  1. Hi. Evaluating to use ClamAV from a CD if possible, without installing. Is such thing possible ? How to download-burn a CD and use it perhaps once a month in my Ubuntu Linux machine. It may not make much sense; but that's always me. Found not much in the user manual for Clamav.
  2. What counts is to work. The only activity that can sustain people. If everyone in town wins a share of the lottery; would be a disaster. Everyone with money in their pockets, nobody wants to work for it. Where to buy bread, to have your vehicle repaired, to get cure from a doctor, to learn a profession, even to get buried ? The baker does not want to work because won the lottery, The mechanic does not want to work because won the lottery, The doctor does not want to work because won the lottery, The teacher does not want to work because won the lottery, The robot builder does not want to work because won the lottery, And zillion more activities part of our daily lives. And nobody in town can even celebrate the lottery won with a beer because the brewer has enough money after winning the lottery. Why work then? Now you know. It is not money. It is to have work.
  3. One way to survive can be to work at a factory that builds robots.
  4. Hi all. Aired today, minutes ago. Perhaps deserves a sub-forum here as "Technology news" Create if deserved for such topics, as there is a thread somewhere asking for adding other sub-forums. ----> https://www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/en/news/ataglance/449/ Edited... what is proper English for the title ? 'Assistance to blind' or as posted ?
  5. Hi. These single-hose 'portable' airconditioners... how can they cool any room at all ? The hot exhaust expels the heat from its condenser cooled by the room air cooled by the evaporator + the heat extracted from the room air by the evaporator + the building heat entering the room under the door and leaks + the compressor heat. Can someone explain ?
  6. This is new for me, dropped my jaw as never seen before. Enjoy ----> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QQMYpzbQIDA
  7. From what I learned, fiber is the non-nutritional part of foods that end taking part of the bulk of stools. With some seen emphasis on the importance of fiber intake; does it mean that poorly nutritional foods are also good to have ? How does it work ?
  8. Correct. I have 5 like that one. But the animal in question has the cross 12 that slides along 10 in direction A<---->B depending on the wind force to dynamically alter its shape :
  9. I enjoy MOM from US, and 'Somewhere street' on NHK.
  10. Thanks. 10 and 8s are joined at a cross 12; which puts them all at the same side. Another (reverse?) of the drawings shows dotted for all 8, 10, 12 Other kites of similar construction do have them as you say; 10 on convex, 8 on concave sides. Edited : Does dihedral (as described type of kite) implies the convex side faces the operator of the kite ? Which puts the spar members on the concave / far side ? (then, seen by operator like the photo on fan)
  11. Sorry to bring such simple minutia, but am confused. Got a kite for my daughter and cannot figure out how it goes together (no instructions) The drawing shows all the spars 8; 10 at the concave side ¿?. But there is two holes passing the strings 51, 51' trough the sail. Pictured hanged to my ceiling fan to show better, with bridles 47s ans 51s hanging. Element 37 not attached. Not shown spars are on the top side. The drawing source is ----> https://patents.google.com/patent/US4815681A/en as I saw such printed on the sail. How does it go ? Spars on convex or concave ?
  12. Ask the genius who wrote that instructions on how to prevent the 5000V to go to ground in short circuit. And you do not 'add' voltage, you apply voltage.
  13. It is all about insulation. For storage of large masses of water, A book I have suggests drums (a couple of dozens of them) to keep the warm water. Stones could be used too. Circulation pump then would be convenient...
  14. Hi Koti. This popped up, may be of interest ----> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3fnekWvlEp4
  15. Guessing around 2% more heat captured, but sanding mentioned to compare with the intention on applying fancy paint.
  16. I see not much opportunity as business selling the idea as anyone can do the coil for laughable amounts of $ compared t much smaller, probably less efficient and costly 'professional' methods from ripoffers. This 'sophisticated' much smaller unit adds a second ripoff for installation: ----> https://www.amazon.com/Duda-Solar-Collector-Evacuated-Certified/dp/B00HP846KK?ref_=fsclp_pl_dp_5 The pipe spiral has a shine from its extrusion at fabrication, which sand blasting/sanding can turn to matte to save on fancy paints. The flow can be in series or parallel to existing water heater with no added pump. For spas, pools, household usage. Get a quote for the aluminium container you describe and compare costs. Includes many unnecesarily elaborated methods with unrealistic massive amounts of copper and soldering : ----> https://duckduckgo.com/?q=pipe+coil+roof+water+heater&amp;t=canonical&amp;ia=images&amp;iax=images
  17. Hi. In real life efficiencywise, the contraption has to be shielded from cold wind to diminish heat losses. In cold climate real world, should be under a clear film or glass. In real world, this is much convenient dollarwise than an aluminium container. Paint the HDPE pipe even blacker if you prefer, but the blacker coating will not be as effective as protecting from wind, which this is not : And much gentler to any roof by spreading the weight in a large area. Low profile, and the volume the hose contains can be sustantial on larger pipes..
  18. Thanks, gentlemen. I sense the effects of two actions in your comments. The rifling in the barrel producing the initial torque, and the tiny grooves 'imprinted' on the bullet surface that interact with air during flight. Do both take part in the gyroscopic effect ? Are the markings on the bullet helical or straight ?
  19. The rifling grooves impart the torque that makes the spin for better trajectory of a bullet. Would the same be convenient to have for a projectile in outer space; -no air, no gravity- ? What if the projectile is spherical ?
  20. Hi. If a vehicle centre of mass is below the blue line that joins shafts; applying brakes makes the rear axle heavier and increases rear tire friction with pavement resulting in shorter stopping distance. Is that right ? If a vehicle centre of mass is above the blue line that joins shafts; applying brakes makes the rear axle lighter and decreases rear tire friction with pavement resulting in longer stopping distance. Is that right ?
  21. Thanks.. Well, perhaps I should ask any member here that uses such devices to try with only water and no glycerin nor flavors nor nicotine before venturing buying one. Any takers ?.
  22. Hi. Been to several vendor stores asking for an electronic cigarette that uses/works with only water to make the steam and got the weird look. Does it fail to comply with the capitalism of profiting from flavor fluids which would be zero with only water or there is some reason the devices cannot make pure steam ? I was not looking for flavors nor nicotine which I have no crave for. Seems to me that flavorless steam nearly fulfills the habit of inhaling the 'heavy/denser air' sensation of smoking. Been a light cigarette user and never noticed any 'high' from tobacco. Just the habit. Gives me nothing.
  23. Thanks, String Junky. Youtube has ----> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FTUIP5eg5Xk with the worst audio the Beatles ever performed (from the noisy public) and reason they stopped touring as far as I know. A couple of vendors show DVDs but unknown if it is the same 'footage'
  24. Hi all. I have the vinyl long play since forever, and on music CD, but now on doubts if a DVD exists of that show... Anyone has it / knows ?
  25. On the 'tilted' background portions of video images; are those clouds, terrain, other ? Does the video correspond to radar imaging or visual images ? As appeared on television news ----> https://abcnews.go.com/GMA/News/video/pilots-report-encounters-high-flying-objects-63315985
