Of course I hope you are right, but if after the past decade and everything that has happened, that has been said, this election seems to be in a dead heat instead of Harris/Waltz winning by anything other than a landslide, I hold no illusions about the intelligence and decency of the “average” american voter, these people are already dead inside, or at least not too far removed from illiterate medieval peasants, easily dazzled by bullshit and god-kings with magic political wands… abraca-fucking-dabra.
It’s David and Nathaniel, not… wait…
This is what happens when you try and solve the Riemann Hypothesis with English words.
“How quaint”… cracks knuckles, proceeds to type a hundred words a minute with all ten fingers on a QWERTY board.
A specific vibration or position of the atoms, containing the information of changes in movement…
That’s high-tech indeed, but still sounds like classical physics to me, even with the ultra-cold temperatures involved, no Uncertainty Principle at play.
Argh! Edited the title, thank you for the correction.
Anyway, I believe they freeze lithium atoms very near Absolute Zero, so the electrons slow down, but because of the Uncertainty Principle, the lithium atoms’ orbitals expand and overlap, creating a sort of gel where they can trap photons (I imagine from a laser) and slow them down to zero.
They commodified it and sold it back to Satan on a t-shirt.
This picture goes hard soft.
Now this sort of thing is precisely what I’ve always thought about when the term “Rococo” gets bandied about.
Look at OP! He will heroically sit on his lazy heroic ass and heroically do nothing… just like always, enamored of the scent of his own heroic flatulences… just like always, as the racist shitkickers get to take the nation on another hellish joyride fueled by ignorance and hatred!
Boy oh boy, I sure do LOVE the smell of my own purity! Aren’t I the BEST THING EVER™️? Why am I so special and savvy and canny?!!
Ted Stevens.
“The internet… isn’t a dump truck. It’s a series of tubes.”
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?!!
Buy it at your local Fleetwood Mart.
I think this was Blake’s most famous piece, before Thomas Harris’ book “Red Dragon”, that’s when Blake’s dragon jumped into the public perception by an order of magnitude at least.
Criterion has always been like that. But their presentation, design and packaging is always top-notch, their selection of artistically important movies they keep alive and healthy and in circulation truly feels like a labor of love and is worthy of praise.
With Criterion, it’s worth it.
And under socialism in the 20th century, science was an institution that only funds research that advances whatever narrative the hermetic powers-that-be decided to push and strengthen their grip on power, their obsession with secretiveness and projecting an image of infallibility.
Take the Soviet Union.
T.D. Lysenko and his crackpot food engineering ideas is one such glaring example. But boy oh boy could he talk a “toe the party line” game and suck up to Stalin.
Or how about how the kremlin rendered nearly one quarter of Kazakhstan uninhabitable due to their relentless nuclear testing. And they nearly did that for all of western Europe with Chernobyl.
In the name of workers and science, we shall poison your land. Science for the workers’ paradise, rejoice, comrades!
Aw hell yeah, Sparkomatic!
