I mean... be an experimentalist and break it down.

Take your coat out and shake it, then put it back in the closet. See if dog comes.

If yes -> hypothesize this is the trigger for dog to come...

I'd lean toward hearing. Predators tend to have excellent hearing.

Dogs smell much better than humans, but the "speed of smell" is a complicated matter of fluid dynamics, and I'm hard pressed to...

broken link?

The weak interaction is the only hypothesis I know of that uses currently known physics to explain why there is an abundance of matter and not anti-matter in the universe. Basically, as bad-ass as...

Here's an article by Fermilab - much less dumbed down, but still dumbed down.

What is the muon discovery?

It's that there's been an experiment running at multiple locations to test a vibrational (rotational?) movement of muons in a magnetic field (I think). The Standard...

OK, so this is a couple years old, but I only just came across it. It's blowing my mind.

At first, I was like... that technique is off the charts...

Heh. I was half-listening I guess. Oops. Pretty shameful to quote so badly out of context. Feels bad, man.


No, not gone. Just ... IDK ... feeling like sometimes I'm my dumbest self on FTR. ...

"In the short-term, the long-term impact is not good"

Sheesh.

I'm pretty much the same as spoon, but I do need some mixed environments and social stimulus to maintain sanity, and as much as I like to stay at home and mess about on my computer, I do need a...

Some humans are innately egalitarian, and other humans are innately authoritarian.

Ignoring either group is not going to work in the long run.

There will always be charismatic people who excel...

I don't intervene in other mod's activities or decisions.

You're free to do whatever you like, here, and I'll adapt. I wouldn't even be a mod if not for you. Do what ya like.

He wasn't talking shit, though. He told a story, and chose which facts to relay directly in relation to the story and which to relay tangentially to the story. He didn't leave any facts out, like...

I gotta agree with ong on this one.
It was obvious in the first post what he meant.

That's twice in recent memory you're toeing the line a bit more - assertively? - than your norm.
You're off...

Moving this discussion over here, as it doesn't belong in the MEGA thread.

This is a perspective that I want to embrace and really let it be my center as a starting point to examine all political...

No one said anything about anyone's right to speak out on anything.

All I said was that no one has the right to my time when expressing their opinions.


FYI, one of my ex's got an abortion of...

OK. I didn't word that well. My bad.


More likely that is exactly what I'm seeking.


Even a broken clock, eh?
Planned Parenthood has moved far from those racist beginnings, IMO.
FYI, my...

I mean... I want to clarify that I'm not interested in understanding the bonehead Right perspective (nor the bonehead Left perspective).
I'm not asking you to catalogue the state of political...

Goddamn you can turn a phrase.

The abortion debate in the US has been stagnant for over 100 years. The lines haven't changed. The arguments haven't changed. The realities haven't changed. ...

... but didn't the entirety of the Russian involvement boil down to some Facebook pages and other social media tomfoolery? Like... that was the extent of it, right?

So it was really nothing like...

Sorry if I made it seem like I was trying to debate anything. I'm not interested in debate.
I'm interested in growing as a person and understanding what people who passionately disagree with me are...

Not really going to answer what is not really a question, I suppose.

I wonder what centrifugal force corrections you need when the spacetime is being frame dragged along with the rotation.

Thanks for the answers.

Didn't Ted Cruze vote against Trump in the 2nd impeachment? Or do I have that crossed in my head?

I'd have agreed with you that it could have...

Is the continued denial of the legitimacy of the 2020 election by some Republican leaders part of this, or related to the split?

What do they stand to gain by undermining the legitimacy of US...

Oof.

That's a shade beyond impolite, IMO. Reign it in a smidge.
