Yep, he had valid points. And yes we do tend to still have issues with the scientific process, with p-hacking and published paper gatekeeping. Luckily in time, the truth is found and the boundaries pushed forward.

I think we will need to try both multiple times to get lots of data points.

Well said. The only thing I would like to add is that we do have to be careful of the unknowns as it has been way to often that we ignore the unknowns or medical research that contradicts established dogma and takes in ordinary efforts to try and convince the establishment on the merits of the...

Now to hop into my improbability drive and go check it out.

A dot? You'll have to try hard then that to not be liked. :) In the meantime here is some bees. View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=94b4qXWZHCo

Never thought we would pick up on gravitational lensing, it makes some of the galaxies look like they are in a kaleidoscope.

The thing is we don't how much respiratory droplets play in transmitting infection. While we know the virus can be found in droplets and studies on mice and hampsters have shown that lacking any physical contact the infection can spread but the rate of spread has been shown to be slower than...

It's more than not knowing where the jigsaw pieces should be placed as much as we don't know the scale of the piece either. Mask wearing while a part of the overall picture might be a small dot or a large part, we are lacking the knowledge to know the scale let alone where it belongs.

Can't wait to hear why some of the image seems to be blurred.

Reminds me of a mathematical problem. Jim always lies, Jim says all of his hats are blue. The assumption that either Jim has no hats or that some of his hats are not blue could be the possible correct answer when the truth is as you pointed out that if Jim did not have any hats then the...

Sometimes there is a fault in the drive which degrades its performance more rapidly than expected. While a secure erase might make it seem to regain the full drive I would recommend seeing if it's still covered by a warranty and if not still replace it.

Indeed I still struggle with the ethicalness of even using the data acquired from those studies. Part of me wonders if using the data encourages others to feel empowered to disregard the boundaries of what is right or the pursuit of expedited knowledge. And there is a part of me that says we...

Sorry I missed it in all the posts. Not intentional as I am glad for your and @Vavrik viewpoints and willingness to engage and discuss as I think it makes us all more informed and better for it. They glossed over that genetics, the health of the individual, and prior exposure to the same or...

I am in favor of taking a guess based on what we do know but would also like to make sure we are pursuing research into the area and adjusting procedures based upon what we know while recognizing the boundaries of our knowledge. Masks in of themselves are fine so long as we recognize that we...

Lol and here I have a 15-year-old dell keyboard I got for free from work. I have always wondered if I should upgrade it to something nicer but so far I have not really found any keyboard that is significantly better as I am not a fan of the clicky keyboards or the press feel of the flat keyboards.

Indeed. I guess that is the allure of games like SC and shows like Star Trek. While we might adventure to the inner planets one day I do not believe we will get very far until we can figure out other ways to travel.

I was simply using gloves as an illustration on the whole pre-op procedures implemented in an attempt to keep things as safe for the patient as possible. Masks, gloves, gowns, sterile trays, etc are all done in an attempt to keep infections out, while not always effective as there are lots of...

Sure sure. Truthfully we all just have a huge crush on Montoya.

I hear about exoplanets and it's always such a tease. I want to go and see these planets and touch their ground look up at the sky and see the alienness of it all.
