I worked from home for 15 years and found it to be much more efficient than going into my office. The slower communication is a great benefit because people are forced to think before replying rather than just reacting. Tutoring students

One thing I don't see being taken into account in articles like this one is that the vaccines will not be 100% effective. The US FDA has set the bar at 50% effective. So even people who get the vaccine can still become infected. May

Arachnid robots would be ideal for household vacuum cleaners. Roomba's are useless if you have cables on the floor, lots of equipment and furniture, stairs that need vacuuming, roughly surfaced floors, or a variety of other conditions

So they think there is one specific animal path from bats to humans? It's already been shown that several types of animals can become infected, so why not multiple paths? I don't understand why they think it necessarily started

Most of the methods I see here involve a ritual used to change your mindset. A ritual can be anything, as long as it has to be done in a particular way. For example, taking a shower then changing the room lighting can be enough of a ritua

Perhaps SCiO's near infrared spectral analyzer could provide some info about fish? Possibly the species, maybe the freshness or adulteration. I think mine cost $400 many years ago, not sure if they are selling to consumers any more.

Audacity isn't really a DAW but you can indeed switch the track displays to show a spectrogram, though it takes a while to compute. You can get spectrogram plugins for DAW's also that will display a real time spectrogram. Master

One thing that could end this is someone hacking into the databases and changing scores. Say for all the US senators and a few CEO's and celebrities. It would basically prove that the scores are no longer trustworthy. Not that they

This is also why you see announcements of new "breakthroughs" and then nothing further ever happens. The experience is so unpleasant for many people (often compared to slavery) that they leave when they get their degree and never

If you removed all 100W of body heat you'd likely be dead after a while! A wearable cooling device doesn't have to remove all the heat your body generates, it just needs to remove enough to make you feel cooler, in addition to th
