The feds injecting billions into the market or banks and have been doing this the the past two to three months.

That all the news outlet was saying and also used the word repo.

So I don’t know where the money is going and who is getting rich of this thing.

I did not know the stock market or banks are not doing well and could crash with out this money coming from the feds.

well I did not know the problem was that bad.

They are talking about this:

This article talks about current events:

Its hard to follow honestly but basically things are fine.

I understand that.  The brain turns circuits off so we don't physically react to dream scenes.  The usual scenario though is that I'm trying to wake up but my dream state convinces me there is a threat in my room (intruder) and I can't turn the circuits back on, so panic sets in.  And I have definitely experienced dreaming that I woke up only to realize that I was still dreaming.  My dad had the same experiences, I don't think it's uncommon.

Not totally off. No guarantees, but if you can focus on wiggling your fingertips, toes and deliberately moving your eyes; you may regain your sense of control.

Last time I found the sleep paralysis to be oddly peaceful once I knew what was happening.

It isn't definitely isn't uncommon. Wiki has a good page on it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sleep_paralysis

When I'm awake, I know it.  When I become aware that I am dreaming, I will be waking quite soon, so I have not much time for flying or whatever fun I might like.  The exception is the occasional "night terrors" where I'm aware I'm dreaming but can't move and have difficulty wakening.  These events are thankfully rare as they are typically quite horrific.

That is you protecting yourself from sleep walking and the like. Should be able to move the tips of your fingers still and calm yourself down that way.

One issue is that the vote was seemingly broadly fear driven. Fear of others, fear of losing ones national identity, fear of changing demographics (at least these factors were found to be the strongest predictors of pro-brexit vote in studies following the referendum). Any fact and data is screened through this lens and is filtered out when it runs to the contrary. 

One can also look at it from a cost-benefit perspective, where Brexiteers see a stronger control over immigration (and often associate it with a means to combat terrorism) as an overriding benefit, where other economic issues take a backseat. Or simply put, there is a belief that if the UK leaves the EU and restricts immigration the economy would somehow be boosted and easily overcome any negative outcomes. 

But if you mean the leadership, they effectively harnessed these fears.

A good post and very true though, as a US citizen, I was thinking more literally.

I guess I've just seen too many, "If we don't like it we'll just do X." statements.

Largely I am left thinking, "Really? You don't think others might have considered that possibility ahead of time? Not even once?"

It's just crazy. I am curious to see what this year and the following will bring.

The reason I asked, in case anyone was wondering, is that representatives of the USA have said that accepting chlorinated chicken will be a condition of any trade deal (They may, of course have been wrong).
People who are happy to leave the EU keep saying "It's OK- it will be labelled so, if you don't want it, you don't have to have it."
 

My best guess is that the USA will also insist on exporting its labelling laws to the UK (precisely because the chicken won't be traded if it's labelled)- so there will be no labels. (and once again, the Brexiteers will be shown to be talking through a hole in their hats).

That is what disturbs me the most.  Brexiteers appear to think that we're all stupid.

Not sure about sourcing and manufacture, but a perhaps suprising number of traditional UK brands are now owned by US multinationals too. Sales appear unaffected by this...

The logos for Lays and Walkers are the most ironic example of this.

The force which represent weight is one direction downwards opposed with small force upwards.Theses forces are not equal .The body will be at rest and no acceleration since it actually opposed by earth surface . in the case for instance the object accelerating into water , this is applied according to the calculation of what I suggested. Taking in consideration acceleration as well as water resistance

 

The Earth opposes with an equal and opposite force. You can show this by flipping a scale upside down, so you are on the bottom and the Earth is on top.

F = m₁a₁ = m₂a₂

Keeping in mind the Earth is far more massive so the acceleration it feels is corresponding far lower.

Your weight is divided between your two legs normally with the area of the foot helping to reduce the pressure(Force/Area) further. If the same force is spread over less area the pressure will naturally increase.

Got it thanks to the drawing.

Definitely possible. Make the exit of the tubes and their surroundings hydrophobic, that's vital. If not, water wetting beyond the exit would flow without stopping. Something should prevent items like fingers to touch the tubes' exit, or water would flow permanently.

Some fish species may accept altitude, for instance the ones living in Titicaca. But as far as possible, I'd try to avoid the underpressure, as it introduces one failure mode more and complicates operations. Just tubes thin enough should suffice. Check how high water climbs in capillaries, this tells you how deep water can be in your aquarium. 0.1m or 0.2m seem feasible.

I hope the aquarium is static? In a boat, a plane, a van... water could become higher at one side, increasing the pressure.

Will do. I have some supplies coming so I can make a better test model.

Was going to check on what fish might work best as well later. Ones that go to surface for air are definitely out, but not sure about effects of low pressures you mention or lack of a normal tank bottom. Once I'm further along on the design of the tank, there are some marine biologists I can ask.

May just go with a wholly static display instead. Perhaps some floating pumice stones and artificial plants in the top portion.

I'm planning to mount it up on a wall, possibly above a door way or arch for the best experience. Definitely not in anything moving lol.

Maybe I imagine your proposal wrongly, but as soon as water wets a larger surface below the hole, the capillary action is lost. Only the lower face acts then, as inefficiently as the same face without the hole.

If many drops joint, you also lose the benefit of a droplet with small radius. Together, they make a big drop with small curvature, where the surface tension is inefficient.

Or if you prefer, surface tension acts on surfaces while gravity acts on masses hence volumes. Surface tension works better on small scale, like droplets or capillary tubes. You can cheat a bit with fragmented surfaces, like a wick or a sponge.

If you can excuse my artistic skill, would look something the depiction below(with suitable valves and hydrolocks for care and maintenance).

Did see some of what you were talking about while filling the test model(cup). Seemed to depend on how it was being filled so not a huge issue.

Really I think has to be multipurpose to account for the more active REM period.

Now to convince my cat to stop asking to be fed at 3 AM...

Droplets also have a habit of falling in time.

So I suspect you also need to factor time into this as the water will eventually run out of any hole big enough to be visible.

I was thinking to reset periodically. Making up for lost water and expelling air that enters.

In theory could just break the vacuum for a second and release some of the water. Use the falling water to bring clean water in.

Still need to test what happens if something falls into one of the holes from the inside. Be embarrassing if brought down by fish poop.

The books I've seen made the simple calculation. Problem, I have seen no experiment report telling "the books were right", and unfortunately it often happens that authors put some model or theory and imagine that Nature has to follow it.

That is, if T is the liquid's tension and h the local height along a drop at the outlet, T*(d²h/dx²+d²h/dy²) gives you the maximum pressure difference, and it relates to the drop's radius. But I expect that the hole's material matters too, at least by restricting the angle of the drop where it exits the hole, hence the possible drop's radius. The shape beyond the hole must matter too, and definitely how far the exit is wetted. If a big area beyond the exit is wetted, the hole has no effect - which suggests the process isn't reliable or demands a special shape.

Frankly, if this question has any sort of consequence, I'd search for experimental data or make measurements by myself.

Thank you.

About what I was afraid of. Had some idea to apply the concept to create a suspended water aquarium, where larger holes would look better.

Does seem like should be more to it. You'd think the polarity would matter along with hole shape and roughness.

We've also seen shadows cast by hydrogen that ends up gravitationally attracted to it.

Like seeing the shadow of raindrops on a spider's web.

It's atmospheric pressure or gravity that is doing the work in first two examples. Air molecules will try to come in on all sides.

0 psig = 14.7 psia

you can go below zero on the guage but still have a positive pressure in absolute units.

You do see such issues when using a positive displacement pump. Those work the opposite way via cramming rather than use the weight of the atmosphere. They'll happily cause piping to burst or collapse.

Actually ( to be pedantic to a fault ), what the vast majority of existing clocks read, are the oscillations of a quartz crystal with an applied voltage.
This thread is just a variation of the "what is time ?" threads we usually encounter.

No, that's a valuable point.

It is really only the divisions of a span of time that we can measure(1/t).

ex.

-|-|-|-|-|

If the above is a span of 1 second, each oscillation is 1/5 of a second away from one another.  So counting 5 of these tells us 1 second has passed.

This clock would have a frequency of

5 hz

or simply put

5 oscillations per 1 second(5/s).

The time dilation equations suggest that particles moving infinitely close to the speed of light would slow down almost entirely.  As mass-less particles travel at the speed of light I make the assertion that they would experience zero time.  Is there an error with this logic?

You get division by zero at c for time taken, though the distance(based on the equations) does become zero.

The offspring is actually not part of my core question which is how does a painful situation in a healthy adult which centers around a brain response to stimuli modify that adults somatic cells?  This situation implies that an individual can by some unknown means determine what traits their offspring will have.  Like wishing for what you need and birthing it

Probably largely autonomous and limited. Only thing that makes is some kind of feedback loop.

Seems most concerned with passing on a snapshot of the current chemical environment.

Found an article saying:

The findings were also verified by comparing the epigenetic markers on the DNA of sperm, specifically on the gene responsible for detecting cherry blossoms. On the sperm of the cherry-blossom-fearing mice, there was less of the methylation that can silence genes, possibly pointing to a mechanism of how the information got passed down.

Thanks for responding but you seem to be detailing the changes.  In the mouse and the cherry blossom smell with electricity experiment the changes that are initiated in the mind are in some way effecting the sperm cells of the male mouse where a learned fear of smell that is housed in the mind travels to living unmutated sperm cells.   The changes are well documented in the offspring but what is missing is the method of change that begins in the mind as the offspring are endowed with a life extending fear of cherry blossom odor.  Note that zero evolutionary time is needed for this

Possibly the fear hormones released modify how the odor molecule is physically being detected by the offspring and that leads to their fear response in turn.

I don't think Trump would be considered a movie star.

He was in that Home Alone movie but yeah probably doesn't count.

Treat it like you would algebra.

This:

a * b/a * c/b = ?

is in the same format as this:

3.2 cm * 1 in / 2.54 cm * 1 yard/36 in = ?

Sit in a rolling chair and throw a heavy object. What happens?

 A rocket moves for the same reason.

It's hard to see how we will avoid the destruction of the NHS for a start. That's presumably worse than most people expected.

Agreed between compounding the labor shortages and drug prices I can't see it being sustainable at present levels of service.

I would have also thought WTO being down would have given leavers pause but apparently not. Any country can slap tarrifs on the UK specifically with no repercussions beyond the UK's own response.

"The Mandalorian"
This is the way, I have spoken.

Same here

Really captures the magic of the original trilogy.

Like grafting but to the root?

I dislike the design of the cargo area more than anything else. Looks more like a trunk than useable as a truck bed. I couldn't imagine hauling furniture around or having a couple of two-by-fours extending out the back of it.

Something more like the F-150 but electric, would capture the market better I think.

Definitely an interesting cyberpunk design otherwise though.

Didn't want to go into much detail of the dream but yes it was freddy Krueger. The wounds were consistent with something very sharp, in order for me to bleed and leave a scar for a few years. Sleepwalking is a possibility I suppose, but very unlikely.

Typically see the dreams reflect external reality rather than the other way around. You may have cut yourself against something and your brain interpreted the very real pain as in attack in your dream.

Should note that there are some oddball Dermatological disorders out there as well.
