PCR tests dont give a yes or no.
they are actually more complicated

but to dumb it down for some obvious idiots

they cycle the sample 40 times max. yep i said it. and to emphasise it. only 40x max
and if its detectable at only 18-28 your declared as being infected with high load/infectious.. because they know the amount of viri needed to be infected is a certain level. if the substance needs to be cycled the full 40 times before detecting anything the person is classed as not infected
(37-40 is declared as suspicious and requires resampling the patient)

the lower the number the more virus you have. and as i say they dont bother after 40 times

so if you are below ~28 then you are infectious and more prone to get symptoms.. if your over~30 your less likely to have symptoms and less infectious and probably already in the recovery phase

they cant 100% use this test to detect if someone is going to get severe symptoms/die.
thre is some correlation of viral load vs symptoms.. but other things contribute to symptoms
this is because what usually kills people the most is the immune response to the virus. so although more virus can mean the immune system has to fight harder. the test does not indicate how hard the immune system is fighting nor know if the immune system will go into overkill

also being at 30+(les virus) does not mean your immune system cant get triggered/still go into overkill.

so a PCR test is just to detect you have the virus. and no they dont just spin it infinitely to tryto get a positive result


note to idiots. it only took me 2 minutes to get this info. it took me longer to summarise and dumb it down for you. so maybe spend less time on conspiracy sites and more time doing proper research. you can learn alot more and alot faster, if you bother to look
9982  Other / Politics & Society / Re: how protests SHOULD be done on: October 29, 2020, 11:36:34 AM
my point is even peaceful protests alone dont change laws. they are just street parties. they have about as much power as tailgate parties outside the stadium have power on actual football games.
people think the chanting affects the game. but really money and decisions on the pitch affect the game more
yea you get to see a bunch of people who are a fan of a certain team. but it doesnt change the score of the game

this lack of change can lead to frustration and then cause people think they are not being seen. and thus they decide to revolt and can cause trouble hoping it will get them some attention/notoriety.
much like football yobs/mobs

having gatherings/tailgate parties dont change whats happening inside senate/stadiums
government/footballers still function whether there are citizens/fans or not. fans just need to buy season tickets but are not required to turn up for football to continue
citizens just need to pay tax but are not required to vote/protest for government to continue

so what needs to be done is more then just gather/party/chant. you actually need to contract a government to change. which involves petitions and getting some congress/senate/presidential acknowledgement/pledge.. then hold them to it

so dont waste weeks just planning a gathering/party. spend them weeks gathering names of people that want change.


as for gyfts assumption that BLM is a violent group. no. BLM are a mass group of individuals with different levels of desire/peace-frustration/anger

when the angry members protest. they dont want peace they dont want petitions they just want criminal damage
when the peaceful members protest. they dont want anger, they dont want petitions they just want to party/gather
they both miss the point. unite and petition and get government to acknowledge and pledge for change

walking the streets peacefully or violently wont get governments to act
9983  Other / Politics & Society / Re: how protests SHOULD be done on: October 28, 2020, 04:37:40 AM
anyways .. protests..

peaceful protests dont result in law changes
riot dont either
but getting recognition that a law needs to change on paper. whereby its backed up by a reasonable amount of the community and has some recognition/support by local representatives gets less ignored

yes police reform/retraining/re supply more effective but less lethal equipment is something that america needs to address. but there are many other causes too. and the tips in the main post can all use those tips.
even things like bitcoin regulations/freedoms. just shouting in forums/streets wont change anything.

you dont need expensive lobby groups. you dont even need a suite and a seat in congress. you just have to be more organised on presenting your cause in a better way then just chanting in the streets

imagining it like a business. not having managers(leaders) thinking they own the company and that the employees need to obide by the managers fist/rule

instead have employee's know what to do to improve the 'business' and earn fair rewards for improving their life and thus the business(country) and the manages are there as support staff to help the employee's succeed.
where the managers only get paid/a bonus if the lives of employees and the business improve

employees vote on the repremand/punishment for certain things other employee's might do wrongly. where everything is employee centric. not manager centric

i dont mean communist/socialist. i mean a bottom-up capitalist/libertarian system that recognises that 99% of population should mean more then the 1%

imagine having a 4 year election of a leader and every 6 months a vote on what laws/punishment levels should be accepted
where people have more input into the workings of the leader and its not just a 4 year handshake to get a guy into a seat and then let them do as they please

to achieve this can be simple
re-arrange how the salary structure of the leaders pay is given. and allow easy regular voting of citizens. we are in 2020 after all not 1920. its not that hard

It looks like water molecules will be the gold dust that humanity will use to jump around the universe in future. Combined with nuclear power the opportunities of finding more water in space will vastly increase the possibility for long distance travel in future. It's pretty fascinating stuff and makes me wonder if there will be other living organisms contained within this water - as it is one of the core and most basic ingredients for life.

water molecules is just a fuel. for the space cargo ships that ship the real gold and other precious minerals from other moons/planets/asteroids back to earth

they hope between 2030-2050 to have space mining for precious metals up and running with payload capacity of 150tonnes per trip. imagine it 150tonnes of gold entering the economy each time a space cargo ship re enters earths orbit in ~20 years

bye bye gold prices
9987  Other / Politics & Society / Re: NASA to make major announcement about the moon on Monday on: October 27, 2020, 05:33:45 PM
what you will soon find inyour research is that they can actually measure substances below the surface.
yep satelites can actually see aquifers under the earths ground
speculators have already been using the tech to find gold/oil rich area's
ecologists have been looking at aquifer depletion over the last decade

this is why nasa said that the particles of h20 are not in any 'puddles' nor measures in square metres. but they found individual particles in cubic metres in measure that if drawn together is 12floz(under 360ml of volume) per cubic metre
if they were just talking about surface they would be suggesting metre square. not cubic

but anyways. the next hope is finding a process to 'frack' the area where they can crack the moonland and then using pressure of small amount of water to force the moons water particles to cohere to the mines source and accumilate.
like forcing particles to gasify, then turn to droplets to then turn to streams back to the mines main drill hole without losing anything to the moons atmosphere

they will be sending test drlils from now until 2022 and more before their next 'manned mission' in 2024. in the hope by the time they put peopl on the moon they would know forsure they can get to the water and acumilate it in a reasonable and efficient way for a viable mission and sustainability

elon will definetly make some good money being the taxi for these missions in the next 4 years
9988  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Why would anyone pay for Covid testing? on: October 27, 2020, 04:10:08 PM
in my country, in order to get on the train, we need a covid19 test...
The residents are actually forced to pay for the covid19 test so as not to obstruct activities during this outbreak, even though it is quite cheap, many are actually unwilling to pay for the covid19 test.

That's the trouble with all countries... even the USA. Is your body your own? Does the comb in your pocket belong to you? Is your car yours? Or do all these things belong to the State?

If my body is mine, and I don't want a Covid test,..., set up a train where all the people who don't want the test can ride without a test.

but the train is not yours. so if you want to aces someone elses property. then you have to follow their rules for which they will allow you access.

if you do not like those rules. then get your own car and make your own journey your own way. but be careful the roads do not belong to you. so be prepared for the rules of the road which you have to follow if you want granted access to the roads.

not whales.. exchanges

not exchanges but the whales

actually it is exchanges. you can sot it by seeing the richlist and were the funds are.
when exchanges have say 200k coins in one multisig. but then need to get a 'warm wallet' the take out say 20k and make several warm wallets.
later when the minnows(users) withdraw you see the 1-2k warm wallets then split down again into 100-500coin amounts

the wallets with 1k+ are still exchange wallets.

many large hoarders including myself would never dare throw all our hoard into a single address. just incase that privkey is lost/stolen its better and smarter to break it down into smaller amounts amungst several addresses where the privkeys are secured in separate locations.

anyway.. back to the point
having checked most of the main movers of hoards in the last week. it has been exchanges. thy have a certain pattern thats been known for years.
9990  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The number of Bitcoin whales hit an all-time high during the latest bull run on: October 27, 2020, 05:55:43 AM
At the opposite, it may come a day when all the bitcoin is held by few entities and become reserved to rich people/countries .

Surprise surprise, bitcoin can't(and isn't made to) solve economic equality in the first place, because no asset can. Ultimately it's mostly up to the people and their habits and decisions that's going to get them out of poverty, not necessarily bitcoin.
that is very true but at the same time nobody was preventing anybody from owning bitcoin when it was worth nothing and could be mined 50 at a time by just running your PC and using your CPU. again nobody was preventing them from buying it when it was worth practically nothing and you could buy lots of it with something like 10 bucks.

i bought in when it was $6 each and i held onto my hoard privately. so i se your point about that..
however..
the community has changed. the code has changed and now everything is now pushing people to hoard in custodial multisigs/LN vaults/exchange private keys

making it harder for individuals to make transactions personally but easier to lock funds up into corporate services for easy use via other networks/datastructures has become the new game of bitcoin. so its not the peoples fault if the code has made things more expensive to do independantly, by raising fee's and promoting corporates services to take the edge off the fee's.

the new fee structures implemented after 2013 and again in 2017 has ruled out utility of daily spending for people in developing countries. thus bitcoin lost its slogan of 'for the unbanked' with some countries minimum wage translating to $2 a day. and just 1tx fee being $2. some people just wont want to use a system that costs them a days wage just to make a transaction

so its not all down to peoples choice. its actually code. and code can be changed.. but developer politics is to blame for not making bitcoin more utility friendly.. not average joe people. because average joe cant convince devs to make things better. its been tried by thousands of people. but devs ignore community desires

9992  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Abra CEO's portfolio is 50% Bitcoin as cash is 'becoming worthless' on: October 27, 2020, 03:50:22 AM
big CEO's will never publicise what they are going to invest in. because they know the publicity can cause an up in the price.
its the same as auctions. never raise your hand early and shout out how much you want a thing. because then others will try to outbid you.

CEO's only publicise their investments once they have already bought in and are hoping for the publicity price bump so they can profit on the sell out. they will never shoot themselves in the foot.

its like Peter schiff. he says how bitcoin is bad but people should buy gold off of him.. why. because he wants to sell his gold.

peter schiff pretends to only love gold. but the reality is every single week for the last few years he has been mentioning crypto and turning it into an excuse of why people should buy his gold.
translating it. he wants to sell his gold to people that have crypto.. .. think about that

when CEO's are heavily promoting bitcoin they are ready to exit. when they are negative about bitcoin, they want to get in.

CEO knows they have influencial power on thousands of investors so they play pump and dump games with their influence. yep thats how the world works.

same as governments. when they want you to go out and spend spend spend. what you really should be doing is staying in and save save save. you will need that money later on. there is reason they want you to spend. and those reasons are not in your best interest

i see autonomous vehicles that do the mundane transport. such as trams/taxi/trucks. you know the ones doing the same route each day every day
thus reduce the cost of transport by not having a human driver.

i can see a future where city mainstreets will be closed off to citizen owned cars(UK congestion zone) and turned into 'tramways' for public service transport(automated taxi/buses/trams)

i can even see highways having a designated lane for automotive vehicles(UK/US buslanes/carpool lanes)

but first we need to sort out the cost of transport.
in the UK it costs £15 to go between 2 main cities i looked at by train. but a petrol car can do it for £8. thus EV cars will need to offer a communter service between the 2 cities for less than both. to make it go mainstream/used in the majority

until then. only the rich will be auto-EV buyers that want to be lazy and watch netflix while on the highway

the tvbcof linked study in september was revised because the initial may study was only using stats from things like the diamond process in february. thus that was a case of high infection due to lack of restrictions.
however then updating it with studies in the proceeding months, they seen high severity symptoms decreased and the number of people infected also decreased due to social distancing and masks reducing viral load.
it does not say nor suggest nor even hint that the world is at any herd immunity number. so it debunks tvbcofs narrative that 'everyone is one'
..
as for natsuu reply
covid is a new virus and thats why its not in the same close strain lineage to say sars 2003
take the difference between apes to humans. 99% the same

so claming covid is the same as flu becasue both are corona's is like saying apes are same as man because both are sapiens

but we al can see the wild difference between apes and humans.
so yea corona is a family/grouping of viruses 99% similar. but the 1% difference is alot
EG human/ape is not like a snake. just like corona is not ebola

those that had flu in previous years are not then immortal/immune to covid. they do say having recently gotten over a flu triggers your immune response to have lots of random defenses in your body to be able to attack a pathogen a little sooner.(soldiers still on guard. dont know the enemy but just being on guard can lessen the attack)
but this is not as beneficial as simply not getting as much viral load in the first place.
(less invaders at the castle gates)

in short you are better off getting low viral load infected by social distancing/mask wearing which has better odds of reducing the severity risk. rather than relying on previous infections from other pathogens that are not the same 'race'/strain from defending you while sucking face with sick people thinking viral load is not important.(facepalm)
9995  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Why would anyone pay for Covid testing? on: October 26, 2020, 07:30:43 PM
first lets correct jetcash's falsehoods
it wont get triggered by 'other viruses'
it will trigger when at near-peak infection. but wont trigger at low infections period before or after
it wont trigger due to the low 'shedding' of dead viruses
it has nothing to do with antibodies

yes the 'rapid test' is for those at the peak of infection.
pre symptomatic - post infection wont really detect it. so yes there is some issues with best timing to be tested

the idea of these rapid tests is only good in a situation where everyone is tested regularly, eg every 3 days. thus when an infection is at peak they can spot it and act the same hour.

having someone pay for it. well thats just foolish especially if it means a potential sick person has to go to a shop and get it(thus interacting with people) but also people wont pay out for a test every couple days just to find out when they are most infectious because they might only get sick 2 times a year. so thats like 10 tests a month for 6 months to get one positive. (60 tests).. costs soon add up

yes 60 tests per person at the true manufacturing cost is still cheaper than a single PCR test. and yes if government funded to just distribute 60 tests to every citizen for free has many many benefits over all

but a single test where people have to buy it from a retailer.. seems oppertunist profit for the retailer while negating the proper usage/method of best effectivity

by al this im not saying the 'rapid test' does not work. but the timing of when you take the spit test is critical.
no point taking it a week after feeling symptoms to find out if you had covid.
more so it can be used to show you are no longer in the infectious stage. but that too could be where you are pre-symptomatic to not yet be at the peak infection.

so regular testing using rapid testing is the best effective method. not sporadic/random testing
9996  Other / Politics & Society / Re: NASA to make major announcement about the moon on Monday on: October 26, 2020, 07:14:17 PM
so to explain some of the science
every molecule emits a certain frequency of photons(certain colour of light) and knowing the exact colour of water means they can measure and monitor it.

they say they did not find any water in large blocks. definetly no underground lakes. no iceburgs, not even icecubes or puddles. so they are learning they cannot just tap into an underground aquifer, but instead have to mine it like mining gold dust spread out throughout the land.

so this is not going to be a 'well' type of mining mission. but a 'gold digger' type of mining
this then makes them able to plan what kind of mining operation to design for water capture on the moon

so that stops any hope of just tapping into a well and just setting up shop in one location. but instead have to move around and tap into multiple locations like quarry mining

their next hope is not so much a well that just sucks up the water. but instead hopes they can sort of 'frack' it out of the moons ground thus not having to shift as much dirt to get it

the amount of it (if all could be captured)... is about a standard serving can of cocacola per cubic metre


so a 3cubic metre (27x1cubic metre) will only gather 9 litres(if all can be captured) which would only be enough for 3 persons fluid use a day (2litre drink/ 1litre hygiene per person)

so i hope this can get some people to grasp the scale of whats needed to do to gather any reasonable amount to use for fuel/colonisation of the moon
9997  Other / Serious discussion / Re: Best Investment Methods in Cryptocurrency on: October 26, 2020, 06:52:23 AM
lesson one
dont be greedy
lesson two
dont invest hoping for 2x-10x of funds in any way
lesson three
invest small and get out fast at just 1-3% profit

basically if your going to throw your whole hoard into something and wait 6-12 months for the hope of a 200% profit. you are bound to loose faith, loose funds or make silly decisions like 'what if i leave it in a little longer'

instead if you break your hoard into 10 allotments. and only put a buy in at X and then put a sell in at x+3%
you can get orders filled quite often and repeat multiple times
if thet price does not raise by 3% but instead falls. thats ok. you got 9 allotments left. so you can wait until X-5% and put a buy in and then sell that for x-2% to still get 3% from that order

by doing this at 5% spread between orders. you will always have value to buy with even if the price dips by 50%.. and that does not happen very often
but the price swaying 3-6% does. so you can just rinse and repeat

all of them small 3% amounts soon add up. and over a year can be quite a bit
...
its better to just 'gamble' on the exchange price fluctuatons. much safer than gambling on new ICO/crapcoin projects.
stick with coins that have longevity and actual real life usage. not promises of usage but no endorsement from industries a crap coin pretends tobe linked to.

and lastly
DONT BE GREEDY

while jetcash has been crying for a while now about how much money.. he has shown 100% lack of actually researching the cost.

UK can vaccinate 35million people with all the R&D costs for under £50m
lets call it £1.20 per vaccination cost to taxpayer worse case

well he probably fills up his camper van with petrol at say £20 a week
of which £4 is VAT
of which £8 is fuel duty

so that £12 tax from just one week of car fuel can cover all the costs of 10 people a week
if he has just one coffee a day for 7 days. thats £7. 5% vat. thats 35p
thats just about another person a month

41people get a vaccine just from his coffee trips a month.
246people for the 6 months he has been visiting morrisons to get on wifi and cludge this forum
and it hasnt cost him a single penny more then he would usually spend

..
the rest of his spending (income tax/national insurance, VAT on bills, Vat on groceries and other stuff) can pay for other things.

but i hope he realises that the small spend of just a coffee a day plus the fuel to get him there. well thats helping 246 people for just the last 6 months of his ranty chants on this forum

well heres one part of how sedwen reacted to covid
Quote
One March 17 FHM directive to Stockholm hospitals stated any patients over 80 or with a body mass index above 40 should not be admitted to intensive care, because they were less likely to recover. Other reports describe sick care home residents being administered a palliative cocktail of morphine and midazolam, because the homes were not equipped to administer oxygen, something some doctors have described as ‘active euthanasia.’

so it becomes even more obvious when seeing badecker advertise pill mill drugs as daily supplements for people not even sick/symptomatic. along with euthenisation techniques for those that are sick that hit a particular category of age/weight. it becomes very clear which group of people he is being brainwashed by

im guessing knowing badecker is in arizona he probably also follows the callus racist groups that would add mexicans into the euthenisation category. sounds like something he would desire
