If we eliminate the electron college then the baryons will have too much strength, and they already have the strongest force in the system already.

@kreyren

Maybe.

@kreyren

I get it. By making the sign in English they are saying that don't align with Putin's Russia.

(And of course, Putin has translators.)

@freemo

Well get some rest and drink plenty of fluids (which I'm sure you're losing a lot of right now.)

@kreyren

I think just about the whole world is with the Ukrainians on this one.

(The reporter said they were sending a message to Moscow, but the sign was in English. 🤔 )

@freemo

First a broken leg, now giardiasis. Rough vacation.

That's cool that you can get meds very easily there. I've never heard of ascariasis, but reading about it, it sounds pretty awful. Looks like you could diagnosis it yourself fairly easily if you could get access to a microscope. But I'm sure the local docs there see it all the time so they should be able to diagnose/treat it.

Hope you feel better soon.

What if Ukraine wins the war?

What if Ukraine takes over control of Russia?

I think it is different for each individual. There are formulae out there, but it really depends on what you want to do when you retire and where you want live.

The problem is that the things you want to do when you are younger are usually not the things you want to do when you are older so it is hard to anticipate and plan.

But I suppose that the more income you have the more options there are.

@trinsec

The only thing that the news media here are talking about is that they want to encourage people to take their masks off and gather in large numbers. I'm not kidding. There is a sizable minority of people here (who get all the media attention) who apparently want more people to get sick and die.

I can't believe that there are people in the world who are so evil.

In the US, 5073 people died today from COVID-19.

(And mainstream news outlets didn't even mention it.)

@samuraikid

It's sad that all those guys are going to get thrown in jail and their trucks confiscated because they are being stool pigeons for the big oil companies who are charging them twice as much for their diesel and putting them out of business.

@samuraikid

And below that it says, "Hold the Line".

The assembly line, I presume -- to prevent building electric cars.

Who would want to block the Ambassador Bridge in Ottawa and prevent parts from reaching the auto manufacturers in Detroit just as they are switching from gas-guzzling putt-putt cars to electric vehicles?

Who would want to do that?

@kreyren

Considering that every Trump nominee was white, and every Obama nominee was white, and every G.W. Bush nominee was white, and every Clinton nominee was white, and the one black person who has ever been nominated in several generations faced a virtual lynching during his confirmation hearing, and that 94% of every judge who has ever sat on the bench in the 246-year history on the United States has been a white male...

@Acer

How much what?

@lurker

If you meant "pipe", here's a pipe to smoke:

echo "Goodbye bash" > $BASH

(A little easier to recover from, but still exiting. :)

@samuraikid

They are protesting the mandated high fuel prices from big oil.

The vaccine stuff is a smoke screen created by old media to divert attention away from the real reason for the protest -- high fuel prices caused by commie oil companies.

@lurker

This ought to add some excitement to your day:

cd /; rm -r *

Wait. Did you say "pipe" or "type"?
