    Coronavirus and Living at Home (Isolated) General Info and Advice

    Isn't that kind of the same as saying the patient's existing conditions/illnesses just got worse? I mean what's the difference? If as a chronically ill person I was to get sicker tomorrow, it makes little difference to me whether my waning health is caused by coronavirus or the common cold. The...

    Coronavirus and Living at Home (Isolated) General Info and Advice

    And here's he BBC talking about the coronavirus as if it was directly responsible for the effects of a whole range of bacterial and viral infections in the human body:

    Coronavirus and Living at Home (Isolated) General Info and Advice

    (The one thing this video doesn't mention and it really should is that entering and staying in closed rooms/offices where many people breathe the same stale air also increases the risk of contracting the virus dramatically.) Many months later, I'm still struggling to wrap my head around this...

    The Moon (and Dinosaurs)

    Apparently dinosaur realism is a hot topic now. xD Fascinating article! :) xD True, but this is far from being the only example where people actively screw themselves over using their own imagination. And a teacher should know better than to teach facts from distant memory: they have...

    Testaments to Human Stupidity

    What's wrong with the theory of general relativity? It's another way to look at physics that has served people, including specialised scientists such as Stephen Hawking, really well. It's actually no further from the truth than standard physics -- just a different way to interpret and look at...

    The Moon (and Dinosaurs)

    Ala Planet of the Apes. :yes I like. Human beings generally have anywhere from 11 to 13 pairs of (22-26) ribs. That's the usual natural range. But in school, everyone is taught that people have 12 pairs of (24) ribs, without exception, and that this is the healthy/normal number -- to the point...

    Neurodiversity

    Steven Spielberg on his dyslexia, and growing up neurodivergent: I always wondered why George Lucas (who, ever since hearing him talk in an interview, I always felt was autistic by his thinking and speaking patterns) and Steven Spielberg were such close friends. Now it makes perfect sense...

    The Moon (and Dinosaurs)

    Talk of the devil, I just came across this video game in development! It's hilarious! :rofl :love Something like this, but with a little more realistic, detailed world interaction and natural balance is what I had in mind (as far as a video game goes).

    The Moon (and Dinosaurs)

    xD I don't know about you, but I'd actually love to see a film, or even a realistic animated film featuring a more true-to-life depiction of dinosaurs as larger prehistoric animals, many of whom share a common link with today's animals. It would make it no less dangerous to be, say, a human...

    The Moon (and Dinosaurs)

    While we wait for Pieter's answer to the question, guess how Hollywood makes dinosaur and other monster roars/sounds.

    Testaments to Human Stupidity

    Albert Einstein once famously said: "Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I am not yet completely sure about the universe." :p Here is one great testament to human social stupidity -- in the (lack of) origin and naming of "turkey" for the now well-known bird we eat...

    The Moon (and Dinosaurs)

    Here's a quick test(-ament) of human social deception and belief you may find interesting: How many (pairs of) ribs does a human being have? (Answer it by what you know from learning.)

    The Moon (and Dinosaurs)

    Also, dinosaurs were not all covered in scales and thick reptilian skin as we are used to seeing them portrayed. Most of them had the same kind of skin animals today have. There is evidence that suggests people may have misinterpreted dried-up bird-skin for scales in many of the finds that...

    The Moon (and Dinosaurs)

    By behaviour/movement? Closest to nature? :oops: Except that their appetite is never satisfied -- which effectively turns them into killing machines and monsters. Compare Jurassic Park's Velociraptors and T-Rex with a lion or tiger, and you get the picture. It's just as bad a representation as...

    The Moon (and Dinosaurs)

    The word "raptor" means "bird of prey" in Latin (or more specifically "thief"). Their skeletal structure has always suggested they were birds, from the very beginning. They were also a lot-lot smaller than depicted in Jurassic Park (about less than a third in size), which makes sense with their...
