IMO grammatical gender in Indo European languages (of which the Germanic and Romance language families are a part of) reflect how nouns and their references (pronouns, adjectives etc) are semantically linked by modifying the word endings of the latter to better reflect those of the original noun - I like to think of it as the equivalent of type suffixes in assembly language.
I mean, it's quite likely the ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine has some effect against the virus in the early stages of infection, but their use needs to be balanced against their side effects, of which there are many. It's like how bleach kills cancer cells, but you really shouldn't be treating cancer with it...
I mean, it's great that you personally believe something, but to make ethical medical decisions we need lots of clinical data. If your belief is well founded, which it damn well might be, the data should bear that out.
The data on the safety of Ivermectin is very well established.
It's well-known to be very safe with pretty minimal side effects and extremely low serious side effect rates despite the billions of doses handed out over the past decades.
The real question is about its anti-viral properties. We know they exist, but don't know why or to what extent. Further, we don't know if they extend to COVID and we don't now if the effective dosage is high enough to increase the rates of side effects (especially bad ones).
The result is extremists on both sides saying wild garbage. Either it's the salvation of mankind hidden from you by the grand conspiracy or it's toxic horse dewormer that will certainly kill anyone who even approaches it.
This is a real problem. If I were researching Ivermectin and COVID, I'd be scared that loonies from one side or the other might attempt to hurt me or ruin my life over their delusions.
We have lots of clinical data, their belief is well founded, and the data does bear that out. It's as if you commented without even skimming the Wikipedia article about ivermectin.
You're not wrong - the cornea (front of the eye) has about 3x the refractive power of the lens. Both function as converging lenses, and the only difference is that the refractive power of the lens can be changed.
It's the accommodation reflex [0] at work here - pupillary constriction goes hand in hand with a shortening of the focal length of the lens, and the eyes also converge together. This is a brainstem level response, so I doubt there'd be any easy way to dissociate these movements consciously.
It seems like they're describing a phenomenon where a material remains in a metastable configuration associated with a higher critical temperature, even after the pressure is removed and the sample warmed to room temperature.
That said, the Tc of this phase is still fairly low at about 30+ K, so this does not superconduct at room temperature, regardless of the pressure.
I'm leaning towards no at the moment - mainly because the hackers appear to be based in a different country, and because they appear to be brute forcing the WhatsApp verification code API. Also, his phone could still do outgoing calls when he tried it earlier.
He said that he got a ton of SMS verification messages from WhatsApp and random phone calls from Argentina, Mexico and the US over the past few days that he was ignoring - not sure how they managed to bypass rate limiting on that.
There are mods that let you extend the physics range, but they don't address the underlying issue of the KSP physics engine bring numerically unstable over long distances
