  1. Unless CharonY is on your payroll, I think you are totally out of line. Methinks you have lived a privileged life. Perhaps your short time here will provide you will some valuable real-life experience.
  2. You are free to make up any analogy you wish to help you understand gravity. Keep in mind though that an analogy is not the thing it is being compared to and will by definition be lacking. For that matter, General Relativity also is not a description of what gravity "really is", but is simply a model describing how gravity works. Your description of the BB as a diffusion of particles however is inaccurate in the early moments of the BB. 'Time' being described as a 'reverse emulsifier' seems problematic. Time might be better thought of as a measurement, just as length is a measurement.
  3. They were not found scattered about. The picture was not taken for public viewing but as a standard method of documenting what was found by spreading them out so a clear picture could be taken. Doesn't help to take a picture of a box when you cannot see what is in it. It was only released because it dispels Donald's narrative. Donald is just too dumb to know what the picture was. Next he'll be telling us that the FBI is using human clones because he saw a pic of an FBI agent in Mar-a-Lago and then LATER SAW A PIC OF THE SAME MAN IN WASHINGTON D.C.!!! TRUTH!!! COVFEFE!
  4. I think you misuse "IQ" just like you misuse "AI". AI is not the answer to every problem, and a person with a higher IQ is not automatically more qualified than a person with a lower IQ.
  5. In my youth I attended concerts regularly. Hearing certain songs gives me warm memories of those times. While I was fortunate enough to see many great performers, high up on the list was a concert by the Allman Brothers with Elvin Bishop as the opening act. They played together at the end of the Allman Brothers' set. Still remember that show...
  6. As far as 'all instrumental' goes, this has always been a favorite of mine.
  7. I also don't listen to a lot of jazz, however, there is not a musical genre that doesn't include some of my favorite music. (Which makes it very disconcerting for anyone who is listening to my music collection!) That was an excellent version of Take Five! +1
  8. Wow! That was outstanding!! I'm just sitting here grinning like a fool. 😎
  9. I don't see how my logic leads to everyone moving to Antarctica and Greenland. Using that line of reasoning, we could say that your proposal means that we are going to distribute water equally throughout all the world's deserts, which I'm sure is not what you were suggesting. My proposal was simply a counter to your proposal that engineering is the way we should be addressing areas of the world where there is not enough water to sustain human activity. It is a lot easier to create zoning codes to disallow fountains, farms, and golf courses in the desert than it is to engineer shipping a finite water supply across the desert just because it is asked for.
  10. Are Antarctica and Greenland the only places that have plenty of water?
  11. Nice work my friend! 😃
  12. No, I don't think that incredibly narrow view of psychiatry is appropriate.
  13. Are tachyon questions off-limits here?
  14. I honestly think that the your chance of success in rooting a 36 foot long limb from a tree is completely dependent on your success in finding the magic powder you mentioned.
  15. I read The Godfather in 7th grade.
  16. How is your experiment going?
  17. A much more polite version of "Just like Galileo I am being persecuted and censored because you refuse to accept anything that does not adhere to your dogma or originate from a famous person/someone who has been on this site a long time."
  18. My great grandmother died at at age 106. I remember her 100th birthday party when she danced to a polka. We were told that at the time of her death she was the only person residing in the nursing home who was on no medication. I was too young at the time to really be aware of the details of her health, but it seemed as if she had no chronic diseases.
  19. This is a continuous battle against the establishment, deep state government, and all things Democratic. They simply picked up the baton dropped by the Tea Party, who picked up the baton dropped by the New Gingrich cabal, who picked up the baton dropped by Goldwater/Reagan crowd, who picked up the baton dropped by McCarthyism, who picked up the baton dropped by America First. I imagine in 10 years MAGA will be gone and others will gleefully carry on the eternal battle.
  20. I used to be addicted to the Hokey Pokey, but I turned myself around.
  21. zapatos replied to iNow's topic in Politics
  22. Just like with academic teachers, when you are young they teach you what to think, and as you age and progress they teach you how to think.
  23. That's awfully cynical. It presupposes that the people woo'ing don't believe. Whether they are foolish to believe or not, if they do believe, then what they are doing is not about trying to dupe people; it is about enlightening people.
