  1. What cat, what box???
  2. Thanks for the advice guy's +1's all round.
  3. More often than not, we are paralyzed because of our fear of it; in this case, we fear that any unilateral actions will make that guy more comfortable than us, or a future that is less comfortable than now, for us. Indeed, but it's also profoundly difficult to answer; our bias always gets in the way. A scientist can reduce, sometimes to zero, the effect of bias in themselves, but never in other's. The parable of the fisherman, explains the problem (for me at least).
  4. Thanks, but I was hoping for a lower price... 🙏
  5. And who decides the quality? It's always a question of number's...
  6. My goal is, a good enough internet connection, in my caravan; I suspect the answer is hardwired...
  7. Who doesn't feel better when validated? 🤔 I'm so proud of the number of "lil green one's" I got, and humbly suggest, it should be more...
  8. The problem: I'm moving to a caravan at the end of the 260m garden. I have a desktop, running windows 10 and not wifi capable. The house wifi can't reach the bottom of the garden. Can anyone suggest the most cost effective way to connect with the house internet connection, with the minimum effect on bandwidth.
  9. To paraphrase Greta 'how dare we procrastinate with our children's future'. While we can't predict our future, we can at least mediate potential harm; but we can only do that today, tomorrow is always too late. Sort of... Nothing ever really happens today, well, at least it seems like that; but whatever nothing that does happen, will build tomorrow.
  10. My duty of care is my lifetime first, which, at some point becomes their lifetime first, but that point can only be today; where-ever we find ourselves in Maslows pyramid's. How many year's = tomorrow?
  11. Why? What have you got to hide... 🤔
  12. He means, what do you want to talk about, specifically; IOW which part of your "paper" do you want to discuss? 😉
  13. How would you test for this affect, surely scales would experience the same effect. Edit cross posted with studiot.
  14. Where's me lil green one?
  15. I'm a rare case, a tramp with an internet connection; I've had a lot of time to think and sharpen my thoughts with other's... "How far beyond?" Is a question for other's...
  16. Because I can live today without affecting the climate and what I do today can effect, the other's; I can't know that it will, but I care that it might...
  17. Today, because if I don't live until tomorrow, how can I be of any use then; other than what I do today. I'm guessing you don't have children, well, at least, not one's you 'now' care about.
  18. There are three types of bias: 1, The bias we want to showcase to society, the bias we're proud of. 2, The bias we want to hide from society, the bias we're ashamed of. 3, The bias we want to ignore, the bias we hide from ourselves. How can you be sure? If you've never faced "the grim reaper" with both lives in the balance and he's asking you to choose. I'm not saying you wouldn't choose your only child; but what if you've got a daughter too? As deep as our honesty will allow.
  19. What makes you think a teacher has no bias?
  20. And we're back to bias; a bully ("normal person") has been taught that tough love is a kindness, at one end of the spectrum, while at the other, a bully ("sociopath") has been taught that tough is a way too win. A sociopath can also be taught that kindness is a way to win. There is no manual for how to be a good person, if one ignores a bible or two; but if we start with the premise that, we are all capable of good and bad, and it's the bad that deserves our pity; even when our bias demands retribution.
  21. So, is a bully born or taught?
  22. Well, you can't swim away...
  23. What's brain volume got to do with the price of eggs? We can't tell how clever we are compared to our parents, let alone great great/etc. grandparents... The aquatic one can/can't, depending on the fluid??? 🤔 The fact that your average human is more comfortable in a gaseous "fluid" environment, would suggest, to me at least, the aquatic one can't... 😉 We don't have to swim to catch fish...
  24. What makes you think that "a really evil person" can exist? The army of the righteously indignat think they're being ethical, by expressing thier moral supremacy. They're not evil, they've just been taught... wrong...
  25. Just for the record, I gave you that +1 🙂
