I have lyme disease and I'm concerned of passing it to someone else through kissing/having sexual intercourse. Officially, the CDC says it cannot spread. However, I have heard many people online claim that it CAN spread.

I'm not sure how to approach this, if I should tell others, and what I should do to make sure I won't spread it to others.

Can I ask your opinion of this /sci/, if you happen to know anything about lyme disease? I have a feeling some people on here will at least.

>>16387169
Thanks anon. That makes me feel a lot better. Still when I tell people I have this disease its awkward but I feel I am obligated to do it, in case there's any chance of it spreading.

>>16387216
You should know, assuming you're being treated, once you've finished the antibiotics regimen you're no longer actually infected. The lingering symptoms are because of the damage it did to your immune system (essentially a body-wide allergy), not because the bacteria is still present. So, there's no chance of you infecting someone once that part of the treatment is done.
>>
>>16387227
Can I ask how you learned this anon? I asked some other people online and they were really paranoid of the disease spreading. What you're saying makes me feel a lot more optimistic. I did have my symptoms persist for several months afterwards, and I still have a few problems.
>>
>>16387234
My sister had it years ago (she got over it fine, though had knee pains for about a year or so after), and I read up about it at the time. It's a complicated disease that doesn't behave like ordinary diseases, which I think makes people paranoid about it.

This is the final redpill. Not just holocaust "denial" (although "minimization" would be a more accurate term), but outright denial of all historical and political boogeyman.

This is just globohomo propaganda to convince you that the only viable political system is liberal democracy.

Prove it. The whole point of the Casimir effect is that the plates move.

If its not moving because its not being powered, it is not a perpetual motion device.

>the motor is powered by a previous device
No, the motor is powered by an electrical signal.

>No, the free-energy device is one thing.. the motor is a different separate thing.
And both are necessary components of the perpetual motion device.

So is free zero-point energy.

the motor does not itself produce said electrical energy..

>So is free zero-point energy.
yes.. the previous stage utilizing vacuum energy is indeed a zero-point energy device..
the motor has fuck all to do with powering itself.

>>16387228
>Yes, they are the two different components of a theoretical perpetual motion device, something to harvest the energy and something to disperse it mechanically.
No, thats two different devices..
A perpetual motion device powers itself..
getting power from a previous stage is not powering itself..

How would i be able to figure out the .75 decimal on measuring tape when i measure 15 3/4? I used a website to figure out 15 3/4 is 15.75. I just dont know how to count the .75 on a measuring tape.
>>
>>16385416
decent bait attempt but nothing special 4/10
>>
>>16385416
.1 means 1/10
.01 means 1/100
.001 means 1/1000
This means .75 = 75/100
You can simplify 75/100 to 3/4, which means that dividing up a pie into 100 equal pieces and eating 75 of them is the same as if you divided the same pie into 4 pieces and eating 3 of them. Simplifying is better because it's easier to imaging cutting one inch into 4 pieces is easier that cutting them into 100.

So say you want to guess (approximate) where 0.6732 is on a measuring tape. You now know that 0.00, 0.25, 0.50, 0.75, and 1.00 are just 0/4, 1/4, 2/4, 3/4, and 4/4 on the measuring tape. .6732 is between .5 and .75, so you know you marking is between the 2/4 and 3/4 mark on the tape. You could find the center between the .5 and .75 which is .6225, So a good guess is a little after the 2nd mark after the 2/4 = 1/2 mark.

Look up how to do ruler fraction math online or on youtube. If you need more help, look for the Ask Stupid Questions thread (which is for all questions, not just stupid)

What do you count in between the four fractions? Sure, each of the four point leading to another inch is 1/4=.25, leading to a 1.00 (one inch), but what do you count when your measurement falls on one of the points in between? Every increment doesnt seem to add to each of the four fractions of an inch.

We can percieve only "space"(luminoferous eather) which is evaporated from black holes, to fill our universe with well, space we can move on as electromagnetic creatures. Beyond the edge of thing we move in there's space, but there light doesn't propagate, because it's no luminoferous aether there.

If a colony of modern humans (as in, more than enough of them to sustain a stable non-interbreeding population) were transported to a copy of Earth that is more or less identical to ours minus any existing human civilisation or technology, supplied with the collective knowledge of every technological advancement from fire to the modern day, how short a time could it take them to manufacture a single smartphone?
This is a theoretical situation where there's no infighting, cultural divisions, natural disasters, plagues or whatever to significantly hinder their work, and they aren't being forced to work unhealthy amounts of time every day.

For example, with the right knowledge of materials and how to use them it's possible to set up furnaces and basic smelting 'equipment' within a week, even a day with a lot of people working on them, but you won't exactly be able to make precision instruments immediately.

Depends a lot on how educated they were, carrying a bunch of books wont do much.
Most people in this so-called colony will have to busy themselves with hunting and building somewhat in excess of their own needs, to support a smaller group of people that needs to work in these technological projects full time.
Normally they would organize this with a bank. They would set up a market to sell their squirrel meat, and the proceeds saved in a bank, which could decide then to fund tech startups, such as "copper"

We have this discussion regularly.
Last time, it was estimated stone age to atomic age in 50 years, and the rest mostly as it evolved. That makes for 100 - 150 years.

Theres currently ATM entire countries of tens of millions of people that cannot feed themselves or manufacture anything.
As an example: Egypt.
Tell Egypt to manufacture smartphones, and to make the machines too. See how that goes.
>>
>>16384338
This, but the most important factor is there being enough people to necessitate smartphones in the first place.

How old ware you, when you discovered that space we experience is just luminoferrous aether?

We need whole quantum mechanics, just to explain, that light is not wave in a medium, space is not medium...

Can't you just accept that old man was true and mainstream media spreads true?

Light is a wave, propagating trough medium, now we call it space. Medium can bend itself to form minkowski space, but space itself cannot?

Ernest Jones, in 1913, was the first to construe extreme narcissism, which he called the "God-complex", as a character flaw. He described people with God-complex as being aloof, self-important, overconfident, auto-erotic, inaccessible, self-admiring, and exhibitionistic, with fantasies of omnipotence and omniscience. He observed that these people had a high need for uniqueness.
