I got a major award today (plaque, not a sexy leg-lamp) for my "staunch defense of USNO's interests" in a project I'm working on

Guys! Guys! Guys! One of my short stories has been published on YouTube!!! Illustrated and voiced by ai!!! I am thrilled!

Just shared a lecture with a Nobel prize winner. Feels weird.

One thing that has become apparent after watching the Capital be over run by insurgents seeking to tear down our government is that across this great land a great many towns and villages are missing their Idiots...

Cora Louise! Granddaughter #3 born today. My siblings and I now have 10 grandchildren between us. All 10 are girls. 😍

I don't have Covid 19! test came back negative! Looks like just plain old viral pneumonia! That 104 fever was a bitch! Feeling better now! All I need now is a flight back to NC, CA is nice but home is nicer!

Hey Science people. Caught myself lurking here more and more and I realized how much I enjoy rational people with critical thinking skills, so i decided to log in to say thanks. Shout-out to any of the old regular posters lurking out there.

Wishing everyone and their loved ones happiness and a very merry Christmas. Even if you are not religious, in the words of Tiny Tim "God bless us, everyone"

I spend a lot of time watching youtube videos and I've noticed that some of the less reputable sites are using buzz words to try and get you too watch lately "massive" seems to be the word of choice ie " Scientists have observed something massive near the Sun" or " Scientists have observed something massive on the Moon" I am just waiting for "Scientists have observed something massive emerging from Uranus"

Received my first Moderna vaccination tonight. The pharmacy had a handful leftover they needed to stick in someone by the end of the night. 😁

I realize everyone is probably isolating due to the virus, but I do hope everyone and their families have a very merry Christmas. Give thanks for what you have, be happy, and stay safe.

Did you notice that evryone is betting on Nevada right now? BETTING on NEVADA?!

15 minutes into this I'd thought I'd share it here in with my friends: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s78hvV3QLUE

Lesson learned, for the umpteenth time: Buy cheap, pay twice.

Defended my thesis in front of the examination board. They were very pleased, found both the thesis and the presentation excellent, appreciated my direct and to-the-point answers to their questions ... Couldn't ask for more! 8 February is verdict day ...

Our 18 month old became recently as distructive as a black hole. He grabs things, imediately runs away at light speed laughing like an evil space lord and boom - the object is gone into oblivion. He fell asleep, we wanted to watch a movie but I can’t get the amp to work... aparently the evil space lord took care of that too.

Dad will be allowed to pass in two weeks, when his life support is to be stopped, on the advice of the expert's the family has decided that Jesus better get his skates on and forgive the ol' bugger. RIP the day after yesterday... 😉

RIP David Warner, who was Evil. And our esteemed moderator's public face.

Beecee, as soon as you get to 2022, tell us about it. I'm not taking any chances.

Merry Christmas. Buon Natale. Feliz Navidad. Joyeux Noel. ...and stay safe ...

Reflect on this and grant us the mercy of your own self-reflection. You may or may not have found god, but you have not found the way. Peace and blessings to you, Duolingo might help you explain yourself more clearly. Right now, I don't think you are saying what you want to mean.

I am building a large styrofoam background for my 75 gallon aquarium to allow me to use plants as filters. Can I post the picture on here and if so where?

My thought today: The point at which some people stop paying attention to what someone has said is sometimes more revealing than their answer. Thus, what they don't mention can be more relevant than what they do.

Hey mate, Have you tried using bone conducting headphones? When you are out on your bike, you can hear the music and listen out for traffic as well. I bought a set, but the volume is not great. However, they work.

Finally graduated magna cum laude as an MD. Although I have received the wonderful opportunity to specialise in neurosurgery, being a neurosurgery resident is just a dog's life I could not lead for the lengthy duration it has. Because of lots of reasons, I've decided to carry on as an aspiring future anaesthesiologist.

Hi Function, how goes it with you and Belgium?

Hi guys, I am in sunny California where oranges grow on trees in people's yards and evidently it never really rains! I flew out here to see my son and grandchild and help them get their house upacked and set up. My dad died days before I arrived andIfound out I had inherited al of his properties... Sort of... But he didn't leave a will so everything is in "probate" and all his properties will be sold to settle his debts and I have to make sure this gets done. I named my son executor of his estate, my son volunteered btw. I feel like I went on vacation only to find the sword of damacles floating over my head. Fun fun in sunny CA!

C'est la vie.

Good Brexit trade centric AMA, well worth a read. AMA Dmitry Grozoubinski

I am a grandpa! Eleanor Louise 8lbs 8oz! Mother and child are doing well!

The Notre-Dame cathedral is burning down right this minute. It is sad to watch an 850 year old monument go up in smoke. Apparently the big wooden steeple which was 70 meters high was constructed with lots of lead elements so as soon as the structure caught minor heat it all went like domino. I’ve been to Paris twice and never had a chance to see the cathedral, stupid me.

I'm gonna be a Grandpa!

For once, I passed all my exams with great distinction, and my thesis specifically with greatest distinction Let's hope my internships (starting March until July 2020) can help me finish my Master with great distinction ...

Me and nancy 40 years ago .

Well I'm back, almost three weeks of Hurricane and after math. My blog post about it here http://blogs.scienceforums.net/moontanman/2018/10/02/hurricane-florence/ It has been 19 days of destruction fear, terror and boredom.

Promotor (specialist in nuclear medicine) called my thesis literature review chapter on positron emission tomography "very sound and accurate" and was very satisfied with it. Made my day!

Just worked out "your mum" in the closed Ligo thread

Does anyone know if imatfaal is ok?

This is so very cool! https://futurism.com/videos/see-a-real-quantum-levitator-in-action/?

I love to dive on this jetty, I've done it so many times I recognise some of the larger rocks!

Death Is Only The Beginning.

DrP, May I remind you that who I wish to please, and who I wish to help is my decision, not yours. If there are people less fortunate than you, that you wish to help, please do so. I pay my taxes and give to charity and volunteer in the local community. I care about the place. I do not have unlimited funds and have to watch out for my retirement and the security of my wife. Liberals are very liberal with other people's money. Don't try and shame me into giving my money to other people's children. Those lives are the responsibility of their parents. They are just as fortunate to be in this country as I am. Regards, TAR

One of the rockets I created had a failure and failed to deploy the parachute when it started it's decent(large model rockets). It proceeded to crash land, destroying the nose cone. However most of it was salvageable. I'm going to try to find a way to make the parachute deployment more reliable.

I am sure you will make many friends here if you are sincere.

HOORAY - I AM A GRANDAD! Three years of gloom are pierced by a light in the form of my granddaughter. I am over the moon with joy!
