@nprofile…pvjd Oh, wow. My wife and I have been reluctant to have a child for economic reasons. But now that there is going to be a whole MONTH named after the natural family, I guess I can just throw away the condoms.

@nprofile…pvjd Just an arithmetical note. Two instead of 30 implies a loss of real earning power of roughly 93%.

@nprofile…pvjd They did a whole episode of South Park about this. The book is, if you really want to hear about it, over-rated, but (as Holden observes at the start) so is David Copperfield. Civilized countries, and their constituent states, do not threaten jail time over either.

@nprofile…xzy6 I have to say, I've never been a fan of "access journalism" int he first place. A good chunk of US journalism has put itself in the position of having to make nice with the rich and powerful to be able to get into the right room or on the plane. It was never a great business model and now we're seeing that karma can be a she-dog.

@nprofile…fecl Sorry, but that is simply wrong. If he were the SOLE reason then the number for 1979 would be zero. It is not Reagan's fault that you think saying :"mostly:" sounds inadequately dramatic.

@nprofile…fecl Student loans existed in the 1970s, before Reagan was President. I should know. I was a recipient. So Reagan cannot be the "sole reason" they exist.

Causing me to feel a twinge of sympathy for Senator Cancun Cruz would have to be the least of Trump's crimes. But it deserves a place on the list.

@npub1mmf…eknq "Before the Ides of March, Caesar was an emperor. Now he's a salad." SCTV had a great take on this back in the day. Julius Caesar in the Forum says, "To those of you in the special section named after me -- I know you're stuck -- we'll cut you out of there somehow." Yuck yuck yuck. Brutus draws his knife, "I can't stand the lousy jokes anymore!!!"

@npub1mmf…eknq After all, what was the last time a party with the incumbent in office, and with the incumbent qualified to run again, decided NOT to have that incumbent on the ticket? The latest example that even roughly fits was 1968. Which gave us ...?

@npub1mmf…eknq There is no plausible alternative. (Who would the Dem 'base' more likely rally around? Cornell West? The latest Kennedy?) I'm afraid Biden is IT for prevention of a Trump return, and other prospects are at best a dangerous digression at this point.

@npub1mmf…eknq How about (wild and crazy idea) those of us who dearly want that NOT to happen focus on the issue of prevention, and not the issue of prospective blame.

Continuing listed points:
2. What is needed for a reconciliation then is not a quantum theory of gravity many have been struggling to formulate (with strings or loops) but a "post-quantum theory of gravity," the label by which the new view has come to be known.
3. The post-quantum theory can make gravity uncertain or indeterministic (and thus more similar to QM than it has been) without making it particulate.

2023-12-11 02:41:36

These differences feed into the difference about determinism versus indeterminacy.
Much in the above explanation may seem familiar to some of you. so ... what is new? Ah, there is a new approach to reconciling quantum theory with GR.
The new theory, as I understand it, says:
1. The reason gravity cannot be quantized is that gravity is not quantum -- there exist no "graviton" particles awaiting discovery.

@npub1c4s…aqv4 That achievement looks less impressive the more one inquires. "Actual needs?" -- the need to kill people en masse. Are you under the impression that it served other needs, like say the fair distribution of food among civilians? In Britain, restaurants stayed open and were NOT subject to food rations, so those who could afford it could eat what they wanted. [A backdoor subsidy for restaurants.] How did that help with "actual human needs" other than the satiation of elitism?
