! Moderator Note Discussion has that advantage, certainly, but only when one listens rather than lectures. Unfortunately, you aren't discussing this, so nobody is learning anything they really need to. Discussion would mean you actually incorporate comments from others in your replies. Instead we see an outlined lecture series you obviously don't want any critique on. Please go elsewhere to do this kind of blogging. Nobody is interested in that format here. This is a science discussion forum. Thread closed.

Don't worry, patience is not an issue, at least not in my case. But I think the forum rules still apply, you can't keep blogging and hope for questions to self-resolve in some distant future. I have reread the posts so far and I can't find that my questions are adressed. The addition of doppler in the last revision does not add clarification regarding issues raised earlier. Basic question: Can you please post the complete set of postulates used in your "related experiments"-idea? There is no need to repeat the whole "fresh look" stuff, just tell the postulates and, if necessary, how they deviate from the postulates used in SR. What you have posted so far does seem to match SR predictions, it is not a "fresh look" of SR and it is not an alternative point of view of SR. In my opinion clearly stating the postulates you use and how your postulates differ from SR may help bring the discussion forward. Since you state that SR is an offshoot of Electromagnetic Theory I guess that your postulates must differ from SR in some way; when deriving certain relativistic effects from your postulates we see how electromagnetism comes into play in some way that deviates from the mainstream SR.

So I'm sitting here as rain is pouring down, collecting in puddles, raising the water table, and filling aquifers to the point of almost flooding and I'm just thinking about all the areas in the U.S. that are facing drought. My first thought is, do I really have this excess of water here that I think we do? Is the ground supersaturated with water or has it just not filtered through yet? My second thought is, if there really is all this excess water and flooding, why can't we send it to the drought stricken areas? We have oil and gas pipelines that crisscross our nation, why can't we do the same with water and fill up Californian reservoirs? Just some thoughts. I would love to hear expert and more well thought out opinions on the matter.

Yes. But personally I would not bother. Why not create a 500x500 pixels picture in Paint and then paste the text using paint's Text tool? If you absolutely have to create a program, can you use something like pillow* and ImageDraw?. Pseudo code, untested: from PIL import Image, ImageDraw image = Image.new('RGB', (500, 500), color = (255, 255, 255)) drawer = ImageDraw.Draw(img) drawer.text((10,10), "Content From TextFile", fill=(255,255,0)) https://pillow.readthedocs.io/en/stable/

It is not clear what this means. (Clearly specifying what you want to do is 90% of the work in programming; the rest is just syntax.) What is the text file? In other words, what does it contain? How does it relate to the image file you want to create? Is 500x500 measured in pixels or some other units? That program appears to read several gif files and combine them in one. I can't see how this is related to your initial description of what you want to do. it depends. Are you using mages that are already this size? Are you scaling an existing image to this size? Are you creating a new image of this size?

What do you guys have? Perrier faucets? Regular treated water for households is nowhere near that cost.

You seem to convince yourself of horrific outcomes for simple events, Bmpbmp1975. ( doomsdayscenariophobia ? ) Must be terrifying living in your world, so you probably don't leave the house much. Are we your only source of social interaction ?

As to the claim that a stable element 115 is needed to produce anti-protons... There are several known decay modes that produce anti-matter; the best known is, of course, Beta+ decay which produces positrons. How exactly this would produce gravity 'waves' ( ? ) or anti-gravity ( ?? ) is in the realm of science fiction. ( as are the rest of B Lazar's claims )

Which astroid you are looking for information about? I guess its 52768 1998OR2. 1: Look at ESA web as an alternative to NASA: http://neo.ssa.esa.int/search-for-asteroids?sum=1&des=52768 1998OR2 2: Click on orbit visualisation to get a simulation for the asteroid's orbit an distance from earth Now , if you do not trust ESA or NASA I guess you could buy a sufficiently large telescope to review the observations claimed by others. And/or learning the required math (or using a simulator) to verify that the observed trajectory will predict that 52768 1998OR2 safely passes earth without collision. But why bother? What reason is there to suspect that 52768 1998OR2 is dangerous?

We weren't going to tell you yet... but since you figured it out...just don't tell the others (there's still a small percentage in every country that aren't in on it)

You mean the SR thread that was on its sixth page and was started in Nov of last year? The one where a number of people, including myself, were begging the OP to stop with their delay tactics and get to the point? As Strange has already noted, that's precisely how threads are treated, and more so in speculations. Going off on a tangent to have a discussion of some other point is hijacking. Tangents that persist more than a post or two are usually split off, or trashed (and possibly a warning issued) if it's egregious. The way it's supposed to work is that the OP posts something, and you respond to the OP. You're not supposed to raise questions not directed at the OP, other than clarification of answers already given. In speculations this is especially important, because the OP is typically introducing a new take on some science, and nobody else has insight into their thinking. People butting in to start new discussions will sidetrack things pretty quickly. A lot of times we do this. People were begging the OP to answer their questions and get to the point for some time. Plus, the OP posted their "last post on this topic" twice. This would seem to be a Fletch/Mr. Babar definition of sudden. Dr. Joseph Dolan: You know, it's a shame about the thread. Fletch: Oh, it was. Yeah, it was really a shame. To be closed so suddenly like that. Dr. Joseph Dolan: Ahh, it was dying for months. Fletch: Sure, but... the end was really... very sudden. Dr. Joseph Dolan: It was in intensive care for eight weeks! Fletch: Yeah, but I mean the very end, when it was actually closed. That was extremely sudden!

Good point. With the work-from-home rules we are following my wife asked if I could work from someone else's home! 🤪

A very good point that also applies to other nations right across the globe. I wish others would think like you. My view is there is a lack of politcal will / organisation not a lack of physical resources to achieve this. If you were dying of thirst in the desert which would you value more A pint of water or a ton of gold?

Depends on what I am writing. For a technique paper I'd go for methods. Otherwise intro and discussion provide context and relevance.

" mass manufacturing of PM products did not begin until the mid or late 19th century" From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Powder_metallurgy#History_and_capabilities tells us that it would have been a well established technology by the late 20th Century. So , yes, it would have been trivially easy to do it in 1979 (I have to admit I misread "tholium" as thulium. ) Mixing real elements is usually easy. Mixing in stuff that doesn't exist is more difficult. Well, maybe he couldn't, but I could. Do you want to believe me, or the guy who declared himself incompetent?

I think by now interactions will or should be severely limited. As others have said, it should be taken seriously, if not a a risk to yourself it poses to those you interact with. There are already a ton of good advise posted basically everywhere (keep distance, wash hands, do not touch your face etc.). Trying to remove infectious material should also help. One should try to avoid touching things with our hands (e.g. opening doors hands-free if possible, use elbows to operate switches or doors etc.). One of the habits I picked up during lab work is to use the non-dominant hand as designated "dirty" hand (assuming that you are less likely to touch yourself with that hand, which might not be true for everyone) and then make a fist with that hand whenever you are not using it (I often imagine holding something in the fist). I try to keep it up until I disinfect/glove/whatever needs to be done. What I also train students is to lock their hands when they are not supposed to touch anything (e.g. when they are gloved) to keep them from touching themselves, their clothes and so on.

You are free to defend this in a thread in speculations You mean like stuff you posted in the other thread? That I debunked?

This might be interesting to you. CPU usage per thread. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/26238184/cpu-usage-per-thread Just use if thread th1 is alive then th1.get_cpu_percent(), render to string. Repeat with th2. Print final string.

I prefer to have result fast.. As long as algorithm allows for easy migration to MT. Thanks to multithreading you can have results 8x/12x/.../48x/96x faster than on single thread.. depending how many cores/cpus are available. Yet another level of making code harder to maintain and to read is migration to multi thousands GPU cores.. I was thinking about single while loop for both threads with separate cpu usage for each thread.. If thread is alife get cpu usage of thread, repeat with second thread, merge strings, print.

Can you provide something more rigorous? Learning to express and/or understand (in plain english, using math, pseudocode or other suitable method) the requirements or needs is in my opinion central to solving programming tasks. I recommend using your questions as exercises.

It's incredible what's happening in Italy!! The previous government stopped immigration. A political rebellion created a new government(two monthes before covid-19 beginning) and reopened immigration. But now they stopped immigration because of covid-19!! (It seems a real miracle!!!) Is God against muslim immigration in Europe? Is God against Bergoglio(the Pope) who prayed for immigration?
