Einstein might have something to say about that. Not necessarily a counter argument. But something for sure. Or maybe his chauffeur...

Actually there are whole segments of science that deal with the problem of observation. Many things are altered by the very act of observing. Some of those are easy to understand. Like photons being used to observe things will drastically alter subatomic particles. Other are a complete mystery.

I am not qualified in the sciences, just what I've picked up a long the way.

Yeah, I completely agree. Except I feel like posting the automod screenshots should be the expected norm, not something that pokes the bear. That just seems like accountability to me.

I am no fan of American conservatives. But that doesn't mean I can't take criticism about all aspects of politics and consider the different viewpoints. Like you said, unacceptable for a news community to do this.

I recognize this as English.

I'll have to look into everything you said here. I may be old, but I'm always game to learn new tricks. Thanks.

Repeated days without enough sleep is the real problem. It catches up on you. Sleep debt is cumulative over a week or more.

Yeah. That's why I still give it an upvote. Mods shouldn't be deciding what information we get to process in a news community. News and data is new and data. This optional truth is getting out of hand in every political direction.

Doing the good work here. Balanced and fair reporting in a see if dishonesty. (No, this isn't sarcasm)

Thanks!

I met this girl working for the summer in a resort town (both employees at the same place). At first I didn't think she was my type, but we kept getting into conversations no matter what we were doing. An acquaintance suggested that I ask her out and we could all hang out watching a movie (we were all just out of highschool). That was a mistake because it was ghetto af. Turned out the friend (ok she was an ex, but she was in a relationship) was interested in getting back with me and was trying to sabotage my chances with this girl. That night I leaned in for a little hug as I dropped her off at her doorstep (next door to my own). She aggressively shoved her hand out to shake mine. I was full of red flags and she was right to push back.

We've been married for 20+ years now.

Obviously there is a lot more to that story but seriously looking back I cannot understand how I ended up with this amazing woman. I was an absolute mess of a person and she sort of saw through that and gave me something to work for. But I caution anyone thinking they can fix someone or use my experience. It just flat out doesn't work that way. My marriage had the odds of working that winning the lottery has. It did, but it was absolutely wreckless for us both at the time and we are incredibly fortunate we didn't destroy our lives and our kids lived in the process.

Edit: autocorrect nonsense

How do you patch to remove ads?

Just yesterday I had my locomotive catch on fire (I drive trains). After hours of dealing with the fire department, and then getting new engines brought out and set up to replace it so the train could get moving again, we got in the van to go home. And what did I see on a huge big screen TV inside the house next to where we were dealing with all of this? Mario64.

Air conditioner. Split HVAC system is the kind that has an external evaporator that connects to a small wall mounted inside heater/air conditioner with just a small pipe. So you don't have to give up a window, and it uses an extremely efficient heat pump to both cool in the summer, and heat on the winter. Some of them don't heat.

But old people like me quote cliches with wreckless abandoned. And don't feel guilty about at all.
