"bad day" had dinosaurs ~ 65 millions years ago when they extinct..

..some people after natural or unnatural disaster, accident, death of family member, say "God's will!" or "Allah's will!" (which is the same)... so, apparently, they are disagreeing with you..

Some fungi, microorganisms, parasites take control over mind of higher level organisms turning them to e.g. "zombie ant". Like for example Ophiocordyceps unilateralis https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ophiocordyceps_unilateralis https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Behavior-altering_parasite https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toxoplasma_gondii "In humans, T. gondii is one of the most common parasites in developed countries;[7][8] serological studies estimate that 30–50% of the global population has been exposed to and may be chronically infected with T. gondii," "T. gondii has been shown to alter the behavior of infected rodents in ways that increase the rodents' chances of being preyed upon by felids.[11][15][16] Support for this "manipulation hypothesis" stems from studies showing T. gondii-infected rats have a decreased aversion to cat urine." "A number of studies have suggested that subtle behavioral or personality changes may occur in infected humans,[22] and infection with the parasite has recently been associated with a number of neurological disorders, particularly schizophrenia[16] and bipolar disorder.[23][24] A 2015 study also found cognitive deficits in adults to be associated with joint infection by both T. gondii and Helicobacter pylori in a regression model with controls for race-ethnicity and educational attainment.[25] Although a causal relationship between latent toxoplasmosis with these neurological phenomena has not yet been established,[9][16] preliminary evidence suggests that T. gondii infection may induce some of the same alterations in the human brain as those observed in mice.[26][27]" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toxoplasma_gondii#Behavioral_differences_of_infected_hosts

Who would have thought that cartoon can teach you something...

@koti Galactic offworlders have specific sense of humour. Off this world. Human can laugh from getting lost in mall, hotel etc. and turn it to anecdote for friends and family. Offworlder can laugh from getting lost in space.

Good reason to learn astronomy... Don't get lost in space..

You are not using correctly ordered names, so auto-fill/auto-completion cannot work. I am using it every day. In Android Studio (Java) OTOH if you start writing e.g. "permission", IDE is searching this term also inside of name and make it bold. e.g. main_error_insufficient_permissions (so actually it would be sufficient to enter "pe" or "per" to limit list of available results, and pick the right one from drop-down list).

Yes.. when you have to horizontally scroll text to be able to read them all.. Some prefer "reverse notation".. e.g. main_error_insufficient_permissions so other "main_" strings/variables/classes etc. are listed in alphabetically sorted order together in IDE, and other "main_error_" are listed in sorted order together in IDE, etc.etc. If you have human natural language order, they would be all mixed together. "main" is place where is used specified string (in Android app), "error" is what is subject of specified string. e.g. you have class which has name PasswordEditText, so prefix will be "passwordedittext_" and the all its strings grouped together in strings.xml This has to help them listed together due to sorting algorithm in IDE (auto-fill/auto-completion feature of IDE).

@Raider5678 Absolutely. Descriptive variable names, descriptive class names, descriptive structure names, descriptive constants etc. etc. are essential for readable and maintainable in the future source code.. ps. Example from my yesterday project: context.getString( R.string.voiceedittext_speech_error_insufficient_permissions ); .... I don't need to comment, I hope so..

Example: How often team wins on homeland and how often team loses on homeland? How often team wins on opponent stadium and how often team loses on opponent stadium? These data can be easily extracted from tables and made statistics. Do you know what these questions mean in the reality: team which is flying long route to opponent is more tired of route. Also there must be added timezone changes. If coach of team is knowledgeable, or have proper advisors, could reduce team tiredness and decrease effects from timezone changes. When team is arriving to important opponent city? A few hours prior match? Day prior match? Couple days prior match? How much of time is spend in airplanes, and how much time is spend in buses? Team has private jet or is using public air traffic (which extends travel of the team, and make them more tired). Teams without private jets (due to costs) obviously will be more tired and less likely to win a game. How coach is dealing with alcohol, cigarettes, narcotics, doping.. ? i.e. are there performed regular daily basis tests on the whole team? Selected players? or none? (normal football players in my country were known for drinking a lot of alcohol, and spending night by night in casinos)

Declining are only countries/nations with ratio children per woman less than 2. Here you have links: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_sovereign_states_and_dependencies_by_total_fertility_rate (check table with fertility rate per woman) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Total_fertility_rate#Replacement_rates (check world map on the right, colors indicate whether country has replacement or decline of population)

..what problems UN hide.. ?

He meant hypothetical "white hole".. Sun, similar like other stars, is burning fuel (Hydrogen and Helium), which was sucked and gathered billions years ago during formation of Solar System. If it would be "white hole", it would have infinite (?) or finite (?) amount of fuel from opposite "black hole".. Which would mean it could exist for much longer time than expected by scientists. It would break the all currently accepted physics laws.

I love you John, regardless you're drunk, or stoned..

It is so cool to read your invaluable input, John, but yours Saturday post, is delayed by two years... Notice when my post was made... ps. It's good to sober prior reply, don't you think? ps2. There should be added option to this forum "I am drinking".. whenever somebody drinks at weekend, presses button, which automatically delays his or her reply the all messages to forum..

But "all swans are white" is false statement. Some swans are not white. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_swan The key word in this statement is "all". If statement would be "majority of swans are white", finding swan with different color would not contradict statement.

The key word here is "every"... No, it would not. It would show that "In every room in every building on earth, there's a green unicorn!" is false statement.

Nobody mentioned Westworld? https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0475784/

Extremely well said!

@Ghideon It is brilliant idea for a game for (and with) a child! +1. Let him or her build the molecule with balls-n-sticks, and search on-line what it is actually and read what it is doing. This is quite an interesting, innovative and not boring way to learn chemistry.

That last post reminded me about one essential thing to have by every kid: ball-n-stick model. https://www.ebay.com/bhp/molecular-model-kit You can make your own molecule model from supplied in the box balls. Sticks represent bonds between atoms. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ball-and-stick_model

This video is 42 seconds long at 360px resolution.. i.e. couple MB at most.

You can show him e.g. this video of how photons (i.e. light) interact with atoms: Explain what is in the middle (nucleus), explain composition of nucleus (protons, neutrons, stability, radioactivity, decay energy, disintegration energy). Explain what is around nucleus (electrons), explain shells and sub-shells, how electrons are ejected, and how they are reattached to atom. Exactly. There are websites and desktop or mobile applications where you can enter chemical formula, get name of compound, and in 3D viewport observe and rotate 3D visualization of that molecule. See it from the all sides.
