunfight. This is a first afaict because America is/was a fully functioning democracy, which has been maliciously and systematically eroded by the likes of McConnell rigging the composition of the Supreme Court since Obama, and possibly before him.

Right.

At what point in this demolition will it be a fait accompli, and authoritarianism rules? What do you think will be the definitive action(s) that will send America irreversibly towards dictatorship?

My guess it's the powers that be in the Heritage Foundation up to no good and prepping the field for the execution of Project 2025.

Yep. His niece Mary Trump thinks he's just a political puppet, now that she thinks he's in cognitive decline. She's a clinical psychologist, I think.

Just seen on a social feed that the GOP has removed the above from the Congress website displaying the Constitution. https://constitution.congress.gov/search/article%201/searchfacet/Article_I///100/1/1 Why might that be?

He singed out black swan events and using those to be representative.

The pollution was their own body waste and the movement into cities from the countryside as a result of the later industrial revolution, concentrating populations, made it worse for a time, I think, until germ theory was a thing.

I don't think public or personal hygiene was a thing then. People used to throw body waste and household rubbish anywhere. Food was seasonal and a very narrow range to choose from.

Right.
