I'm sure you will crash in some way. You may not get physically addicted but could well get habituated into being compelled to keep doing it.

Poppycock

A bureau. I can just picture those securing the curved brass tracks having them on the drop leaf door.

The raised section the threaded part stands on suggests it fits snugly into the same size groove. Maybe a sliding locking nut.

That's a neat example of emergence.

They may arise with a trigger, like a smell, piece of music etc.

Nice condescending style. I always forget to avoid issues of racism and feminism here. It always ends the same. Sorry guys, I'll stay out.

Still thinking about it, although I'm not religious.

But that's not the way it goes between more distant social relations, is it? We can all find a data point of one.

So why can't white people use it in the same context?

I find it perplexing that some/many black folk refer to themselves as "Nigga"; they aren't helping themselves if they want words like that to disappear from the 21st century lexicon. Many blacks have straight blond hair and yet call out white folk for 'blackfishing' (cultural appropriation) when they braid theirs. I read thiis morning Nicki Minaj had to defend a white co-singer for blackfishing. First thing to do is to check for hypocrisy.

I'm not sure conspiracy threads are allowed. Anyway:

I think you just need to lower the resolution of the image - downsample.

Relativity of simultaneity, I think covers that.

Who is correct? This is a current dispute between a government agency and environmental group about how best to limit the spread of fires. Who has the most compelling argument? My bias is towards the enviro position: thinning down improves the parameters for good combustion, and therefore spread.

Complexifying or simplifying, it's all evolution... and nature is blind to the results.

Good. I hope it comes to something. Another thing they do is buy all shares in the shell company of someone that owns a superyacht, say, then they own the yacht and don't have to pay tax on the sale because it's not realized for tax purposes.

Objects with mass are not allowed to reach c (light speed) because you end up with infinities of mass and energy to get there.

Have a look this US Forestry Service article: https://www.fs.usda.gov/visit/fall-colors/science-of-fall-colors

If you haven't got anything substantive to say, don't post it. Conversing and reading with you is like trying to catch smoke.

Calling a person 'stupid' rather than specifically their behaviour gives them no avenue to rectify, since one has attacked their whole person.

The solution is global consensus on the issue and harmonizing rates, then no one can jump their responsibility. This is actually ongoing, as you probably know.

Apparently, the uber-wealthy leave their investments where they are and borrow the money because the borrowing rate is much cheaper than cashing in and paying federal/state taxes. I think there needs to be a annual review on unrealised assets that can be easily turned to cash, and subjected to federal scrutiny. It's a work-in-progress internationally, it seems.

Yeah, added a bit more to my understanding of Casimir force too. Cheers swansont.
