Is this a real french keyboard ?
The AZERTY keyboard is real “Like other European keyboard layouts, it is modelled on the English-language QWERTY layout. It is used in France and Belgium, though both countries have their own national variation on the layout.” https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/AZERTY

SFN Migrated and Upgraded
I’m assuming these are people, so slowing down the process makes then less efficient. e.g. it takes 5 minutes to spam us instead of 2. We become a less-attractive target

SFN Migrated and Upgraded
Any way to stem the tide of spammers? Slow down the CAPTCHA/registration process a touch?

Flood of Spam 12th July 2025: Why Would Someone Do That?
Doesn’t seem all that random. Customer service numbers for a handful of actual businesses. If you google the phone numbers I think they’re legit (edit: perhaps not; see later post) and the top results will be posts like these on lightly- or unmoderated forums (so there’s no deletion), so I’m guessing that it’s motivated by SEO. People in India (in today’s cases) is paid a pittance to make a certain quota of posts in some digital sweatshop

Apologize to release some feeling of guilt, or keep living with pain of regret?
I think a lot of programs are based on the same ideas. https://waypointrecoverycenter.com/blog/making-amends-a-crucial-part-of-the-12-steps/

Apologize to release some feeling of guilt, or keep living with pain of regret?
Some 12-step programs have advice on making amends; how to do it, and what options you have if a confrontation might cause pain or harm.

Summary of Neptune Data Simulated by the NKTg Law Compared to NASA's Published Data (2024)
What are the units of NKTg? Please show your work. How do you get from this value to the effect on motion?

Unified Vibrational Ether Field Theory
Some main issues to address, per the rules, would be what predictions does this make, and how does it make them, as there is no math? How is this idea testable/falsifiable?

Genesis 1:26... created humans in his own image of God...
“as in” i.e. your will be done here, as your will is done there. Two different places. People are being tasked with doing God’s will on earth as God does in heaven. We’re here, and she’s there.

Genesis 1:26... created humans in his own image of God...
It’s clearly not saying that.

Unified Vibrational Ether Field Theory
Moderator NoteIt’s incredible that someone who wants to discuss advanced physics can’t follow simple instructions, but here we are. I have split this into its own thread. I’m not sure why you were incapable of posting this as a new topic. You may discuss this here, and only here. In this one thread BUT 2. If you hijack any other discussion to bring this or any other speculative idea up, you will be banned

Is this Good News at last or just another Whitewash ?
2024 estimate is 887 GW of solar, according to the US EIA. “Planned solar capacity projects will likely lead to continued growth in China’s solar capacity. More than 720 GW of solar capacity are in development: about 250 GW under construction, nearly 300 GW in pre-construction phases, and 177 GW of announced projects, according to the Global Solar Power Tracker compiled by Global Energy Monitor.” Like I said, trending in the right direction. https://www.eia.gov/todayinenergy/detail.php?id=65064

The ones that were hijacking the discussion have been removed. Other than that, no, we don’t do that.

Given that solar and wind are often cheaper than the FF alternatives, even if the inflection point hasn’t quite been reached, it’s trending in the right direction.

Indeed. My apologies to all for not noticing that they did not initiate the thread. The preaching has been split and placed in an appropriate receptacle

Preachy hijack from Genesis 1:26... created humans in his own image of God...
Except you don’t ask many questions. I just went back about 10 posts and there was one about color, one that was obviously rhetorical and one that you asked so that you could give the answer.

Preachy hijack from Genesis 1:26... created humans in his own image of God...
But I can say that, and others can, too. Soul? Who said anything about a soul? This is dodging the question. If there’s no difference, then there’s no justification for putting humans in a special category. This mischaracterizes my question; I did base anything on one property. I can point to differences between them. The temperature, owing to the processes producing internal heat, would be one. Composition would be another. (I don’t think that I’ve committed any ethical issues by doing so.) It’s one property, but various balls used in sports are spherical, too. Do you mistake them for celestial objects? To avoid more waffling on your part, the underlying point here is that your view is subjective, and science deals with things that are objective; they are true whether or not you believe them (e.g. gravity, and the rest of physics. Belief will not keep you from falling if you jump off a cliff) The problem is that you are presenting subjective views as if they are objectively true, and that’s why people are calling it out as preaching. Because that’s exactly what it is. Even in the religion subforum, we deal with objective facts. The content of what you believe is an objective fact; you’re here to attest to it. You can even cite what others believe if there’s evidence of those beliefs. But you cross the line when you imply that what you believe needs to be true for others.

In this way relativity and quantum can maybe combine?
Moderator NoteBut we’re not discussing that here. That is to be discussed in the thread you opened on that topic.

What about women? What biological properties distinguish us from apes and other animals?

Are we vegetables, then? Which category are we in?

Too much time on my hand.
Why do you need to save games if you can just procedurally generate all the content? Why are they the size that they are (I’ve seen people say hundreds of MB or even multiple GB) Why do they get bigger as you render more?

Too much time on my hand.
And it needs to be the same tree if they go back to that place, which is why people have brought up memory. One can’t just ignore things that are inconvenient to the argument. Seems to me this is a distinction without a difference. Saying it won’t work or has problems applies to both scenarios. You’ve said this but it seems to just be an excuse not to address objections

Angle Of Transverse
Ok, but the tip isn’t covering a greater distance in the same time. A transversal is a line crossing other lines, and there’s an interior and exterior angle, but I’m not sure how this all connects.
