New Theories / Re: what is temperature?
« on: Yesterday at 12:51:13 »
Quote from: hamdani yusuf on Yesterday at 12:13:09
Which means that it doesn't always have negative temperature.
No
You have missed the point.
It's sad, but no surprise.
You just don't seem to have what it takes to understand this.
You should probably stop wasting time trying.
The process called "laser cooling" but that is a misnomer.
You don't need a laser to do it.
Using a laser is by far the most sensible way but, in principle you could use a different light source.

So laser cooling has nothing to do with the negative temperature in a laser.

Negative value can be assigned to a physical parameter if it negates or cancels out the positive value of the same physical parameter.
So what?

We know it's impossible without even needing to see the way you plan to do it.

Marine Science / Re: Can whales eat when they are in fresh water ?
« on: 07/08/2022 13:19:17 »
Fresh water is not a natural environment for (most) cetaceans.
Imagine you were drowning, and someone offered you a meal.
Would you eat?

The only sensible plan is to get the beluga back into the sea.

Quote from: OP
Warp Speed Pill
Why call it "Warp Speed"?
I presume it's by analogy with this
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Warp_Speed
But considering that the relevant pill has been round for over half a century, it just highlights the OP's lack of understanding.

Well done. That is the thread title. I am amazed people are so forgettable  even after the media has drummed into their skulls over the past 3 years.
Some people forget to check that there isn't a "period stopping pill" before complaining that there is no "period stopping pill".

"Operation warp speed" was a propaganda puff piece by Trump. and broadly deserves to be forgotten.
Speaking of forgetting things, please remember to answer this.

Numerous contraceptive pills have been proposed for both sexes which last 6 to 12 months. Sure you can google them.
It is your job to provide evidence.
Please do so.
Incidentally,  you said "pill" so we are not talking about depot injection products like depo provera.

Quote from: championoftruth on 04/08/2022 16:44:53
A single Pill that stops periods for at least 6 months or better still a year without intervention is the required standard desired.

Pick one or the other.
Seriously, show me any pill that works for 6 months.

Guest Book / Re: Ayurvedic Treatment for Back Pain
« on: 05/08/2022 10:48:34 »
Ayurvedic medicine is considered pseudoscientific because its premises are not based on science.[4][3] Both the lack of scientific soundness in the theoretical foundations of Ayurveda and the quality of research have been criticized.[4][110][111][112]

Although laboratory experiments suggest that some herbs and substances in Ayurveda might be developed into effective treatments, there is no evidence that any are effective in themselves.[113][114] There is no good evidence that Ayurvedic medicine is effective to treat or cure cancer in people

From
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ayurveda#Classification_and_efficacy

For most people on this site, Delhi is a long way to go for something that doesn't work.

Do you remember the biological urges?
Yes; and the thing you seem to not grasp is that, like most teenage boys, I didn't screw any women who weren't happy with the idea.

Well you said it.

'most'

Always outliers

It's a binomial distribution or a Maxwellian distribution
And it's the outliers that need "treating", not the women.

Just Chat! / Re: Do British pubs typically serve restaurant quality food?
« on: 04/08/2022 20:29:44 »
If you pick a slightly odd definition of "restaurant" all a pub needs to do is outperform Greggs.
I'm not saying there's anything wrong with them but they aren't really "haute cuisine".

You appear to be in the wrong forum. This is not the games forum.
Are you deliberately missing the point, or just... well missing it for some other reason?

Just speak plain english. I dont understand your convoluted phrases and metaphysical allusions
Were you joking  or did you really not understand the NPC comment?

That looks like too much work
Because it's just a matter of taking a pill each day, instead of 3 weeks on and 1 week off, it's actually less work than taking the pill "conventionally, which is a fairly commonly used medicine.

You?
Any actual women?
Quote from: championoftruth on 04/08/2022 16:44:53
It would also stop the huge waste of 15 billion sanitary pads every month.
Welcome to the 20th century; other options are available.

A famous survey said men think about sex every 7 seconds.
That survey is now used as an example of "how to do a bad survey".

It has.

Where?
OK, This is the bit where you make it utterly clear that you do not know what you are talking about.

The usual formulation for the contraceptive pill is 21 pills with active ingredients in - typically both a progestin and an oestrogen- and then 7 days without pills during which so called "withdrawal bleeding" occurs.
But if you keep taking the active pills that doesn't happen.

So, this "magical " pill you say should be invented at "warp speed" is "the pill" and  has been around for half a century.

Did it occur to you that you should ask a doctor, or at least a woman, about this before posting?
