Say"Hi" to God for me.

Yes, "Popular". My tastes were/are more niche (not popular in the mainstream sense) but I do like some rap with respect to the rhythm and flow.

The "greatest" is always about the time of ones formative years. For me, it was the rock/blues guitarists of the 70's.

She gets "raped" and was still attending parties in the same social scene? Whatever the case may be, every position, regardless of the prevailing fashionable sentiments for the MeToo movement, must be viewed dispassionately... just as they would be in a court of law. This is not a court case but the bar should be set the same in this case.

I think he's referring to Sweetnick

Its component superclusters are individually bound but not as a group. I think if you look at the universe's cobwebby structure on the large scale, the web strands that the SCs make up get thinner and further apart with the expansion; the voids between the strands become larger.

The Laniakea SC is not gravitationally bound.

Yeah, I was being absolutely simplistic. What are thermal neutrons; are there other types? I presume it's how they are generated that defines their type..

As the universe expands, its energy is being diluted over a larger volume; it is cooling. Its final destiny is probably heat death.

I'm in a good mood.

It would seem that a lot of erasers are a rubber-type matrix with an abrasive embedded in it. Ozone, sunlight and general oxidation from air can break that matrix down that gives it rigidity. Think of old tyres with the cracks in the side walls; that's the matrix breaking down. In your case, it looks like it broke down into a mush rather than into bits.

A nuclear reactor is basically hot metal with some coolant taking the heat away. A lot of the bulk is with materials and equipment to contain and use the nuclear material safely.

The average temperature is decreasing as the universe expands, so, if you reverse the process, it will increase. Does that make sense?

Snap! One is not as elastic as one used to be.

OK.

The 'logic' is in the laws of nature that determine how things behave, along with a good dollop of probability.

A cramp is usually short term. This is over a week. Muscle strain probably. There are a few injuries that come under that umbrella term, which would likely need a doc to be specific. It's tendons that anchor muscle to bone. Ligaments link bone to bone.

The lingering pain part is inflammation, which is a response to injury

Which she hasn't done, clearly. What's going to happen will happen.

We can't control the narrative that passes through peoples heads. She's condemning the youth that was in her past not the man he is today.

I don't think she's lying but, deep down, I find it highly disturbing that she chooses this point, many years into the future, to destroy a persons's reputation at a critical point in his career. It smells of a politically-motivated move to stop a conservative candidate. I find myself in conflict because you really don't need another conservative judge and this is one way to do it but, on the other hand, he's a highly accomplished person, irrespective of his politics, who has conducted himself properly apart from an immature moment when he was a youth. Is a person to be condemned for the rest of their life for such an immature moment. Maybe this is the future and we must all act like virginal nuns from the day we are born unless we want to be subjected to 'trial by internet' at some later stage. The overarching point, I feel, is that peoples actions are increasingly, in the internet age, having no sell-by date and they are being preserved in perpetuity, never allowing a person the possibility to change and grow. A biblical reference: Let he who is without sin cast the first stone.

Maybe she never figured that one in her calculations. Quite honestly, it's pathetic, she was 16 and he was 17 and he's now 53 and she's 52.

Anything to do with 'wimmin' and the knives get sharpened. I'm thinking along the same lines as you. It's a toxic mix of a lot of motives driving this situation. Everybody wants their 15 seconds of fame and she's about to get hers.

Just because we can't conceive it doesn't mean it's forbidden.
