I actually think I could be on time thanks to the extension as well but it feels shoddy so far. But whatever. Let's see how people enjoy something a b...

Philistine!

This. Fuckin' Yay! A lot of fucks will at least be given instead of none.

I'm going to log off and turn my dumb phone on from tomorrow. Nothing to write on and send it on time.

It looks like I will not be able to complete my short story on time because I'm on holidays.

Yes, the league of "too stupid not to get caught".

Oh, just wait until it slightly cools of again since we might be in the top of the current Solar Cycle and then all the denialists will be "it was the...

Yes, it's quite clear people like to add water to wine until finally you'll have faintly grape flavoured water that some will insist is wine.

The category shows up as if there's something new there but when I open the category only this thread is there.

That's exactly what happened in Sweden. The purchase was illegal, the sale wasn't. :up:

how's your Dutch? :wink:

:razz: Meta-observations don't count. A haiku ought to be self-contained. Relax. Rustling leafs dance in disorderly whispers, my disquiet grows. .

Failed. It's in English and it doesn't concern an observation leading to an insight. Kudos on the meter though.

The point is that not rhyming in Japanese is harder due to the structure of its language. So an English haiku to me is kind of pointless, deterioratin...

Haiku only in Japanese then? It doesn't make sense in English because most words don't rhyme whereas this is the other way around in Japanese. The ski...

Sorry, I just heard your were disqualified for advertising your work before voting.

I vote both as "I enjoyed it".

Indeed! I was too quick as this was reflexive because I read this in every contract I have to review and I hate it for its ambiguity.

You're not my special friend either. That's the baseline in online relations. So I'm not sure why it bothers you when people positively deviate from t...

it's just "or" and not the ugly "and/or". *shudders* "Or" operates as an inclusive disjunction making the statement true when one or both statements a...

The wage inflation spiral is total nonsense. If my bread is made up of grains, water, oven time, heating, bakery space etc. and labor, and the price o...

My choices have nothing to do with me pointing out the fact that bio-dynamic farming leads to better results. It's an important fact in light of large...

recent research in the Netherlands: Biodynamic farming turns out to have better soil quality and therefore higher yields of crop without spending any ...

Nothing to see here. Carry on.

Interesting how your can theoretically pardon yourself. Very ethically sound.

I'm merely stating what the epistemological claims can be. That has no bearing whatsoever as to philosophical realism or not.

That the event is certain to you in your frame of reference is irrelevant to my frame of reference. For us to exchange that information at (sub-)light...

:rofl:

If that's not immediately apparent, I think you have to read up a bit more on GR in general. You can in any case Google it by combining search terms.

Maybe this helps: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light_cone

You think it's peculiar that in a setup where event A follows B, where one person moves towards those events, that person will see A before the other ...

Your statement assumes a privileged frame of reference. It's not coherent within the context of relativity theory.

I don't see anything peculiar about it. Let's assume it's Ann and Bill again, where Ann moves with 5 m/s towards the Andromeda Galaxy. To simplify it,...

"Uhuh... co-mingled is the word". Don't know why that stuck out to me. I also love his defence is "I was too busy to comply with the law".

Maybe start out smaller and see if you still have a problem with it. This just extrapolates what we know happens at smaller scales and then it doesn't...

I thought you were asking how? The formula explains how. Although obviously not different universes but different reference frames.

See the formula in my previous post as to how. They don't. You can't perceive something 2.5 million light years away that is simultaneous with what yo...

Simultaneity is frame of reference dependent. Since they do not share the same frame of reference, they don't need to refer to the same event happenin...

Jesus. Political opponents are now enemies and a mainstream newspaper uses that language as if it's normal. And none of you seem to have an issue with...

About 30 years too late.

Markets isn't capitalism. There's a decent thread on this forum on the subject. I think it's called "what capitalism isn't".

Oh, I do think there are some issues to address but I think we can address them without condemning transsexuals or transgenders. Some policy suggestio...

Oh, don't bother discussing it then.

And yet liberalism, which seems to be your moral framework, aims to set the rules for entire communities. Or do you have another idea apart from that?...

There's nothing hostile about raising levies on certain types of products or products from certain countries. This already happens with anti-dumping d...

I don't know about the US but this argument doesn't fly in the Netherlands. Mostly because what appears similar usually isn't, when taking into consid...

What does she mean? If the questioner clarifies what she means, you can actually give an answer, instead of trying to guess what it means and then end...

That doesn't make sense to me. First of all, demand is driven mostly by consumer society "the rich North", which are countries that have managed to al...
