DNS error... ethernet connected, no internet :-(
Thanks. Following Sensei suggestion will take longer for me to digest. Will put good effort to understand it, even no Windows here. At the moment, this computer is working normal interacting with scienceforums; the tuner is showing live RAI (Italia) broadcast news but the Chromebook complains about DNS probe.failed.

DNS error... ethernet connected, no internet :-(
Greetings. The flag bearer of computer idiots again. Get the DNS probe error in a Chromebook. Before was also in the Linux machine. Power cycling all several times allowed me to enter the internet to post this. There is nothing Windows in my home. There is nothing wireless in my home. Have three ethernet wired devices to the gateway (modem?): A Linux computer; a Chromebook computer, a tuner that receives internet television from the whole planet. Most of the time all works well, but something gets the 'period' and I cannot solve what cannot understand. Reading related articles on the web; they assume everyone uses Windows+Chrome+Wifi and do not apply for me to attempt the fix. Any idiot-proof guidance to cure the misbehavior will be appreciated.

Storing heat...
Hi. Picture a bunch of solar panels on a roof to generate 3KW electricity. The purpose, to heat a dwelling, nothing else. No connection to mains, no inverter to supply appliances nor lighting. Just heat. Powering a heater during the daylight hours, warming the dwelling plus heating up something that will release warmth at night time. A water reservoir works well absorbing/releasing heat, but needs piping implemented toward radiators like in some very old houses. Barrels of rocks heated by electric elements can warm air passing trough them to release warm air at nights into existing HVAC ducts. What if the rocks are replaced by iron scrap, like engine blocks in barrels ? What convenient dry material would better retain heat per volume ?

Covid-19 vaccines thread
What are the requirements to receive the vaccine ? Do recipients need to not be infected or tested negative for the virus ? Do recipients need to not have antibodies for it ? Do recipients must be healthy or not hospitalized with other illnesses ? Is that depending on the vaccine manufacturer like each manufacturer having their rules ? Will a certificate be issued to the recipient as to allow travel ?

Covid-19 vaccines thread
Thanks for educating me. It smelled like it had to have a name. Then one single virion particle infecting a healthy person compared to a multitude of virions infecting another person. Repeating the previous post, then, Is the infection expected to be different in magnitude, requiering much less treatment, medications, and posing less death risks for the single virion exposure ? Or the single virion will self replicate/multiply to a certain count in order to take over the host ? If infection by one single virion is not lethal and can be treated/managed with much less fatality; and can be singled/separated (as by microscope) to inoculate a person, would that be a sort of vaccine ? Does the virion stops multiplying by some reason (like being a powerful enough force to kill now, no more needed🙄) in the infected person ?

Covid-19 vaccines thread
Good day to all... What is the proper word for a single 'cell', 'protein', 'virus', 'microbe', 'molecule', microorganism', 'nucleus', ... of the covid19 ? If one and only one single covid19 'protein' is placed in a healthy person; comparing the effects of someone else infected with hundreds or thousands from a 'massive sneeze' exposure. Is the infection expected to be different in magnitude, requiering much less treatment, medications, and posing less death risks for the single exposure ? Or the single virus 'protein' will self replicate/multiply to a certain count in order to take over the host ? If infection by one single virus count is not lethal and can be treated/managed with much less fatality; and can be singled/separated (as by microscope) to inoculate a person, would that be a sort of vaccine ? Does the virus stops multiplying by some reason (like being a powerful enough force to kill now, no more needed🙄) in the infected person ?

Hi. Thanks. From unbagging the items brought from the supermarket/pharmacy last shopping day, as an example. And you were very cautious of going shopping without the phone -yes, sure-🥴

Corona virus general questions mega thread
You just washed your hands again, and you feel like a good person doing it. Immediately you grab the phone on one hand and the tv control on the other, to stay on top of the chats and news as the confinement is too boring. Those items, with all the hand prints and mouth sprays exactly as before washing your hands. What good did washing the hands if everyone has no gonads to live without a phone on your face day and night asking when will this illness chapter end ? Then starting to complain that you ran out of masks and you need to go to the supermarket. The stupid all-disposable habit does not allow to wash or disinfect or dip in acetone, alcohol, whatever the masks, but keep asking when will this illness chapter end ? 😒

Corona virus general questions mega thread
Greetings, hoping it is a good healthy day for all. Quarantine and isolations appear not reflecting the number of reported new cases. The isolation should work; The quarantine not; because quarantine is a truncated isolation and 'discounted' to fourteen instead of forty days (if any works). The next day after quarantine has elapsed, a person is in the exact risk situation as before day one, if not more as surrounding infected population will be more. If an entire country gets rid successfully of the disease; a single infected person anywhere else in the planet can start it all over again. What are you planning for the moment you get infected, what will be your actions ? Been a pleasure to mingle with you all at ScienceForums BC -before Corona-

Good day again. A couple more... - What percentage of covir19 infections belongs to the age group of -say under ten years olds- ? if such is known. - Heard from a medical professional : "No need to test if you have influenza, you would hardly get Corona" Can someone explain ? That sent me way back to the years of Interferon...

Corona virus general questions mega thread
Good day to all. A couple more questions... Is it known if a patient that survives this new virus, remains immune to it or can contract it later again ? What happens to donor antibodies on a blood transfusion into the recipient patient ? Die, stay or start renewal/multiplication ?

Corona virus general questions mega thread
Thanks, Charon. Another stupid question... Assuming inventing the word "singlill" -or whatever you want- to refer to illnesses that are contracted only once; can persons who are cured from, or survive an "singlill" infection episode provide microbiologic basis or sample for a vaccine ? Like replication of chosen/picked antibodies by another host ?

Hi. Is there a proper term for the kind of illnesses that can be contracted only once as the body creates the correct antibody defenses ?

Corona virus general questions mega thread
Thanks, iNow. Depending on the interpretation of 'utensils' , sneezed-upon products arrived imported from China could complicate the entire global commerce and health with unexplainable origin 😒 That was a good link from an authority voice we should respect away from speculations and social nets.

Is it known if this virus is also disseminated by pets, clothing, utensils ?

Corona virus general questions mega thread
The original ancient quarantine was quaranta (40) days, not 14. No one knows the exact proven figures for the incubation of the new illnesses. Left to guess if it will work ? The ones you say are the major risk are the ones without detectable symptoms = the ones incubating for unknown lapses = Trojan horses = the ones being brought to the country ?

The corona virus spreading; there is no recommendation to prepare the body for a better chance to fight the illness. In lack of a vaccine, what medicines taken now have any chance of preventing/diminishing the roulette of contracting/getting infected from someone we come across ? The U.S. citizens overseas, with positive symptoms being transported risking spread of the illness, is that the right thing to do, to bring the infected to US soil for an unclear/unproven treatment ?

If I had a bitcoin...
If I had a bitcoin in a virtual wallet, and the restaurant accepts such 'currency'; how would the restaurant give me the change from buying a $3 hamburger from a bitcoin 'valued' at $15,000 ?

What are you listening to right now?
Listening to the first 4 yearly awarded songs from 1964 to 1974 at the Sanremo festival. Something very ignored in U.S. by most. Perhaps 0.01% of U.S. music followers know about. OK... samples: ----> ---->
