I’m gonna rephrase that for both of us, I think (hope):
We understand better what it is we don’t understand about them.

Who cares? They are sewer stench, and should be dealt with accordingly.

Live long and proosper!

But physics turns out to NOT be a smooth gradient, there are steps, aka quanta, that’s why they call it quantum physics or quantum mechanics, quantum electrodynamics and quantum chromodynamics.

At certain steps - not every step, but at certain mathematically defined points - thresholds are crossed and things behave differently, more energetic or complex phenomena emerge.

You joke, but it’s still a valid way of doing it.

If we are going be inquisitive in a systematic manner, we have to measure things in comparison, and to start doing that we had to start somewhere, in every single different field. Eventually we got to the speed of light as a constant, figured out the 1/137 fine structure constant, the helical configuration of DNA and RNA, etc., all starting from arbitrary suppositions, getting honed and adjusted by laboratory and thought experiments.

But has he heard of Isildur and his bane?
Bane… Brisbane?

Naturally artificial… artificially natural?
Sounds like something Nestle might try and get away with in the package labelling.

The different ways in which numbers slide up, down, sideways, diagonally.

Is the example in the post part of the fifth type of arithmetic?

1. Addition +
2. Subtraction -
3. Multiplication x
4. Division /
5. Modulo %

The first time I learned about modulo as its’ own branch of arithmetic was long out of school already, I had only hazily heard of it, on a PBS Nova documentary in the 1990s about Fermat’s famous theorem and when it was proven after centuries of failed tries.

10 stars, would watch this constellation again!

…and we only did it because there was a dick-waving contest between two nations.

If they’re gonna be handing out fake ass particles, I want a Thompson plum pudding model, please!

Probably the hope, not completely unfounded, that the migration from one “legacy” (from the 00s) platform to a more recent alternative service - twitter to Bluesky - will help inspire people in other legacy platforms to also realize that alternatives do exist now, they are part of a broader conversation that they weren’t a part of even two years ago.

Even a year and a half ago, this place felt like it hadn’t yet installed the drywall, the wiring and tubing was incomplete. Now it feels more seamless, ready for a spurt of growth.

“Hey… Bluesky isn’t all that bad, I’m glad to be out of the clutches of a billionaire asshole, and not feel utterly lost here”, now cue what OP believes a number of people will also think: “Hmm… maybe I’ll check out Lemmy, too. See what the alternative to reddit is like.”

Some of them could have tried it, didn’t like it, might come back and be like: “Hey, Lemmy’s not too bad since last I last looked a year ago”, and here’s a clincher that definitely wasn’t here a year and a half ago: “The app works pretty good”, and there are a lot of new apps, having a choice gives a sense and weight of legitimacy.

Wait till you find out about them putting uranium dust on orphanage porridge in the late 1940s-early 50s, to study the effects of radiation on humans. The fucking monsters took the kids to ballgames at Fenway in Boston, but they had to be good little children first, eat every last little bit of that porridge, leave their plates clean.

If a chick tract and Bazooka Joe loved each other very much and made a baby.

Well isn’t that cute… a government agent accusing a “dirty hippie” of doing the exact thing the government did to its’ own people - forcefully giving LSD to the unwitting and/or unwilling.

At least it’s the right way of fucked up.

You know what movie from around that same era really, well and truly fucked up a lot of young minds? The rapture and antichrist film Like A Thief In The Night, they used to screen that alarmist zealot propaganda POS at churches, did incalculable damage to many susceptible young (and old) minds.

Any day now… any day he’s coming… will you be… left behind?!!

Dudes: Whoa… epic!

No website clicks to the murdoch cancer new york post from me.

Here’s a Yahoo link instead.

Takes its’ long, sweet time, then gets really busy all of a sudden, don’t it.

Poetry needs more physicists who understand poetry, too!
In this case we end up with things getting called fun names like “quarks” instead of W- Boson and arid things like that.
