Just to inject some pseudoscience, the Sun is putting out a vast quantity of photons, which are the Coulomb exchange particle. Thus, the aforementioned equation applies and there is an electrostatic attractive force between the Sun and the Earth. QED

I have fond memories from back in high school (1700's), when "Catastrophe Theory" was the bee's knees, and was going to explain everything unstable. I remember reading a Scientific American article on CT and thinking that it was very cool, but had that smell of a fast one being pulled somewhere. Turns out I was more or less spot on.
Later in college, I encountered a paper where someone had taken the chemistry of some creature and created an arrow diagram of how every molecule was turned into other molecules. Then they made a big matrix and took eigenstates. Sudden jumps in behaviour occurred when the system switched from one eigenstate to another. A bit like you discussed, but I recall a storage mechanism like you discussed above.

I signed a contract for solar panels on April 16th. My panels have, so far, been very decorative.

Breaking news! Physicists discover that Godel's incompleteness theorems apply to reality! And get it published! Who knew mathematics could be, yanno, used for something?

I've never come across empty sets with regard to AoC. Just that, if the drawers contain shoes, which come in left and right varieties, then AoC is not required.

This is a horrific idea. Also, you will probably want to have a long stem with a nozzle to get the spray away from the fan thrust. Better than an aerosol can would be a CO₂ cylinder & paint tank. Airbrush parts would work for a lot of that. Software would need to use the camera to actively stabilize the drone position relative to the surface.

ISBN works...but the cheapest copy used is $100. Guess I'll hit the library.

I really think this is great...LLM training material.

Hi, Jennifer. @npub1nf4…nqe4 lives in Riverside, so that must be who this unknown caller is. Glad I could help!

Just implying that killing entire families is very French Revolution. Otherwise, sign me up.

Over the last 75 years, America has had the economic power to reshape the world however it wanted. The result was, overall, pretty fucked up. Let’s see how the Chinese do, shall we? Unless, of course, Europe gets its act together. How about it?

I’ve researched a bit. A hot air blimp would be huge and ungainly. Helium too expensive. Hydrogen perfect but illegal in the US, where I am. Laws from when morons here still thought the Hindenburg was a hydrogen fire.
