I supervise soil remediation, which occasionally involves working in a liquid-proof coverall, with a hood, thick rubber gloves and a full face mask. I’ve had to literally pour a stream of sweat out of my boots. And I’m just standing there watching and writing, not actually doing physical labour.
And I still have to remind people to shower when changing. Even if you don’t care about killing yourself, I mean, come on.
The ads said they could tell if you were watching telly. I suspect they detected aerials, but that was in the days of Cathode Ray Tubes, and maybe you can detect them being on, I don’t know.
You can absolutely detect a CRT from outside. A CRT is basically a small particle accelerator with a magnetic deflection system, inside an unshielded plastic (or wooden, if you go back far enough) box. Of course, it will need to be turned on, just the presence of a TV doesn’t show up. It’s probably a fair bit harder to actually detect which house the signal comes from, but you can solve that with a big enough directional antenna. With analog TV, you might even be able to detect which channel they’re watching, based on the exact frequency, which makes it easy to tell a TV from a computer monitor too.
Basically, if you’re converting an analogue radio signal into a picture, you’re using that frequency. And any leaks would be detectable by another antenna. From that point, it’s “only” a matter a building the right antenna, aiming it correctly and filtering out the stuff that comes from other directions.
Spotting a flatscreen/LCD/TFT or really, any non-analog TV is probably a LOT harder, and distinguishing between a TV recieving a signal and computer monitor seems (to my lay skills) pretty much impossible.
As a reference manager? I just use sticky notes that I place on a second monitor.
I’m very upset the randomized control didn’t involve fake shells.
Participants received either intervention of shankh blowing or a sham procedure (deep breathing exercise) for 6 months.
Don’t think of it like that, think of it as 10% of your total blood plastic!
I wonder if doing plasma instead of whole blood is better or worse. Does microplastic stay behind or go back in?
They’re people who have no idea what an emotional attachment is, they’ve never had one. To them, women are for sex, decoration and menial labour.
Permian park, apparently
My neighbor told me Permian Fauna keeps eating his lawyers so I asked how many lawyers he has and he said he just goes to the law firm and gets a new lawyer afterwards so I said it sounds like he’s just feeding legal representation to Permian animals and then his daughter started clapping.
For Reviewer B to accidentally to misclick and lose all their notes.
It’s archaic euphemistic jargon, and that’s why you generally don’t see it used outside of the niche.
That’s what it’s called when it’s inhumane to let them live after an experiment.
Certain rats have incredibly elevated chances of growing tumors, for example. Letting them grow old is basically torture, so…
The point is, if you’re in the woods with a bear, you’re probably never going to see it. The bear will actively leave you be. The human… You don’t know. They could be actively seeking you out for the sole purpose of hurting you for fun.
There is a shockingly large number of feathers in even a small bird.
It will release whatever it holds, and grab your arm instead!
Also cooking before you eat matters a lot
Masochist here, you’re wrong
I haven’t seen an actual plotter in decades, they’re all just large format printers nowadays.
