Symptoms won't show up immediately.

Month long quarantines would be the only certain way.

Any chance they paid you at a reduced rate during your trial period?

I really don't find it so. There is research out there in support. Main issue is the omnipresent background level. Difficult to research without ensuring a ton of controls.

We're not talking about the higher levels produced via nuclear reactions, but instead people ending up at levels lower than background. Was a realistic concern when I was still serving aboard a submarine.

Just so long as you don't mind spending more energy making the hydrogen and are a really careful driver. Though I'm sure no mode of transportation reliant on hydrogen gas has ever suffered any issues.

Yeah, I'm sure there is a sound psychological reason. If you take a look at some of the cloudcuckoolander pages out there you'll see the same sort of thing taken to an extreme.

If you can't work out who is being quoted it suggests to me that you haven't read the thread well enough to comment soundly on it anyway.

Well, it is fairly easy to search the thread. Granted you don't want to have to do that for every other line, but it isn't impossible. It is the misspelled names and whatnot that pose a problem. Easy thing to perceive as an insult to yourself or others, whether or not it was deliberate.

ie.

Joan Cuthbur

quoted it suggests to me that you

That kind of craziness.

Probably should mention I don't find the original "quotes" to be a problem at all. It is when the page is an eyesore and the names are messed up.

 

Sorry, I meant multiple-part quote, i.e. breaking one quote up and responding to individual parts. It used to work just by hitting enter twice and the system would break the quote up. I've not seen it work with the latest "upgrade"

Must have been changed at some point. All I've seen it ever do is allow you to store quotes from different posts and reply to them both at once.

ie. Hit MultiQuote for one post, hit MultiQuote for a second post, Click "Reply to 2 quoted post(s)".

I generally do Quote button by default so people know whom I'm responding to, then individual sections quoted following that(either via Quote button or copy/paste wrapped in quote tags). Sometimes switching to @OP: or @Bob: if I need to direct my response.

At least we're talking as a group about this, nice to see.

I recently had the same thing with a forgotten Leyden jar. Thought I had something growing in it at first.

That kind of thing is understandable though. For those cases you can tell they at least made an effort or they have a valid reason.

I don't know. It is just annoying to see repeatedly and I don't like knowing that my own temper(and others) is going to get in the way of good discussion. In theory we should all be able to respond rationally regardless but this isn't realistic. We're going to end up annoyed by names being misspelled or text being hard to read.

Would it be possible to add a rule requiring the usage of the quote function?

Mostly concerned with ensuring proper and accurate attribution of previous remarks. Goes a long ways toward discussion clarity.

Obviously there may be software out there unable to support it and the occasional mishap in the coding, but at least an effort would have been made.

At least as photographed it looks cool, just a bit more practical unless acid blooded Aliens are an occupational hazard.

The US Army (supposedly) has a version, but I don't think they ever considered making it fly. Looks like a lot of hype, but recruitment probably went up when they announced they were designing one.

There probably is going to be some version coming out(though nowhere near Iron Man levels). Weight levels have gotten ridiculous as of late and we're reaching the limits of what purely human bodies can support for long periods(especially with modern physical fitness levels).

I've been hearing about versions for use in industrial environments as well. Should be interesting to see how the technology develops.

The sky is blue due to our atmosphere scattering the light.

Us not hitting the Sun has nothing to do with charge and everything to do with our velocity. How do you think satellites orbit? Same concept.

It can be. Vitamin D production and to stimulate your immune system.

Ramps would not have been that hard to work with. All you would need to do is walk down using a basic pulley to translate the force. Set it up in stages so you minimize the risk of a runaway block injuring/killing people. Could have been made functionally similar to a modern conveyor belt.

In strictly geological terms can you provide evidence for geysers with the needed output?

Also if they lifted the water again, then we are back to using muscle power. They could have filled buckets with sand just as well as water for that matter.

If it was any distance then you are also talking about aqueducts to move the water along and we would see evidence of them as well especially since there is more than the one construction site to consider.

Side note: We really can't rely on personal interpretations of ancient text. Humans are terrible about seeing what they want to see.

I think it is the Large Milkweed bug.

There is also a Milkweed Mimic Assassin Bug out there(whose search got me looking for what it was mimicking).

edit:

Boxelder bug can have a similar appearance as well.

and Corizus hyoscyami actually look even more like the photo. There are way too many bugs out there dressing up for Halloween.

What temperature are you cooling the air down to and which gas are you planning to liquify?

How, did I miss this... oh, that date. When I appeared in a hospital room and we celebrate my appearance annually, that explains it.

I understand Helium 3 can be extracted from the Lunar regolith. Could this ever be an economically viable reason to set up processing plants on the moon?

We need fusion power to work first. Then we can discuss economics of mining and shipping.

According to Google, the definition of cyberpunk is:
a lawless subculture of an oppressive society dominated by computer technology.
This sounds to me like almost every chat website (think 4chan). The Future may have been fulfilled, at least, in that regard.
The futuristic ideals that the starter grew up with were looking in the wrong direction- away from computing technology. Most people didn't think that it would be used for much more than scientific and business calculations, and see now how much it has changed our lives.

Da. Is getting there.

They would need some means of getting the water higher than the height to which they desired to move the blocks to.

A geyser would be a very very slow method. Honestly I could see a suggestion of pumps or aqueducts as being far more plausible.

Honestly, considering they obtained the wood for the boats and mortar, I can't see why they wouldn't have employed it as necessary in combination with sledges and lubrication. Maybe even use a simple carved stone pulley(fixed to ground) in the process. Would allow you to utilize gravity instead of fighting against it and make the work safer as well.

I know personally I tend to ignore longer threads unless I see that someone besides OP has posted. Either OP is talking to themselves or they are engaged in a rapid fire discussion.

Obviously there are exceptions, those threads where the thread starter is presenting ongoing research(located well outside of Speculations).

Has anyone ever come across any studies as to the impact the 6-sided die's introduction had on preexisting games and/or cultures?

Became curious after looking into Senet with its uneven probability distribution(throwing sticks).

I could see a discussion of possibilities(ball lightning and thermal inversion mirages) spring to mind, but jumping to living plasma is a bit much.

Without applying the scientific method all you have is literally speculation and you cannot advance beyond that point. Someone else can speculate otherwise and the two or more speculations cancel each other out as neither is backed by facts.

Artificial hibernation would be the best bet if you want to survive the process.

Replacing blood can work but only for a couple days max right now(last I read has been awhile). Mitochondria going haywire and physical cell damage are the main hurdles that need to be overcome. There's some forms of sugars that can limit cell damage but there is no real understanding on possible side effects at present.

Well, I was somewhat sarcastically referring to the Liver and Liver transplants, though there are other examples of human regeneration out there.

What you are describing in terms of your senses is normal for individuals with Synethesia. Everyone else still mentally integrates their senses into a narrative, the senses just don't bleed into each other(though even for the majority there are exceptions to this).

You probably can't reduce your heart rate below a minimum level. A good bit is automatic to try and avoid your thoughts endangering yourself. It is also possible to simply focus/direct your thoughts and control your heart rate that way. Calling forth calm in stressful situations or summoning forth strong emotion to make people respond, is probably one of the best skills you can have.

I like to think that everyone has something unique about themselves. Don't want to harp on differences too much though.

Theory has a different meaning in Science and I've seen several new hypotheses in just the last couple days. You will need to be more specific.

We are a fairly faulty system from an engineering design standpoint(much of what can kill you could have been easily prevented were we "designed"). My hope is that the Flying Spaghetti Monster merely set things into general motion which absolves Him of any subsequent design flaws.

We should engineer one of our organs to continually regenerate, that way we could give pieces of it away to those in need.
