Hey rossii, I can give you some advice in terms of how I dealt with it; but, don't take it as some Truth. When I first started working I had a hard ti...

You can go a little deeper and ask if the wavefunction is real and if so does that commit us to platonism.

And no I dont eat at KFC. I like to go to Subway on my lunch breaks.
February 10, 2017 at 16:55
Yes, I was too passionate about the issue. Happens.

Oh please, I'm not made of snow, guys. I never took offence to any of TimeLine's posts.
February 10, 2017 at 15:52
I'm sorry; but, your whole post is an appeal to authority. If the economics say that 1 MW of power from geothermal is cheaper than 1 MW from either (s...

So, I corresponded with one of the moderators and they want me to 'change' to get unbaned as I was informed this was a permanent ban. To what, I have ...

So, I've been reading that text and have a hard time coming to any conclusion... Something about it smells of mysticism.
February 10, 2017 at 04:38
Danke!

Uusally technology translates to efficiency gains, which leads to productivity gains, and with that lower costs or higher output depending on the goal...
February 10, 2017 at 04:15
Yes, I agree. The details of that study as to what sources were exactly utilized are unclear and ambiguous. However, the ambiguity should not be a rea...

So, trickle down is the theory that given large enough investments in some sector that the benefits derived from those investments will "trickle down"...
February 10, 2017 at 02:24
Where is trickle down when you need it? I am honestly waiting for the day when someone high up decides that the interests of the few lobbyists should ...

Bums can't lose any more than what they have lost already. They win by default.

I'm a night type, so when the hour passes around 7 is when my intellectual capacity turns on. I'll give it a thorough read then. In the meantime here ...

Did you see my post on the LCOE of geothermal energy? I think I disproved the claims made by the professionals on geothermal being inefficient in that...
February 10, 2017 at 01:08
Still trying to read through it. Forgive my slowness.

The fly got out of the bottle and the ladder was thrown away after stepping above it! How Wittgenstein must have felt the need to talk to this person.
February 09, 2017 at 20:01
Yes, he dearly loved David Pinsent. After he died he dedicated his Tractatus to him. Truly an act of a wonderful person. It seems Wittgenstein succeed...

You can take this to the extreme although thankfully we don't get those nut jobs around here, that blacks were 'inferior' to white's once upon a time ...

You got it all the wrong way. The mother now depends on the son, given her age. There are unmet expectations being babbled away here from my mouth or ...
February 09, 2017 at 19:51
It's a bad thing to judge, m'kay?
February 09, 2017 at 19:47
That's quite an argument to make that one must be from another culture to see things differently. I have lived in Europe for about 8 years and grant t...

Tell me, where did this source of neuroticism, which I might very well be displaying, originate from? ndrewk provided a partial answer; but, I am inte...

But what a life!
February 09, 2017 at 06:10
That's interesting about his sister. I feel sorry for them, all of them. The Wittgenstein's struggled immensily with the amount of intellect they had ...
February 09, 2017 at 06:09
Yay! So happy about feeling safe here at TPF. Happy dayz.

This is a fantastic view on Wittgenstein's life. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1LNTsle7UtM

It never ends, does it?
February 09, 2017 at 02:01
There you go again. What's wrong with idleness? Who or what get's to decide my poor conduct apart from my manager at work? You seem to have your super...
February 09, 2017 at 01:53
I think my point is that we're both the same age, similar problems, and similar interests, with the boat analogy. The hole in the boat are our problem...

As a Tractarian I am committed to solipsism. I am helpless, and wallow in my helplessness. 9. The self is not outside the world. (4&7) 10. The self do...

I think the sentiment presented in my eyes is to "conform". They really want me to read the forum guidelines.
February 09, 2017 at 01:40
Well, I have my name crossed out and I don't think I can post anything to any topic. Sad times.
February 09, 2017 at 01:37
None whatsoever.
February 09, 2017 at 01:33
Both.
February 09, 2017 at 01:26
Well, it's kind of like saying to your friend in the same raft with a hole in it 'We're pretty fucked mate.' To which you reply, 'Yeah no shit!'
February 09, 2017 at 00:10
Hahahaha. That's pretty harsh coming from you or wait is it me that's telling myself that I'm fucked. Now you've confused me thoroughly, haha.
February 09, 2017 at 00:08
I had a temporary ban for saying something to the matter of "If one cannot see the long term benefits of geothermal energy production then one is eith...
February 08, 2017 at 22:57
Not quite. I can refer you to this post that settled the matter. Whatever happened to geothermal energy production?
February 08, 2017 at 22:54
I'm a cannibalistic troll if you must know. I only troll trolls.
February 08, 2017 at 22:50
What is this an interrogation? Yes, I have been to college; but dropped out if you must know. I think I've stated that before in my post history, but,...

Actually, it takes a lot of talking to investors. And let's not kid ourselves, no one person can come up with all the nuances and details of a product...

You know... actually, I have some idea of how starting a company works. It takes talent in recognizing efficient means to achieve a goal, the power of...

What makes you say they aren't smart? I mean technically, the most psychopathic CEO is usually the most efficient one, does that make him the smartest...
February 08, 2017 at 15:19
Yeah, you need to stop doing that. Ranking people based on your table of who is smart or not. It distorts your view of reality.
