  1. Certainly, each particle of the Universe contains all the laws governing it as the image of the alive cell containing in its core all genetic information to be it living respective.

    This is what I seek to discover during my different works.

      A status update is not the place to discuss this, you should set up a thread or discuss in a relevant existing thread. The answer to you question on "how does a particle know" is: The laws of physics. A cell on the other hand contains genetic information because biology and evolution. If you're trying to unify biology and physics you might want to reconsider otherwise we might conclude you have loose screws or missing some even.

      Were fine, I guess. Almost a month of isolation is taking its toll but were healthy and financially secure. In previous weeks we were taking the car once a week and went to remote places for long walks but yesterday they locked everything up with risk of huge fines so thats over. Which is a good thing, I guess. How are things going where you are?

  8. Bad news, my step mom suffered a home invasion, not only did they beat her up they burned down her house. Onlookers were able to drag her out of the house. To make matters worse my dad died, I'm having problems getting information at this time since my step mom and my dad were my only source of info...

      If you had asked me before you bought, I would have asked you to answer the few standard questions and then I would have forwarded that to one of my printer service engineer buddies and let him determine what you need. Thats what I do since about 2011. I have no idea what you should buy.

I also have indigestion from all the great food theyre serving to which I cant say no...and my feet are burnt. One more week of this „nightmare” and I can finally go back to normality. I’m half way through Frank Herbert’s „Dune” which I never read who knows why. Oh and I hate „Ouzo” with its aniseed taste @MigL

      I found something interesting this evening while our 3 year was playing in the sand at a beach party with one of my flashlights which has a strong magnet in the tailcap. Earlier today we went for another car trip around the towns and beaches in the Kos island and my partner complained that her feet got horribly dirty. Weirdly black dirty...we just assumed its the volcanic dust but its in fact incredibly fine iron fillings. And when I say fine, its so fine it got through the first O-ring of my double O-ring whaterproof flashlight. Once its on the magnet it behaves like regular iron fillings on a magnet but when I got it off, man I’ve never seen iron pieces so fine - pure dust. Suddenly I realized that theres a reason for poor electrical infrastructure around here - transformers on poles shooting sparks everywhere, abandoned cars on sides of roads, etc. This stuff must get into everything eventually, I hope our devices will survive. Tomorrow I’ll take my son and we’ll gather some more to bring back home :)

      @MigL I fixed it with getting a bottle of whiskey in a store yesterday while we rented a car and checked out the island. Kos town is very beautiful with its narrow street caffe’s and small stores in the old town. The harbour is very nice too with its old style fishing boats and a few ~50mln dollar yahts. A perk of having an in your face 3 year old was him getting invited inside one of the huge yahts by a young arabic couple...I was stunned by whats inside, been to quite a few fancy hotel suites in my life but this thing was a whole another level. She was well spoken and educated, he was a complete moron but both very mild, easy going and happy (Duh) Fell asleep in the middle of my first drink yesterday, second attempt tonight, I have a feeling its going to work this time as someones PMS will not let me sleep soon anyway. Quiet day today, read for 10 hours strait, it did good to all three of us. „Kefalos” town is a dead place but still groovy with its beautiful streets and vibe. I struck a conversation with a very interesting gay store owner where I bought the booze. I liked it because he was able to synthesize his and his towns 55 years life in 10 minutes like a pro. At times like these I wish I was gay (without knowing my other self and all)

      @Sensei, I thought for about a minute about a reply to you. After considering all the angles I decided to thank you yet again for your valuable input.

      Catchy. Attractive. I like it.
      I've been a digger all my life and I'm pretty sure I can't eradicate it. It sucks to be a digger.

      @Sensei, they weren’t strips, they were Osram CSLNM1.TG one square milimeter emitters on MCPCB’s that I was testing for temperature to set the current accordingly on the driver. Unfortunately a new power supply unit that I got played some tricks on me so poof!

      3K USD would be a little too much for me to break in gear over a Friday evening. I don't know how your laws in Canada are but here you really don't want to drink and drive, you loose your license for at least a few years if not for life and if you cause an accident its 10 years with no bail I think.
