I recall having that problem years ago and did find a solution - but can’t remember exactly what it was! Best I can do is say that it involved using an alternative firmware on the MDAC (which you should be able to find via the wiki) and changing a setting or two. A good Google search should...

and no offence taken!

Fair enough. I responded to a post with what I thought was a valid technical observation. I’ll bow out…

FWIW I was head of clinical research, designed scores of clinical trials and spent 25 years trying to ensure that biases didn't destroy man-years of research effort. I am not for one moment suggesting (and never have on here) pharma-standard research standards are sensible here, but (as I...

I hope I wasn't insinuating that I believed it was fixed in any way and trhat your outcome wasn't valid. Not my intention which was - as I always try to do - to suggest what other factors could be at play. My experience would, however, take issue with a blank assertion that a "sighted" person...

I’ve managed to stay away for ten pages, thereby avoiding sullying this thread (as I have done with many others) with discussing biases. But, this is one of my favourites and one of the lesser-known potentials for bias and one that I have seen in action. Pharma standard work was mentioned...

Yep - the Kann stands had some refurbished LS3/5As on them. Even on those stands the Ergos blew the LS3/5As straight into the office!

how to take a screenshot on a pc Had these made by a local blacksmith - my about-to-be-replaced Linn Kan stands are in the background. I also use some sorbothane pads between the Ergos and the top plate.

This is seriously messed up, even if you ignore the problem of the lack of knowledge and experience of the associates. Junior doctors are expected to supervise the Associates whilst working longer hours for significantly lower pay.

A simple explanation would be that the study looked at the 5-year survival rate. So for a patient entering the study in 2017 the study end point would be 2022, then several months to analyse the data and write the paper, a couple of months for the journal to review the paper, a few weeks to make...

No need as they offer a lifetime warranty and sent me the part for free.

Exactly that…

We have the Big Green Egg (a very similar piece of kit) and had a broken ceramic part years ago. The official and unofficial advice was not to try a repair as many of the adhesives can add extra flavours that you may not want…

I’ll stop here because we are out of my comfort zone of science and into politics. In this case though, the credible alternatives would have been: 1. Turn up to COBRA meetings 2. Listen to the experts and follow the advice 3. Don‘t lie about following the advice Corbyn may or may not have...

Certainly don’t hate Boris or conservatives in general on principle, but more than seriously unimpressed with their behaviour that certainly cost many lives. Absolutely no idea where ‘what would Corbyn have done’ takes the argument about what actually happened and whether lockdown was worth it.
