    No, it's where you're looking. Why can't you be happy looking where everybody else is looking?

    The tech isn't broken just because of a small minority of 'special' people like you don't know how to take in a scene. Why don't you stop being special and just watch it the way everybody else does?

    Ah, so you have no understanding of theoretical physics. Or the history of science for that matter! Or even worked in a modern lab. We really need to start teaching the difference between what we want science to be, and what it actually boils down to in reality.

    Sigh, looks like you're a nutter with just enough reading comprehension to make himself feel justified. No sense talking to you about science.

    btw, unlike crazy nutters like yourself I don't make the colour of peoples skin in the neighbourhood a deciding factor in anything. Though I have to admit, traveling through the states I felt a little uncomfortable being surrounded by so many big white USians.

    No, it's not regardless of where you look. It just so happens you aren't looking at the proper places and there's a reason for that.

    I used to have the same thing, until I learned that social norms have drishti just like yoga asanas.

    Sigh, i thought I was being safe, exposing myself to 3d reality only on my commute into and out of the city. Beware! Two hours of reality exposure a day is the gateway to wanting the shiny!!!

    BTW, usually you don't use a guillotine to kill animals unless you're a sadistic mother fucker. You use the guillotine to remove their head for easier access to the brain. Which you have carefully prepared by slowly killing the rat by slicing its diaphragm and injecting saline into its heart to flush all that pesky blood out.

    Yes, it would be disappointing if something said nanotechnology and nanomachines and all you got was nanoparticles. However, all it said was nanoparticles. Why would you expect anything else? More importantly, do we even need anything else? (btw, google around, there's already nanomotors that can be used inside human cells... though all they can do is bump into stuff)

  22. Re:Hmm, not really. on Switching From Sitting To Standing At Your Desk · · Score: 1
    Hard to say, depends on how the experiments were going. For example, if you stand on snow and melt it you're going to lose body temperature quickly, so it seems better not to melt the snow. However, if you melt the snow quickly enough and form a puddle the water will distribute heat equally resulting in no perception of cold. Also, below freezing it's a lot more comfortable and warm on top of snow than bare concrete.

    There's two key things here. Humans perceive hot & cold through differences in temperature and the human body, when on automatic pilot, usually defaults to worst-case-scenario.

    On perception of cold, the body panics and changes blood flow to keep heat in the core. This automatically makes you more easily damaged by the cold because now you have insufficient heat in your extremities and it 'feels' colder. It's a vicious cycle.

    That's on auto-pilot. If you don't let your body go in to panic mode, made easier by reducing temp differences between body parts, you'll find that the human body functions quite well in the cold. Learning to increase/decrease heat distribution in your body is key here along with being able to shut the machine up. It's one of the easiest body systems to access. Just requires a little simple visualization a la "my hand is getting hot/cold".
