Just Chat! / Re: What are you doing in quarantine?

I am learning different types of recipes by watching YouTube videos and also trying them.

Somehow i always knew it was going to make a comeback...pfft!

This has started to feel like a Seasonal Never Ending Curse!

If Only Humans could keep aside Conspiracy Theories & use their Brains! & Get Vaccinated!

Any sound advice is taken up as an attack on personal freedom & liberty & bodily rights.

Who has Rights to make Others fall Sick?
Who has Freedom to infect the most vulnerable & end them?

Hello & Welcome!

Did your future employer Not specify a way of doing that?

Isn't that a bit absurd?

Ps - It will all start to make sense if a Random User comes up with a Spammy solution.

They told me to take a test, but they didn't tell me which one. As far as I have heard, the tests differ from each other and show different results. So I decided to ask your opinion on this

Well then imho...
Don't join in with them.

If the Organisation is soo poor in management, & lack basic referential skills, i cannot imagine any positive growth value or future benefits.

Ps - Or Maybe...it's a Trick!
Maybe they wish to judge your level of honesty & straightforwardness.
Perhaps Alan already saw that one coming, so Simply follow his Recommendations.
👍
All the Best!

Physiology & Medicine / Re: Do memories exist after death?

aren't Seeds just a bundle of memories?

Seeds are mainly food.

You certainly aren't interested in the Art of Gardening, are You?

It's quite pleasant you know.
Helps to keep oneself calm & composed & in rhythm with nature.

Ps - Try it!

" In short, what could stop a Super A.I. from being a Leader, Judge & Cop? "

I find the above query very oddly satisfying.
It provides Hope of a much better future.

I tend not to slap mosquitoes to death.
I use other non lethal evasive measures.
Body creams & tightly closed windows & high rpm fans & a bed net.
I read somewhere that, it's only the female mosquitoes that bite, and they might be pregnant.
It's not the feminism factor, but the baby thing.

I have a generalized suggestion...
Just like Philosophy & Religion..
Even Politics should be sidelined and discouraged on the forum.
Nothing good ever comes out of it, except for useless quarrels.

Ps - Philosophy is Questions that may Never be Answered.
Religion is Answers that may Never be Questioned.
Politics is a Huge pile of BS!

Hello John!
Welcome to the TNS Forum.

WooW!
I had never before heard about Hazel dormice or coppice.
(Thanks.)

I'd have to read up a bit before saying anything.
So off i go now.

Ps - Aww...Dormice are pretty darn cute eh!

Shhushh!

Whatever happens inside Mod Room, stays inside Mod Room.

Thanks You All for All your responses.

I kinda get it now.
CO2 increase affects certain species in a negative way.
Also with the incredible rate of increase, most species might not be able to adapt or respond so quickly.

Ps - I feel Humanity will lose this battle.
A consensus of 80% scientists, or 90% or even 97% is No Match infront of 100% hypocritically manipulative politicians.

Also, there are Other alternatives & options available (vs) μSoft.

« on: 17/11/2021 19:23:11 »

Reverting back to the OP...
I believe Mutations are a Major Concern.

I also believe that this ain't gonna end soon.
I do not know how the Spanish Flu faded out.

Thou I'm aware it did not originate in Spain, it's just that Spaniards were pretty Transparent and did not hide facts, hence that reference got stuck.

Ps - PP i hope ur eye is good now.
Be calm n just swallow the red pill.

If Artificial General Intelligence ever reaches Singularity...

Could then Humans leave the roles of Creating Social Laws, Upholding the Constitutional Values & seeing to it that they are being followed...

In short, could a Super A.I. then be a Leader, Judge & Cop?

Or would even AI learn the magic trick of corruption & start accepting rabbity bribes?

The color of my eyes, my skin tone & possibly the nose that sits on my face...All bear resemblance to my Ancestors.

Can these things be also classified as Memory?

Ps - i know I'm going astray, this OP isn't about Genetics, but aren't Seeds just a bundle of memories?

Scientists are taught to follow critical thinking & logical reasoning & appreciating evidental facts.

So...what are Politicians taught?

I'm not aware of the contents or syllabus of Political Science.

Are they taught how to look someone into the eye, & lie without a blink, straight in their face?

Ps - Politicians & Diapers should be changed on a Regular basis, apparently for similar reasons.

Hello & Welcome to the TNS Forum!

There is an OP currently in discussion with a somewhat similar topic/subject to the one you wish to enquire about.

Here is the Link :
https://www.thenakedscientists.com/forum/index.php?topic=83501.0
Hope it will help.

Ps - It's also the Question Of The Week, hence would be answered by Subject Matter Experts.
Which is mostly like a treat of sorts.
Okay Enjoy & have Fun!

Question of the Week / Re: QotW - 21.11.08 - Does space traffic control exist?

« on: 16/11/2021 21:30:06 »

There has been at least one successful mission to destroy a dead satellite, but at orbital speeds I guess that microscopic shrapnel can be as worrying as a single big lump that you can see on radar.

Hi Sally...Hey Matt!

I should have taken Note of this before.
Don't know how i missed out on this Hint.
My Bad!

" The US has condemned Russia for conducting a "dangerous and irresponsible" missile test that it says endangered the crew aboard the International Space Station (ISS). "

Source - https://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-59299101

Ps - I'm getting a bit tired lately of making contradictory statements.
Not that I'm doing it purposely, but it somehow feels like The Whole Universe has conspired against Mee & is now out to get me.

UNOOSA...STM...IAA...Futile!
This World only looks orderly from the outside, but inside it's really quite chaotic.

EDIT - To be Fair, Even India & China have conducted similar tests in the past, which have been deemed Irresponsibly Negligent Behaviour.
America has also conducted testing, but with Caution.

General Science / Re: Can Medicine solve Global Warming?

« on: 16/11/2021 21:19:58 »

Hi DJ!

I have a Negative comment to make, possibly Evil of sorts...

Re: Can Medicine solve Global Warming?

Possibly Yes!
By disappearing for awhile.
By letting a huge chunk of mass of people to be left out vulnerable to diseases & eventually succumb.

Yes i know, very negative & pure Evil suggestion.
But if all parents around the Globe had a choice between surviving for an extra 50 years, or having their kids thrive in abundance for next 100 years...what would they choose to do?

Ps - Covid19 is a Curse for Humans, & a blessing in disguise for Other Species.

Hi again Kartazion.

I suppose your Model is quite ready to be shared & distributed within subject matter experts.

Well Done!

You do not have to be worried much about " Patents ".

You posted your hard work in here.
These posts would bear resemblance of proof of your ownership.
Unless, someone, somewhere else already has all of this Figured Out.

So, all the best for your future endeavours.
Just take all printouts, & storm to your nearest University.
Amaze them all.

It would be a Pleasure to see your work being cited & published & receiving World wide recognition.

(Hoping you won't forget all of ours tiny micro contributions.)

Ps - Sorry H
😇
