Ambiguously Gendered Revenge of "What is the Hivemind?"

[Darth K'Trava]

Have you ever wanted to reply to a post in a thread, but it was 3 pages from the last post, and your comment would be a little off color and probbly not well recieved in that discussion, even if it made you laugh?

This is from the Appearance thread, and I'd have been lowering the quality of the thread to reply there. But there IS no quality here, and it's a K'Trava post, so she'll actually read the reply.

What I didn't way in that thread was "Hot enough to make Jack Chick into a Furry. Or is it a Scaly? Whatever you call Reptiliophiles." I'm lame, so what?

That said, I'm back in the hive for the next 5 hours or so. Let's see if I can pull another 100 post day.

- Kemrain the Random.

She'd kick Jack Chick's ass for being a jerkwad (what I'd rather say would get me banned... :\ ) and tell him to "Phlox off!" (the dragon rage she's got a mild case of makes her act as if she's got a case of PMS).

Besides that, she doesn't get into that sort of thing. She still thinks like a human of which she'd been one for just about all her life before "The Change".

Reality Television makes my skin crawl off my body. It isn't 'reality' at all. Reality Television would be broadcasting survielance films from malls. This is just drivvel.

Now there's an idea for the next horror flick.... skin that crawls off one's body... Creepy.





Not that I watch that stuff anyway...

Because 0-dimensional particles would by necessity interact at 0 distance, where Einstein's laws break down, whereas the strings are 1-dimensional, have short lengths, and therefore allow Einsteinian physics to make sense.

I sorta kinda follow.. You did a good job explaining Markov chains in idiot, but your accent is a bit too thick here. Could you dumb it down a little? I understand that it's a means to get Einsteinian and Quantum physics to mesh, but, other than that I'm just a bit fuzzy.

They tried to explain string theory in an old Trek novel but it was beyond me!

I'm quite capable of understandinc concepts, I just don't understand all your names for them. Physics is cool, but peopledon't enjoy teaching it to me because I don't know hat they're talking about until they spell things out.

Once you get past that, I'm pretty smart.

All I took in college was "basic" phyics. Not quantum physics.

Also that people wouldn't have given the theory a second glance. One of the inherent problems with string theory is that it's impossible to observe. It only works in the math.

It seems that alot of things, usually theories, only works "in the math"...

Sure, but you may not like it....

Translation: "He doesn't know what the Fibonacci sequence is? OMFG, we learned that in Second Grade as part of counting, but I'd rather not say that in English because it sounds insulting, so I'll just make a string of flabbergasted smileys to be nicer."

Not all of us go/went to MIT to learn all this stuff...

I don't know what it is either.

There's a reason why I think I could teach at the university but I could never teach an Elementary School (and I admire those who can). I just can't explain mass in simpler terms than "mass." Its mass. Its measured in kilograms. If you're massive, you have lots of mass.

I believe mass is what something actually weighs. Minus variables like gravity...

I could be wrong, it's been abt 12 years since I took physics classes.

 

[Darth K'Trava]

Maybe what you were alluding to, but I didn't notice you specify. I didn't know it was theoretically useful, either. I don't know of theories that are based on String Theory, but I haven't looked that much either.

There was a Trek novel that used it to correlate it with interdimensional travel. Being from the main Trek universe into the Mirror Universe.

My mother is somewhat obsessed with education. She always tries to fix the idiocy and they ignore her. I've also been in groups that testified towards the idiocy of proposed changing that would be deleterious, to no avail, so good luck trying to explain the truth to them, but from my experience, they won't listen.

You can't fix the idiocy unless you get rid of the idiots in charge. Once you can manage to do so, then you can go in and make changes.

Sorry! Intro to Psych stuck!

Yes it did!

Like you need a class to tell someone "you're a loony!"

I've been saying that about people for years without a psych degree!
