Simple things that tend to confuse you...
DC Tom replied to Another Fan's topic in Off the Wall Archives
Gluon self-interaction. I mean...electron self-interaction, that's obvious: the photon is the gauge particle of the electromagnetic field, so electron self-interaction is the electron emitting a photon that it then reabsorbs. But the gauge particle that caries color in QCD is the gluon. So for a gluon to self-interact...is it emitting another gluon? If another gluon is involved, is it really self-interaction? Can a fermionic gauge particle truly self-interact? Because they're both derivatives of the Chinese logogram kai-tsep. "Ketchup" is more accurate phonetically, whereas "catsup" is a more accurate written transliteration. -
Let's not forget to wish a Happy Father's Day to all the fathers that have given birth...

Occasi-Cortez Channeling the Rent's too damn high guy

How much child porn did they recover? How many missing First Nation women? -
Probably just no one's reporting it. The mods don't pay any attention down here, I think, they rely on us to report for them.

Canadian Green New Deal advocates. AOC is exporting this ***** now? -
Bi-Partisan Support For Impeachment

Let's list all the major news outlets that covered this: Bloomberg That's it. -
There was a noise. Most people reported hearing it, but mistook the first shot for a firecracker or backfiring car.

Not that. That's not a very credible piece of evidence. Witnesses are idiots, and he's not even a witness - he's giving a second- or third-hand report of something someone else claims to have seen. Only thing I'd trust is the formal evaluation of the ships' damage (which I won't see). You can actually tell a lot from the pattern of damage and fragments of weapon left behind (I've read such reports from WWII, even back then it was spooky what they could discern.)

This is the one and only time I can believe Jones. This guy is such a ***** whack-a-doodle that I can't see him using up valuable server space for child porn at the expense of all his endless conspiracy crap. "Hell, I'll just make space for my kiddie pictures by deleting these 9/11 video analysis files here. That was almost 20 years ago, no one cares any more." Yeah, that never happened. Conspiracy theories are his porn, not kids. -

Trump Wants To Regulate Google

Related: Tech Billionaire to Joe Rogan: ‘The Left Has Won the Culture Wars. Now They’re Just Driving Around Shooting Survivors.’ . PJ Media? Seriously? I don't like them...but they're innocuous. Blacklisting them is ridiculous. You know what this is, right? It's the silencing of any media channel that might favor Trump in 2020. It's election manipulation writ large. -
No. The bottom line is that a huge chunk of the research isn't portable. When you've teams of UMD profs and grad students, and USDA researchers in the field studying agricultural pollution remediation on a three acre tract of land on the USDA research campus, you can't just pick it up and hand it off to the University of Missouri.

The R&D functions they're talking about moving heavily cooperate with UMD and JHU, and for that reason would suffer for being moved. The rest of the functions are administrative BS that can be done just about anywhere. Source: both my brother and I used to work there.

That's hilarious. Right, @Tiberius?

How can you say that, living in a day and age when you might be called by your non-preferred pronoun or be forced to take a leak in the wrong toilet?
