All in all, GR is pretty intrinsically accurate then.

Not surprising. Looks like the world's going to cave on him anyway. There's some real crap in the GOP atm.

I think the context was clear. One cannot universally assert what other people experience or don't. Your incredulity is not sufficient evidence to justify your position. Also, why must it be a 'condition' when it's just a different neural architecture in reality. The absence of said function may lead to other constructive abilities to evolve through necessity. Neuroplasticity is a thing

I'm fluid with text as well, but I'm severely deaf. My mind's eye is critical to me as I mostly read peoples mouths and expressions, demeanour, then imagine what all that means and their intent. Visualisation is function of certain interdependent aspects of our brain acting in concert, so if any of that isn't working properly, it is sensible that related abilities will be affected or absent.

I'll think about it later. Need sleep... it's silly o clock!

Right, cheers. If it was us in a reversed situation i.e. if the US or UK in solation acted like China, what do you think our experts would advise to renormalize our associations with the rest of the world, given there aren't the same ideological/political constraints present?

Right. Is it relatively safer now to expose the population compared to last year, given Omicron seems to be losing virulence with its increasing infectivity?

Their vaccines or the West's?

Do you think they've made the right decision? Is there any other way they could have done it, apart from more gradually? It looks we are going into a new episode seeing China trying to renormalize its activities. I'm wondering about this on social, political and epidemiological levels.

Right. Got you. Thank you. That's the way theorists are trying to quantize it by applying cutoffs on the curve?

That's outside my pay grade but thanks for trying.

Does normalize mean translate into other terms that we have a handle on? What is divergence?

Yeah, but GR waves diminish infinitesimally and graviton density diminishes in the same way with a cutoff. That's what I was thinking. Do any of the subatomic forces have a discrete range of influence?

Thanks. I know QM is work in progress. My thinking was that if the emitted gravitons, being discrete, follow the inverse square law as in EM waves, then there might be a point where they get out of range of influence with each other and the gravitational field strength falls off sharply. In a sense, gravitational influence being proportional to the collective graviton density in a given space. Gravity emerges from that interaction between them until they are mutually out of range.

I knew I shouldn't have asked that question... I'll take it as a "No" then.

From the horses mouth on the future in the House: "Gaetz boasted Thursday night that even if McCarthy managed to win, “he will have to live the entirety of his speakership in a straitjacket constructed by these rules that we’re working on now.” McCarthy has just ordered himself a shit sandwich with sides. What the caucus have given McCarthy is akin to giving a thirsty dying man saltwater.

It's hard to argue with its message.

The influence of GR gravity from a mass is infinite. Does the same apply in the quantized description? My thinking is, in the QG case, there must be a smallest value for a graviton, and therefore maximum distance it can influence?

I thought 13 tries was the record in the 1800s. One thing I've learnt is that MTG has one more brain cell than Matt Gaetz.

Three more will make him a historic record breaker.

I could see McConnell getting behind that if it looks irreconcilable any other way. It looks like a compulsory two-way negotiating street this session. With it being so close, 'extreme' agendas from either side are going to skid.

He obviously never read Aesop's Fables as a youngster. I might be showing my age here. "A great conflict was about to come off between the Birds and the Beasts. When the two armies were collected together the Bat hesitated which to join. The Birds that passed his perch said: “Come with us”; but he said: “I am a Beast.” Later on, some Beasts who were passing underneath him looked up and said: “Come with us”; but he said: “I am a Bird.” Luckily at the last moment peace was made, and no battle took place, so the Bat came to the Birds and wished to join in the rejoicings, but they all turned against him and he had to fly away. He then went to the Beasts, but soon had to beat a retreat, or else they would have torn him to pieces. “Ah,” said the Bat, “I see now, “He that is neither one thing nor the other has no friends.” It's pertinent especially to Manchin and Sinema as well. I rate them about the same as McCarthy.

McCarthy's capitulation shows how spineless and needy he is. It's not good for the country, but this guy has less spine than a wet paper bag and deserves what he's going through. All he's harped on about is revenge.
